...No sé que día de Agosto del año 1816 llegó a las puertas de la Capitanía General de Granada cierto haraposo y grotesco gitano, de sesenta años de edad, de oficio esquilador y de apellido o sobrenombre "Heredia", caballero en flaquísimo y destartalado burro mohino, cuyos arneses se reducían a una soga atada al pescuezo; y, echado que hubo pie a tierra, dijo con la mayor frescura «que quería ver al Capitán General.» Excuso añadir que semejante pretensión excitó sucesivamente la resistencia del centinela, las risas de los ordenanzas y las dudas y vacilaciones de los edecanes antes de llegar a conocimiento del Excelentísimo Sr. D. Eugenio Portocarrero, conde del Montijo, a la sazón Capitán General del antiguo reino de Granada... Pero como aquel prócer era hombre de muy buen humor y tenía muchas noticias de Heredia, célebre por sus chistes, por sus cambalaches y por su amor a lo ajeno..., con permiso del engañado dueño, dió orden de que dejasen pasar al gitano. Penetró éste en el despacho de Su Excelencia, dando dos pasos adelante y uno atrás, que era como andaba en las circunstancias graves, y poniéndose de rodillas exclamó: - ¡Viva María Santísima y viva su merced, que es el amo de toitico el mundo! - Levántate; déjate de zalamerías, y dime qué se te ofrece... -respondió el Conde con aparente sequedad. Heredia se puso también serio, y dijo con mucho desparpajo: - Pues, señor, vengo a que se me den los mil reales. - ¿Qué mil reales? - Los ofrecidos hace días...

...A Tragic Hero vs. an Epic Hero A tragic hero is a character that makes a wrongful decision and at the end pays for it. His choice will cause tragic circumstances. On the other hand, an epic hero is a character that goes through difficulties along his journey, all of which end up making him stronger. Example of a tragic hero is seen in Oedipus de King by Sophocles and an epic hero is seen in the Odyssey by Homer. In the Odyssey, Odysseus is the epic hero who goes through so much in order to return home. It takes him 10 years to finally return home and in his adventure he encounters a nymph named Calypso who kidnaps him in her island and doesn’t let him go until she is ordered to do so by Zeus. He is almost killed by the Cyclops’ Polyphemus, but survives by using his cunningness. The greatest attribute of Odysseus is being smart because that is how he survives all the challenges presented and how he gets home safe while many of his men get killed in the act. “Yea, and if some god shall wreck me in the wine-dark deep, even so I will endure…For already I have suffered full much, and much have I toiled in perils of waves and wars. Let this be added to the tale of those.” (Homer V 18) Epic heroes are differentiated by other kind of heroes because they survive their journey by being smarter, stronger and braver than any other person. Oedipus the King in the other hand is a tragic hero because even when he is smart and strong his story still ends tragically. One of his greatest...

...Perspectives of Deviance Paper McKayla L. Murphy Ohio Christian University 10/19/2014 SES Response Socioeconomic status (SES) is a word used to describe a person’s social location based on all three dimensions of the stratification system. Those three dimensions are wealth, prestige, and power. Wealth is people’s economic assets and here in the U.S. our income plays apart in what class we are ranked in. Prestige is the social esteem or honor that is accorded to particular people by others, and here in the U.S. our occupation plays a part in it. Power is a social relationship in which people are able to realize their will, even against the resistance of others, and in the U.S. it can come from wealth, status, or other sources. All three apply to me and my lifestyle. I rank in the class system. This system is where the boundaries between classes are more permeable, a person’s socioeconomic position depends more on achievement, and there are fairly frequent opportunities to change social position. This affects my lifestyle, by me getting a higher education and getting far in life. My family was always the lower class until my mother and father both graduated college. I never want my children to feel the way my parents did as children. I want to give them the life my parents gave me and be brought up in the Lord. References Sullivan, T. J. (2001).

...Bastian Steppin LDR:460 Professor: Dr. Kecia Edwards April 2014 IMPORTANCE OF EFFECTIVE TEAMWORK IN THE AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY This paper focuses on effective teamwork and how important it is for the automobile industry. This Industry is very fast moving and one false decision can cost millions of dollars for the company and can cost thousands of peoples jobs in case that the company goes bankrupt. The carmakers are on search for every cent that they can safe during the research, development, and also during the production process of a new vehicle. Of course, there are different ways to cut the cost in this industry. One way would be to use cheap and low-quality metals, another way would be to use cheap and less skilled employees. However the problem with these two approaches would be that they would harm the quality of the final product. The customer usually wants a high quality car for a low price and also low using cost. Therefore, the idea of using cheap and low quality metals, and also assembling the car by using unskilled and cheap labor, would finally result in the loss of customers and therefore the loss of business. The right way to do it is to find the right balance between price and quality. This right balance is very important for the companies and effective teamwork helps them to accomplish this goal. If a company does not use its resources in the most effective way and also does not use effective teamwork, then it will eventually suffer from its decisions. For...

...SES Indicators There are 126 racial and ethnic categories in the US (Winker, 2004). It is a well-recognized fact that many racial and ethnic minorities face unique health challenges and suffer from poorer health outcomes (Dorsey, 2011). The importance of adequately reporting and collecting relevant SES parameters, including race and ethnicity is evident. However, the question of how to properly categorize, measure, and report some of these parameters has been in the center of discussion for some time. In accordance with the Affordable Care Act, The department of Health and Human Services (HHS) came up with the new data standards for the collection of race, ethnicity, sex, primary language, and disability status. It is required by law that these standards be used in all the national population health surveys (Dorsey, 2011). The new standards have been in use since November 2011, and their stated purpose is to “understand the causes of health disparities, design effective responses, and evaluate progress in decreasing health disparities” (Dorsey, 2011). With the deepening social disparities and the effect they have on the nation’s health, it is essential to have a well-established system of documentation. It is also important for the researchers to select and appropriately measure all the indicators relevant for their study. HHS’s new data standards include fourteen racial and five ethnic categories, with the option to include more than one category within each group. When...

...Resumen: La Odisea, Homero Elaborado por: Mariela Mata. La Odisea es un poema épico griego que data del año 700 A.C. y se le atribuye a Homero. El poema, que se cree fue transmitido, en primera instancia, de forma oral, consta de 24 cantos y fue escrito usando una métrica llamada hexámetro dactílico, es decir, cada línea de la Odisea original estaba formada por seis unidades o pies. Argumento Odiseo es un héroe griego y el Rey de Ítaca, quién, después de pelear la guerra con Troya, le toma diez años regresar a casa. Penélope es su esposa y Telémaco su hijo. La Odisea cuenta la historia de Odiseo, uno de los héroes griegos más famosos, y su travesía de diez años a casa al final de la Guerra con Troya. En su camino se topa con hechiceras, cíclopes, dioses furiosos, entre otros. En casa, en Ítaca, su esposa, Penélope, y su hijo, Telémaco, son acechados por varios nobles y solteros codiciosos que creen que Odiseo está muerto y están buscando su fortuna. Eventualmente Odiseo regresa a casa y los mata a todos. La travesía del héroe abarca desde Troya, en Asia, menor pasando por las islas del Mar Mediterráneo (cerca de Italia) y de regreso a Ítaca, Grecia. Resumen de los Cantos Canto I: Homero comienza la Odisea invocando a la Musa para que cuente lo sucedido a Odiseo después de destruir Troya. En una asamblea de los dioses griegos, Atenea aboga por la vuelta del héroe a su hogar, quien lleva muchos años en la isla de la ninfa Calipso. La misma Atenea, tomando la figura de Mentes,...

...Business Communication Trends Simone N. Gary COM/285 August 30, 2010 Gary Smith Business Communication Trends Communication plays a very important role in an organization. In fact, it is said to be the life wire of the organization. Nothing in the universe, human or otherwise, that does not communicate; though the means of communication may be very different. Communication is an essential component for a business to be successful. “Without a good line of communication mistakes will be made that could cost the company wasted time, wasted effort, lost goodwill, and legal issues” (Locker & Kienzler, 2008). New discoveries within the technological world are made every day. These changes are causing businesses to upgrade quickly and adjust to the new technology. One of the major changes is communication. Businesses are now communicating though social-networking tools, portable media players, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and cell phones. Communication helps me manage daily activities. I am employed as a financial coordinator for Fresenius Medical Care. Upon my arrival at work I set up my computer with needed programs to assist my patients. My position requires that I travel to several facilities within Texas on a daily basis, so my employer communicates with me via email, instant messenger, or my company cell phone. Without these lines of communication within my company, I would not have access to vital information to perform my job. “The...

...Since 1973, Caterpillar has remanufactured diesel engines and components for its own machines and power systems. What began as a small operation to meet the product support needs of our truck engine customers has grown to include more than 700 products, including hydraulics, drivetrain, fuel systems and even tires. In 2004, Caterpillar announced plans to offer remanufacturing services to other Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). Remanufacturing Services business takes a Caterpillar core competency into new markets. We entered the automotive remanufacturing business on Sept. 1, 2004, by acquiring Williams Technologies in the United States and Wealdstone Engineering in the United Kingdom. Since then we’ve grown quickly in the auto, industrial and electronics markets and formed key alliances with OEMs in related industries. Reman’s contribution to diversified growth continued with the acquisition of Progress Rail. This exciting new business marks Caterpillar’s entry into a full line of rail aftermarket services, including remanufacturing. In December 2006, Progress Rail became a separate division within Caterpillar. We recently expanded our presence in Asia with the opening of a facility in Shanghai, China. In mid-2007, we completed our acquisition of Eurenov S.A., expanding our European presence in automotive and industrial engine and transmission remanufacturing. In January of 2007, Reman acquired Franklin Power Products and International Fuel Systems, based in Franklin...
