...proceeded to tell him about himself and a terrible crime that he had committed. He tells Simon about how one day he and his fellow comrades were out on the job and rounded up a large group of Jews and put them all in a house, where they were tightly packed together. The soldiers then threw in grenades that set the house on fire. Any Jew that tried to jump out of the house or to escape would be shot. After sharing the story with Simon, the soldier explained how guilty he felt and asked Simon for forgiveness. This was a question that Simon could not and did not know how to answer, so he walked out of the room. The question still harasses Simon, wondering what he should have done in that situation. In his narrative, he asked many different essayists for their thoughts, and with that he received many answers. Dith Pran, a witness and a survivor of the Cambodian killing fields, is one of many that wrote a response to Simon Wiesenthal. In his response, he says that the key to forgiveness is understanding. Pran believes that the soldiers are the ones who are forgivable. He could “never forgive or forget what the top leadership of the Khmer Rouge has done to (him), (his) family, or friends (pg. 230).” It was the leaders who brainwashed everybody and were the “brains behind a sadistic plot (pg. 231).” Pran also says that he “always felt the soldiers were trapped … they were taught to kill … More importantly that they were forced...

You might, also, want to use the superior matching capabilities of gema to drive your program. GeL is a Lua 5 library that: allows the execution of Lua function (and hence of a C function) in a gema action provides the powerful text matching mechanisms offered by gema as a set of Lua functions it has been tested with Lua 5.0.2. Refer to the detailed documentation to build gel togheter with gema, . 1.1 Status GeL is not as mature as gema or Lua, please report any bugs you may find using SourceForge bug tracking subsystem (you don't need to log in as a SourceForge user) or sending an e-mail to Remo Dentato. 1.2 Licence GeL is released under the same licence of Gema. No specific reference needs to be made to GeL as long as the due reference to Gema and Lua have been made. 2.

...experience. My seminar topic was about examining the imagery that appeared in the play Hamlet. A skill I developed was using technological equipment to present a presentation.Each group had to pick a topic that was in their interest to research online for information. The requirements started with presenting the information in front of the class informing the audience what imagery means and discuss using concrete examples from the play. This presentation gave me the opportunity to work with PowerPoint and Excel and then to present my information. I believe that in order to communicate effectively with the audience you have to have a well prepared presentation that will capture their attention so that you can present your ideas clearly. A skill that I had trouble was to be able to work as a team. The imagery seminar was a great opportunity for me to develop my team work skills because we were put in to pairs to complete the seminar. Each member in the group had specific responsibilities to the team in order for the seminar to be successful. Being in the group to work on the seminar was a great experience for me because I was able to see where my strong and weak points are in group work. I found that it was easier for me to communicate my ideas with Rachna than to the whole class. A big part of group work is good communication between Rachna and I. Communication is also a big part of my learning experience because I will need to be able to get my ideas out by communicating well...

...Inequalities Thomas Cunningham MAT221: Introduction to Algebra (GSO13360) Instructor: Justin Hazel Inequalities In this assignment I will be showing you how you can find out how to use Inequalities to find out how much you may or may not be overweight. You can use my equations and the examples of my work to find out exactly what category you might fall in. In this equation we are asked to use our own height to find out exactly if I might have a longer life span than the usual person. Before we start remember that W=my weight, and then H=my height. W=178.2 and then H=67 In this first compound inequality, I had to take the equivalent inequality and replace it with the BMI formula. My height and weight has been added in to replace the current H^. The next steps for this compound inequality I had to multiply all the terms by the denominator. There was some cancellation done towards the first phase of the problem. I then all three terms where divided by 703 to isolate W. People’s height of 67 might be different life span of those whom might weigh between 108lbs and 128lbs. 17<BMI<=22 17<703W/67^<22 17<703W/4489<22 17(4489) <703W<22(4489) 76313<703W<8978 76313/703<8978/703 108<W<128 In order to solve this second inequality, what I need to do is solve for W and place the values of W. The very first thing that happens is I multiply all the terms by H^ in order to take out...

Matrix organizations are kinds of structures that a categorized flexible and responsive and are characterized by employees having more than one supervisor and in order for them to perform at their highest level of productivity, they must have some area of expertise that is disciplined. The project team happens to become a creation of several highly imaginatively intelligent groups of people that are formed to collaborate with each other and strive at creating more diverse ideas, or putting a different take on some of the many already formed ideas and the opinions of those more diverse ideas. The collegial model works flawlessly when each member is able to be independent, but equally share management responsibilities or work out a specific rotation that meets each individuals peer or colleagues needs. The need or want for freedom or independence in the aforementioned paragraph has little merit when they must come together to satisfy matters that affect the entire group....

...the initial stage of a team. In this part a team gets formed and the members of the team get through the icebreaking process. Forming is a stage in which group members try to assess ground rules applying to a task and to group interaction (Bartol et al., 2005, p.476). In the first tutorial of organisation and management, all the team members were unfamiliar and unknown to each other. There was diversity because students of many nations and cultures came together. Everyone was confused about what to do. There was no one who wanted to be the first spokesperson. In this situation team members were all divided into some little groups to complete the first tutorial task. As every team member were unknown to each other, one of the team members spoke out and discussed the tutorial task. After that everyone started to contribute and gave ideas, with that the group was working very effectively. Members completed the task and then submitted it to their tutor. In the first tutorial the team members were totally unclear about the team goals. Individuals did not know what their role in the team is. Some students were really nervous as they were not able to cope up with the other team members. It was a negative site of the team, as the team was not able to work effectively. After selecting the team leader the team was divided into sub-groups like- Marketing, Public Relation, Finance and IT. All the students...

...1. Introduction - What are the major issues and problems facing Chabot? Background – current situation – future plan - challenges confronted – problems need to be solved Chabot is facing a lot of issues and problems in the wallpaper industry. As the number of wallpaper manufacturers is highly decreasing over last years the competition among remaining companies becomes fiercer. Some manufacturers face difficulties supplying large and powerful retailers. So does Chabot as a privately owned, small company selling products with short life cycles and highly valued at a reasonable price. Due to fashion orientated product industry and broad range of product preferences other types of wall covering are favored by consumers as well. To keep up with competitors Chabot is providing new items every 4 month but speeds up obsolete wallpapers as well. When wallpaper pattern and designs become obsolete, markdowns are necessary to help get rid of old inventory. Problems with inventory turnover lead to mark downs which decrease profits. Caused by inaccurate demand forecasting Chabot has to deal with a high amount of obsolete inventory and a resulting low turnover rate. Since customers base their decisions on style and appeal of the design as well as on in stock availability retailer want low inventory and expect quick order fulfillment. But Chabot cannot keep up with demand and causing a low level of customer service due to long production runs and lack of flexibility in manufacturing process...

...2: Unwrapping ISLLC Standard 1 This week’s assignment was very interesting. I had not participated in an unwrapping activity since a workshop I attended in 2004. At the beginning of the exercise I was worried about being a part of an online team. I was especially wary of using the online group forum for coordinating the completion of the group project. I am, by nature, a worrier, but I should not have been stressed. The team quickly responded to my original message, we exchanged numbers, divided the assignment into manageable pieces, and one teammate volunteered to put the assignment together. At first, I was confused with the requirements, but after receiving guidance from the professor, I understood the expectations. Once the parameters of the assignment were agreed upon and set, everyone has met the established deadlines. I view this exercise as basic-training for when I am charged with larger projects as an administrator and I fully expect that the personality conflicts and obstacles to the effective completion of the assignments will be repeated in future projects. The leadership skills acquired as a part of the cooperative learning group will translate and be useful in my future role as an administrator. For the future, I need to trust the established protocols for completing scheduled tasks. Although I am quick to take on leadership responsibilities, I need to resist the urge to reinvent the wheel. I need to acknowledge that in a long-standing...

...Program Description: This program will calculate all of the useable area (in square feet) in a house. This specific house contains four rooms, all of which are rectangular in shape. Analysis: My goal in creating this program is that it successfully calculates the useable square footage in a house that contains four rooms. The values which are required to perform the calculations will be the length of room 1 times the width of room 1(in feet). This will give the area of room one, which will in turn become the useable area for this particular room. The same length times width (L x W) formula will then be used for all subsequent rooms. After the area for all four rooms has been found, the sum of the area of each room will be the final output for useable square feet. The output values are as follows: * L1: The length for room 1 * W1: The width for room 1 * L2: The length for room 2 * W2: The width for room 2 * L3: The length for room 3 * W3: The width for room 3 * L4: The length for room 4 * W4: The width for room 4 * T1: Total square feet for room 1 * T2: Total square feet for room 2 * T3: Total square feet for room 3 * T4: Total square feet for room 4 * Total_SqFt: Total useable square footage in the house Test Plan: Test Case # | Input | Expected Output | 1 | Room 1 - Length:20 Width:14Room 2: - Length:16 Width:12Room 3: - Length:22 Width:16Room 4: - Length:12 Width:10 | Square Feet: 944 | 2 | Room 1 -...
