...“Farm Girl” Michelle Brown Van Hooks ENG 115 May 16, 2013 In reading the essay “Farm Girl” written by Jessica Hemauer, I find that her situation plays a common role in many lives today. Jessica had to give up most of her childhood to help her family with the farm. In doing so when she is finally able to participate in child like activities, she realizes how her hard work on the farm helped build her character. I find the main point of Jessica’s essay is she realizes how all of her hard work made her stand out from her peers. Jessica is describing how she was not fond of waking up early in the morning to help the chores on the farm before having to attend school. As Jessica explains “As we dress…”I hate this!” (pg.83) She wants us to know that her siblings as well hated that they had to participate in the house holdchores. She explains how she was never able to participate in any school activities with her friends. She also explains how depressing her conversations would be at lunch because she wasn’t relevant to the conversations. After years of sacrifice and pleading with her parents, they finally allowed her to join the basketball team as long as she continued to help with the chores around the house. Now Jessica has to manage her life as a farm girl and her new life as a kid. She continues to work on the farm and play basketball up until her freshman year. Her father is expanding the farm and he leaves it up to the children to decide if they want to continue...

...Science of Stars This paper is about the science of the stars. In this paper I will address how astronomers determine the composition, temperature, speed, and rotation rate of distant objects. I will briefly explain the properties of stars in the H-R diagram from Chapter 15 of the course textbook “The Cosmic Perspective”. I will also summarize the lifecycle of the Sun and identify where the Sun is in its lifecycle. Studying Distant Objects Astronomers study light which comes from distant objects to determine its composition, temperature, speed, and rotation of distant objects. This process is called spectroscopy. Spectroscopy was first used to study celestial objects in 1863 by William Higgins. By using this process he discovered the Sun and most stars are primarily composed of hydrogen gases. By using the spectroscopy technique it was discovered that different objects give off and absorb different spectrums of light. Where the object falls in the spectrum of light can be determined by examining its peak intensity at each wave length of light. The light helps us to determine an objects composition, temperature, and rotation. There are three types of spectra used to evaluate light. Objects which absorb light at different wavelengths are referred to as absorption spectrum. The intensity of light drops in objects which absorb light and therefore appear as dark lines on a rainbow of colors. Objects such are stars, planets with atmospheres, and galaxies absorb light...

...people behave” (Rosner, 1999); this is an accurate description on how people perceive training as an “information dump” in my opinion. Too often training is perceived as a punishment rather than opportunity to grow; I have experience this reaction as a trainee and as an instructor in my organization. In this article the author Bob Rosner outlines training situations and provides examples of the “good” and the “bad” of training outcomes and how important is to have experienced trainers available for training in order to, gather and prepare an effective training section and, to main maintain an appropriate audience’s attention. It is important to mention and the particularly of the article that is outlined in 20 questions with an opening summary that introduce the importance of training to the reader, perhaps with the intention of changing one’s approach to training not the necessity of training. The main point of the author is to target the training need of the employees of any organization by targeting its manager’s proficiency, Rosner points out that in several occasions the employees are not the issue, the issue rest on an “ineffective” boss. This is a great observation from him: supervisors for the most parts they do not realize that they are not impacting the organization effectively or delivering the...

...Become the Main Attraction provides some good details on how to effectively utilize your time during marketing events. In large events in large venues, the activities and noise can make it difficult for marketing representatives to be seen. This article emphasizes these issues and gives ideas on how to eliminate these problems before and during the event. It is important to be in an area where traffic flows easily and not in a congested area. For instance, Pevy gives an idea of which location is good for the booth during the event. The booth has to be in an area where people can see the booth and what it obtains. He also gives ideas of how to make the booth interactive to get the audience attention and keep them at the booth as long as possible. Suggestions include not having walls or interiors of the booth to increase interaction as well as using television and online devices which can enable guests to be filmed and viewed on the television and online as well. Another aspect of the visual aspect is that of who is chosen to man the booth. It is important to put someone there who looks like they belong in the crowd as well as look like they know what the event is representing. He uses a NASCAR event as an example where representatives use the attire of NASCAR-style jumpsuits to fit the part. He also emphasizes using representatives who have knowledge and perhaps be fans of the event subject. For instance, at a NASCAR event, find people who are fans of NASCAR. The...

...Whale Done! The Power of Positive Relationships Kenneth H. Blanchard 11/30/2004 1) Experience in both business and writing is what motivated Blanchard to write this book. He realizes how important strong, positive relationships are in home and business environments. Having written other business oriented literature this book is just another to add to the multi-faceted business profession. 2) Anyone can read this book. It takes the entertainment of Sea World (which we all know) and relates it to family and business relationships (which we’ve all experienced). There are no technical terms or other prerequisites to this book. It is at about a middle school reading level. 3) The main point of the book is to build positive relationships by accentuating the positive. The main character, Wes, gets the chance to analyze how trainers work with Killer Whales at Sea World. They tell him the whales are most effective when being rewarded for doing something correctly. He takes this philosophy home and to the office and tries to recognize when his co-workers/subordinates and wife/children do something well. 4) Working in an organization with negative relationships and low morale can be troublesome for productivity. Also it can cause stress and depression, which can lead to poor behavior outside of work. It is essential to every work environment to be positive and work well with others, both for ones well being and the success of an organization. 5) The first thing...

...The University of Melbourne Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering 433-254 Software Design Semester 2, 2003 Answers for Lab 2 Week 3 1. Writing Simple Classes: a) In Java systems, there is only one class with the ‘main’ function, which initiates the execution of the whole system. Therefore, in order to test individual classes (i.e. unit testing), developers are usually writing a simple class with a main function (also known as a driver class) that simply calls all different functions of a target class and prints the results. Your task is to download the file “Keyboard.java” from: www.cs.mu.oz.au/254/Keyboard/Keyboard.html and write a simple driver program that tests the following methods from Keyboard.java: readInt() readString() readLong() readWord() readFloat() readChar() readDouble() readBoolean() Sample Answer: // A class to execute one or more Keyboard methods class Test { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.print("Please enter a string: "); String str = Keyboard.readString(); System.out.println("String = " + str); System.out.println(); System.out.print("Please enter a word: "); String word = Keyboard.readWord(); System.out.println("word = " + word); System.out.println(); System.out.print("Please enter a character: "); char ch = Keyboard.readChar(); System.out.println("char = " + ch); System.out.println(); System.out.print("Please enter a boolean (true/false): "); boolean bool = Keyboard.readBoolean(); System.out.println("boolean...

...Meghan Loar 1/23/12 Assignment 1 Six event elements Italian Heritage Festival The purpose of the Italian heritage festival convention is to help familiarize the group of 50 meeting planners with our festival and how things are done. The festival is held every year as a huge festival that really serves as a family reunion. Traditions, parades, food, and stories are what draw most of the crowd to this event. The anticipation for this event is always exciting! We send out brochures, cards, letters, and emails to our out of town friends and relatives to make them aware of the upcoming annual festival. The same is also sent to our past entertainers to invite them back with the option of entertaining us again. Although, we completely understand if they do not wish to do so again, but encourage them to come back and enjoy the festival anyways. We of course always keep out website up to date with pictures, next year’s date, a chance to design a brochure cover art and some activities to get our “family” ready for the upcoming action! Reservations and such are planned way in advance. So for the 50 meeting planners, and other guests, their hotel and travel accommodations’ are already planned before they arrive. For the particular group of 50 coming, we have planned to show them our top spots and hotels for the formal dinners and Galas we have planned for this festival. In our city, we only have a few select hotels and banquet rooms that could accommodate our size for...

...Sunny Herold Professor Moore History 132: Paper #2 2 December 2009 Shallow Babbitt George F. Babbitt is a text-book example of a conformist businessman whose life is based on appearance and material items. Lewis not only accurately portrays Babbitt as a symbol of the shady business world of the 1920’s, but also makes him a symbol of sympathy. Babbitt’s shallow fixations and arrogant behavior throughout the book reflect May Sinclair’s review of Babbitt as “a bundle of pompous negations, futilities, [and] preposterous vanities” (May Sinclair, “The Man from Main Street,” The New York Times, September 24, 1922). Although his character is criticized in such a negative light, his troubles are realistic and easy to relate to. Even with all of his amenities and thriving job, Babbitt is unhappy and fantasizes regularly. When Babbitt finally realizes his discontent and tries to change, he is shunned from the community. The setting of the novel is the 1920’s in a fictional city called Zenith, a typical booming town full of factories, hope, and skyscrapers. Lewis correctly depicts the time period after WWI, when business was booming and materialism was rampant. Everything was about industry and conforming. Everyone longed to have the best and most recent appliances and the best appearance. Therefore, there was a huge increase in consumer spending. Babbitt’s house in Floral Heights is described as being “right out of Cheerful Modern Houses for Medium Incomes” (Sinclair Lewis, Babbitt...
