...if we only believe the things that we want to see. Sometimes the truth is the only thing that hurts us the most. But in the long run, would you rather live in a world full of lies than to live with the truth? Many Filipinos believe that the youth is the hope of this nation. But I believe that the youth is not simply the hope of the nation. The youth itself is the nation. Every little decision of the youth affects the future of the society. Every little deed makes up someone’s history. Every youth can be a hero in their own paths. But are they given that chance and opportunity to change the nation’s future? The word of the youth is commonly considered to be futile. In the society we live in someone’s worth or sense is measured by the age and by the number of wrinkles on one’s forehead. The truth is, the voice of the youth is more sincere and more straightforward. It is an honest voice which is overruled by emotions without any limitations or thoughts to consider because the youth is as innocent as an infant but not as aged as an elder. It means that the youth is like a hybrid of two magnificent states, the pureness of the mind of a child and the wisdom developed through time floating in a place of equilibrium. What can the youth do? What can the youth contribute to ease that pain that was inflicted to the Filipinos by the Filipinos themselves? The youth cannot do much with their physical prowess, nor can we help by our financial capabilities. All we can do is to become an instrument...

...A phoenix I know from watching Days of Our Lives forever means someone that never dies, as in Stefano DiMera no matter how many times and ways that man is killed he always comes back to life. So, in this story the name Phoenix Jackson was chosen rightly fully for her main character in the story “A Worn Path” as a symbolic mythological creature that lives forever; moreover, the fact that after a phoenix is dead for the fifth time they reincarnate and being again (“Phoenix: Symbol Analysis”, n.d.). Phoenix in this story was determined to the end to accomplish her goals with a gran resilience, failure was not an option, no matter how many times she had to try.

...mission. What is their mission now? How has their mission changed, if at all? John Sperling started the Apollo Group, parent company of the University of Phoenix, in 1976. Sperling’s goal was to revolutionize orthodox higher education, and most people would say that he has done just that. Rather than catering to 18-22 year olds looking to find themselves, Sperling focused on the then-neglected market of working adults. He also recruited working professionals as teachers, rather than tenured professors. Most radical of all, while nearly all other universities are nonprofit, Sperling ran his university to make money. From the Apollo Group’s website, “Apollo Group, Inc. was founded in 1973 in response to a gradual shift in higher education demographics from a student population dominated by youth to one in which approximately half the students are adults and over 80 percent of whom work full-time. Apollo's founder, John Sperling, believed—and events proved him right—that lifelong employment with a single employer would be replaced by lifelong learning and employment with a variety of employers. Lifelong learning requires an institution dedicated solely to the education of working adults.” The case also provides the following UOP quote: By providing an accessible, high quality education, University of Phoenix is producing successful outcomes—graduates who are better positioned to enjoy the professional financial and personal benefits that a degree brings, as well...

...University of Phoenix SEC430 - Principles of Investigation Bus Radio Theft Investigation This paper discusses the bus theft investigation scenario from the simulation web link. This work will describe documents, interviews, direct observations, and tactics for conducting the investigation. The questions asked, technological tools, and documentation will also be described. During the last three years there have been thefts of radios from buses in the Kellsey Unified School District vehicle yard. Most of the thefts occur one to three weeks after installation of the radios. Interviews included the security guard, Suley Smiley. He stated that he was on duty but did not see anything. Earl Folley the transportation director said that he was just dropping off his wife. Documentation included the footprint on bus 19. The footprint was photographed and documented in the notes in case it matches the foot of a future suspect. The area near where the radio was taken from bus 19 was also photographed and fingerprinted. Technological tools included photography and fingerprinting on bus 19. In practice an investigator would likely take pen and paper notes then probably use a computer to author final reports. In practice an investigator might also use a recording device to preserve witness statements. Other sources of information might include employee personnel files and background checks. The files and the checks might reveal persons who have a history of criminal...

...Life has its light and dark moments, but sometimes it feel like those dark moments overpower the light and happy ones. It seems like no matter what we try to do, it doesn’t get any better. If anything, it feels like it only got worse. However, even in the darkest of times, light can creep into our lives. That little bit of light can be just enough for someone to latch onto for hope. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix was directed by David Yates with Warner Bros. Pictures helping market the film. This magic-filled 138 minute-long movie stars Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter; along with Emma Watson playing Hermione Granger and Rupert Grint as Ron Weasley. This movie was rated PG-13 due to intense violence and some images in the movie, though not graphic, may be too extreme for a younger audience. Based off of the author J.K. Rowling’s critically acclaimed Harry Potter series, this movie adaptation brings her fifth book to life. As the rest of the Harry Potter movies have started, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix begins in the muggle world with Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) living with the Dursleys; it starts at an empty playground where Harry is tormented by his cousin Dudley. Everything seems okay for the both of them until the scenery changes into something like a horror movie. Harry and Dudley are attacked by a couple of rogue dementors in a tunnel, leaving Harry with only one way to defend himself and Dudley; with magic. News of this arrives at the Ministry...

...WEEK 1 DISCUSSION QUESTION 1-3 DQ1: What are some ways in which receivers of messages provide feedback when listening to or reading a message? What effect does this have on the message? Provide examples Receivers of message provides feedback through body language, eye contract, facial expression or verbal acknowledgment. This effects the sender and the message by either having a positive or negative effect and or determines either a favorable or negative respones, depending on the feedback given by the receiver on the content of the message which might effect the context of the message. For example, if a person rolls their eyes, it can be they are disinterested, dissatisfied or simply aren't listening to the sender. This has a negative effect on the message because it will likely get lost in translation. DQ2: Which step in the communication process do you consider to be the most important? Why do you think this? Which of these steps is the most uncomfortable for you? Why is this? How might you work to change this? I believe the most important step in the communication process is the MESSAGE. The message comprised of ideas, thoughts, feelings, or opinions to be communicated. Sometimes it can be short and concise or as complex as quantum physics. It all depends on what is needed to get across to the receiver and how it interpreted it. ENCODING would be uncomfortable/difficult part.

...by the symbolism surrounding the characters and the conflicts that are presented. “A Worn Path” is a character story told in a third-person point of view about an elderly, colored woman and her journey along a path she has taken many time before. Throughout the story Phoenix is involved in conflict by struggling against nature, social conditions and against her own physical circumstances. From the characters name alone we instantly envision a strong individual, the name implies a mythological creature that it said to be as large as an eagle, with brilliant scarlet and gold plumage. It was said that only one phoenix existed at any one time with a life expectancy of at least 500 years. As the phoenix approached the end of life, it would build a nest, set fire to it and would die in fire to only rise from the ashes and be stronger. Ironically, Phoenix has her hair in a red rag which correlates with the scarlet plumage of the ancient bird. Her name combined with the first two paragraphs deliver a meticulous description of our character: Far out in the country there was an old Negro woman with her head tied in a red rag, coming along a path through the pinewoods. Her name was Phoenix Jackson. She was very old and small and she walked slowly in the dark pine shadows, moving a little from side to side in her steps, with the balanced heaviness and lightness of a pendulum in a grand-father clock. She carried a thin, small cane made from an umbrella, and with...

...easier to regulate these factors inside an organization rather than with an outsourced partner. Outsourcing can be a cost-effective idea but many times there are hidden costs that involved in signing contracts and signing contracts across international boundaries can pose a serious threat. An outsourced vendor may be catering to the expertise-needs of multiple organizations at a time which could result in a complete lack of focus on the tasks for Tim and Cyndy business objectives. Tim and Cyndy must determine their website and marketing chief purpose. When companies begin their marketing campaigns and websites, they must have their main purpose clearly in mind. It’s very possible that Tim and Cyndy are concerned with the bottom line of Phoenix Service Company and Federal Hill Trading Company. They are keeping in mind the costs to run their companies and how much will it be worth in the long run. To be successful, Tim and Cyndy have got to look at both of their organization’s needs and make those primary when looking at solutions that will benefit them. There are many possible solutions that Tim and Cyndy can keep in mind that will help them maintain their businesses and continue to be successful. Tim and Cyndy must continue to build their brand.

...A most impressive place I’ve ever been After seeing so many views, a place kept occupying the most in my heart, which is named after Phoenix. A county of western Hunan province on the Luxi province border , at the south of Huaihua zone, covered an area of 1759.1 k㎡. Because of the rain, it has already turned into dark when we arrived. A blast of wind firstly blowed the smell of Phoenix County, mixed with the flavor of wet earth and grass, into my nose. It refreshed me soon and took all the discomfort away. As soon as I placed my luggage, I flew out from the hotel and couldn’t wait to unveil the view any more. In the dim light, I began to observe this lovely village. Even though it was evening, the phoenix was still shining and touching. On the both side of the road, fascinating bars lined abreast. Happy laughers and cheerful voices came out, enticing smell of food drifted in the air. A range of ethnic goods displayed at the roadside stands. The Tuo River just goes across the county from the west side to the east side, separating this town into two parts. However, those two parts are connected by a special kind of bridge, called ‘hundred- step bridge’. Strictly speaking, it’s not a bridge but a construction built with hundreds of respective stones. My foot stamped down on those stones as discreet as possible. Noises continued spreading from side to side until the night was filled with boisterous scenes. Bright lights reflected upon the water, breezes swept over causing many...
