...For the love of horses A horse. A rider. A bond that can’t be broken. That’s all it takes. The trust you have to put in your horse to carry you safely around, over, threw obstacles; you trust them with your life. They trust you to guide them and take care of them. Some people don’t think that riding horses isnt a sport. They have to lift weights, I have to lift hay bales /water buckets/ grain bags/ tack trunks. They have to run two miles, I have to do posting trot of 5. They go to state, I go to championships/circuit/trials. There are many reasons that horse riding is a sport but it's ignored. It’s not just a sport/hobby you're dealing with, but it's a friend. A friend that is always there for you. A friend that won’t tell all your secrets. My horse rodney is the best thing to ever happen to me. He’s always been there for me when I need a shoulder (more like mane) to cry on. He’s taught me more about myself than anyone else. Rodeny’s helped me realize that I don’t need a bunch of big things in life, that I need to appreciate the little things....

...Think about horses in horse shows aren’t they beautiful: those horses go through many hours of grooming to look that stunning. The process of grooming a horse builds a trust between the horse and the groomer. It can also be a very relaxing process. There are multiple steps to grooming a horse.

...Gordon Adam Lindsey Gordon was born in 1833 in Fayal, Azore. He was the only son of Adam Durnford Gordon, a retired captain of the Bengal cavalry and teacher of Hindustani, and his wife Harriet Gordon- they were cousins. His family was very wealthy, because his mother had inherited 20, 000 dollars. From a young age he was interested in reckless horse riding and poetry. By 1852 his riding career had begun. A year later, his father secured him a job in South America, and he sailed in the Julia and arrived in Adelaide. He worked for some years as a mounted policeman, before striking up a renewed interest in literature. All the while he was doing horse riding, a horse-breaker and steeple-chaser. In 1862, he married Margaret Park, who had little education but was a skilled horse rider. As time went by, he began to get a lot of his writing published, beginning in 1865, with the Poem The Feud, published in The Border Watch. He also won a lot of horse riding competitions, although his reckless riding also meant his injuries were frequent. However, despite these successes, he became depressed and unstable. In 1862 he suffered a serious horse riding accident and his young daughter died, these events triggering his wife’s leaving. Soon, however, things began to look up, with great reviews on his poetry being published and his wife moved back. But then he killed himself. He has a statue of himself in the...

...Horses are known to be some of the most beautiful animals in the world. This species are used not only for work but also for pets. They are very unique in their anatomy, classification, lifestyle, and lines of evolutionary descent. But they also can relate to some other ungulates in their habitat and behavior. The anatomy and physiology of a horse is very different compared to other species of animals. Horses have ergots and chestnuts on the medial aspect of all four limbs. Ergots are located on the palmar and plantar surfaces of the fetlock joint. Ergots are thought to be the remnants of digits in the horse. Chestnuts are thought to be remnants of carpal and tarsal pads in the horse. Compared to other animals, horses have seven cervical vertebrae,...

...quantity sold over a specific time period. The gross profit margin of each menu item is compared to an average gross profit margin of all menu items and then classified as high or low. Each menu item is also classified as high or low by its popularity. A menu mix percentage for the item is established by dividing the total count of the item in the total count of all menu items. The dividing point for establishing low or high popularity is calculated by multiplying 70% by 1/n, where n equals the number of competing menu items. The profitability and popularity classifications of each menu item results in four categories. A menu item with higher than average popularity and profitability is referred to as a Star, while an item with higher than average profitability and lower than average popularity is called a Puzzle. Menu items with lower than average profitability and higher than average popularity are called Plow Horses. Finally, menu items with lower than average profitability and popularity, are considered Dogs (Schmidgall, 1997). After menu items are classified according to profitability and popularity, each menu item’s share of the total menu profit needs to be determined. This is accomplished by a two-step Profit Factor (PF) calculation (Bell, 2002). First, the average CM is determined by dividing the total menu CM by the number of menu items. The total...

...Semantic Change Shahrin Akter 1521358655 Department of English North South University Tracing the Nature of Semantic Change Introduction Language never stands still. All living languages are continually changing over the course of time due to social, cultural, environmental, historical and linguistic factors. Semantic change is one of the major phenomenon of language change. Basically, semantic change deals with the change of the original meaning of a word as well as the development of a new word which is reflected in the way the words are being used. This paper mainly puts an insight to the major causes of semantic change as well as trace the traditional classification made by various scholars. According to Varshney, “The main factors responsible for semantic change are vagueness in meaning, loss of motivation, polysemy, ambiguous contexts and the structure of the vocabulary”. (p. 284). Over the passage of time, people use words in a new context. Hence the meanings of the words are changing gradually, often to the point that the new meaning is radically different from the original usage. For instance, the word ‘awful’ originally meant ‘awe-inspiring, filling someone with deep awe’, as in the awful majesty of the Creator. At some point it becomes something ‘extremely...

...between the groups by showing the natural hierarchy of the animals. The choice to use animals instead of humans was a positive addition to the story; animals were used in their most simplistic form so the traits that they were given during the time of the holocaust could be more easily understood. An illustration demonstrates this concept by having a Jewish family hiding in a bunker inside a garbage hole. Presented as mice, they were hiding in a hole underground that was filled with garbage, showing that they were cowards and dirty creatures. There is also another illustration where they are hiding from the Nazis, who are portrayed as cats, by crawling through a tunnel, like a mouse hole, to escape into another area. This also shows their sneaky and cowardly actions. Another way in which the Jewish people’s perceived personality is brought out by the nature of the rodent is shown when Vladek and his wife Anja are hiding and are in a storage locker with rats. “There are RATS, giant rats! They’re horrible!” exclaimed Anja. (pg.148, panel 5) Anja said that they were horrible and in the Nazis’ perspective the Jews were just as horrible as rodents. Between the Nazis and the Jews there...

...language in four main reasons, Perrine (1982) First, figurative language affords readers imaginative pleasure of literary works. Second, it is a way of bringing additional imagery into verse, making the abstract concrete, making literary works more sensuous. The third, figurative is a way of adding emotional intensity to otherwise merely informative statements and conveying attitudes along with information. And the last, it is a way of saying much in brief compass. She divides figurative language into seven types, namely metaphor, simile, personification, metonymy, paradox, overstatement, understatement, irony and illusion. 2 Keraf (1998: 129) divided majas (figures of speech) into two classifications, namely majas retoris (rhetoric) and majas kiasan (analogy). The first classification covers illiteracy, assonances, anastrophe, apophasis, apostrophe, asyndeton, polycyndenton, chiasmus, ellipsis, euphemism, litotes, paradox, hyperbole and oxymoron. Meanwhile the later covers simile, metaphor, allegory, personification, allusion, metonymy, irony and synecdoche. Another Indonesian linguist, Muliono (1989) divided majas or gaya bahasa into three categories. They are majas kiasan or perumpamaan/perbandingan (analogy/comparison) which consists of simile, metaphor and personification,...

...An Overview of Computer Viruses in a Research Environment Matt Bishop Department of Mathematics and Computer Science Dartmouth College Hanover, NH 03755 ABSTRACT The threat of attack by computer viruses is in reality a very small part of a much more general threat, specifically attacks aimed at subverting computer security. This paper examines computer viruses as malicious logic in a research and development environment, relates them to various models of security and integrity, and examines current research techniques aimed at controlling the threats viruses in particular, and malicious logic in general, pose to computer systems. Finally, a brief examination of the vulnerabilities of research and development systems that malicious logic and computer viruses may exploit is undertaken. 1. Introduction A computer virus is a sequence of instructions that copies itself into other programs in such a way that executing the program also executes that sequence of instructions. Rarely has something seemingly so esoteric captured the imagination of so many people; magazines from Business Week to the New England Journal of Medicine [39][48][60][72][135], books [20][22][31][40][50][67][83][90][108][124], and newspaper articles [85][91][92][94][114][128] have discussed viruses, applying the name to various types of malicious programs. As a result, the term “computer virus” is often misunderstood. Worse, many who do understand it do not understand protection in computer systems, for example...
