...How to PEE (literature, writer’s choice, D.O.S, Gatsby.....) Things to consider: Language Device – Alliteration, Simile, Personification, Antithesis, Epigram, Paradox, Juxtaposition, Metaphor, Rhetorical Question, Dramatic Irony, Hyperbole, Onomatopoeia E.g of Antithesis: • "Love is an ideal thing, marriage a real thing." (Goethe) • "Everybody doesn't like something, but nobody doesn't like Sara Lee." (advertising slogan) • "Hillary has soldiered on, damned if she does, damned if she doesn't, like most powerful women, expected to be tough as nails and warm as toast at the same time." (Anna Quindlen, "Say Goodbye to the Virago." Newsweek, June 16, 2003) • "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way." (Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities) • "I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dryrot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use...

...Point | Evidence | Explanation | All Scrooge cares about is his money. | ‘What’s Christmas time to you but a time for paying bills without money; a time for finding yourself a year older, but not an hour richer, a time for balancing your books.’ | This suggests that Scrooge believes that the economy is the main focus of Christmas, that nothing else should matter to an individual apart from the state of his finances. | Scrooge thinks people that like Christmas are insane. | ‘There’s another fellow, my clerk, with fifteen shillings a week, and a wife and a family, talking about a merry Christmas. I’ll retire to Bedlam’ | This demonstrates that Scrooge can’t understand how someone can have positive emotions and be in control of their finances; the very thought of mixing these two things seems crazy, Bedlam worthy. | Scrooge is a very hard, cold character. | ‘As solitary as an oyster.’ | This simile suggests that Scrooge is secretive, and self-contained, his character is hard and unyielding like the shell of an oyster. | Dickens suggests poor choices in lie haunt you after death. | ‘I wear the chain I forged in life, I made it link by link, and yard by yard; I grinded it on of my own free will.’ | This suggests that Marley’s poor choices in life are haunting him in death, t | | | | Point | Evidence | Explanation | Martin wants to be seen as cool by his friends and the people that he hangs around with | (p.30) | This demonstrates that Martin doesn’t want to be...

...I find this article very interesting and would never have realized the importance of fish pee to coral reef. As a scuba diver myself, I am aware that coral reefs are very important to the underwater environment and how important it is to not destroy them. Care must always be taken when we are around them because it takes more than 10,000 years for a coral reef to grow back, growing from three tenths of a centimeter to ten centimeters a year. Knowing that fish pee and other wastes can help coral reefs will help scientists save the coral reefs and could help rebuild the reefs that have been damaged. Seeing the cool, colorful coral is amazing and the fish swimming around creates a magical experience for scuba divers and snorkelers but...

...A Backstabbing Community “The saddest thing about betrayal is that it never comes from your enemies. It comes from friends and loved ones”- anonymous. The lottery made the community less united because nobody had compassion nor feelings towards each other. An example of friends going against each other in order to save themselves is when Mrs. Hutchinson claims Mr. Summers didn’t give Bill Hutchinson enough time to take the paper he wanted and her friends shouted, “Be a good sport, Tessie” and “All of us took the same chance” (Jackson 4). Friends are supposed to support each other, not want that person to die. The lottery makes the community less united because someone can be best friends with another person, but could get killed with stones by the same person the next day. Hence, nobody is friends with anybody. Another example of how detached the community is because of The lottery, is when Mrs. Delacroix selected a stone “so large she had to pick it up with both hands” and said, “Come on, hurry up” (5). These women were supposed to be Tessie’s friends yet one picked up a large stone and was eager to finish quickly. The message behind picking up the biggest stone is that there is no friendship or union when it comes to protecting their families. Everybody was happy Tessie was going to be killed and they, and their family members, were safe. The lottery made the community less united because when this event takes place, it discourages any feeling of empathy in the community...

...Pee-wee sports leagues are very popular in our society. Growing up, I have noticed that it has always been popular for parents to sign their kids up to participate in sports like soccer, dance, tee ball, and gymnastics at a very young age. Children appear to enjoy their participation since they get to make new friends and learn how to play a new game. However, around the time a kid exits the childhood phase of life and enters the early adolescence phase (at approximately 11 years) participation in sport decreases dramatically, especially in female adolescents. In a statistical overview of sport and recreation participation by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (2012), it was found that female participation rates dropped by 9.7% between...

...OMG I couldn't believe it, WE WERE THE CHAMPS!! Let me take you to the beginning. My 7th grade basketball season was approaching fast. I was so excited. We had a new coach, Coach Martin, but more exciting than anything I was finally out of Pee Wee Basketball. Our coach told all of my teammates that she may need extra players for the junior high team. I immediately starting working 10x harder. It was only a couple of weeks and Madison and I got called into her office. By then I had totally forgot about the whole “getting moved up” thing. On our way to the office I felt nervous, and scared. So many things were running through my head. What if I was in trouble for the write up I got the day before? Everything was quiet. Coach Martin...

...Dale Spender (1980) women are aware that male superiority is a myth and they deal with this knowledge in numerous ways. Their response to 'enlightenment' may range from disillusionment to elation, from masking their feelings in an attempt to hide their disappointment and preserve the myth, to outrightly declaring their knowledge in an attempt to explode it. But male superiority is not to be confused with male power: only one is a myth which can be exposed and eradicated by knowledge, by a change in consciousness. While they are different, however, they are also inextricably linked, for male superiority has served as a justification for male power. Any exposure of the false nature of male superiority, while not a direct assault on male power, is an indirect attack which undermines it. If and when sufficient members of society no longer give consensus to the myth of male superiority, if and when they no longer act in a manner which acquiesces in that superiority and permits it to go unchallenged, then, rather than being taken for granted, that power will need to be defended or transformed. It is because males have had power that they have been in a position to construct the myth of male superiority and to have it accepted; because they have had power they have been able to 'arrange' the evidence so that it can be seen to substantiate the myth. The myth was made a long time ago and for centuries it has been fostered by women and men so that now it is deeply embedded in virtually...

...Food Product Design FMI Reveals Grocery Shopper Trends October 29, 2010 0 Comments Posted in News, Economics, Market Research, Market Trends, Consumer Preference, Dairy, Snack Foods, Beverages, Frozen / Refrigerated Foods, Confectionery, Fruits / Vegetables, Bakery / Cereal, Private Label Print ARLINGTON, Va.—It’s all about the deal for today’s grocery shopper, according to “U.S. Grocery Shopper Trends 2010," a report from the Food Marketing Institute (FMI). “Shoppers have gained a renewed appreciation for saving money through home-cooked meals, comparison shopping, store selection, brand preference, coupons and more," said FMI President and Chief Executive Officer Leslie G. Sarasin. “They choose to save money by eating at home but they also believe, overwhelmingly, that the food they eat at home is healthier than eating away from home. It is clear supermarkets are positioned to help their customers save money and help them make healthier choices when it comes to food." According to the FMI report, shoppers are spending an average of $99.90 weekly on groceries, up 1.5 percent compared to last year’s average of $98.40. The three top reasons for choosing a primary store are: Price (75 percent); high-quality fruits and vegetables (73 percent); and items on sale or money-saving specials (67 percent). With saving money at the top of their minds, consumers are buying only what they need and seeking the best value for their money, says the FMI report. They are also using...

...with bathrooms. When someone uses up all the hot water and you have to use cold water to take a shower. Peeing on the toilet. People that can’t put the toilet seat down. Leaving your pee and poop in the toilet don’t you know how to flush? The toilet paper not the right way you have to pull it from the top not the bottom and if you have no more toilet paper put a new roll on for the next person. When you use all the hot water you are taking too hot of a shower to to long so if you have it really hot turn it down so that the next person has some hot water to use when he or she is taking a shower. And if you are taking a really long shower put a egg timer and do like 5 min. so that way you still have water that is hot to use. Boys have a problem of lifting the toilet seat and so they some how miss the big hole that is there for them to pee in. if peeing is not fun put frout loops in there so you have something to acme at or just wipe your pee of the seat with a wipe. And girls keep sitting tell you are done taking a pee don’t just get up in the middle of your pee and pee on the seat and have you ever heard of toilet paper that helps prevent pee getting on the seat too you know.

...Classical Conditioning: Association of Interest Led to Conditioning Sandra Davis PSY 390 May 21, 2012 Brian Newbury Classical Conditioning: Association of Interest Led to Conditioning Classical conditioning, synonymous with Pavlovian and respondent conditioning, is one of two types of learning (the other type of learning is operant conditioning) that provide a systematic approach to understanding human and nonhuman behavior and the potentiality of changing behavior. Learning significantly affects our way of living, functioning, and survival. Learning's predictability qualities assist in directing behavior. Kowalski & Westen (2009) affirm, "Learning is essentially about prediction-predicting the future from past experience and using these predictions to guide behavior" (p. 156). The most rudimental aspect of the theory of classical conditioning transcribes to the conditioning of a neutral stimulus to elicit a response similar to the unconditioned response brought about by the unconditioned stimulus. Theory of Classical Conditioning The classical conditioning procedure involves introducing a neutral stimulus that in due course becomes a conditioned stimulus; this systematic approach to conditioning enlists a formerly neutral stimulus to elicit a response after pairing with a stimulus that already automatically elicits that same response. In other words, an unconditioned reflex (response) occurs naturally, without prior learning; salivation, the unconditioned response...

...Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure caught my ear because of the way it opened with multiple short and loud chords which gives off the sense of someone being in a hurry, while having fun. The colorful and joyful music reflects Pee-Wee’s childish and mostly carefree personality. In the film, Pee-Wee journeyed to the Alamo to find his favorite bike. The urgency that Pee-Wee was in and the amount of distance he had to travel was expressed through how the music was played. There were cluttered short chords followed by longer somewhat spaced out ones in themes and variations form. The music played for Mars Attacks was very deep and strong. A constant beat made by what I believe was the bass drum that gave the image of soldiers marching like in the movie. The choir’s chanting gave the piece that “other-worldly” atmosphere, which was excellent because the movie was about...

...Of course, this is not a perfect solution t and it does have its downsides. For example, as much as we want to say you can ditch your vet, we can’t. Your cat’s refusal to pee in the litter box could be due to a number of reasons, and some of these reasons could be serious, like an illness. On the other hand, the techniques that Sarah Richards shares in the guide really do have the potential to help in many different cases, and we truly believe that if you’ve tired of dealing with a stinky and dirty home due to your cat’s misfires, or if you simply want to be stress free and avoid expensive cleaning costs, then the Cat Spraying No More could be a great option for you.

With all these things in mind, we don’t see why you should not take the Cat Spraying No More...

...Baljot hayward enlgish 921 potty The dog is a loving companion to a man. He is happy to go everywhere with his master. He shows his affection for his master by wagging his tail and licking his hand or face. Dogs were not always like this. Overtime humans have domesticated dogs into making them loving pets. At one point dogs were able to pee wherever they want, eat whatever they want, and do whatever they want. Now we provide our dogs boundaries and train them to become our best friends. Eating and playing comes naturally to dogs just as it does to humans when they are born. Just like human babies one thing that does not come naturally to dogs is being potty trained. Adding a furry litte friend to the family sounds like a lot of fun and many would not think of it as such a difficult task to do since all dogs do is eat and play which obviously does not need to be taught to then but the hard part comes when it is time for them to relieve themselves and they choose do to this task on your living room floors, bedrooms, and bathrooms.
