...The P.U.H. stands for Personal Underwater Habitat. With my bag of baitfish and my gigantic prize, I swam up to the entrance. This entrance was unlike any other entrance to a home. This entrance was at the bottom of a building attached to seafloor by chains. The P.U.H. was shaped like a half globe with small portholes along the midsection. To an outsider, it looked like I was living in a flying saucer. As I poked my head through I pulled down the cable from the pulley attached to the ceiling. I ran this cable through the dead brown groupers mouth and out through the gills. I quickly threw the bag full of tiny fish onto the habitat’s deck and started to pull the fish up. With the fish finally out of the water, I took my face mask off and unhooked my regulator from the oxygen tank. Slowly, I brought the oxygen tank to the refilling...

...possible. However, the second I saw Nova’s dirty blonde hair make its entrance into this world I knew my thinking was flawed. All the trees in town were barren, their leaves long since made their ways to obscenely large black trash bags and compost piles. November had just said goodbye, while me and my wife we’re anxiously awaiting our chance to say hello to our first-born daughter for the first time. Having been carrying the burden of two for every bit of two hundred and eighty days, my wife was exhausted. We spent hours on every mommy blog we could find -- filtering through all the myths on how to naturally induce labor in hopes of finding something that actually worked. We tried them all; Spicy foods and certain teas, but, as one would expect, none of them worked. That is until we read about how walking could help encourage labor. While it might have been coincidence, during a short walk around the block my wife’s contractions started screaming it was time....

...Parenting in Today’s China: Concerns, Anxiety, and Commitment* Dr. Gan Wang, Associate Senior Research, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, Beijing Since the late 1990s, there has been a proliferation of parenting discussion forums (BBS) on the Internet in China. On the BBS, many young parents with higher education keep records of their children’s development, socialize with other parents, first in the virtual space, then in real space., communicate knowledge of childrearing and ECE, and discuss and debate over many issues in early childhood. In an earlier paper of mine, I claim that the Internet provides a new kind of social space in which the young mothers assert their new identity. Today, I’ll concentrate on one special debate issue. Examining the debate, I propose that to better understand challenges and concerns facing Chinese parents, a cultural historical approach should be adopted. Viewing parenting BBS, you often see great concerns and anxieties over the issue whether young children should “learn things”. To study or not to study, that is the question. There are some stories on the internet by ambitious parents who teach their children to recite dozens of Chinese classic poems at the age of 2, to recognize over a thousand Chinese characters and start to read at the age of 3, and play piano at the age of 4. Some of these parents keep record of their children’s progress in these studies and post on the Internet. Other parents might ask them in details and learn...

...My life’s direction and purpose has not always been clear, but more of a muddled path with multiple turns, bumps, and progress along the way. Pursuing higher education and continuously developing new skill sets have always been personal objectives for me. I have learned through my life lessons the basic value of self-improvement. An MBA would enhance my capability to independently assess multiple situations, develop a rational plan and execute the plan. Obtaining an MBA will present new opportunities for me to figure out where I want to work and study. My success in life will be enhanced when I complete an MBA and pursue a new professional career path. As an undergraduate student, I majored in biochemistry. I believed having a scientific background would give me the skill set to lead me wherever I wanted to go in life. However, by the time I entered my junior year I was in serious doubt regarding my degree decision and my passion for biochemistry. After discussing my options with my parents, we came to an agreement that I would finish my degree because it would give me a solid foundation with a technical education. The biochemistry curriculum exposes participants to high levels of proficiency in math, logic, and problem solving. Additionally, the curriculum promotes the development to work independently and think creatively about potential solutions. I finished my degree but continued to feel very sceptical about pursuing higher education because I wanted to make sure I chose...

...Advantage and disadvantage of entrance exams to universities in China and US As we all know, students who want to go to college must take exams which are called “entrance exams to Universities”. College entrance exams are considered to be the unique approach that the students are admitted by the colleges, and a significant factor that determines a student’s future development. They’re even regarded as one of the turning points in their lives. The similarity of the college entrance exams in China and that in the Western countries is that they are both the ways of selecting students for the colleges. Well, it's a must door for all the Chinese senior students to the higher education. It may be considered to be too exam-oriented, or too narrow and strict to the students, however it has last for decades. It is actually useful in choosing talented people. To take an even spectacular example, in order to get a good result, students must be hard working, considerable, insistent and knowledgeable, and these, are just what the society needs. In total, everything exists has a reason. I think the exam is workable in some way, but can still be improved. In China, more than half students take exams on June 17th and 18th, in China. In that day, many students march in the classroom to wait for the examinations. Whatever the weather is hot, they full of confidence and stress to write down their answers. Even though they are ill and cannot give up the test, for they cannot live up to...

...my dreams and my life drastically. Any dilemma is a question that requires you to invest your time, your thoughts and then act. Act only when you are sure: when you are sure of what you believe, then you shall never repent for your choice and you shall never question your identity. You will lose yourself once you have succumbed to the pressure of society. In fact, I actually did. And by fate and God’s grace, I had a narrow escape: God knew it was not the right path for me. I knew it, too, but sometimes wearing a mask becomes important when it’s for love, survival or persuasion, In Orwell’s case I felt it was due to persuasion and his image. In the year 2005, I joined the vacation batch of a reputed coaching centre to train for medical entrance...

...I must do in my life. Before, I used to consider using bio bags and separating the garbage like plastic, glass, food, metal and etc. as wasting of time. Separating the trash is easy but I’m lazy to bring them to the right places since there is not any place near by our house for plastic and metal garbage. I changed the current normal dishwashing liquid and laundry detergent into Eco labels, I also asked my boyfriend to change energy-saving lamps in every rooms and he was wondering what on earth happened to me that time. I even wrote down the text “Turn the lights off before leaving home” and sticked it on the entrance door. Before I usually did mouthwash straight from the tap after brushing teeth but nowadays I use glass of water to avoid water running too much. If my boyfriend hadn’t started to complain about bio toilet paper after the few times we tried it and if paper wasn’t too hard to use, I would continue to use it. And then I convinced my mother to make a bio revolution for my little sister’s foods, diaper and clothes; despite there are not many options of organic products. A while ago I have started to store newspapers and to wash the empty milk cartons and dry them out then give to my boyfriend’s mother so she can burn them in fireplace and sauna instead of using only woods. That can also save her a tiny amount of money but the main thing is to reduce the trash to the...

...Green—Implementing our recycling program [pic] Introductory Summary [pic] The following report is the findings of the recycling committee. In efforts to jump-start the program, we consulted with coworkers to gain insight about recycling. Yorel Demouchet, an IT tech, implemented a program and she shared how she did it. We also interviewed Freddie Lyons, a former Waste Management Recycling Specialist. Basically, both of them said the same thing with the exception that Mr. Lyons gave more in-depth details about recycling as oppose to Yorel’s hands on experience. The planning stage is fundamental they both said. The planning and motivating stages enhances succeed. With their advice and research, we decided that paper, computer/computer parts, and ink/toner cartridge are the items we will start collecting.

...Harvard Business School 9-297-005 Rev. October 18, 1996 D O Private Equity Investment in Russia: Alliance Cellulose Limited N In April, 1995, portfolio managers were reassessing the investment climate in Russia. Since the disintegration of Communism and the Soviet Union in 1991, western investors had been intrigued by the potentially huge returns that could be gained by participating in the restructuring of the Russian economy. Russia’s transformation to a market system, however, had been highlighted by missteps and disappointments. Foreign investors who had jumped into the market only eight months earlier were burned badly by a general market collapse in October. Furthermore, Russia’s political and economic future were uncertain. O Nevertheless, Russia possessed many attractive features that could reward those with the courage to invest at this early stage of market development. Russia’s natural resources accounted for significant portions of the world’s proven oil and gas, timber, coal, and minerals reserves. In addition, the privatization process, lack of internal capital, and country-specific risk resulted in valuations for Russian companies that seemed to be small fractions of their world peers. T Russia in 1995 was frequently compared to America’s “Wild West,” when the search for riches and general lawlessness combined to create very volatile conditions. While western money managers were drawn to Russia by tantalizing asset valuations...
