...and completing my degree in order to have a successful life ahead of me. A personal short term goal of mine is to sell my home. I am preparing my home for resale and hope to place it on the market with a realtor in the next few months. There have been many barriers to overcome to overcome in this preparation. To date, I have replaced the kitchen, bathrooms, air conditioner, carpet, tile, and painted inside and out. There are still a few cosmetic things I need to do such as fixing up the yard and staining the driveway. Once those things are completed I will contact the realtor to obtain an appraisal to see how much I can list my property for. My long term personal goal is downsizing from my current five bedroom home and purchasing a town home. Three of my four children are grown and have moved into their own homes which just leaves myself and my youngest daughter. Living in this large house is no longer necessary nor financially beneficial. With the help of a realtor along with my own research I hope to find a property that fits my budget and is the right size for myself and my daughter. I hope to be in my new town home within the next year. I want to remain in the Trinity, Florida area close to my family, friends, and workplace. Owning a home comes with a lot of responsibility and the upkeep of both the inside and out is not only time consuming but can be...

...Monroe Louisiana at 8:00 A.M. and 7:00 P.M. The second day I visited a Rich class neighborhood called Lakewood at the same times. The differences between the upper and poor class were astonishing. This paper will describe the differences and similarities between the upper and poor class neighborhood, what distinguishes the wealthy neighborhood from the poor neighborhood, what caused me to believe one was wealthier than the other, and how culture and religion impact the neighborhoods. Differences and Similarities When visiting Lincoln Heights at 8:00 A.M. I noticed that everyone was heading to their jobs. The transportation was very different from those of Lakewood. In Lincoln heights people were riding bicycles, driving older models vehicles, while others were walking to a bus location 2 miles from their neighborhood. During my assessment, I noticed that there was much diversity throughout the poor neighborhood. There were Caucasians, African Americans and Mexican Americans and all seemed to be greeting each other as they were passing. The safety conditions lacks greatly. There were no sidewalks for the cyclists and pedestrians. The only way out of the neighborhood was to walk directly on the road. I then took notice of the area appearance. Some buildings and houses looked unsafe, yards weren’t mowed and cluttered with objects, and trash had been thrown in certain locations. I left and came back at 7:00 P.M. I noticed that there...

...the road and the car in front of you is swerving all over the road? You then become worried and you proceed to switch lanes to ensure your safety, and as you approach the car, you see that the driver is face down in their cellphone, and because of the size of phones these days, you realized that they almost cause an accident for Facebook? Really, Facebook? What happens when your friend comes to pick you up and as you guys head out for a night on the town, your friend is all consumed with texting in the middle of driving, and she inadvertently veers over into the next lane cutting a vehicle almost causing a collision? Your life could have been lost in the blink of an eye, all because of that darn cellphone. As you continue to read this paper, it will show you that texting while driving is just as dangerous and driving while under the influence of alcohol. Cellphones have been around for centuries. The modern cellphone has only had the capability for texting since 1997 when Nokia introduced the 9000i with a full QWERTY keyboard (A Brief History of Text Messaging, 2015). Since its time, the cellphone has become interactive; we now have the luxury of not even needing a personal computer, because cellphones have evolved into just that a fully functional complete communication device. Cellphones are a necessity in life and it has been proven, but not as it pertains to texting and driving. The website www.textinganddrivingsafety.com listed that in 2011 at least 23% of car crashes...

...Day-to-Day Stress Omar R. Hameen GEN/200 May 17, 2011 Barbara Alston Day-to-Day Stress In the following paper I would like to talk about a problem that causes stress my daily life. I will describe how to gather information to help me solve this problem and where the information can be obtained. In this paper I will talk about my experiences and how I deal various forms of stressors at home and in social settings. Daily stress Stress is a term used by many, is severly misunderstood, and often used to describe a negative condition or emotional state. It is our biological way of dealing with sudden changes in our life. The biggest stressor for me is fatigue. Most days, my morning starts around 10 a.m. By 11 a.m., I’m hurrying to the store to grab an energy drink then back home to work on school assignments and apply for jobs online. At 12 a.m. I start my “work day”, which typically requires cleaning, preparing my daughter for school, and taking care of any outside work that needs to be done. I usually find myself leaving home at 5 p.m. and heading to pick up my daughter from daycare. Whether we go to the park, play some type of sports in the yard, or go on a bike ride; I spend the next 3 hours running around behind my 4 year old daughter, using my last bit of stored energy. When our playtime is done we head inside to do her school work and other learning activities. Spending family time is important, so usually its dinner and a movie until...

...communities began voluntary recycling programs. There are some household items that are dangerous if they are just thrown away with the regular garbage these items can damage the environment and injure plant and animal life some of these may include moth balls, spot removers, aerosol cans, fluorescent light tubes and shoe polish. Your local waste management agency has information on how to properly dispose of these items. A compost bin may be set up in your yard. Compost bins return plant and some food materials to the soil through decomposition so it can be used as a natural soil additive, called compost. Compost improves soil texture, increases the ability of soil to absorb oxygen and water. Compost also suppresses weed growth and reduces the need to add chemicals and pesticides to plants, which may be harmful to the environment. Keeping recycle bens in the kitchen may help to stop people from accidentally throwing into the trash an item that could have been recycled. Some recyclable items include glass, paper, and most types of mettle. You want to be...

...ABSTRACT Despite Bangladesh has glorious history & heritage as a shipbuilding nation since ancient time, shipbuilding has been in focus only from the last couple of years. The optimism about this industry arose from the success attained by a number of local entrepreneurs who brought the name and fame to Bangladesh as a country with great potentials in shipbuilding by building and handing over some ocean-going vessels to overseas buyers. Since then, the shipbuilding in Bangladesh did not have to look back and now new opportunities are knocking at the door to flourish this industry further. However, due to global nature of this industry, an assessment of suitability to modern shipbuilding in terms of global standard is of prime importance. This paper focuses on studying some crucial competitive factors like labour skill, labour availability, labour man-hour, labour cost & productivity for local shipbuilding which are the inherent part for expansion of this industry. The analysis also focuses on the existing access to the resources like materials, knowledge and capital for shipbuilding. Comparison of these parameters with other nations have been made qualitatively and quantitatively to find the level of our shipbuilding. On the basis of existing condition and future vision, some recommendations have been made which might be useful for accelerating the development of this sector. Keywords: Shipbuilding, Competitive factor, Productivity, R &D, Labour cost. Shipbuilding...

...INTRODUCTION Background Information The importance of agriculture in Kenya cannot be over-emphasized since it forms the backbone of the country’s economy. Agriculture contributes directly 26 per cent of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and another 25 per cent indirectly. It supplies the manufacturing sector with raw materials, generates tax revenue that helps to support the rest of the economy and accounts for 65 per cent of Kenya’s total exports. It also employs over 40 per cent of the total population, and, over 70 per cent of the rural population depends on agriculture for their livelihood. The agriculture sector plays an important role in Kenya’s economy (Government of Kenya, 2009), and has been identified as a key driver to achieve the...

...Persuasive Research Paper Dominique Harris ENG/215 September 30, 2013 Bill Morgan Persuasive Research Paper Restrictions on Guns for the Sake of Life Volsky (2012), "I support the Second Amendment” (para. 2) Governor Rick Scott (R) stated December 2012 when questioned by anchor Soledad O’Brien about which reforms, if any, he would support. Gun control is one of the leading controversial issues society faces in America to date. The government is faced with the issue of limiting assault rifles with a trite and establishing tougher gun laws vs. the second amendment. President Obama said it best “the country’s background check system for gun buyers is so weak it makes the United States vulnerable to mass shootings” (Rucker, 2013, para. 2). That statement alone should end any controversy on the issue of gun control. Regulating individual’s right to bear arms certainly would bring a since of safety to our society. In order for that to happen, government will have to do more than just prohibited sales of guns. In everyone’s community someone knows an individual who owns gun e.g., for protection or hunting. To regulate the rights to bear arms authorities would have to confiscate everyone’s guns to make America safer. I personally would like that to happen because guns kill, accidentally and on purpose. Take a look at the bigger picture “every day in the U.S., an average of 289 people are shot. Eight-six of them die: 30 are murdered, 53 kill themselves, two die accidentally...

...What Awaits Us in the Future? I can remember when I was little; we did not have nearly as much as we have today. Though, I am not that old, technology has moved at such a fast pace that most things that I thought were normal are no longer. We were still coloring with crayons and did math with a piece of paper, a pencil and if we were lucky, we had an adding machine. So much has changed over a short period of time that it is sometimes scary to think. An adding machine has now become such a sophisticated calculator that has computations that one could never figure in a short amount of time with a pencil and paper. When I just sit back and think what we did back when I was a child, as compared to the children right now, I am amazed. Another observation that I have made, is that I can drive down the road and see many people in their cars on their phones either talking or texting, whether they are drivers or passengers. I am just as guilty as well. I rely on technology more than what I should allow myself. I know my limits and boundaries, whereas others do not. If you were to purchase a new automobile, it will be enhanced with technology that allows you to punch a button on the steering wheel to talk on the phone as long as you have the “Bluetooth” button engaged on your cellular devise. When I was in elementary school, I did not have a cell phone, and my mom did not even know what texting was. My mother actually had to pick up the phone on the kitchen wall and call...

...Barbie has recently had her 40th birthday. It all started in the 1950s when Ruth Handler saw her daughter, Barbara, and her friends playing with paper dolls. They liked to imagin the dolls beeing different persons who were working, swiming, playing with friends etc. Ruth, who owned the company Mattel with her husband, understood that pretending how the future would be was part of growing up for kids. She did some research and found that there was room on the market for a doll like Barbie. Mattel had been making lots of toys before Barbie but when Ruth said that she wanted them to make a small doll for kids all the men in the staff had their doubts. Many different designs were done before the first Barbie was introduced on the 9th of march 1959. Barbie was named after Ruths daughter. Barbie was then a teen-age fashion model who was very different to the dolls the kids played with at that time. The buyers were at first skeptical to the doll but when Mattel started to make tv-commercials to reach out to the buyers it was an instant hit. Barbie is still the most popular fashion doll ever created. That is because she is always changing when the fashion and trends change. She wears everything from the Paris fashion to the more youthful look. For example the creaters changed her when the Beatles were popular and they made a copy of Jackie Kennedy when she was popular. In the 1970s Barbie wore very different clothes just to be trendy. She for example wore glittery disco outfits and...

...Research Paper Violent Video Games: Where Violence Comes From Whether or not violent video games cause violence among people is a highly debated top-ic in society today. Do video games, such as “Grand Theft Auto”, “Saints Row”, “Call of Duty”, “Doom”, and many others, cause violence in society today? Yes, violent video games that are being freely released to just about everyone in the public are one main cause for violence in the world. Violent video games are causing people to commit violent crimes, have hostile behaviors, the games are showing people how to kill and get away with it, and lowers chances of people taking a nonviolent solution to a problem. Many people are addicted to video games in general; many people use video games as an escape from the “real world”. Social scientists have been studying and debating the effects of media violence on behavior since the 1950s, and video games in particular since the 1980s. (Carey Benedict) One wide spread occurrence is people who have committed violent crimes often have been found to have played in the past or are playing violent video games now. In Adam Lanza’s basement, he’s the person in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, law enforcement re-portedly discovered a “trove” of violent video games.
