...Stevens Institute of Technology) and Molski, in their essay entitled The Lost Art of Writing,[12][13] are critical of the terms, predicting reduced chances of employment for students who use such slang, stating that, "Unfortunately for these students, their bosses will not be 'lol' when they read a report that lacks proper punctuation and grammar, has numerous misspellings, various made-up words, and silly acronyms." Fondiller and Nerone[14] in their style manual assert that "professional or business communication should never be careless or poorly constructed" whether one is writing an electronic mail message or an article for publication, and warn against the use of smileys and these abbreviations, stating that they are "no more than e-mail slang and have no place in business communication". Yunker and Barry[15] in a study of online courses and how they can be improved through podcasting have found that these slang terms, and emoticons as well, are "often misunderstood" by students and are "difficult to decipher" unless their meanings are explained in advance. They single out the example of "ROFL" as not obviously being the abbreviation of "rolling on the floor laughing" (emphasis added). Haig[1] singles out LOL as one of the three most popular initialisms in Internet slang, alongside BFN ("bye for now") and IMHO ("in my honest/humble opinion"). He describes the various initialisms of Internet slang as convenient, but warns that "as ever more obscure acronyms emerge they can also...

...Reaction Paper Extraordinary Measures A Portland couple have two younger children that are afflicted with Pompe’s disease, a rare neuromuscular ailment that is usually fatal within the first eight years of life. Megan is the partner’s 8-year-old middle child and Patrick is the 6-year-old youngest, so time is running out of them. The husband, an advertising executive, leaves his job and contacts Dr. Robert Stonehill, a cranky, renegade scientist in Nebraska who has done an unprecedented research for enzyme treatment and is one of the leading researcher in the field of Pompe’s who’s idiosyncratic for thinking to the beat of rock music blasting from a boom box. The two men meet and clash after driving to the University of Nebraska where Stonehill is employed. He has little money to fund his laboratory, and a thorny personality that drives away colleagues and funders. John and his wife Aileen raise money to help Stonehill's research and the required clinical trials. John takes on the task full time, working with venture capitalists and then rival teams of researchers. They lock horns with each other, venture capitalists, and finally a large genomic research corporation, Zymagen. Stonehill's angry outburst hinder the company's faith in him, and the profit motive may upend John's hopes. The researchers race against time for the children who have the disease. The film is maudlin to say the least but earnestly true. The very first thing I’ve learned in the movie is that you...

...Twitter. Social media’s been responsible for a lot of new words, for example tweeps, twitterverse and retweet. The word “friend” has become a verb, as in “she friended me on Facebook”. The term “check-in” no longer applies just to hotels and airports; these days it’s just as commonly used when someone reports where they are via a social network. Technology has also changed the way we write. Mobile phones have been responsible for a lot of the change, as users have moved towards texting as an everyday form of communication. For a start, WRITING IN UPPER CASE MEANS YOU’RE SHOUTING, while lower case writing is now the accepted form. Meanwhile, text language is full of abbreviations, missing vowels and acronyms. For example, the abbreviations LOL, OMG and gr8 are all widely used today but hadn’t been invented a few years ago. One of the drivers in this is that screen sizes and character limits are low, meaning that users need to abbreviate to fit their messages in. My Knowledge: ‘Emojis’ which are small digital images and ‘emoticons’ which are representation of a facial expression such as a smile or frown, formed by various combinations of keyboard characters are also now used because of technology. Their main purpose is to show how someone is feeling and their emotions rather than a person typing out how they are actually feeling. Technology has also enabled new words to be created such as ‘selfie’ ‘twerk’ ect. Without technology, there would be no way in which everyone would...

...Due Date: April 22, 2013 Don’t Judge A Book By It’s Cover I was the one to walk in first to do this project, to see the people’s faces turning my direction in an unpleasant way. The store that I walked into was called “Dress Town” at the Eagle Rock Mall on Sunday, March 10, 2013 in the afternoon. As walking into the mall and into the store, we three girls had to put ourselves into a mind of a sociologist; and how they would “judge the book by its cover.” But realistically the shocking part is that they don’t, instead they use their sociological imagination to broaden their thinking mentality, to find other ways to live. Who ever said that there only is one certain way to live and that is the correct way? I realized that as Meghedi, Ani and I were walking the normal or decent looking shoppers were keeping a good amount of distance, more than usual. Also, the shoppers that had children with them, they were pulling their children towards them in a noticeable way while staring at us. As I walked into the store, being extremely nervous because I was the first one to do this project; completely nervous, not knowing what was to come before me, there were four sales associates. One of the associates stood by the door and greeted each customer as they walked in. When I walked in that girl greeted me but not the same way that she greeted the other customers. Her greeting them was a lot sincerer compared to the way she greeted me. Everyone seemed to be staring at me but when...

...5 tips to Succeed at an interview Wear conservative clothing. When going for an interview, it is much better to be overdressed rather than under dressed. Regardless of the job position, you must be dressed in a highly professional manner. For both men and women, it is a good idea to wear a colour that is moderate and not too flamboyant. For example: A black pencil skirt and white long sleeve blouse void of any patterns. Ensure that you err on the side of being conservative when it comes to jewelery, makeup and cologne as well.Make a good first impression with interactive body language. Body language is just as important as your verbal words in an interview setting. Some different forms of body language include: Give a firm handshake Sit up straight, not slouched in tension Make eye contact, so that you seem alert and confident Answer questions directly and loud enough for the interviewer to hear The interviewer will form an impression within the first few minutes of speaking to a candidate, therefore it is important to give a firm handshake, have good posture, maintain eye contact, and answer questions directly when being asked to make a great first impression. Prepare for your interview well in advance. Preparing for an interview in advance will increase a candidates chances of being chosen for the position. Research the company where you are being interviewed. Knowing about the job will help you prepare a list of qualifications so that you can...

...Hindrance to Effective Communication New technology such as smart phones should be a great asset and a powerful aid to helping us work more efficiently. We can respond to urgent emails on the go, refer to useful websites and look up quick facts. However, these gadgets, as well helping us, can also prove to be a hindrance providing information overload and constant interruptions. We receive so many emails and are exposed to so much information that it can be hard to distil what is actually important and what isn’t. We fill our brains with clutter and lose the ability to focus on our priorities and spend our time responding to trivial emails. We think we are multi-tasking but actually we are becoming less productive. We read each email but don’t always process the information we need. As a result, we risk irritating the sender by asking them to remind us what they said or to send the email again. More worryingly, we allow ourselves to be distracted from more important tasks by the seeming urgency of each email that comes in. This information overload doesn’t only impact the way we process information ourselves but can also have a negative impact on the way others perceive us. It is all too easy to give the impression that you are not listening to the other person. It can be quite obvious even on the telephone that you are distracted by your inbox rather than giving the speaker your full attention. In a face-to-face meeting, of course, it is...

Рост числа сокращений, находящих применение в современном английском языке, совершенно закономерен. Следствием развития науки и техники, международных интеграционных процессов в области экономики и народного хозяйства является появление все новых и новых понятий, которые нуждаются в терминировании. Большинство новых понятий и в русском, и в английском языках выражается при помощи словосочетаний или сложных слов, так как именно эти виды терминов дают возможность отразить необходимые и достаточные признаки того или иного понятия с наибольшей полнотой и точностью. Но термины - сложные слова и словосочетания - громоздки. Поэтому и появляется...

This is a statutory class—Before reading each section in the textbook, read the code to get a flavor of what it contains. b. Also, read the regulations to get a flavor of what it contains. c. Then, go back and read the code and the regulations after being taught. 2. In tax, everything is income—Then you exclude some thing to get an adjusted income—Then you take deductions to figure out taxable income. II. Identification of Income Subject to Taxation: A. Gross Income: The Scope of Section 61: 1. We need a definition of income because of due process concerns—We need a law that everybody recognizes. 2. WHAT IS INCOME? a. §61 defines gross income as “all income from whatever source derived.” 1) §61 lists 15 specific items that are considered income. b. Cesarini v. United States: The Cesarinis found $4,467 in cash in a used piano purchased by them. 1) The court held that the found money is taxable as ordinary income in the year in which the taxpayer attains uncontested possession of it. 2) INCOME: Treasure Trove: It is considered income in the year that it is reduced to undisputed possession. ...
