...Jade Macias English 1 09/16/13 Enjoying and having fun in life is important for the soul to be happy. There’s craziness everywhere you visit, but when you put yourself into a show where you need to have an open mind, to understand, fun and get the full experience, you must go in with an open mind. My first metal show took place on a cool breeze evening traffic on the sunset strip was like any other day. I found myself and others in the car rushing to get to the venue. The sun was setting in the horizon, and the evening was getting fill with excitement. The summer breeze became still and the sky was a pale blue, lots of cars where passing through the sunset boulevard. I had gone to the liquor store nearby to purchase a small bottle of whiskey, to ease the nerves a little. We had stop by one of the buildings to sit down and talk and drink. When I got to the line to wait to enter the whisky a-go-go, as the band was passing by, they videotape us so that we could be on their media network. Alex introduced me to his friends and was told by him that we all stay within the group and look after one another. My attire consisted of high top tennis shoes, band shirts, and skinny black jeans, lose curly hair, the longer the better. Everyone is either wearing the same attire; some have leather jackets, boots, or flannels shirts wrap around the waist. I personally felt self-conscious of how I looked and if I was going to be accepted by the crowd. All you have to do is know the history...

...variants[edit] The difficulty in defining the rules of Go has led to the creation of many subtly different rulesets. They vary in areas like scoring method, ko, suicide, handicap placement, and how neutral points are dealt with at the end. These differences are usually small enough to maintain the character and strategy of the game, and are typically not considered variants. Different rulesets are explained in Rules of Go. In some of the examples below, the effects of rule differences on actual play are minor, but the tactical consequences are substantial. Tibetan Go[edit] The starting position for Tibetan Go Tibetan Go is played on a 17×17 board, and starts with six stones (called Bo) from each color placed on the third line as shown. White makes the first move.[1] There is a unique ko rule: a stone may not be played at an intersection where the opponent has just removed a stone. This ko rule is so different from other major rulesets that it alone significantly changes the character of the game. For instance, snapbacks must be delayed by at least one move, allowing an opponent the chance to create life. Finally, a player who occupies or surrounds all four corner points (the 1-1 points) receives a bonus of 40 points, and if he controls the center point also, he receives a further bonus of 10 points. Sunjang Baduk[edit] Main article: Sunjang baduk The starting position for Sunjang Baduk Sunjang baduk is a different form of Go (baduk) that evolved in Korea. It has been played...

...FAIRNESS IS GOOD MANAGEMENT Fairness is just good management. We already know that if you want to be a good manager you have to be fair to all. But what does that mean? And how can you be fair more often to more people? What Does Fairness Mean? It is part of the quirkiness of the English language that fair means according to the relative merits of each or consistent with rules and logic. However, it also means moderately good or satisfactory. So a fair manager can mean either one who treats others fairly or one who is only moderately good as a manager. Our goal is the first meaning. Why Is Fairness Good Management? When asked, a group of almost 2200 people reported fairness as the most important trait of a boss for who whom they would want to work. When you treat your employees fairly they spend less time worrying about who else is getting an unfair share. They don't spend a lot of time looking for ways to increase their own share. They spend less time looking for another job. And they spend more time working for you and getting more done. When you treat others fairly two things happen. Your own employees notice and respect you for it. It reinforces their belief that you are treating them fairly and will continue to do so. Second, the other people who you treat fairly will respond in kind. You will get better cooperation from them. That makes your job and the job of your employees easier too. How To Be A Fair Manager A good manager is one who treats everyone fairly...

...Analyze the motivational factors that promote cheating in NASCAR I believe that the largest motivational factor of any NASCAR team owner, crew member, or driver is that of winning. Each team represents not only a number on the side of a car but the entire organization, the sponsors, the driver, the crew chief, their crew and their families. NASCAR is big into the family values and your team is your family; you never let your family down. To win a race at any track is to bring honor to your team, revenue to your sponsors, and notoriety to your name. To win for oneself may not be enough motivation to cause a driver to cheat; however, most often times the driver is not the one that sets up the car, which is the crew and crew chief’s duty. Drivers can aide in the facilitation of cheating by requesting that their car be tweaked to their liking, how this is done however is the crew’s job. To win for a cause or for a team gives more pressure to win because there are other people counting on your success. Other motivational factors that promote cheating within NASCAR are that everyone knows everyone cheats. Each and every team in the NASCAR garage has tried and tested the very vague rules of the governing body, sometimes they get caught and others they don’t. To the teams it is worth a chance to try and get away with a tweak that may not be entirely within the rule book and get that little bit of an edge than to finish last on race day. The more lenient the attitude is towards...

...The analysis of the story: From W.S. by L.P. Hartley Leslie Poles Hartley (1895—1972), the son of a solicitor, was educated at Harrow and Balliol College, Oxford and for more than twenty years from 1932 was a fiction reviewer for such periodicals as the Spectator, Sketch, Observer and Time and Tide. He published his first book, a collection of short stories entitled "Night Fears" in 1924. His novel "Eustace and Hilda" (1947) was recognized immediately as a major contribution to English fiction; "The Go-Between" (1953) and "The Hireling" (1957) were later made into internationally successful films. In 1967 he published "The Novelist's Responsibility", a collection of critical essays. L.P. Hartley was a highly skilled narrator and all his tales are admirably told. "W.S." comes from "The Complete Short Stories of L.P. Hartley" published posthumously in 1973. At the beginning of the story the author introduces the main character of it who is Walter Streeter. The first postcard he receives is from Forfar and is anonymous. Usually he answers to the letters but this one didn’t have any address so Walter was relieved that he doesn’t need to answer to it. The photograph of Forfar was uninteresting and he tore it up. About ten days later, Walter receives another postcard, but this time it was from Berwick –on –Tweed. After reading the second letter Walter began to wonder if the sender was a woman or a man. After some time he dismissed the stirrings of curiosity that...

Starting with the nerves you may feel “The Nerves sit ceremonious, like Tombs,” explaining how nervous and anxious feelings can arise from pain. She says “The stiff Heart questions,” which can be relatable to how deep, sincere pain can make your heart feel stiff, and sad, and all the many questions you may ask yourself after losing someone close to you. She says “This is the Hour of Lead – Remembered, if outlived, As a freezing persons, recollect the Snow-“ touching base with the fact that no matter what, you will always remember this feeling of pain, like a person stuck in the snow will always remember the snow. Next she says “First – chill- then Stupor- then the letting go” , describing, basically, the whole process of losing someone you love. First you feel cold, stiff hearted, hurt, and next you go into a slump of stupor or sadness, and then there comes the part where you have to let go of that person and come to peace with your...

...Reflection on article Cheating and NASCAR The size of the organization presents a challenging ethical dilemma because of the vast reach the organization has within society, commercial/retail industries, and the media. The case states that NASCAR’s “television ratings are second only to football, has 75 million fans, and over $2 billion in licensed products” (Baucus, Norton, Davis-Sramek, Meek; 2008, p.379). An organization that large should exercise due diligence regarding ethical practices, but NASCAR is quite the contrary. The two arguments within the article pose critical questions that are the crux of the industry’s success. If NASCAR opted to align its behavior with more ethical standards their biggest stakeholders, fans and sponsors, would be negatively impacted. The sponsors would not sustain their investment if the return diminished because the number of fans attending the races and purchasing licensed retail items declined. Likewise, if the number and amount of sponsorships declined, the races would become less exciting and much less glamorous. This catch-22 would then deter the attention of the broadcasting media who would refocus on other sporting events. With all that said, we have yet to consider the impact on the many geographical racing communities that a decline in the industry would cause. Across the country, the many towns hosting businesses that make their living off the NASCAR industry would be forced to close or redirect their business focus...

...PROBLEM PREVENTION PLAN Introduction Rules and procedures for the classroom, regardless of the level, are imperative and will be used accordingly in order for a classroom to be effectively managed. The most effect approach to classroom management is effective instruction (Evertson & Pool, 2008). Starting the school year with rules and procedures will set a standard that will set a tone for the remaining school year. This customized plan will focus on a first grade classroom. Rules and Procedures Since students do not share the same knowledge or behavioral characteristics, the classroom will support the diverse learner in many ways. Van Brummel suggests, “To create an optimal learning situation, indicate your expectations clearly.” One of these supports will be classroom rules. These rules will be for the entire classroom, which will be set at the beginning of the school year. The rules will be simple and easy to understand for young students. The rules are as follows: 1. Respect everyone in the class. 2. Follow directions. 3. Be polite. 4. Raise your hand. Respecting everyone in the class is rule that is to include many aspects of classroom activity. This rule can include offensives such as interrupting and disruptive behavior. A classroom has to behave in a way which depicts Christian character. Students are also expected to follow directions, but it is an important class rule, because they need to be able to be ready and have the...

...Week 1 Discussion The Nature of Argument After reading the "Preface," "Introduction," and Chapter 1 in your course text, The Rulebook for Arguments, consider the nature and purpose of argument. Consider the different forms that arguments can take. As you prepare for this Discussion, be sure to focus on rules one through seven presented in Chapter 1. With these thoughts in mind: * Select two of the rules that either you or one of your associates have broken in the past. * Illustrate an example of an incorrect and a correct use of each of these two rules. * Discuss why the rules are important in formulating strong arguments. One of the rules that I have recently broken myself was in my last course. For an assignment I used language and words to further emphasis the point of my paper. Now, after reading thru the 7 rules to consider when posing an argument I now understand that use of loaded language is not an effective way to back any of my premises. After thinking about this further, breaking this rule only allowed me to present my paper in a opinioned manner which clearly is going to take away from the validity of the points/issue being addressed. A second rule that is overly annoying to me in real-life, is when a member of senior management does not use definite, specific, or concrete language. Reading that this is one of the general rules in posing an argument this rule really hit home for me. From my experience, I often find that when I asks questions...

...start of adolescence. Adolescence is considered to be the transitional stage from childhood to adulthood. During this period, teens begin to undergo a series of psychological and physiological changes which usually occurs between the ages of twelve through nineteen. This can be a time of both discovery and confusion. During this stage, issues regarding self-identity and independence will surface. Many adolescents are faced with difficult choices involving drugs, alcohol, schoolwork, sexuality, their social life and relationship with their parents. Peer groups, romantic interests and external appearance tend to increase in importance for some time during a teen's journey toward adulthood. Some of the issues an adolescent may go through are evident in the novel “Go Ask Alice” by Anonymous. It provides us with insight into the mind of a teen that is struggling with internal and external turmoil which leads her astray into a path of drug abuse. A fifteen year old girl who remains unnamed (title of the novel refers to her as Alice) starts a diary in which she records her experiences and life events as an adolescent. Alice is a gifted writer who writes in an observant and sensitive style. She confides in her diary revealing to it her deepest thoughts. Like many other adolescents, she worries about her appearance, relationships, school, and social life. Alice often feels as if she is on the outside looking in. She sees herself as an outsider in her school and family. This is attributed...
