...Leisure or free time is time spent away from business, work, and domestic chores. During the twentieth century, more and more people found that they had leisure time. This raised an interesting question. What do you do when you are free to do anything you like? Many people took up a hobby. A hobby is a regular activity that is done for pleasure, typically, during one's leisure time. Hobbies can include: collecting themed items and objects, engaging in creative and artistic pursuits, and playing sports, along with many more examples. By continually participating in a particular hobby, one can acquire substantial skill and knowledge in that area. Having a hobby helps to make you a more interesting person and gives you something fascinating to talk about with others. It can also help you to avoid feeling bored and often provides the opportunity to meet new people with similar interests. Learning something new is always good for keeping the mind active. This will also make you a more interesting person than a person who is addicted to Facebook, TV or doing other time wasting and unhealthy tasks. There are hundreds of hobbies a person can choose from. Some of them are: collecting, outdoor, sports, creative hobbies etc. Collecting is a practice with a very old cultural history. The collecting hobby is a modern descendant of the "cabinet of curiosities" which was common among scholars with the means and opportunities to acquire unusual items from the 16th century onwards. The involvement...

...The first thing that I learned was about the course grading and assignments. It made me realize how important it is to make sure that my work is turned in on time, done to the best of my ability. I also learned what each assignment was worth and how all the grades for assignments were distributed throughout the course. Knowing this will help set me up for success in CM107. Also, knowing that it is so important that I read the material so that I know what is talked about when the quizzes, discussions, and seminars come so I can give the maximum participation. The second thing that I learned was how important the seminars really are. Knowing that the material will discussed and that I have a chance to talk with the Professor as well as the other students about anything in the unit that I may have a question about is really helpful for me. This will also help me further understand the material so that I can receive the best grade that I am capable of receiving in the course. When I was enrolled in my other online university the classes that had seminars seemed to be a waste of time because it was always off topic or the coursework was not discussed. Knowing that the Professor is making sure that the discussion in the seminar stays on point lets me know that I will be learning and not wasting my time as well as my professors. The final thing that I took away from the seminar was to post my discussions early in the week so that I am able to stay up to date with all the responses...

...Henrico Country, Virginia, occurred” (Aptheker 219). The book Black Thunder: Gabriel’s Revolt written by Arna Bontemps is a historical novel that takes place in Virginia in 1800. It shows what the slaves at this time were experiencing and it is in their point of view, rather than the view from the slave masters, like many other novels are. The title, Black Thunder, has a double meaning to it. The very literal meaning of it is a night thunderstorm. The thunderstorm is a climactic turning point in the novel. It is what causes the rivers to flood and the slaves to bail on the revolt. They see the storm as a bad sign and do not want to move onward. The other meaning of the title is the sound of African drums. The titles of the five books, “Jacobins”, “Hand Me Down My Silver Trumpet”, “Mad Dogs”, “A Breathing Of The Common Wind”, and “Pale Evening…A Tall Slim Tree”, in the novel are also very significant. For example, Jacobins, which is the title of book one, were French men who were members of a radical political group who supported an egalitarian democracy. This first book involves many judgments, so I feel it is an appropriate title. The third book refers to what the masters and white people of power saw the slaves as, mad dogs. The last book title has to do with execution and this is the chapter where Gabriel and other slaves get hung. There are many important characters in this novel, but a few particularly stand out, Gabriel, Bundy, and Old Ben. Bundy and Old Ben could...

...Gee Summary In this work written by James Paul Gee, explaining that you as an individual are more subject to gaining discourse from primary discourse (parents, siblings, family), and reinforced by secondary discourse (social goods such as money, prestige, power.) Gee states that "language" can be a term that is misleading because it often suggests that it refers to "grammar" However, language and grammar are two different things. Language is written words whereas grammar is seen as fixing the written words to make the work flow better. The central terms to the text are primary and secondary discourses. Primary discourse are being a member of a primary socializing group (family, clan, peer group). Secondary discourses are the mastery of a particular discourse at a certain place and time, bringing with it the acquisition of "social goods"( Literacy, Discourse, and Linguistics, By James Paul Gee). The reason these themes are so important is that a primary discourse is one in which you learn from individuals that are close to you. After, you have mastered the primary discourse you take what you learned from primary discourse, then through further mastery from other individuals you begin to construct the world around you. Once you have mastered secondary discourse you are able to compete for money power, and prestige. The first concept of the text is that primary and secondary discourses are necessary for an individual to be able to compete in society. After, mastering these skills...

For instance her children were involved in theatre and when practice was done they were allowed to participate with friends. It seems that the children in both families probably were happy children. Most people I know here in Washington State are in the middle of what these ladies believe in. Me for instance I believe that when my child plays a sport that excellence in mandatory. We will learn how to be one of the best players, we will master the sport, we will and discipline is mandatory. I feel the same way about school, we will be top of our class, and we will exceed expectations. But my children have playdates, sleepovers and have playdates. So I’m almost caught in the middle of what these articles speak about. We can master...

...When slaves were being sold they would inspect the buyers. A slave would size up their possible future master and determine based on their demeanor and appearance, whether or not he would be a good master. Once the slave got its intel on the buyer he or she would manipulate their physical traits to make the buyer more or less interested in the purchase. Some of the most well known slaves are; Harriet Tubman, George Carver, and Frederick Douglass. Harriet Tubman was notable and admired while she was alive, and even after she passed she was an American icon. Tubman was born into slavery and escaped in the north only to become the most famous conductor on the Underground Railroad. She also led hundreds of enslaved people to freedom along the route of the Underground Railroad that led to the free state of Pennsylvania. A survey was taken at the end of the 20th century naming her as one of the most famous civilians in American history before the Civil War (qtd. in H.T.B.). Not only does this show that she was a well known slave, it shows that she cared about her people and she would do anything to help them....

...During the time when Lazaro was alive he and his family had trouble getting money in order to survive. His mother who is a widower gives up Lazaro to a blind man to keep safe and to be fed because Lazaro mother cannot do so. During that time money was hard to get because of the booming economy that Spain was experiencing due to getting new resources of spices and herbs among with expensive metals such as gold and silver from the new world. With the economy booming prices on food, land, and ways to live have risen thus causing an inflammation on goods. This had effected Lazaro because his own mother had to give him up to a stranger in order for him and herself to survive, this key part sets many misfortunes upon Lazaro throughout his life. During the 16th century in Spain religion had played a big role in citizen’s lives. The main religion that was practice and forced upon in Spain was Christianity. There were laws that if you didn’t practice Christianity you will be baptize by force and also converted into Christianity, this was mostly practice on the Muslims and the Jews. There were also laws that were implanted on society if you were to practice another religion besides Christianity or even say any negatives against it you were either exiled from the country or killed in public with no trail. People will often keep their mouth shut in order to be safe, or even practiced their former religion in secrecy. Along with controlling people’s lives it controlled finances on who...

...we get heartbroken or angry but we must learn to deal with it and let it go as Bishop states, “the art of losing isn't hard to master.” But its easier said than done as losing a key can be replaced but losing someone whom we love can be a nightmare, in Bishop terms a “disaster.” Losing tangible and intangible possession we carry is part of life, but furthermore it is important to realize that coping with such a loss is the part of our existence that is necessary. In “One Art,” Bishop is rationalizing and adopting to her actual losses. She uses poetry has a medium to self-express and reflect her own personal loss and her endurance to cope with it. As Kristy states, “ One Art builds from Bishop's personal experience with loss to become a monument to one of the most fundamental of human experiences, resulting in a poem that is universal in its applicability and masterful in its execution.” Bishop intentionally mentions her losses in the poem in a fictitious mode to comfort herself and ensure that she can defeat her feelings of grief, as Miller states, “the losses in the poem are real.” Miller She recites, “I lost my mother watch,” her mother's watch is the only possession that she owns and losing it signifies that she has lost what remained of her mother. She is able to cope with the loss as she restates, “the art of losing isn't hard to master.” She believes she can cope with the loss, as her mother's watch isn't significant to her as she did only have a blur memory of...

...mother and father as she learned that her mother was sold from her at four years of age.She could never figure out her history due to the purposeful disconnection put into act by the master.¨I was just a little thing taken away from my mother and father just when I needed them the most ¨ Mingo Whiteś Narrative. This occurrence of broken families took a toll on many slaves as they grew up to be curious of who they were. If they wanted to know anything about them they were harshly restricted from learning so they couldn't read. According to Frederick Douglass's Narrative ¨Frequently, before the child has reached its twelfth month, it mother is taken from it¨.This purposeful displacement of the parents and the child hindered the affection between elders with the child. It was completely designed to destroy the bond of the mother and child to prevent teaming up and cleverness being built in the relationship. This broken family structure was heavily touched on to convey the impact it had on many slaves and how they became clever enough to start learning how to read and learn names and numbers in their...

...rolling, prevent being sued, or even get them out of their department. Either way, these managers used the rating system to the best interest of their employees, they fine-tuned their ratings to make sure they were accurate and efficient. All of the comments kind of made it clear that the managers all had different understandings about the rating system. Some ratings were made to motivate most of the employees, develop employees and others were used to grade their yearly work. These managers all had different perceptions on how to grade their employees so obviously this system is seriously flawed to say the least. I think fine-tuning becomes distortion when you have a grading system that has large gaps in what is really happening. Moving a grade up between a 6 and 7 will be ok but if you have a grading system where you have a drastic move such as a C to B or a B to A, that is drastic and fine tuning those could really cause distortion. I think this whole system needs to be...

...tissue by way of a series of self-replicating, biogenic molecules. This is obviously because he is such a boss. Rassilon only invented/created this for the Gallifreyan elite. I’ll stop here to blow your mind; Not all Gallifreyans are timelords, but all timelords are Gallifreyan elites. Rassilon also inputted a limitation of only twelve regenerations, this giving the timelord a total of thirteen incarnations. He did so to supposedly avoid the decaying of the biogenic molecules from wear and tear (pun). In a few examples throughout the Whoniverse, however, this limitation has been circumvented (or at least theorized to). I’ll explain more after the jump. In the episode The Five Doctors, the High Council (Rossilon is a member) offered the Master a new regenerative cycle. This is implying the limit can be replaced. I don’t say reset since the decay would still be occurring up to the 12th regeneration. Another example is from a recent and more widely seen episode. In Let’s Kill Hitler Melody Pond is in her third incarnation (her second regeneration) when she saved the 11th Doctor’s life by “transferring” all her remaining regenerations to the Doctor. This would result in one of three outcomes. First, her remaining nine regenerations were simply added to the Doctor’s remaining regenerations to give him a possible eleven more regenerations. The second outcome is through a default fail safe that would be presumed...
