...Mary Ann Bellinger Eng 121 Instructor McKoy -Taylor Descriptive essay My First Cruise I remember like it was yesterday the year I decided to take my first vacation without the kids. My fiancé and I went on a week long cruise to Mexico. Neither one of us had ever been on a cruise so it was a new experience for the both of us. We needed to be in New Orleans for departure so we drove the six hours from Jonesboro, Arkansas to New Orleans, Louisiana. My fiancé and I used this time to talk, make plans for the future and fantasize about our week away from the kids and work. We left before the sun was fully up when the sky is blue with fluffy white clouds and not a sign of rain anywhere not to mention Hurricane Irene. We enjoyed the night on bourbon street eating famous Louisiana gumbo and poor boy sandwiches, drinking wine and sight seeing. We rode the trolley through the famous garden district. We walked the pier where we to board our cruise ship. There was so many cruise ships docked there some were coming in others were waiting to depart. The boarding of cruise ships takes as long as boarding an airplane. First you have to check in then go to your boarding area. Then you have to go through customs and check your luggage that is not seen again until you arrive at your cabin where it will be waiting for you. From there everyone is to meet at the emergency exits to hear the proper procedures to follow in case of an emergency. After the brief introduction...

...Cruising has recently gained significant importance as one of the fastest growing niche sectors within the tourism industry around the world. In Bangladesh we have started it with a longer vision. Modern cruises with ever-larger vessels have transformed the ship from merely transporting tourists to various destinations to become a resort in its own right (Kester, 2002; Papathanasis & Beckmann, 2011; Weaver, 2005). With the extended facilities offered, competitive pricing and aggressive marketing campaigns we think our cruise business will give its guests an elite type of vacation which they can remember for their rest of life. HR Strategy of Cruise Business Cruise business is simple managing a floating resort. This business is very closely related with hospitality rather than sport, recreation, entertainment, beauty, health and therapy. On the other hand if the human resource management is not proper in such case this would not bring any effective result for such kind of business. The HR personnel of this cruise will also maintain different partnerships with different department of this cruise liner in order to serve all parties in the best interest of the business. By confronting different issues and getting feedback it will report to the manager so that the performance of the overall team can be better. HR personnel also should develop business strategies that are in alignment with the cruise’s business objectives, by focusing on all aspects of the human asset. Continuously...

...Sima Urale portrays a typical Samoan family who have recently moved to New Zealand, the struggles that they face and the parents’ reliance on their eldest son to take care of his siblings on their behalf. I really enjoyed watching this short film because it captured and explained a lot of the issues the Pacific Youth are facing today in society. Watching this film allowed me to see a lot of similarities in what we are learning in this course. Respect is of the essence within many Pacific Island cultures. In this film we see this through the character of Tino. Tino’s facial expressions often show how he is afraid of his parents and that he has no choice but to obey. As Pacific people we can relate to Tino and his siblings as our parents constantly remind us of the importance of respect. Thus, we become cautious of the words we use when speaking to our elders and tend to be less open because of the ‘le va’ aspect of our culture. In order to break the silence of our young Pacific many strategies have been put into place to break them out of this norm by nurturing and empowering our youth instead of putting them down (Mason 2011). The use of black and white in the film portrays how the reality for Pacific youth is different from how they are portrayed by the media as being vibrant and outgoing. Yet, many Pacific youth feel trapped within their environment. The black and white colour of the film also forces viewers to feel the vulnerability Tino was feeling throughout the film...

...of the United States and northwest Mexico. These iguanas are marked with dark spots, lives in burrows, and feeds on the flowers (Iguana). The most well-known desert iguana is the chuckwalla and it is the largest in the United States. The chuckwalla is able to inflate itself to make it difficult for predators to attack when in small places (Iguana) Marine iguanas only include the one marine lizard that is found in the Galapagos, which is the Amblrhynchus cristatus. This iguana is able to forage in the sea, making it unique to the Iguanidae family.

The division allows excellent opportunities to partake the wild salmon and to discover the gray whale, which returns annually to the Washington State coastal region during migration, the feeding and producing season.

...Midway The Battle of Midway was fought over land and at sea near the small United States Pacific base of Midway Island; this sea and air battle “represents the high water mark of Japan's Pacific Ocean war.” (Naval History and Heritage Command, 2010, p.1) Thus, prior to this battle, Japan’s Navy possessed sea and air superiority over the United States and could choose when and where to attack. “After Midway the two opposing fleets were essentially equals, and the United States soon took the offensive.” (Naval History and Heritage Command, 2010, p.1) The Battle of Midway was a strategic point when the United States turned the tide of World War II in the Pacific because; the United States Navy stopped the Japanese advance and they put the Japanese Navy on the defensive. By March 1942, Japan’s Navy high command initial goals were achieved easier than what they had planed. Therefore, they had turned their sights into making an offensive war plan and not to transition into a “strategic defensive posture, but there were still disputes on how to maintain the offensive” (Hone, 2013, p.1). Most historians speculate, “Moving further south in the Pacific would isolate Australia, and possibly remove that nation as a threat to the freshly expanded Japanese Empire.” (Naval History and Heritage Command, 2010, p.1) Therefore, the June Midway Battle turned out to be the most damaging battle of the Pacific war for the Japanese. In this new history author Symonds describes it as "the most complete...

...Section I: Opening Statement “Petroleum production and use is fundamental to our current way of life” (Environment Canada, 2011) We will be arguing in favour of British Columbia supporting the construction of the Northern Gateway Pipeline. Throughout our brief, we will provide several arguments reinforcing our position. In addition to the questions provided by the Hearing Panel, we found it extremely important and pertinent to address economic implications of the construction and functioning of the pipeline. For this reason, these elements will be discussed in Section IV of our brief. We chose to omit a couple of Questions of Analysis in favour of expanding on others that we felt were more relevant and necessary to our argument. We hold the belief that the potential benefits of the Northern Gateway Pipeline outweigh the potential costs; reasons for which will become evident in this written submission. Section II: Questions of Fact: Answered 1. Will the pipeline be running above or below ground? The vast majority of the pipeline will be buried up to a meter underground. The only exceptions will be select water crossings where it is safer to run the pipeline above the water crossing. (Enbridge Northern Gateway Project, 2013) 2. What is the lifespan of the project? The project will have a lifespan of 30 years (Enbridge Northern Gateway Project). 3. What is being transported in the pipeline? There are 2 pipelines. One is the oil pipeline and the other is the condensate...

...Abstract Far in the South Pacific Ocean there is an Island called Kava. This Island is not very big but the government of that island wanted to grow their tourist population, so they have called on Marriott Hotel Company to build a resort. Marriott CEO Bill Marriott has called me (Nik), Chris, and Alex in to his office to let us know about our latest project. When we reached Kava’s airport we meet with the Governor and he greeted us along with his staff. The governor appointed us with one of his assistants named John to show us around the Island so we can learn its history and also if we had any questions. Next my team and I looked into the economy of the Island and we found out that Kava is a poor country with despicable living arrangements in some parts of the island because over 50% of the population is under 15 years of age.

...Marshall Islanders: Migration Patterns and Health Care Challenges NUR 440 February 9, 2015 Susan Maxwell Marshall Islanders: Migration Patterns and Health Care Challenges Marshallese come from the Marshall Islands in the Pacific Ocean. “The U.S. military used some of the islands to test nuclear weapons from 1947 to 1962” (Carpenter, n.d.). In 1954, the largest atomic bomb was dropped on one of the islands, and the strength of the bomb was 1000 times stronger than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima (Carpenter, n.d.). The fall out of the radiation was felt on many of the islands (Carpenter, n.d.). The radiation has caused many health problems including tuberculosis, hypertension, thyroid tumors, leprosy, birth anomalies, genetic mutations, increased risk of diabetes and a depressed immune system (Duke 2014). The islands gained their independence in 1986. Under a Compact of Free Association between the two countries any Marshallese with a valid passport can come to the United States legally, find a job and stay as long as he or she likes" (Carpenter, n.d.). Northwest Arkansas, Springdale, in particular, has one of the largest Marshallese groups in the United States with approximately 6000 people (Duke, 2014). Marshallese moved to Arkansas because of the relatively lower cost of living, increased availability of unskilled jobs, and increased accessibility of education. Marshallese are a vulnerable population in the United States related to their increased health problems, decreased...
