...simple things like a peanut is a nut that is brown and grows inside a pod. What I did not immediately think about what the actual purpose of this essay—to write about what I observed about the peanut given to me by my instructor. I had grabbed five peanut shells out of the large bag that probably came from Costco. I chose one to observe and I decided on the one that seemed to have the most character on the outside. At first sight, the pod seemed to be brittle and weak due to the breakage of the outer shell which exposed the root-like veins. It was disproportionately shaped where one side was almost twice as large as the other side. The first thing that came to my mind when I looked at the shape of this peanut was the ultrasound picture of a fetus. It was bent in the center and one side looked like a head. I was immediately distracted by the thought of whether the peanut was salted or unsalted, so I licked the shell to find that it was salted. The texture against my tongue was rough and almost fuzzy and I could also feel the pores and veins of the inner part of the shell. I began to rub the shell with my finger and experienced similar feeling as I did with my tongue, but against my skin it reminded me of the how the bottom of my dog’s paws feel. I examined the imperfections of the shell and found a small pin size hole at the tip of one side, and looking closely I could see the nut inside. I shook the peanut and could hear the two nuts inside rattling around from one...

...Peering at the pasty white walls of the infirmary’s endless narrow hallway ahead of me, I recognized the importance of my job as a counselor. A camper’s safety should always be my number one priority, so at a time like this my full attention was crucial. I twisted the chilling metal knob of the towering bleached door before me, and pulled it open. I examined Laura’s wiry brittle figure, while her dazed expression caught my eye and I turned to Dani, the camp’s social worker. My worried façade must have clued her in because just then Dani said, “Lauren, you did everything right. She is going to be fine; we just need to keep her here to monitor her.” I thanked her as my attention drifted to the instants that brought me to the infirmary. --- My...

...The giving all began one morning, it was a Thursday. I woke up in the morning, got ready for school and did my normal routine.I brushed my hair and teeth, washed my face, used the restroom, got dressed, and put makeup on. Next, I ate breakfast and my mom dropped me off at school. It was a normal day at school, nothing too exciting happened in my classes. Then, my mom picked me up from school and we stopped at the store. We got groceries for dinner and came home. Then I decided to make a twitter account dedicated to composting. I asked a few of my friends to follow they account and share it with a few of their friends. Since then, I have gained 13 followers on twitter.

...Describe the definition of nursing as put forward by the American Nurses Association. How does it address the metaparadigm theories of nursing? Nursing is the protection, promotion, and optimization of health and abilities, prevention of illness and injury, alleviation of suffering through the diagnosis and treatment of human response, and advocacy in the care of individuals, families, communities, and populations. (1) To me this in a nut shell means that is caring for the person as a whole the physical, spiritual and psychological. To care for the person and community. This is essinational to the Metaparadigm of nursing because the first level of the pyramid is the base that is it is the foundation of both nursing and the pyramid. This is the person’s health both mental and physical. This can be accomplished by protection and promotion of the person’s health. The second is very broad but includes a understanding of how the physical and mental components effects a person health. This foundation of learned by a knowledge of physical and social sciences. The third and fourth level of the pyramid is Nursing Theories, this is how the physical and nursing intervention collide. Without strong nursing theories and then we wouldn’t know to for example turn are patients every two hours to prevent bed sores. The fifth and sixth level pf the pyramid is evidence based practice and quality outcomes. The both of this levels are what the definition of nursing is all about. Quality...

...of the title you can tell just from the painting that this took place during the civil war era and that the men in the small group were prisoners or peasants they look helpless and hungry. The Union guard looks very stern and demanding just from the way his body is set. Also the other painting “ A visit from old mistress “ the slaves in the painting seems scared and looked down upon, old mistress face looks mean and demanding. In general both paintings suggest to me, that authority and a suggested demeaning vibe were present throughout both paintings. 2) To start off this “Luncheon of boating party “is so vivid and an extremely beautiful painting. From this painting it is apparent that the social class present is very wealthy. You can tell that wealth is present throughout this entire painting simply because of the attire and food eaten. Wealthy people would be out gossiping and socializing in the late 1800’s as seen in the painting. There is a variety of bottles of wine and fine china on the table this helps me prove my point that the social aspect of this painting is the wealthy I would say were probably talking about ways to become even wealthier. The dog in this painting doesn’t present loyalty at all, the dog is being treated like a toy or even looked upon as a cute little accessory. The dog’s breed also expands my point that this scene in this painting is the upper class....

...2013 Assignment# 1: Reading Selection from Descartes Discourse on the Method Based on my reading on the meditation of the first philosophy, Descartes tries to prove the existence of God in the third meditation. To my understanding, he came up with several premises that eventually add up to a solid argument. Descartes ask, himself lots of questions. The first one was does God exist?. In a nut shell, Descartes arrives at another confirmation of God’s existence by way of mathematics. Descartes notes, the certainty with geometers can prove facts, such as the fact that the angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees. Therefore, he recognizes that the existence is as much an essential part of proving that there is three triangles and three holy spirit all in one God. Descartes stated that people have difficulty with these proofs, because they rely solely on their senses and imagination. He also states that the existence of God can only be understood by reason and faith. Hence, the surprise for me would be, based on the question of God’s existence: it turned out to be a very debatable and controversial topic. Descartes, touched on many of these doubts regarding the question, most of which, is just as certain as proving a triangle equation. Most of these doubts can be cleared with the acknowledgement of God’s existence. The Bible is a good way to clarify the perceptions of God. Most times, we misunderstand when our...

Elliot grew up playing high school and college football, with was and excellent baseline for his true calling. Before Strength Camp, He participated in professional Strong Man competitions and eventually buckled down and opened his own gym. His impulse was not the smartest move financially, but the debt he accumulated with the new gym and a little girl on the way lit a fire under him to make this move a success. What really inspired me about Elliot was a video he posted called “How successful people train”. In a nut shell, he explained that no one is successful without hard work and a moderate sacrifice, and if you want something bad enough you will work for it. He had mentioned a quote that will stay with me for probably the rest of my life, “successful people do what they have to do, weather they feel...

...FIGHTING FOR MY DREAM A wise man told me, "Happiness does not come from doing easy work but, from the afterglow of satisfaction that comes after the achievement of a difficult task that demanded our best." This quote really explains how I feel about my dream job. Although I'm not sure what job I will have, I do know that it will be in the field of business. I love the idea of getting dressed up to go to an office. I enjoy being able to work with other and also working alone. Furthermore, competing for a position is fantastic and goes so well with my personality. I like the concept of survival of the fittest. I aspire to become the CEO of a major company. Initially, my aunt was the one who brought to my attention of pursuing this career. When I was in middle school I went to work with her one day and fell in love with just the atmosphere. Being inside a building around several people but also having your own little space was spectacular. In contrast, being with my aunt also brought to light that I don’t want to work for a computer company because I don’t want to work on a computer trying to fix other peoples computer problems. That is boring to me. I want to work for an established company that is well known either nationally or internationally. Moreover, being a business person, specifically a CEO, you have to be able to take charge. The idea of power excites me because you won't have the entire baggage of owning a business or starting a business however, you still have to...

Clockwise rotation makes the gap decrease, conversely, anticlockwise rotation makes the gap enlarge. When the gap is adjusted, we plug the safety pin of the turning disc in the shell hole for normal production. Observe the grain hulling machine charging quantity. If the charging quantity is too large, then reduce it. If there has sudden failure, we should cut off the power and check the machine. Don’t make any foreign matters to the feeding port of the grain hulling machine. Don’t stretch hand into the canister of the feeding port. The halting sequence and the boot sequence should be opposite. The above is the grain hulling machine operation methods.

...the truth. This is one of the most detestable vices in people. Some people may distinguish between ‘white’ lies and outright blatant lies, however, in my opinion, such a distinction is flawed, even flattery is a lie. In other words, lying is a mere deception for some gains. Lying is never holy, whether it is for other’s own good or one’s own selfish intention. If the truth comes to light, the person who has been deceived will feel cheated and hurt, thus will lose trust on that person once and for all. He who once deceived is ever suspected. Sometimes, the truth may be painful, it would be better to let it be reveled than to lie about to delude someone. Besides, a blister will rise upon one’s tongue that tells a lie. This reminds me of the story of “The Wolf and the Farmer Boy”. The farmer boy has lied to the villagers several times that a wolf has appeared. One day, a wolf really came and the farmer boy cried for help, yet the villagers ignored him because they thought it was another trick of his. In the end, all his sheep were eaten by the wolf. “a liar is not believed when he speaks the truth” is the most suitable proverb to define those who often lie. Nobody will ever believe in liars nor want to befriend with liars! One lie makes many, and I agree too. Walter Scott once quoted, “Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive!” A liar can go around the world but cannot come back. This is because when a lie is made, another lie should be made...

...connected. Before I proceed any further, I want to tell a little about me. My name is Muhammad Syahrul Nazmi B Mustapa. I was born in Kuala Lumpur on 30th April 1995 and now I am taking a foundation in engineering at INTEC Education College Shah Alam. Regarding the topic above, actually I want to tell a story about my experience with my crush where we have a special relationship before. 14th March 2012, was the starting point where the story between us began. On that day, I approached my crush and told my true feeling towards her. Why I choose that date? I am still remember, that was the day where I am starting to wish her “Happy Birthday” since I know her on 7th February 2011. During that time we were just friends and became close after knowing her 6 month after our first met. Back to the main story, when I told her about my true feeling, she accepted me as a special man in her life. We became close and close, until one day we decided to get married, but the poor thing had happened between us where we need to forget about our dreamed. The relationship was not stand long enough. We need to choose our own path after we graduated as a high school students and maybe of the few reasons that happened between us. Well people do said that “we can make our own plan but god know the best for us”. Since that time, I never made any special relationship with other people yet, because I knew there was someone who will waiting for me in the future. Besides, what was I meant by have a foundation...

...Meet The Press February 5th 2012 My my first time watching the show I actually found it interesting aside from not knowing what they are actually talking about some of the time. This episode of February 5th was accompanied by guest speaker Newt Gingrich. Newt was asked to speak on several topics which include his thoughts on Presidential candidate Mitt Romney, as response to war on religion and a update on the current job market status and how Romney won't help it. Also before I get started I wanted to point out that the host was sort of rude and liked cutting people off when they speak. I'm sure he knows his politics but who does he think he is? I may be exaggerating but he rubbed me the wrong way with his questions, I mean attacks. To start off the show the hosts asked Mr. Gingrich what he thought about Mitt Romney and his winning poles in Nevada. The well thought response of Mr. Gingrich was as something like this. Mr. Gingrich Accused Mitt Romney of spreading rumors that Newt would withdraw from the race at Caucus time, which I'm still not sure exactly what Caucus is or if it should even be capitalized or not, heh. In, addition to his first response he added that he is basically moving on and not dreading on the past. Mr. Gingrich seems to have a clear agenda ahead as he continues to respond to the statement that basically meant Romney just cleaned house in Nevada. Newt says he is moving on, moving to Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee and Texas and focuses and what...

...Dawn A. Ross Sociology 100 1/27/11 My culture is many different things but very hard to explain. Because African Americans have the ability to adapt to other cultures, because we over the years have had them striped away due to the low tolerance of us grouping together in fear that we were going to rebel. Also we were forced to learn our masters culture such as they prayed, how the talked, even how they celebrated important events in their families lives. We have over the years started to develop our own culture like how we wear our clothes, hair, even how we raise our kids. I personally practice 2 different types of cultures in my day to day living. The 1st is Islam I have been practicing for many years now I had to learn the different prayers, how to stand while praying, what I could eat, how I had to dress, how to honor our families in all that we do an that Allah is the creator of all living things. I attend different festivals, ceremonies, basically how to live your life grateful for everything an how to be humble. 2nd is the Puerto Rican culture from the music to the way they cook their food also I like how they all stick together an take care of each other without a question or any harsh words unlike African American’s we tend to get mad if someone gets more than us. I enjoy eating the chicken and rice it is a dish that has come a long way and been passed down the line of women in this culture. I am an open minded person and I have learned how to deal...
