...memorize my speech well enough and did not deliver it nearly as well as I was hoping I would. I decided to ask my junior date to prom through impromptu speaking, but when the time actually came I did not have the right words to say and she was not too happy with me, luckily I gave her flowers. I could have obtained a job working at a beach club last year, but during my interview, failed to use enough specific, concrete words and ended up not being hired by the company. I could have told my mom up front when I knocked down and broke her favorite lamp, but instead used to too much figurative language to the point where she couldn’t figure out what I was telling her and had to find out on her own. When telling my dad that I wanted to quit track, I had trouble making eye contact with him and my physical delivery was off, making it difficult to persuade him and make my point, instead I just beat around the bush and made it harder for both of us. I highly regret the time I delivered a speech on the holiday of Halloween and passed around candy for my audience, because people were more interested in finding red Starburst than what I had to say. Recently, for my Leisure and Lifestyle Development class I brought a Frisbee as my visual aid when telling people of what I liked to do for leisure. My teacher promptly asked me to show off my skill in Frisbee and I almost broke someone’s nose. That was a poor visual aid to choose. In my recent speech about junk food, I could have...

Code: DrawArcDemo.java Explanation: In this code a method DrawArc() and FillArc() was used. It has 6 parameters that assign to a point to which the object was created and formed like that. The output became dark because of FillArc() which it fills the space inside the arc and also it is the same parameters as the arc have.

There is also a counting that counts how many times we repaint the applet. Code: RoundRectDemo Explanation: As what we have seen, this illustrates how we draw a rectangle into circle. Its uses 6 parameters as the x and y location, the height and the width, and the point how it bends.

...don’t have respects for the customers and which is why most of their business goes out of business. I remember that one time this sale person was really pushy and rude like they were so desperate that they want me to buy the products no matter what. I know from experiences in life that you can’t sound rude, mean or even desperate to your prospects because that really push the prospect further away for buying the products. In order to get customers, one must have to think like a customers and say, “What can interest me to buy certain type of products and why?” I believe many professionals used this method to get customers that they want to and make sure they get to close. In another words, the professionals want to able to present to the point that they...

...How to write a Literature Review: Step 1: Read a lot. Sounds simplistic, but the fact is that you do have to read a lot, and read with care and purpose. There are things that you can do within the process to make your life easier, and the purpose of this short document is to point some of them out. Hopefully, this will help. However, there is no substitute for good, thorough, and hard work. When you start your reading, start broadly. If you have an area you are interested in, such as computers in education, multi-media, distance education, web-based instruction, or some other specific concentration, start your reading in those areas. Course assigned reading will help, but you will have to branch outwards and inwards. Don’t be afraid to follow an area that seems not to be related to your area. You are trying to define your interests. Allow yourself the freedom to do that. Here are some tips on how you might branch out, and/or focus in: A. Look carefully at the references. Should the author raise a salient point that interests you and they happen to cite somebody, look up the citation and read the original source. The original source will have its own references, follow these. Repeat as necessary. B. Read from tangentially related fields. Don’t be afraid to look outside of the literature in IT to other areas. Educational Psychology, Human Resources, Computer Science, and Communications Studies are but a few of the related fields with important information...

...Portland U. vs. Washington U. tonight this game tips at 10pm est. The line is -19 to Washington U. Washington U. is trying to convince the country that it's an elite team. UW has an elite player in Isaiah Thomas but UW has lost to the only 2 elite top ten programs they have played. They had a 7 point loss to Kentucky and 5 point loss to Michigan State. Portland is hardly in the same league with these programs but UW is going to need to take care of business tonight. While beating Portland by no means will justify UW as one of the best programs, losing to them could most certainly drop them out of the top 25. Portland U. while in a lesser conference is a good solid team. Luke Sikma is their best player at 6-8 and 12 ppg. This team can play with any small conference opponent but they have shown when they play the big boys they fold. Kentucky got them by 31 points and Washington State beat them by 16 points. WSU is un ranked but they are a nice team. This game is at Washington so that makes it tougher for Portland to come away with the upset. Going over the numbers: UW 95.7ppg to 71.9pg allowed. PORT 69.8ppg to 65.3ppg allowed. Offensive rebounds are going to be what helps UW win this game and win it big. While UW has hit 100 the last 2 games I don't see UW putting a hundred on Port but I do think they will be close. My score prediction is 91-69. Washington...

...Integrating evidence into your own writing When integrating the evidence you've gathered into your essay, you must first look at your essay plan to decide where evidence needs to be placed in relation to the points you’re making. Then you need to look at the particular paragraph in which a piece of evidence belongs to decide how it can be integrated, remembering that its role will be to support or expand on a point you've already made in your own words within that paragraph.

...The Curse The Curse - Time, point of view, symbolism and figurative language by Nicki Time Looking at the “time” in any kind of literature, is to be viewed at, in two different ways. First there’s the level of events, which describes what happens in the story, as it actually happens. It’s a chronological timeline if you want to say so. Then there’s the level of thoughts, making room for flashbacks, flash forwards in a timeline. In “The Curse” the level of events and level of thoughts follow each other most of the way. So if I put up a timeline, they would be very alike. The timeline for the level of events starts out with our main character Mitchell, is in the bar a late night in august, when a group of young men, probably affected by drugs, enters the bar. After the “last call” a girl enters the bar, asking for some change for the cigarette automat. The men begin to rape this girl, and when Mitchell tries to call the police, he’s being shoved. The next thing that happens is, that the police arrives and start to treat the girl and interrogate Mitchell about what had happened. When the police are gone, Mitchell is in the bar alone with Bob (who’s the manager of the bar). Mitchell gets home, and sits by himself until his wife joins him while he start to tell what had happened. The next day he tells his children about the incident and goes to work, where he talks with Reggie, a customer. To the level of thoughts, Mitchell starts in the bar after the police have left...

...(something children have for daily basic) to put in the story, and there is a cute boy show his daily task to take care of animals. However, the book is not only about basic math concept but also include the love for animals and friendship. After reading the book, I would have two activities follow up for children to do. One activity is building a block tower between 1 and 10 blocks tall. I will ask children to count the number of blocks and help building a second tower using the same number of blocks. Then, let children find the total number of blocks it took to build both towers. Second activity is double game by 2 dices. Children start with 10 points. Then, each of children will take each turn to roll dices. If doubles are rolled, the player win 1 point, but if not then lose 1 point. The first kid to get 20 or more points is the...

...communities. Company Q refuses to donate their day old food to the food banks citing the potential for employees to steal product that the employees claim they are donating. In addition to the savings they are losing by discarding waste instead of donating which I will explain later, Company Q is sending a message to their employees that they are not trusted which affects employee morale, which affects productivity. The first area Company Q needs to address is evaluating their stores. There should already be a system in place to evaluate each store’s profitability since these numbers have to be reported in the financial reports. Where they are failing themselves is by not intervening when a store is struggling and letting them get to the point of closing them down. There should be someone responsible for all the stores in that area, and it is this person’s responsibility to make sure each store succeeds. If Company Q would invest a little time and capital in making sure...

...server. A killer serve is the first step to solid, offensive volleyball and will keep your opponent off balance by limiting their own offensive opportunities. There are two main types of serves in volleyball: The underhand serve and the overhand serve. Both types of serves can be broken down into three main components: * Serving posture: The athlete’s body position—correct weight distribution and ideal arm and foot placement—before the actual serve. * The toss: The lifting or throwing of the ball into the air before contact is made. Discussions about the toss usually focus on correct ball positioning, the ideal toss height for each type of serve, and preferred toss techniques. * Contact point: The position of the server’s hand upon the moment of contact. The contact point is significant because it determines the trajectory of the ball. This guide will discuss both basic types of serves in terms of the concepts outlined above because each stage is critical to the successful execution of the serve. The Underhand Serve The underhand serve is a great option for beginning players because it is the easiest of the three types of serves to master. Since every rally begins with a serve, the primary goal of any inexperienced server should be to just put the ball into play. Posture Practicing good underhand serving posture prepares you to be a consistent underhand server and can also prepare you for overhand serving. Here are some serving posture tips to keep in mind: ...
