...Running a Camp: What is Absolutely Necessary? Every aspect of creating and implementing a workable plan to run a camp is important. There are many different factors that will either positively or negatively affect whether the camp will run smoothly or crash and burn. Some aspects of running a camp can take a few blows, but other areas cannot. This paper will debate the usage of some of the different areas that make up a camp, and whether or not they are absolutely necessary to the full affect to make the camp work. To give an adequate picture of how a camp is formed, the best way to imagine it is to think of a skeletal system. The bones of the camp are the strategic planning and design of the camp itself; if an idea wasn’t there, the camp would never get off the ground. The staff and facilities itself are the muscles of the camp. Without them, the camp director would never be able to get things done, and the participants would not gain anything from the experience. Risk management is a big part of camp life, so in a way it would be the skin. The skin protects everything inside, but can take a few blows for the greater cause. Everything else can be considered as the veins. Marketing, finance, food services, volunteers and transportation services are things that most often get over looked, but could conceivably be the most important to the overall operation. This could be because they are seen as after effects; especially for camps that have no need for them. All together...

...My perfect summer I never imagined a wonderful summer as the one I have spent in Logan. Global Academy 2012 gave me the opportunity to experience the most unforgettable moments of my life. Despite the cultural shock, the lonely I felt at the beginning and all de embarrassing moments I had, Logan have been the perfect place for me to grow as a person, to improve my English, to make new friends, and to become more independent. I just can describe this summer as my best summer ever, my perfect summer. My most memorable moment in Logan was the ropes course because I was doing really challenging things, things that I never thought I could do. After I achieve my goals at the ropes course and overcame all the challenging things I felt a great satisfaction and self-realization. At the beginning I was shock by American culture but as soon as I started understanding it I enjoy every single moment in Logan. I really loved my first academic track excursions. I went to a restaurant in a small town called Ogden and I tried the Mormon Muffin, it was so delicious. I also had a great time at the Independence Day celebration at Rommie Stadium, the fireworks were amazing. I had never seen so many fireworks in one night. I was so amazed and I took a lot of pictures with my camera. These experiences gave me the opportunity of talk with native speakers and improve my English skills. Shopping in Logan is one of the things I enjoyed the most; the clothes, shoes, and almost everything are so...

...Each year in Oregon State thousands of juvenile offenders commit crimes against innocent victims. As a result, the states' juvenile courts are eternally bogged down by more cases than they can handle, detention centers don't have enough beds to house all of the new offenders, and an alarming number of offenders serve their time and then return to detention several more times before finally cleaning up their acts or graduating to the adult justice system and presumably, prison (Kulongoski). By far the worst flaw in the current system comes from the lack of consensus on the part of policy makers and voting public over what should be done about the problem. By focusing almost exclusively on punitive measures they are missing a valuable opportunity to rehabilitate young people and to guide them toward becoming responsible and contributing members of society. Instead of institutionalizing suggestible minds, guaranteeing that every third person that is locked up will be back at least two or three more times as a juvenile (Parker, 2006), Oregon lawmakers should support the development and utilization of wilderness therapy programs which are quickly proving to be able to drastically reduce the recidivism rates among their graduates. It is important to acknowledge up front that in some cases detention facilities do serve an important social function. It is not the purpose of this paper to argue for the dismantling of these facilities altogether. Getting violent criminals - those convicted...

...PM 592 Project Cost and Schedule Control Executive Summary After reviewing the project costs, schedules, and earned values I have realized that there are some concerns with the schedule and costs. I have found that there are some tasks that have put the project behind schedule and over budget. After reviewing the project closely and making the adjustments by requesting and adding additional percentage for resources to the builder, plumber, electrician, hvac, and the ferris wheel supplier it will bring the project back on track and under budget. Which if you review the revised schedule you will find that the new schedule will still allow the theme park to open on time and within budget. Schedule 1 [pic] Performance Analysis Based on the Earned Value Management I have found that there are a couple stages behind schedule and once complete will end up over budget. Phase 1.5 Joists and Roof Deck is currently at 76% completion and is behind schedule, according to the charts once this is complete will end up finishing late and over budget. The responsibility of this task is on the Builder. Phase 1.7 Rough Carpentry is currently at 65% completion and also is behind schedule, this phase also will end up finishing late and over budget.

...Children Should Play Outdoors A cardinal flies in and perches on a fence post. The little girl spots is and calls out “a bird!” She runs as fast as she can towards the bird, but the bird flies away. The little girl quickly turns her attention to an inchworm crawling up a picket. There are many reasons why parents should promote and support outdoor play for their children. Children benefit from being outdoors in many ways, such as environmental education, health benefits and self-confidence. Children need to be outdoors to gain hands-on outdoor learning, or environmental education. There are many ways that children can obtain environmental education. Lessons can be taught outdoors. There are many science projects that can be done outdoors. Schools can have field trips to local, state and national parks. Environmental education has become such an important topic that legislation is being passed to support it. In 1990, the U.S. Congress passed the National Environment Education Act, allowing the Environmental Protection Agency to create environmental education initiatives at the federal level. Author Cathryn Creno describes the passage of a “No Child Left Inside Act” which would mandate that schools and parks have a relationship to promote environmental education would provide school children with more outdoor exposure. An important aspect of environmental education is sustainability. Parents and teachers can “Educate our children and our peers to create a society...

...Due to an increasing number of inexperienced climbers crowding Mount Everest’s slope, endangering themselves and fellow climbers, the governments of Tibet and Nepal, as well as private guiding businesses, should distribute permits to only those who meet specific health and experience qualifications. Mount Everest contains many dangers, making the climb extremely hazardous even for the most experienced climbers. The route contains difficult climbing sections that can result in serious injury or death if not maneuvered through correctly. The Sherpa people are extremely skilled climbers and are acclimatized to the high altitudes of the mountain. However, this does not mean that they are invincible to the mountain's toughest climbing areas. Young Sherpa, Tenzing, fell 150 feet into a crevasse and was seriously injured on Everest (Krakauer 55). Even experienced climbers, like the Sherpa people, are at risk on the mountain’s treacherous slope. Along with the tough climb, the high altitudes and cold temperatures are potentially fatal. High Mountain Cerebral Edema and High Altitude Pulmonary Edema, while uncommon, are extremely dangerous and lead to death unless immediate actions are taken to stop it, such as descending to a lower altitude (Thetech.org). Climbers are also at risk of hypothermia due to the extremely cold temperatures experienced on the mountain. If the extreme altitudes and cold aren’t dangerous enough alone, there’s a constant chance for storms or avalanches to occur...

...Submission Guidelines for CEU MA/MSc Theses and PhD Dissertations (Revised and adopted by the CEU Senate 7 December 2007) The thesis or dissertation is the single most important element of a research degree. It is a test of the student’s ability to undertake and complete a sustained piece of independent research and analysis, and to write up that research in a coherent form according to the rules and conventions of the academic community. As the official language of study at CEU is English, students are required to write the thesis/dissertation in English to a standard that native speaker academics would find acceptable. A satisfactory thesis should not only be adequate in its methodology, in its analysis and in its argument, and adequately demonstrate its author’s familiarity with the relevant literature; it should also be written in correct, coherent language, in an appropriate style, correctly following the conventions of citation. It should, moreover, have a logical and visible structure and development that should at all times assist the reader’s understanding of the argument being presented and not obscure it. The layout and physical appearance of the thesis should also conform to university standards. The purpose of this document is to outline the standard requirements and guidelines that a master’s thesis or PhD dissertation (hereafter the term ‘thesis’ is used to cover both MA and PhD except where the PhD dissertation is distinguished) should adhere to in the area of...
