...Whenever a discussion on identity is introduced, the most-cited poem in Korea is “The Flower” by Chunsu Kim. He sings of being himself as becoming a colorful and fragrant flower. To be the flower that will rightly represent his identity, he needs someone to call his name. In this poem, identity is not seen as something that is solid and concrete but as something that is situated and constructed by others, a glimpse of poststructuralist view on identity. Recently, language learning has been seen as participation and negotiation of self (see Higgins, forthcoming; Kinginger, 2004; Lam, 2000; Morita, 2004; Ohara, 2001; Pavlenko & Lantolf, 2000; and Solé, 2007 among others). The trend is resonated in the growing interest in language learner identity and the studies in narratives. In this paper, a case of heritage language learner will be investigated upon the theoretical frame of poststructuralism. Narrative inquiry will be used to analyze how she negotiates her learner identity. The purpose of this paper is two-fold: First, by looking at the struggle a language learner makes to acquire her heritage language, I reclaim the centrality of identity in defining heritage language learners. Second, to widen the horizons of narrative studies to the cyber space as it provides an ample source of easily accessible data and it has become one of the commonplace media of daily communication. Heritage Language Learners and Identity To refer to the Heritage Language Learners (HLLs), various...

...Running head: HOMELAND SECURITY 410 - FINAL PROJECT TOPIC Provide a synopsis of the article written by Professor Alan Dershowitz. Then identify and describe the critical issues addressed in the article. In your paper, thoroughly discuss and evaluate the following concepts: the ticking time bomb hypothesis; Dershowitz's comments regarding Jeremy Bentham as well as his comments about Voltaire's views; and the three ways to deal with the use of torture in the ticking time bomb situation, as stated by the Israeli government-appointed commission of the late 1980s. As part of the discussion about the commission's conclusions, include Dershowitz's "fourth road." Abstract After the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack on America, numerous articles and books were published. These articles and books analyzed why the 9/11 attack happened and proposed solutions on how to prevent terrorist attacks in the future. Alan Dershowitz contributed to this body of literature from a lawyer's perspective in his book titled Why Terrorism Works: Understanding the Threat, Responding to the Challenge. In an article from the book titled, Should the Ticking Time Bomb Terrorist Be Tortured, many of his suggestions such as the use of torture, are rather controversial; however, Dershowitz encourages people to rethink current notions of security, liberty, and international law. Alan Dershowitz acknowledges that he is not an expert on terrorism; his opinions, suggestions and methods...

...Kitch 1 Tristan Kitch Mrs. Hayden IB Biology HL 2 8 September 2014 An Investigation of the Effect of Wavelength on Photosynthesis DESIGN: Research Question: The purpose of this lab is to determine how the wavelength of light that alfalfa sprouts are exposed to affects the rate of photosynthesis in those plants. Hypothesis: Photosynthesis will occur at the highest frequency when the alfalfa plants are exposed to blue light (475 nm) ("What Wavelength Goes With a Color?"). The second highest amount of photosynthesis will occur when the alfalfa plants are exposed to red light (650 nm) ("What Wavelength Goes With a Color?"), and the lowest amount of photosynthesis will occur when the alfalfa plants are exposed to green light (510 nm) ("What Wavelength Goes With a Color?"). This is because the pigments in the plants’ chloroplasts, such as chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and carotenoids, absorb the most light in the blue color range, the second most light (of the selected colors) in the red range, and the least amount of light in the green range (see Figure 1). Kitch 2 Figure 1: Amount of Light Absorbed by Chloroplast Pigments Chlorophyll a absorbs the most light in the blue to indigo and red to orange ranges, chlorophyll b absorbs the most light in the blue and orange ranges, and carotenoids absorb the most light in the blue to blue-green range (“Absorption Spectrum”). Background: Originally, an experiment was run using chloroplast solutions rather than alfalfa...

...© Andrew Le Sueur 2004, a.lesueur@bham.ac.uk The rise and ruin of unreasonableness? Andrew Le Sueur Barber Professor of Jurisprudence, The University of Birmingham 1. Introduction Lest we forget what was actually said in 1948, Lord Greene stated:[1] It is true to say that, if a decision on a competent matter is so unreasonable that no reasonable authority could ever have come to it, then the courts can interfere. That, I think, is quite right; but to prove a case of that kind would require something overwhelming … It is not what the court considers unreasonable, a different thing altogether. If it is what the court considers unreasonable, the court may very well have different views to that of a local authority on matters of high public policy of this kind. Some courts might think that no children ought to be admitted on Sundays at all, some courts might think the reverse, and all over the country I have no doubt on a thing of that sort honest and sincere people hold different views. The effect of the legislation is not to set up the court as an arbiter of the correctness of one view over another. It is the local authority that are set in that position and, provided they act, as they have acted, within the four corners of their jurisdiction, this court, in my opinion, cannot interfere. Put like this, unreasonableness as a ground of review is a straightforward concept, based on sound constitutional principles and a useful longstop...

...Time Management Techniques – A Literature Review Kara Sterago Liberty University Dr. Wentlandt 12 December 2014 Time Management Techniques – A Literature Review Abstract The purpose of this literature review is to review various documented methodologies to approaching time management. Approaches to time management are reviewed from both a student and a professional (business) setting. This review finds that behaviors surrounding time management have a demonstrated relation to a student or professional’s perception of their ability to control their environment. This includes available time, response to stress in their environment, and level of performance. 1. Introduction One thing that can be heard ringing through any office building, college library or study hall, and many other professional settings is complaint. Complaint that there are not enough hours in the day, days in the week, weeks in the month, etc. How can we be expected to get all this done? All of these complaints lead to the discussion of managing one’s time. In order to manage your time, one must know what time management is. With a quick Google search, or a trip to the self-help section of the book store, you can find an abundance of resources ready at your fingertips, offering you various “must-have” guides to your time management success. One thing you will not find, however, is a consistent definition of time management. So what is time management? Time management is a concept that has...

...Identity based views of the corporation Insights from corporate identity, organisational identity, social identity, visual identity, corporate brand identity and corporate image Abstract Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to consider advances in corporate identity scholarship on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the first special edition of corporate identity to appear in the European Journal of Marketing in 1997. Design/methodology/approach – The paper takes the form of a literature review. Findings – The notion of, what can be termed, “identity-based views of the corporation” is introduced. Each of the ten identity based perspectives that inform the above are underpinned by a critically important question which is believed to be of considerable saliency to marketing scholars and policy advisors alike. As a precursor to an exposition of these ten perspectives, the paper discusses five principal schools of thought relating to identity and identification ((the quindrivium) which can be characterised as: corporate identity (the identity of the organisation); communicated corporate identification (identification from the organisation); stakeholder corporate identification (an individual, or stakeholder group’s, identification with the organisation); stakeholder cultural identification (an individual, or stakeholder group’s, identification to a corporate culture); and envisioned identities and identifications (this is a broad category and relates to how an organisation, or group...
