...AS Geography Fieldwork Summary Hypothesis - Our hypothesis for this investigation was the Bradshaw’s Model is an accurate reflection of downstream variation in a number of channel parameters. On the right is an image of the Bradshaw Model. This is relevant to our river studies as the river we visited was a natural river in its middle course. Before we started the investigation I expected that the river would be quite deep due to the heavy rainfall we had before we went, meaning that it would be fast flowing in some places. Because it was deep, it limited the space where we could carry out the investigation, but we were able to find shallow parts and record results so we did have a successful investigation. < This is silver stream source, as you can see the area is very boggy and not a lot of water flowing. The ground acts as a sponge in this part soaking up the water and storing it. Stones will be quite large here as the water is not strong enough to erode them < This is silver stream source, as you can see the area is very boggy and not a lot of water flowing.

Stones will be quite large here as the water is not strong enough to erode them Location - The location of our investigation was at Ober Water in the New forest, Brokenhurst. This was our chosen location because it was close to the college, only a forty five minute journey; therefore making it easily accessible. Another reason...

...A Cap of Sky A Youth is often characterized by life, desire and a feeling of freedom and invincibility. It is in youth a person truly provides background for what the personality of the person concerned contains and how it develops according to peer relationships and a person’s inner self, and therefore the youth is a vital part of life, but being young is not always as easy as it sounds because even though freedom is within reach, responsibility and expectations are right behind you, reminding you of reality. It is different from persons to persons how this feeling of freedom are attained; some people like to go out in nature to open their minds, and some do drugs to escape from reality. This is also the case in the short story A Gap of Sky by Anna Hope from 2008 that deals with the issues of drugs, freedom and reflection. Ellie is a nineteen year old teenager who lives in the heart of London. She is a student at an unknown university, and it appears that she lives at a college because she in the beginning of the short story have to walk all the way down the corridor to get to the hall toilet. Ellie is not taking her education very serious and she even blames her parents that she is doing what she calls “this bloody course”(p. 2, l.66). Furthermore, Ellie is doing drugs, smoking a crack pipe etc. and skips lectures because she stays up late and parties. The short story is told with third person narration and takes place at her place and in the streets of London; an urban...

...probably sour (35). The repeated demonstration of fox’s failures and his self-rationalization of why is he walking away—not that he has failed but because he has decided that the grapes are sour and he does not want them anyway—cleverly portrays the moral of the fable: if you can’t get it, blame something else, not yourself. It therefore asks the readers to Aesop’s Fables 3 of 93 The Wolf and the Lamb Once upon a time a Wolf was lapping at a spring on a hillside, when, looking up, what should he see but a Lamb just beginning to drink a little lower down. ‘There’s my supper,’ thought he, ‘if only I can find some excuse to seize it.’ Then he called out to the Lamb, ‘How dare you muddle the water from which I am drinking?’ ‘Nay, master, nay,’ said Lambikin; ‘if the water be muddy up there, I cannot be the cause of it, for it runs down from you to me.’ ‘Well, then,’ said the Wolf, ‘why did you call me bad names this time last year?’ ‘That cannot be,’ said the Lamb; ‘I am only six months old.’ ‘I don’t care,’ snarled the Wolf; ‘if it was not you it was your father;’ and with that he rushed upon the poor little Lamb and .WARRA WARRA WARRA WARRA WARRA .ate her all up.

...TO: Accountancy Project Discovery Students FROM: Communications Specialists DATE: Fall 2000 SUBJECT: How to Write a Successful Memo This memo's purpose is to explain how to write a memo that successfully conveys a message accurately, concisely, and coherently. Memos are the major form of internal communication in most organizations, so it is vital that business writers understand how to draft these important documents effectively. This memo will cover the correct memo format first. Then, it will discuss clarity and conciseness, consistency and numbers, passive voice, parallelism, sexist writing, agreement, comma usage and hyphen usage. USING CORRECT MEMO FORMAT Unlike conversations, memos leave a "paper trail," so the company can use directives, inquiries, instructions, requests, recommendations, policies and other reports for future reference. Depending on their purpose, memos can range from a few lines to four or five pages. Shorter memos do not require formal introductory and concluding paragraphs. However, most memos assigned in this class will be at least one page long. Therefore, writers should include the appropriate introductions and conclusions. Every memo should have a header containing the word (prominently displayed) MEMO or MEMORANDUM followed by the organization's name. Writers usually draft memos on company letterhead. Following the header are four crucial pieces of information: TO: Name and title (the title serves as a record for reference) ...

A critical thinking component is included in the course. Specific problems relating to topics such as corporate responsibility, employee rights, and the nature of the free enterprise system, environmental concern and ethical business practices. In deciding how to act, managers reveal their inner values, test their commitment to those values, and ultimately shape their characters. In general, Ethics is both an academic “subject” and a thoughtful way of doing things. Theoretical Ethics is that branch of Philosophy concerned with determining what is right (with regard to principles and actions) and what is good (what ends or ideals are worth pursuing and what values are worth holding). Practical Ethics is the art or techne (know-how) of figuring out how to make things better rather than worse with regard to concrete or actual situations. Business Ethics is a type...

...A&P and Araby John Updike's A & P and James Joyce's Araby share many of the same literary traits. The primary focus of the two stories revolves around a young man who is compelled to decipher the different between cruel reality and the fantasies of romance that play in his head. That the man does, indeed, discover the difference is what sets him off into emotional collapse. One of the main similarities between the two stories is the fact that the main character, who is also the protagonist, has built up incredible,yet unrealistic, expectations of women, having focused upon one in particular towards which he places all his unrequited affection. The expectation these men hold when finally "face to face with their object of worship" (Wells, 1993, p. 127) is what sends the final and crushing blow of reality: The rejection they suffer is far too great for them to bear. Updike is famous for taking other author's works and twisting them so that they reflect a more contemporary flavor. While the story remains the same, the climate is singular only to Updike. This is the reason why there are similarities as well as deviations from Joyce's original piece. Plot, theme and detail are three of the most resembling aspects of the two stories over all other literary components; characteristic of both writers' works, each rendition offers its own unique perspective upon the young man's romantic infatuation. Not only are descriptive phrases shared by both stories, but parallels occur with...
