...Hoffman Flight Eugene Kessler was supposed to be my brother's best friend, but he and I actually had a lot more in common. It wasn't so much that Eugene and I liked each other, or that there was any possibility of romance between us. It was more that we both despised Franconia, the suburb where we were doomed to live. In Franconia, no one's imagination was working overtime, that much was evident from the moment you first walked through town, where you could find the Franconia High School, the Franconia Mail, the Franconia Diner, and, for special occasions - proms, for instance, or extramarital trysts - the Franconia Steak House, which Eugene and I called Marie's, not only because Marie Fortuna's husband caught her there, eating antipasto with her boyfriend, who happened to be the soccer coach at the high school, but because we couldn't stand to hear the word Franconia used one more time. Eugene and I were in business together, earning money for our escape from town by selling term papers, and June was our busiest time of the year. By the end of the month, however, we were no longer doing our best work. The pressure was on, the stupid among us had panicked, and I was writing all night. In part, I kept odd hours because my brother strongly disapproved of our venture, and Jason was so honest and good that a single look from him could make a person feel sordid and corrupt. But the real reason I was writing three or more papers at a time was that Eugene was in charge of the...

...is actually a fairly recent form of information management and retrieval. There were three factors that led to the development of citation indexing back in the 1950's. With the huge influx of government dollars into research and development following World War II, the research community naturally began to publicly document its findings through the accepted channel of published scientific journal literature. The subsequent burgeoning of the literature created a need for a method of indexing and retrieval that would be more cost effective and efficient than the then-current model of human indexing of materials for subject specific indices. While the subtle judgements made by subject specialists were valuable in giving depth to a subject index, manual indexing was both a more time consuming process and labor intensive. Its costs increased in proportion to the growth of material to be indexed. So the need for a better way of managing information was the first factor. The second factor was the growing dissatisfaction with the capacity of subject indexing to meet the needs of the active researcher. At this point in time, a subject index could have excessive lag times in adding materials to the indexes of the time; months could pass before researchers in one field would learn of published findings in some other...

...Renaissance of the Design Studio SOCIAL AND BEHAVIOR FACTORS IN DESIGN - ARCH423b PROF. KATHERINE ANTHONY, INSTRUCTOR FALL 2013 - Peter F. smith This paper is in response to reading 'Design Juries on Trial, The Renaissance of the Design Studio, (1999) by Katherine H. Anthony. I am firstly sharing my best design experience at Harvard University School of Design, in a class 'Presentation Skills, and Getting Published', taught by Eugene Kohn, KPF Architects. When attending the presentation skills class, we were broken into small groups and given projects to attend to. When we pursued gathering information for this topic, we were guided by an attorney working for KPF who introduced us to a procedure called 'throwing the long ball'. Mr. Kohn's attorney shared several pages of a method where 3 students could sequentially gather a very large amount of information about a client, and that client's needs. When presenting our project, he used video cameras to record our body language, as we were practicing, like a mock jury, to package our best practiced presentation to our client. Eugene Kohn.

Domestication designates the type of translation in which a transparent, fluent style is adopted to minimize the strangeness of the foreign text for target language readers; while foreignization means a target text is produced which deliberately breaks target conventions by retaining something of the foreignness of the original. In the contemporary international translation field, E ugene Nida is regarded as the representative of those who favour domesticating translation, whereas the Italian scholar L aw rence Venuti is regarded to be the spokesman for those who favour foreignizing translation, who has also led the debate to a white-hot state. Index Terms domestication, foreignization, translation strategies I. OVERVIEW OF DOMESTICATION AND FOREIGNIZATION Domestication and foreignization are two basic translation strategies which provide both linguistic and cultural guidance. They are termed by American translation theorist...

...Teaching Methods of Translation toward English Major Students Xiyue Bai 201020383 Foreign Language Department Northwest University Abstract Based on modern educational theories and the foundation of the combination of task-based teaching approach and cooperative learning, this paper focuses on converse thinking mode and open teaching method in teaching translation course. The reversed thinking mode would help to avoid the phenomenon of theory disengages practice and it stresses practicalness. The application of open teaching method will also be discussed in the case of teaching fundamental translation course. Open translation teaching method is student-centered, leading by teacher, which emphasizes that students find, search and solve issues by themselves and helps students with their translation skills and creativity. Key Words: Translation, Reversed thinking, Open mode, Teaching I. Current Chinese Translation Course Teaching Status As is well-known in China that there are no translation courses for lower grade English major students in Chinese colleges until they enter into junior year or senior year. For some colleges with only two credit hours in one week. It’s unlikely for the teachers to finish the course completely in such a short time if they need to introduce basic concepts of translation, home and abroad translation histories and theories, to make the students be familiar with...

...Author: Solomon Arhin Theoretical paper TOPIC; MAJOR ECONOMIC FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE INTEREST RATE IN UNITED STATES INTRODUCTION Issues of interest rate are of major concern to every citizen in United States and often call for long debate and discussions among economists and other specialists . Generally, interest rate is defined as the rate which is charged or paid for the use of money. In other words, the cost for the use of money is called interest rate. Interest rate can be stated as real or nominal. Real rate of interest excludes inflation but nominal interest rate includes the effect of inflation. Factors influencing interest rate could be discussed differently from various field of study such as finance and accounting. However, this paper seeks to discussed, theoretically, only the major economic factors influencing interest rate in US. SCOPE There are four major factors that are found to influence the rate of interest in United States. These factors are the Federal Reserve policy, budget deficits or surplus, business level activity and international trade deficit or surplus. 1. Federal Reserve policy In United States, the Federal Reserve Board controls the money supply. The money supply has a major effect on both the level of economic activity and the inflation rate. If the Fed wants to stimulate the economy, it increases growth in the money supply. The initial effect is to cause interest rates to decline but a larger supply...

The industrial revolt in the North, throughout the first few years of the 19th century, resulted into Machine age economy that depend on wage manual worker, not slaves. At the same time, the Southern states continuously to depend on slaves for their agricultural economy and cotton manufacture. South made enormous revenues from cotton, slaves and struggled to sustain them. Northside did not require slaves to maintain their economy so they fought to free abolish slavery as whole from United States. History shows us the agricultural economy was indeed one cause of civil war, but it certainly wasn’t the only cause. Wars are complicated and there causes are not simple understandable. In this research paper we will discuss causes what started the Civil War. A war that separated the nations, ruined harvests, towns, and railroad lines. Many issues embarked the nation into disorder in 1861. Key administrative foundations contain the slow collapse of the Whig Party, the establishment of the Democrat Party and, the 1860’s voting of Abraham Lincoln as president. Religious disagreement to slavery also increased, braced by ministers and protestors such as “William Lloyd Garrison”. Ecological...

...4-MAT Review Paper Juli J. McFarland Liberty University Summary In his book Integrative Approaches to Psychology and Christianity, David Entwistle introduces the complicated connection between psychology and theology. The connection between psychology and theology is a topic of great argument. (Entwistle, 2010) Some scholars believe it is a great idea to connect psychology and theology, while others believe it would be harmful to do so. Entwistle focuses on the similarities of psychology and theology, instead of their differences. Psychology focuses on finding the cause of behavior through biological and environmental methods as well as past experiences. Theology focuses on the cause of behavior being linked to sin. Psychology focuses on healing through theories. Theology focuses on healing through Christ. Even though psychology and theology have different methods they have similar goals to achieve overall wellness. Entwistle stated that both psychology and theology focus on the cause of behavior and healing. (Entwistle, 2010) Psychology and theology also both contain truth. Entwistle believes “All truth is God’s truth.” (Entwistle, 2010) Psychology and theology are not so different and both can be combined to help achieve overall wellness in the lives of others. Entwistle made a point that theology and science have been embattled throughout history. Entwistle explains that how a person views the world determines how they view the truth in their lives. Entwistle also emphasizes...

...ASCE2; and Steven Hecker3 Abstract: This paper analyzes the impact of a large-scale safety-in-design initiative during the design and construction of a semiconductor manufacturing facility in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. Drawing on multiple data sources including individual interviews, group interviews, construction documentation, and an expert panel involved in the initiative, the writers identify 26 potential design changes on the project and assess the importance of timing, trade contractor involvement, and the type of design change in determining whether a proposed design change was ultimately integrated into the final construction plans. The writers further consider whether adopted design changes would have occurred in the absence of the safety-in-design initiative and whether the accepted design changes ultimately impacted construction site safety on the project. This analysis of a full-scale safety-in-design initiative provides important insights into how injury prevention efforts in the construction industry can begin upstream by involving designers, engineers, and trade contractors in preconstruction processes.

...David Hanson Integration of Psychology and Theology COUN506-B15 Liberty University Dr. Wayne Wilson Spring 2014 Integrative Approaches to Psychology and Christianity Author – David N. Entwistle Abstract The book “Integrative Approaches to Psychology and Christianity” by David Entwistle, is a tightly packed explanation of the relationship between Christianity (theology) and psychology. Through most of history there has been many a heated debate over these two topics being integrated. Entwistle presents information that shows how the two are both designed by God and that God is the author of all truth (Entwistle, 150). Entwistle attempts to walk the reader through various investigated claims and the tensions that ensue from these arguments. We typically go through life looking through our own lens of how things should be based on our own worldview. How we see things and interpret them are filtered through our limited understanding of the world. “Worldviews function somewhat like eyeglasses” (Ibid, 56). This concept is held to throughout the book. The author wants the reader to understand how people learn and determine their view of truth. Entwistle introduces the term epistemology. This is “an exercise of intellectual virtue” (Ibid, 76). These virtues include honesty, humility, respectfulness, compassion, etc. He points out the necessity of these virtues in order to better help us evaluate ourselves. Entwistle presents...

...and financial market. It is used primarily in the forecasting of the prices of stocks. This is useful to determine and forecast the prices of stocks given previous stock prices. This paper discusses the basis of the hypothesis, the two types of random walk hypothesis, its framework, methodologies and the analysis of its repercussions. INTRODUCTION The random walk hypothesis states that stock price changes have the same distribution and are independent of one another, so the past movement or trend of a stock price or of the market as a whole cannot be used to predict its future price or any possible future trends. The concept originated in the late 1800s from Jules Regnault, a French broker, and Louis Bachelier, a French mathematician, whose Ph.D. dissertation titled "The Theory of Speculation". The same ideas were later developed and studied further by Paul Cootner, an MIT Sloan School of Management professor, in his 1964 book The Random Character of Stock Market Prices. The term was popularized by the 1973 book, A Random Walk Down Wall Street, by Burton Malkiel, a professor of economics at Princeton University, and was used earlier in Eugene Fama's 1965 article "Random Walks In Stock Market Prices”. The theory that stock prices move randomly was earlier proposed by Maurice Kendall in his 1953 paper, “The Analytics of Economic Time Series, Part 1: Prices”. To further the understanding of the random walk hypothesis, the discussion of the two techniques used in the prediction of...
