...Thanksgiving (According to the Turkey) I am a turkey who lives at a farm with other turkeys. But Thanksgiving is right around the corner. Then I remembered what happened last year on this day. On Thanksgiving, the farmer came in and chose one of us and took him away. After a few hours, I heard the farmer speaking to his wife saying, “That sure was one yummy turkey.” I knew that this means that the turkey the farmer chose will become food to the humans. Some of you might be wondering, how many turkeys are killed for your satisfaction. But first, how about I tell you about my life as a turkey. Every year, especially around Thanksgiving day, the farmers feed us a lot of food. Apparently, the farmers give us only corn and soybeans. I don’t know why they give us these. The farmers also give us these vitamins or minerals for no apparent reason. I guess that the farmer just wants us all to be a healthy turkey before they choose one of us. But I hear that in the wild, turkeys are free and can do whatever. Unlike...

...[pic] Dear Educator, Thank you for your interest in the change, growth and empowerment of Native Youth Education. This curriculum was developed specifically for educators in the state of Maine’s public high schools who wish to use this guide as a tool to improve Native Youth Education. NEG (Native Education Guide) provides lesson ideas and examples that support current lesson structures as well as implementing a culturally appropriate material for the Native Student. While many Native Education curriculums exist, NEG is designed to adapt to the block scheduling of the Public High School in Maine. This curriculum recognizes the appropriate education material needed for its intended audience, which focuses on the tribes of Maine whose youth attend Public High School. NEG aims to provide its learners with a set of educational experiences that encourages empowerment and positive Native identity through community education. Native Education is the study of the human, tribal, environmental, historical and social experience of the Natives of Maine. Native Education is very complex with a lot of variables such as time, space, place and the students; NEG therefore focuses on a number of messages: - Community Building - Seventh Generation Sustainability, Economics and Ecology - School Education Policies and Institutions (Boarding Schools to Current Education Models) - Colonization and the “White Expansion” - Cultural Appropriation - Native Ritual, Ceremonies...

...Marketing Name: Course: Instructor: Institution: Date of Submission: Description of the Advertisement [pic] (Olson, 2007) This advertisement shows a gifting and holiday mood to its target market. This observation is evident with the use of particular elements in the photo such as the ribbons, the iPhone, and the overall design of the poster. The title “Rogers Wireless Happier Holidays are Just around the Corner”, portrays that the holiday season is fast approaching. Second, the creator of this advertisement used axial balance, whereby the visual elements of this advertisement have been separated by an imaginary horizontal line. The bow is placed horizontally at the center of the picture, then the title and caption of the ad are on the upper half. Meanwhile, the price and a picture of the iPhone can be seen at the lower half. There is also a larger picture of an iPhone which stands at the left side of the poster, the said iPhone is has a red ribbon wrapped around it which signifies that it is a present awaiting everyone (Berger, 1995). There is a relationship between the pictorial elements and the written material. The word “iPhone” is depicted by the iPhone picture at the bottom of the advertisement, and the larger iPhone picture on the left of the advertisement. The words “happier holidays” are represented by the large, red bow that runs in the middle of the poster. The red bow implies that...

...before taking pen in hand. John C. Calhoun, vice president under Andrew Jackson, insisted he had to plow his fields before he could write, and Joseph Conrad, author of Lord Jim and other novels, is said to have cried on occasion from the sheer dread of sitting down to compose his stories. To spare you as much hand-wringing as possible, this chapter presents some practical suggestions on how to begin writing your short essay. Although all writers must find the methods that work best for them, you may find some of the following ideas helpful. But no matter how you actually begin putting words on paper, it is absolutely essential to maintain two basic ideas concerning your writing task. Before you write a single sentence, you should always remind yourself that 1. You have some valuable ideas to tell your reader, and 2. More than anything, you want to communicate those ideas to your reader. These reminders may seem obvious to you, but without a solid commitment to your own opinions as well as to your reader, your prose will be lifeless and boring. If you don’t care about your subject, you can’t very well expect anyone else to. Have confidence that your ideas are worthwhile and that your reader genuinely...

...Abstract In 2003 the Government’s recommendations for the introduction of solid food to babies changed from four months to six months. Many parents continue to introduce solid food earlier than six months despite being aware of the recommendations. Delivering key messages about weaning has always been a part of the health visitors role. However, no formal, evidence based weaning intervention is currently being promoted to health visitors and advice continues to be communicated at the discretion of individual practitioners. Very little research exists on this topic, much emphasis has been placed on encouraging breast feeding as the main focus infant nutrition literature. Yet childhood obesity is on the rise and establishing healthy eating habits as a baby could pave the way for healthy eating habits later in life. This paper looks at the ways professionals communicate general messages about weaning and attempts to provide some clarity and guidance for health visitors about a humanistic intervention to educate parents about the benefits of waiting till six months, rather than using ‘scare tactics’ as to what could happen if they wean earlier. It is hoped that not only will this paper provide guidance about best practice, it will also highlight the importance of the subject and the pressing need for urgent research on the specific topic of delivering weaning advice.

...GRE Analytical Writing ISSUE Essay Topic - 1 "Important truths begin as outrageous, or at least uncomfortable, attacks upon the accepted wisdom of the time." GRE AWA Analytical Writing ISSUE Essay Sample Solution – 1 “The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement. But the opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth.” ― Niels Bohr[->0] This is a proven fact that truth is the initial stage of progress. However, it is also believed that truth always starts away from the traditions and conventions. Therefore, people consider truths as attacks upon their beliefs, which people are following from ages. Truth also means some new facts that are unknown to us. People do not want to deviate from the facts, which they have learnt from their ancestors, and it is true to say that shedding ones dogmas is often difficult. They feel that it is an attack on their wisdom. If we look at the history of the world, we will find many examples where truth has generated commotions in the society. Different people have different views about the existence of God, life after death and origin of earth etc. For example, people took a long time to accept that the earth is round. Religious leaders and clergymen opposed this idea as it was against what they were teaching. Similarly, when Polish astronomer, Copernicus discovered that the earth goes round the sun and not vice versa, he was opposed by churches for many years. In fact he and his supporters were...
