...includes thinking twice about flying or driving to college campuses to interview prospective employees. That doesn’t mean recruiters have stopped communicating with students. In more and more cases, it does mean the conversation may take place over a distance, using state-of-the-art technology. The interview setup can be as simple as two laptops loaded with Skype software, which allows phone calls and webcam images to be transmitted over the Internet. Or it may involve thousands of dollars’ worth of videoconferencing equipment for a more natural approach. At Liberty Mutual Group, recruiting director Ann Nowak visits a few schools where the company has strong relationships and has found a good pool of talent. But she says, “Sometimes I get inquiries from very strong candidates in the top 10 percent of their class” at other schools, and she doesn’t want them to slip away. Although the insurance company is growing and hiring sales representative, Nowak can’t afford to fly across the country for a handful of interviews, so she has set up an online recruiting and selection system. Students at distant schools can view online presentations about the kinds of positions the company has available. And when an interested prospect seems like he or she might be a good match. Nowak can use Web-based interviewing to narrow her choices. The company invites those who survive the cut to fly to head-quarters for an interview. Anheuser-Busch InBev is another company that recruits on college campuses...

...is one of the most famous. Although they have no political power, they tend to have a lasting impression on the country. Lady Diana Spencer became part the royal family in 1980 and suffered with the constant pressure and criticism from the outside world. With attention toward Diana gaining popularity, the royal family had become more of a tourist attraction than a symbol of the nation. Decades later, the commoner, Kate Middleton has a more difficult time filling in after the lasting impression of Princess Diana. Kate keeps working at filling in the footsteps of Diana and has gained the attention and recognition of the country. Although decades apart and from different backgrounds, Princess Diana of Wales and Kate Middleton both managed to capture the country’s attention through their marriage of potential heirs of England and developed lasting cultural impressions throughout the country as a result. Lady Diana Spencer was first noted as being a shy, young kindergarten teacher who went through many conflicts leading to and throughout her marriage with Prince Charles. Diana went through to a large extent of drama in her childhood years. Diana did not necessarily have the best home life, but she learned to make the best of it and as a result she became a stronger person (Leete-Hodge 20). The hardships began in 1969 with the divorce of her parents. Diana and her siblings stayed with her father, visiting their mother often, and tried to continue with a normal life. Unfortunately...

...Carpinteria, California (CNN) -- Prince William and his polo team won a round-robin match Saturday, garnering them a sterling silver and gold trophy -- weighing 14.7 pounds in the precious metals -- after he scored four goals in the final game. His team won the pivotal game 5-3. "A storybook ending here at Santa Barbara!" the announcer told hundreds of spectators at the Santa Barbara Polo and Racquet Club. A confident prince had predicted he would win the 18-inch-tall trophy, exclusively created by Tiffany silversmiths for the match. His wife, Catherine, awarded the trophy cup to William and his three teammates after the royal couple exchanged congratulatory kisses on both cheeks. She also gave Tiffany gifts to all 12 polo players who played on the three teams participating in the six chukkars, or six periods, of Saturday's play. Before the game, the prince declared he and wife Catherine arrived at "one of the most beautiful polo grounds anywhere in the world" to raise money for charity and compete. "I'm not a good loser," he joked with hundreds of guests under a white tent as they prepared to eat lunch, adding he wanted to win.

I was born and raised in an urban area; then we moved to America for better education and career for my sisters and I. My parents were not that educated but they spent all their life savings on my sister’s and I’s education. They had a dream for us to get better jobs. As for me, I went to the richest school in India and had the best education that I could have. I didn’t have any goals or dreams about what I wanted to do and what I should do to achieve them— all I knew was that I wanted to be a police officer in the future. The day I moved to America and to my new high school, I realized I needed dreams that would make my life easier and bring a better future to me. This is why I believe in Dreams.

...To my kids, Tomorrow is a big day. Fourth Grade, Middle School, and High School – wow! Kids-- When I was in third grade, there was a little boy in my class named Adam. Adam looked a little different and he wore funny clothes and sometimes he even smelled a little bit. Adam didn't smile. He hung his head low and he never looked at anyone at all. Adam never did his homework. I don't think his parents reminded him like yours do. The other kids teased Adam a lot. Whenever they did, his head hung lower and lower and lower. I never teased him, but I never told the other kids to stop, either. And I never talked to Adam, not once. I never invited him to sit next to me at lunch, or to play with me at recess. Instead, he sat and played by himself. He must have been very lonely. I still think about Adam every day. I wonder if Adam remembers me? Probably not. I bet if I'd asked him to play, just once, he'd still remember me. I think that God puts people in our lives as gifts to us. The children in your class this year, they are some of God's gifts to you. So please treat each one like a gift from God. Every single one. If you see a child being left out, or hurt, or teased, a part of your heart will hurt a little. Dink and I want you to trust that heartache. Your whole life, we want you to notice and trust your heartache. That heartache is called compassion, and it is God's signal to you to do something. It is God saying, Bethany, William, Brendan! Wake up! One of my babies is hurting...

...On January 9th, 1982, a baby girl was born to two former flight attendants. Little did they know their child would one day become part of the Royal family. From a commoner to Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton has lived an extraordinary life. Today, I will tell you a little bit about her extraordinary life. I have thoroughly researched many important aspects of Kate’s life, from her childhood to her life as royalty. Today, I will tell you about her early childhood, relationship with William, and current life as Duchess of Cambridge. As I just mentioned I would like to tell you a little bit about Kate during her childhood years. Kate’s early childhood was quite different from the life that she lives today. Kate was born into an ordinary middle-class family and was the oldest of three children. Nicholas Kohler, in his article on Kate Middleton that appeared in Maclean’s on November 29th, 2010, tells us that Kate’s parent, Michael and Carole Middleton, met while working as flight attendants. In 1987, Carole Middleton launched a family business called Party Pieces when Kate was five years old. This successful business that sold children’s party gear made the Middleton family millionaires. The success of party pieces enables the Middleton’s to send their children to expensive boarding schools. Andrew Morton, in his book, William and Catherine: Their Story writes that Kate was bullied at Downs House, the all girls school she attended. According to the biography.com website, she...

Ever since I was a little girl, I've always wanted a better life for myself and for the people who I'll always be around. Even when I was little, I knew what I had to do to achieve these goals to better myself. And this was to graduate from high school, with good grades, awards, and to stay involved in my community.

...Hopes and Aspirations We all have dreams. They are our hopes and aspirations. We all dreams of something, whether it be growing up to be rich and famous, marrying that one person of our dreams, or anything else we wish to accomplish. Dreams are the pleasant images that pass through our mind during slumber. The bottom line is we all have dreams and one day we hope to accomplish them For the most part people believe the cliche that dreams do come true. Obviously everyone wants their dreams to come true, because we have this impression that dreams are supposed to be these wonderful and magical visions. When we have a bad dream, we give it a totally different name, we call it a nightmare. When we have a good dream, we do not have a separate name for that. So this gives dreams a positive connotation. Most people are fine with this, and do not think anything of it. The etymology of the word actually means something quite different. The word dream originates from a German word, which actually means to deceive or delude. It also has to do with ghost or apparition. Somewhere along the way the word changed from something that had negative connotation to a more peaceful and happy word. I do not believe that the phrase dream should keep its positive association with out having some negative side. What I find very strange is, the meaning of the German word that dream derives from is not found in any English dictionary today. It can only be found when searching for the etymology of the...

...want to find and marry Prince Charming. The feeling of royalty at your feet would be so good to be true. A shy girl named Diana Spencer was given the opportunity to become a Princess of the English Monarchy. She had her very own tiara and married a handsome prince, just like in fairy tales. The beautiful young lady captured hearts around the world for her warm kindness and dedication towards the people. She became one of the world’s most glamorous and famous figures. Everyone thought that she was the luckiest and happiest girl living. But the ending of Princess Diana’s story didn’t turn out quite as expected, nor had a “happy ever after”. II. BODY Diana Frances Spencer was born on July 1, 1961 at Park House, the home that her parents rented on Queen Elizabeth II’s state at Sandringham and where her childhood playmates were the queen’s younger sons, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward. She was the youngest daughter of Edward John Spencer and Frances Ruth Burke Roche, the Viscount and Viscountess Althorp (Encyclopedia Britannica). Her father had been a royal equerry for both King George VI and Queen Elizabeth II, making them close to the royal family (BBC). Unfortunately, Diana’s parents split up when she was six. Still, that didn’t stop her in becoming Lady Diana Spencer when her father earned the title Earl Spencer (Encyclopedia Britannica). Lady Diana was sent to boarding school, eventually attending West Health Public School in Kent where she excelled at sports, particularly...
