...their ecosystems have many different relationships. The animals can have a love relationship, a love hate or a total more hate relationship. One relationship is a predator prey relationship. Another relationship animals have is that there are endangered animals. Animals are involved in many different relationships within their ecosystem. Animals that are predators eat other animals by killing them. Predators do this by spying on their prey until they feel it is time to strike (Overbeck 1). Predators that are watching their prey will sit and watch for a long time. When they finally feel that it is time to strike they get down real low. Their fur blends in with the tall grass or trees and when they get close enough the chase starts (Overbeck 1). Some predators can outrun their prey but others cannot; they have to think stealthily. They have to outsmart their prey by doing short cuts or watching for them to mess up. If they do not...

In light of this, I wish to congratulate you, the men and women in attendance today, and salute your leaders for the excellent organization.

We know that some of the would be occupants of the empty chairs have long gone okuyiga embogo, others are sick and indisposed; we pray for the health of our colleague -- and our friends. Others have not made it here because ends have failed to meet…..that is all understandable. When the organizers of this event were inviting me Ttabamiruka014, I was informed that this year’s theme was to celebrate Buganda Clan Leaders for their selfless role in upholding the unity of Buagnda. The idea that over fifty Clan Leaders had been invited and that they were indeed going to attend thrilled me.

...American sniper is about a decorated sniper who had achieved the highest kill rate in us history to date. I’m going to discus the differences between the book and movie. In the movie it showed him shooting an enemy sniper for his longest shot of more than 2,000 yards, but in the book it reads as he kills an enemy with a RPG at that range. The book discusses more about the internal conflict of him being gone all the time. This time apart put also talks about him growing up in a religious family and how in the book and the movie how he protected his brother at school from bullies. The book tell more off how they met and there relationship was before they got married. In the movie Kyle shot a sniper more than a mile away from his position...

...suggestions being made as to how the Hickory Huskers should be coached. When the new coach Norman Dale seems to brush the opinions of the townspeople away, they become hostile and agitated with him. George Walker, who is the obvious leader of the concerned townspeople, decides that he will step in and become the assistant coach. When George is denied the role of assistant coach, there is immediate hostility. George rallies fellow parents and townspeople to observe practices and gets them riled up about the new coaching techniques Coach Dale uses. When Coach Dale decides to recruit the town drunk as his assistant coach, George convinces the people to go as far as taking a vote to get Coach Dale removed from his position. The anger and frustration from one person ended up radiating throughout an entire town, and although some people may have never acted on their feelings, the actions of one man caused the Ripple Effect of actions through many. The Ripple Effect doesn’t always lead to a negative outcome. At the town meeting to have the coach voted out of his position, Myra Fleener, who is a fellow teacher at Hickory High, stands before the people and tells them that she believes that Coach Dale deserves to stay. With Myra being the caretaker of Jimmy Chitwood, the boy who was the star player, some of the townspeople start to rethink their voting decisions.

..."To kill a mockingbird is to destroy innocence". In Harper Lee's novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, Scout narrates the story in first person point of view. The novel shows how growing up in times of depression, racism, and poverty can change an individual or even a society. The story takes places in Maycomb County. The time is set in the early 1930s where poverty and racism plays a major roll in the United States. The tone of the story is very serious and shows the reader a piece of reality. The mood is very sympathetic but the reader may also feel humor from Dill, Scout, and Jim, three of the main characters. The setting plays a major roll in the plot because the racism during that time contributes to the conflicting opinions of...

...The first stage of Tuckman’s model in the film occurs when the black athletes are in the gymnasium ready to meet Coach Herman Boone (11:00). In this interaction the athletes have come together for the first time, they are unsure of their roles on the team, they are unsure of what to expect from each other, and they are unsure of what to expect from their new coach, Herman Boone. The newly formed group’s tentative attitude about roles is shown when Boone questions Thomas “Petey” Jones about whether or not he likes football (11:20). The uncertainty of roles is also shown when the old head football coach William Yoast disrupts Boone’s meeting with the black athletes by entering in with the white players (13:25). Coach Yoast does not know how this confrontation between him and Coach Boone will play out. The white players in this scene are equally unsure as they come into gym. The end of this phase occurs when the team is shown walking into Gettysburg College for camp (18:10). In this scene the team is shown walking as a group. This is the first time we see them grouped whites and blacks together as a team, which signifies they have finished the forming stage and can now move on to the storming stage. The team in this phase would be classified as development level 2 (D2) with respect to the SLMII. They have low to some...

...Rocky Balboa: Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place, and I don’t care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard you hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now, if you know what you’re worth, then go out and get what you’re worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain’t you. You’re better than that! Al Pacino's Inch By Inch speech from Any Given Sunday I don't know what to say really. Three minutes to the biggest battle of our professional lives all comes down to today. Either we heal as a team or we are going to crumble. Inch by inch play by play till we're finished. We are in hell right now, gentlemen believe me and we can stay here and get the shit kicked out of us or we can fight our way back into the light. We can climb out of hell. One inch, at a time.

...Deciding whether to stay and possibly die or leave and have many others die is one of the hardest choices you will experience if you are put in a situations like this. The first two years of the American revolution did not go so well. People were dying and getting sick and you never knew if you were next. There were 12 men ,including yourself, that would be crowded into one hut. I have decided to not re-enlist for the three reasons which are trust, family, and valley forge’s conditions. These reasons are only few of the many that are making me want to leave once the 9 months are over. Washington decided to build valley forge for the soldiers to stay and rest. The village was not big enough to be called a village but Washington still decided to call it valley forge. General Washington also marched his army into the capital. There was a victory at Philadelphia before this all started. Valley forge is a resting camp for the soldiers 18 miles northwest of Philadelphia. Many things happened before...

...behavior. Usually I meet quite ordinary students. Some of them are interested in studying, others in fashion, music or computer games. However, I have also met students who are intriguingly different - to say the least. Recently I received the divine inspiration that there are four main types of abnormal students that are either of extraterrestrial origin or are the product of some kind of evil sorcery: The Zealot, The Casper, The Bear and The Challenger. The Zealot takes classes more seriously than he should. He believes that if he doesn’t get an “A” on every single test, he will be crucified, God himself will come down to earth to unleash the Holy Armageddon upon him and the gates of Heaven will forever stay closed for his soul. The Zealot always comes to class looking as if wild wolves have been chasing him to school. Looking like he has seen the headless horseman, he quickly makes his way to his desk and immediately opens his books and starts reading. For him every second counts when it comes to studying. During a class, the Zealot is always listening to what the professor is saying as if his life depended on it. He is on guard at all times for any question the teacher might pose to the class. Invariably, if this happens, he raises his hand in a desperate attempt not to let anyone else steal his spotlight. After that, he triumphantly announces the right answer believing he has been chosen by the heavens to enlighten the students...

...so much school was cancelled and I felt like the world was under a white blanket trying to stay warm during the winter months. There was a large field behind our house that looked so barren and empty. We thought we should liven it up. We rushed into our snow clothes like a kitten rushes to milk. After getting into our clothes we hopped what seemed to be 10 foot fence into the empty clearing. My first thought was that this was our kingdom and we were the kings, we could do whatever we wanted here. This untouched snow field was ours for the taking. My brother rushed a pile of snow into a large ball and I started a snow base. In my current state of building I hadn’t realized my brother was busy making snowballs and readying up for a brother against brother snowball fight. As constructing a base I feel a baseball sized ice shard. I quickly turned and saw my brother hiding behind the wall I built for my protection. I rapidly formed bumpy misshapen snow ammunition to retaliate. We start firing, and I end up getting smacked in the nose so hard blood gushed out like the amazon into the ocean. In the moment I pinch my nose and run for home. We get to the towering fence. My brother hopped on and climbed like a spider monkey. I latched on but my cold shivering hands could last on the giant frozen fence. I looked at my brother through the fence for help but there was no use, I knew this was my fight. I took a step back and look at this menacing fence. I cant tell where the top ends and the...

...Even though he admits to Scout that he is not going to win the case, Atticus still puts in his best effort to save Tom Robinson. When he admits this, he says to Scout “Simply because we were licked a hundred years before we started is no reason for us not to try to win” (Lee, 76). The major lesson that can be pulled from this quote supports the theme of the novel because Atticus knows he is going to lose, and yet, because it is simply the right thing to do, he tries his hardest to change the ways of Maycomb and save an innocent life. This is significant because, in an effort to be as convincing as possible in his final statement of the trial, he mentions how everyone is created equal in court. In a final attempt to convince the jury to follow his example and forget their prejudices, he says “Our courts have their faults, as does any human institution, but in this country our courts are the great levellers, and in our courts all men are created equal” (Lee, 205). With this quote, Atticus is imploring the jury to change their ways, follow his personal dogma, and not convict Tom Robinson based on the color of his skin. It is this effort that shows just how far Atticus is willing to go to implement his own beliefs into his every action while as a result, creating change and gathering a following of open-minded Maycomb...

...but people did not fight in Uther's country. Uther loved a beautiful woman, Igraine, and he wanted to marry her. But she did not love him and he was very sad about that. Merlin was a very clever man and he knew a lot of magic. He could change into an animal or bird. Sometimes, when he used magic, nobody could see him. He also helped people with his magic, and one day he came to King Uther. 'You can marry Igraine,' he said. 'I will help you. But when you have a child, you will have to give the boy to me.', I will give him to you,' said the King. He married Igraine and later they had a baby son. They called him Arthur. When Arthur was three days old, a very old man arrived at the door of the King's house. It was Merlin. King Uther took the child in his arms and gave him to Merlin. Merlin took the child away. He gave the boy, Arthur, to a good knight. His name was Sir Ector. So Arthur lived with Sir Ector and his son, Kay, and the two boys were brothers. A short time after this happened, King Uther was very ill. He did not get better. He called for Merlin because he wanted to talk about the future of his country. Merlin came and listened to the King. 'I know that I am going to die,' King Uther said. 'Who will be king after me? ' 'Call your knights and great men,' Merlin told the King. 'Tell them', 'My son, Arthur, will be the next king!' King Uther told his people this before he died. But a lot of people wanted to be king, so the knights and great men began to fight. There was no new...

...being taught tools and techniques. Analysis is just one of the ingredients in the recipe. You may have the best analysis in the room. However, if your analysis is not heard and taken seriously, it is of no value. Too often, talented people with the best answers sit in the back of the room while hacks run the show. If you enjoy the view from the back, getting an MBA will not change anything. A MBA degree only works if you are willing to transform yourself. Are you? 2 Einstein would have been a terrible manager. There is a huge misconception among students that being smart is the way to be successful. Let me break this to you. It is not about being smart. There are many smart people who are absolutely incompetent managers. Not to mention the fact that many smart people are first-rate jerks. Don’t get me wrong. I am not saying you have to be dumb to succeed. What I am saying is that you do not have to be a Mensan to make it to the top. All you need is average intelligence. But, you need other qualities. 3 Bill Clinton would have been an excellent manager. The man had his faults. But, he could communicate like few others. Bad managers are, frequently, terrible communicators. They have good ideas. They simply don’t know how to get them across. You cannot lead, motivate or sell if you cannot communicate. If there is one thing you want to do when you are in school, learn to communicate. 4 Don’t Lose Touch With What is Right. Do not use analysis to justify what you know to be wrong...
