...The drawing pin. In this essay, I intend to write about the advantages and disadvantages about a drawing pin. I will also write about the key features of a drawing pin. These include; • Thumb Tacks - long heads, can be used as hooks • Drawing Pins - flat plastic heads • Giant Thumb Tacks - easy grip • Hexagonal Pins- paper labels on heads for coding • Map Pins - coloured heads for coding • Pyramid Pins - coloured heads for coding • All pins in assorted colours only Drawing pins are a short nail or pin used to fasten items to a wall or to a board which may be used in displays and intended to be inserted by hand, generally without the assistance of tools. Basic History Edwin Moore invented the "push-pin" in 1900 and founded the Moore Push-Pin Company. Moore described the push-pin as a pin with a handle. Later, in 1904, in Germany, a clockmaker Johann Kirsten invented the flat-headed thumb tacks for use with drawings. Components A drawing pin has two basic components: the head, often made of plastic, metal or wood, and the body, usually made of steel, brass, tin or iron. Many head designs are often flat, domed, spherical, cylindrical and a variety of heads such as hearts or stars. Drawing pins heads also come in a variety of colours. These can be particularly useful to mark different locations on a map. Some drawing pins are designed to have the body cut out of the head and bent downward to produce a tack. Drawing pins are really useful...

...Pin curls have been around for decades, and for good reason. The technique is full-proof, which is why professional hairstylists and celebrities continue to use it. Keep reading to learn how to create glamorous, silky curls in a matter of minutes. The best way to start this look is with clean hair. Wash hair with your normal shampoo and conditioner, and then towel dry until it is only semi-damp. Apply a frizz-fighting crème, and proceed to blow dry hair straight. Gather the essential pin-curl materials: setting lotion, bobby pins and a rat tail comb. Make sure that you place your pins in an easily accessible place, preferably in front of a mirror. Begin by applying a bit of setting lotion to a one-inch section of hair; this will make strands malleable, and more likely to hold a curl. Wrap the ends of the hair around two fingers, circling twice. Proceed to roll the hair up towards the scalp in a tight loop. Be sure to loop the hair in a circle without actually twisting the hair itself, as twisting the strands can affect the integrity of the curl. Once you have rolled the hair all the way up to the scalp, gently secure the curl with two bobby pins, crossing over the loop of hair in an “x” pattern. Repeat the process until you have pinned the entire head of hair. Wrap a silk scarf around your head and apply gentle heat to the hair, using a blow dryer on the lowest setting. Remove the scarf and allow hair to cool. Gently remove the bobby pins to reveal a head...

...little face lift is the welfare system. This past fiscal year it was reported that the government spent $75 billion dollars on the food stamp program and over $700 million was lost in fraudulent activity (Pianin 2012). Fraud, waste, and abuse are rampant in the food stamp program; therefore, the US government should overhaul the current system utilizing a more efficient biometric pin in chip card system. Tackling problems in the welfare system can be daunting without a clear vision. There are many theories about what changes would be more beneficial. It is evident that fraud in the system causes a great loss. To understand just how the food stamp program can be improved, an understanding of the program must be established. Currently the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) no longer issues out paper “food stamps” but has moved on to a program called Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or SNAP (USDA 2012). When a U.S. citizen is enrolled into the SNAP program the local welfare office issues out an Electronic Benefits Transfer card or EBT card. These cards are used as pin activated debit cards which are loaded up monthly with a fixed amount of funds. The benefits holder can then go to a local vendor that accepts the EBT card and they are able to purchase food items that are on a government approved list. When taking a glimpse of this system, it looks fairly simple and forthright but the fact is there are people that use this simplicity to dupe the...

Fortællingen er komprimeret og kan sammenlignes med digte i modsætning til f.eks. novellefilm som er flerstrengede og sammenlignes med noveller samt har en længere spilletid (15-40 minutter). Filmen er fra 1995. Instruktør: Mats-Olof Olsson og den varer 8 min. Kort om filmen: Kortfilmen handler om en flok svenske drenge, som aldersmæssigt befinder sig i starten af puberteten. Disse drenge er meget betagede af kvinder, og bruger meget tid på at studere pin-up kort hvor man kan se kvinderne posere afklædte. En af drengene i gruppen har en plakat med en nøgen dame med en guitar, som de alle står og betragter grundigt, da en kvinde ved navn Berit med en guitar kommer og afbryder dem da hun skal ind i opgangen som de spærrer for. Berit ligner hende på plakaten, og drengene vil nu finde ud af om de har ret i deres overbevisning om at det er hende. Det bliver Fatty (hovedperson) der skal op og ringe på hendes dør. De andre følger med i hvad der sker fra et træ, og da Berit trækker gardinerne for tror de straks at der sker spændende- tager op i lejligheden for at se efter. Her ender de så siddende på sofaen alle sammen for generte til at sige noget. Til sidst er der en af drengene, som får fremstammet om hun vil spille noget for dem på hendes guitar, og man finder til sidst ud af at hun er medlem af en kristen forening. Alt hvad drengene...

...“BABY GAMES” 2) Never say "Baby": (Materials- baby safety pins or another type of baby object you can place on a string for each woman at the party as well as string or yarn, enough for each woman to wear as a necklace). Have each woman place the necklace with the baby safety pins around her neck when she gets to the party. The rules for this baby shower game are given out at the beginning of the baby shower that whenever someone says the word "baby" during the shower, any woman who calls it out gets a pin from the other woman who stated the word. At the end of the baby shower, the woman with the most pins wins a prize. 42) Pregnant for a Day Co-Ed Game (Materials: Bag of medium balloons, a roll of yarn cut into approx. 20 inch pieces, and a chair for each male participant). Don't tell the object of the game up-front. Make a statement to the women in attendance-- "How many of us women wished that men could be pregnant just for one day?" This statement will leave the men full of suspicion as to what was about to unfold. Hand each man a balloon. For each man that doesn't have on shoes with shoe laces, tie the piece of yarn around each of his slip on shoes to mimic a shoestring. Do not form the bow. Only make a knot to help keep the yarn around the shoe. For those who do have on string up shoes, instruct them to untie their shoes. Instruct each man to blow up his balloon and tell each man when to stop filling it with air. The balloons should be filled with enough air that...

...The Black Metal Pin Have you ever wondered what it would take to become a U.S. Marine? Some may say that it’s all physical training, but others might say that it’s having a strong will to succeed. During my training to become a marine, I discovered both to be true, and I will never forget that experience for the rest of my life. The United States Marine Corps is one of the finest military fighting forces in the world. They are also the only military personnel that stand guard at the white house to protect the President of the United States. There are only two places in the world to become a U.S Marine. One is the recruit training center at Parris Island S.C., and the other is San Diego CA. Each consists of 3 phases which take 13weeks of the most mental and physical training that anyone could ever experience. I remember the day I left home, and started my long journey to the recruit training center at Parris Island. I arrived at the training center early Monday morning, and was greeted by a Marine Corps Drill Instructor. With a loud and commanding voice, he told us to get off the bus, so we all jumped up and headed for the swinging doors. As we headed for the doors, the drill instructor started throwing some of us through the emergency exits. Once off the bus we had to stand on these yellow foot prints that were painted on the ground. Then the sky turned black and it started to rain, I then thought to myself, what was I thinking going into the Marines...

...Cloth Vs Disposable Diapers…..What’s Best? Introduction Diapers have been used by humans throughout history. But, the word diaper did not originally refer to its use. Instead, the term originally referred to a type of cloth with a pattern of small repeated geometric shapes. The first diapers were made of a special type of soft cloth cut in geometric shapes. The method of creating geometric shapes in cloth was called diapering, but it eventually gave the name of the cloth used in making diapers back in 1590s in England. Diaper is used on children who are not yet toilet trained to prevent bed-wetting and to keep babies’ skin clean and dry. While it was originally made of cloth material, several variations and improvements were made on the diaper resulting in the creation of disposable diaper. Unlike cloth diapers which can be washed and reused multiple times, disposable diapers are thrown away after use (Leverich). The boom of the disposable diaper industry suggests that it is more preferred by parents that its cloth counterpart. Parents choose what they think is best for their baby. Hence, while the use of disposable diaper has become a trend, it actually has a number of disadvantages that may want parents to reconsider using cloth diapers. Health and Comfort One of the main reasons of using diapers is to provide comfort for the baby by keeping their skin dry, healthy and free from rashes. Prolong wetness irritates the baby’s skin and cause rashes. Cloth diaper is made...

...Gardener or maid, two options that nobody wants to deal with for their future. Sadly, it is the options for most of the immigrants in the U.S. Reading the capture of the drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman raises a question of the real dream America offers to the world. I believe that some Mexican immigrants who work relentlessly as a maid or gardener cannot escape to think of the bitter truth behind the news. Their mind must be wandered about the question of how nice it would be to be a notorious criminal in their hometown, if they can get a billion dollars. I cannot stop my mind from thinking that at this exact moment some of the immigrant maybe pitying themselves and some of them may be just decided to join a gang. Taking a different point of view of “El Chapo” case, we can see an uncomfortable truth about immigrants laid in front of the world. Many people have a beautiful imagination of how happy they are if they are living in another country. However, the people who already sought happiness and dreams in another country, was facing the bitter reality of their dream. Living in another country needs a preparation, something that most immigrants forgot. The new countries, be it the U.S or Australia, will not open their arms to immigrant eagerly without knowing anything about them. They need to know the intentions, the ability, the family background and the reason of why the immigrant left their origin. Because of that reasons, there is lots of paperwork which has to...

Hours of operation 6pm to 2am, 7 days/week Lane Rental $40 per hour, or $10/hour per person Expected # of customer rotations/night 3 Maximum # of customers 150 (or, 450/night assuming 3 rotations) Organizational Givens divided the staff into three divisions. Petty managed restaurant operations, and Givens managed bowling operations and sales (including marketing and events). Both Givens and Petty agreed that hiring a part-time bookkeeper to keep track of receipts and deposits was critical. Reluctantly, Givens acknowledged that eliminating employee health insurance coverage (which had accounted for 12% of Westlake’s fixed expenses) was fiscally responsible. Gary Spalding, with his lane machinery expertise, was an instrumental employee. She offered Spalding a raise equal to the value of his insurance, which he rejected. Ultimately a 30% salary increase and an extra two weeks of vacation annually convinced him to stay. Petty said: Smith and Sinclair, old Westlake employees, didn’t meet any of the criteria we set...

Informal norm is “a norm that is generally understood but not precisely recorded.” I’ll be studying the interactions people have with one another while having fun and enjoyment at Don Carter lanes. It’s a cold Sunday afternoon the atmosphere inside the bowling alley was filled with laughter, people of all ages engaging in conversation, sounds of coins dropping in video games, NASCAR racing on the video monitors, bowling balls thudding against the floor, and pins being slammed to the side walls of the alley cavity. The aroma of pizza, onion rings, and fries become stronger as walk down the aisle to find a place for my observation. On lanes 6 and 7 there are seven Latino teenage boys about to start bowling ages 10 – 15 years in age, they are communicating in the Spanish language. Language is “an abstract system of word meanings and symbols for all aspects of culture.” There are four teens dressed in urban style clothing, jeans sagging oversized shirts, and Nike gym shoes.
