These types of pollutants are considered nonpoint source pollution because the exact point where the pollutant originated cannot be identified. Such pollutants remain a major issue for water ways because the difficulty to control their sources hinders...

...Bradelie ST Phar Enc 101 Mickey Mouse: mere Rabbit to Beloved Multi-million mouse. A century ago who would have believed a miniscule, rodent creature would be the icon of not just a multi-billion dollar company but also a symbol of innocence, youth, and, happiness. The icon of such is none other than Mickey Mouse, a character that has hundreds of different meanings to millions of different people. But the Mickey the public knows today is not the same cartoon mouse that audiences knew when he made his first public appearance in 1928. Mickey wasn’t always Walt Disney first prized creation, there first was an animated creature known as Oswald the Lucky Rabbit; A happy, upbeat fellow who often found himself in sticky situations. During his time under Disney Oswald was on of the first to show personality and humility through physical humor and frustration comedy. Sadly Oswald’s rambunctious personality soon came to an end when Walt Disney realized despite being the man behind the character, he actually didn’t own the rights to the animated rabbit, as he was property of the Universal Pictures. Eventually, Walt Disney broke his ties with Universal, left his staff behind and ventured onto new hopes. Mickey Mouse was born in Walt Disney's imagination early in 1928 on a train ride from New York to Los Angeles. Walt then decided to make the character modeled after the mouse he grew so fond of and this time that no one would be able to take away. Contrary to popular belief...

...Marriage? I have not even thought about the concept, and here I am being told that I am supposed to meet my future husband in a mere couple of hours? What is a young girl to think? Could he be my true love, or can others not accommodate true love that is not there own? This has been brought to me so suddenly. Is there someone else out there, someone who I will truly love? Why has such conflict come upon me? Should I agree to marry him, or wait for someone who may never come? Now it seems almost inevitable that I will be engaged to Paris, an arrangement of love, and one that I may not agree with. But there is nothing I can do, I would never dream of defying what parents think is best for me, and for another boy that may never come. For now, I feel my love has been assigned to Paris. I must go to the party, where I am to meet my supposed true love and dance the night away. (After the party) Tonight I have found true love. Not arranged or forced, but love at first sight. Romeo. I name I will remember forever. He was so perfect. But, like any other good match, it will never work. For he is a Montague and I am a Capulet. Two extreme differences, ones so extreme, we may never be together unless our love is secret. Yet another conflict brought about into my life. My love has been given to a Montague, because of this our love for each other may never be accepted. There are now two men, one who I love truly, and one who I should rightfully love. Should I defy my parents, go behind...

...just one month old.” The report goes on to say, “Prosecutors said one girl was just 2 years old when the abuse started in October 2002. The other girl was less than 8 months old. The sexual abuse of the boy allegedly began in December 2002, when he was just one month old.” According to The Idaho Statesman Newspaper in Boise, Idaho, “The parents are being charged with four counts of felonies. The first three include the connection with the allegations of sexual abuse by the boys, and the fourth charge addresses allowing a child to walk on dirty floors, in which resulted in infected cuts on the child’s feet.” This sounds more like a child neglect case rather than a connection of a child molestation case. I am not defending the couple in any way, but I feel there is no proof of them knowing about such acts going on between their children. Therefore, it will be hard to prosecute the couple on the molestation charges unless there is some type of evidence that is not being presented or considered until the trail. There was a young boy in Florida several years ago who was charged with the murder of his 6-year old cousin. He accidentally killed the young girl while rehearsing a wrestling move that he had seen on television. The young man was 13 at the time of the...

...FACTORS AFFECTING THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF FIRST YEAR STUDENTS IN PURPOSIVE COMMUNICATION OF QUEZON CITY POLYTECHNIC UNIVERSITY S.Y. 2015-2016 Chapter 1 The Problem and its Background Introduction Purposive Communication is built upon the firm foundation of logic and orderly reasoning. Purposive Communication learning progresses smoothly, step by step, from the simplest processes to the most complicated and advanced applications, each step along the way resting upon those topics which have been taken before. It is axiomatic that the understanding of the present and future lessons depends greatly on the kind of understanding of the present lesson. Within this context, Purposive Communication learning is basically like a language; if it is not learned properly from the beginning, it may become too difficult and abstract later to grasp and understand. In the study of Purposive Communication, the first topic of the study can be exceedingly important in the development of the student under an instructor. As such, concepts should be taught by the instructor and learned properly by the student with the aid of detailed explanations. This should include every available and relevant learning aid to condition the minds of the students into understanding the lesson well. Towards later part of the discussions examples are given applying the same concepts the theories to enable the students to relate their understanding of the lesson to the given examples as encountered...

...Burnett September 27, 2010 English B/D “Am I doing all I need to do? Am I being the person I want to be?” I have been having a hard time for a while now, fir many months I felt like I lost my purpose in life. Not being able to achieve my goals of becoming a United States Navy SEAL, I was in distraught, I had no direction anymore, lost is where I was. My GPS was taken from me, I could not find my way, for a while to believe that I was going to be a firefighter, or go into the Coast Guard. Those careers where just fumes, my determination could blow away with them easily, they give me peace. I no desire for any other career what so ever. Although, for months I had actually believed that it wasn’t in the cards for me to do what I had always wanted to do, that I was not destined to a US Navy SEAL. About two in a half to three weeks ago the fire inside me pretty dim, I had really felt like it burnt out for good. Then one afternoon at school during fourth block, that period is free for me, I heard from Mr. Hoffman that there is a fair going on in the library, I looked and there was nothing. Right after that college “sponsors” came around the corner, so I went in and the four branches of the US Military were already present. I saw the US Navy there, and immediately I had to check it out, I talked to both of the recruiters there and about how I wanted to be a US Navy SEAL, they were extremely interested. I also spoke about my girlfriend Jennifer Sanz to them and how...

Three Properties of Culture * Symbolic – stands/means for something * Socially constructed – created by society * Embodied in form – person, objects, visual, audio, language, nonverbal gestures 2.) Four means of understanding the “popular” aspect of popular culture * Well-liked * Measured by success usually in ratings and sales * Well-known * Recognized globally * Example: Paris Hilton * Targets a general wide audience (“mass culture”) * Commercial media that is for general consumption * Directed to the common people * Belongs to the people * Invokes a individuals tradition and roots 3.) Cool hunters are people who go around looking for the next person that is considered cool and what will be the start of a next new trend. They research the underground trends of fashion-forward youth in order to appropriate them for mass consumption. The triumphant circularity of cool hunting refers to: * No coherent philosophy of cool * Can’t manufacture cool, only observe it * Must be cool to know cool * Look for people first and cool things later 4.) 5.) The functionalist approach argues that the explanation for popular culture is our obsession with “mass entertainment” in terms of their social uses or their function in generating solidarity among individuals within large and anonymous communities. It also emphasizes how the symbols, rituals, and practices surrounding its production and consumption...

...Lily I need to do something. I need somebody’s help. This situation confuses, baffles, and even worries me. I have never seen this dog before. I quickly run to my mom to assess the situation. It feels hard to believe that eleven years flew by since the first day that I saw my little fluffy bundle of joy. My little poodle attained the name of Lily. I never imagined I would become as close to Lily as I did. One day, she casually walked into my backyard. I did not have a clue what to do, but eventually I carefully approached her. She was the most polite dog I have ever met. We played all day, and soon became best friends. But, of course we had to find her rightful owners. In a short time, we found the owners and returned her home. However, Lily never ceased to miss a day of showing up at my door. Before long, the owners offered us to keep her. Lily apparently did not want to be with these owners. Obviously we accepted this offer, and this became the happiest day of my life. On the other hand, I knew that good things come to an end, and situations do not end the way we would like. Overcoming a loss is extremely difficult, but I realized that experiencing a death has made me a stronger person and who I am today. Now eleven years have past since the day Lily became mine, and I can still remember that day like it happened yesterday. Lily was an amazing dog and I would not have traded her for anything. I loved her will all of my heart. Unfortunately, during the...
