...De Beaumont’s “Beauty and the Beast” and Angela Carter’s “The Tiger’s Bride” differ in many ways as to how each author chose to depict different social groups. First and foremost, the stories have an extreme variation in the way gender roles are portrayed. In De Beaumont’s version, the women are presented as much more civilized individuals. Beauty is the prime example as it states, “…she was such a charming, sweet-tempered creature, spoke so kindly to poor people, and was of such an affable, obliging behavior,” (De Beaumont, 1). She is making a point that kindness, gentleness, and shyness are associated with being feminine. To most, this is how women should be perceived. As girls, we are thought of as the more passive and nurturing gender, where as it is acceptable for males succumb to their beastly urges and animalistic instincts. Carter challenges that notion by allowing her Beauty to be enraged at the trade-off. She is not showing fear; she is strong, brave, and angry. “I saw within it not my own face but that of my father… What, you self-deluding fool, are you crying still? And drunk, too,” (Carter, 60). This Beauty is more selfish the De Beaumont’s. She feels betrayed for being handed off as a prize. The dominant story of being a female has always been to respect the male-have you own ambitions-but nothing that will emasculate the male. De Beaumont’s version goes along with that dominant story. Beauty, firstly, has dependency on her father, whom of which she willingly...

Please provide examples of projects that you have seen succeed and fail due to employee buy-in. My company owns and develops the GRE which is now called the Revised General Test. It took 2 years for our company to revise the test along with many hours and sacrifices. The GRE is a test prospective graduate students seeking to get into schools who accept the test as a part of their admission’s process. The revised version was scheduled for a predetermined date but because it was not ready the powers that be (of my company) decided to continue the process of revision for the test. With that decision being made every department, manager, and employees had to cut down on their spending which caused the company (from what I believed to have happened) to begin re-evaluating its spending policies. Each department manager and employee did manage to cut back and cut expenditures and the company did end up saving money and also paying for the extra time and effort to revised and...

...Chapter I “How are you feeling now? Do you still ‘see’ those weird things?” “I am fine; for now. I just really hope that it’s working as intended to be.” “That’s good,you’ll be up and well again in no time. Don’t worry - you’ll get used to those implants soon.” “I really do hope so…” The pale girl was still uneasy despite what the physician said, probably just because she was still recovering from her recent operation. It was just like what most patients that have undergone a major one would feel. Everything looked mundane and seemed in order. The room’stemperature regulated, spacious enough, and everything was tidied and regularly checked by sanitary personnel; the flowers on the vase on top of the table beside her bed was frequently changed by her visitors. However, there was something that kept bothering her periodically during her whole stay in the hospital while recovering. She could not describe nor explain it, but there is definitely something bothering her. “Well I’ll be going now Ms. Lilde. Make sure you call any of the nurses immediately if ever something happens again.” “Will do sir.” “I’ll see you again later for your next check-up.” The physician left the room after checking the condition of the girl’s eyes. She was still not allowed to remove the bandages and open her eyes yet but seeing that she’s in a steady rate of recovery, it would just be a short amount of time now before she could finally see the light again. Or so they...

...Minors and Violent Crimes ENG 215 August 27, 2014 Minors and Violent Crimes Juvenile crime has been a national crisis for quite some time. Research from 2010 showed that there were approximately 225 arrests for violent crime offences for every 100,000 youth between the ages of 10 and 17. The violent crimes committed by juveniles has been reported to be at its highest during the after school hours. Research has also shown that approximately 8% of all homicides in the U.S. were committed by juvenile offenders (Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention). These alarming statistics prove that minors should be held accountable and be tried as adults in the judicial system. Some may argue that minors have a better chance of being rehabilitated but at the same time minors could become “career criminals”. Steinberg (2001) remarks with the following: Variability among individuals older than 12, but younger than 16, requires that some sort of individualized assessment of an offender's competence to stand trial, blameworthiness, and likely amenability to treatment be made before reaching a transfer decision. The U.S. judicial system should treat minors who commit violent crimes as adults to enforce accountability, to prevent repeat offenders, and to deter others. Factoring Accountability Holding teens accountable for the violent crimes they commit by punishing them as an adult is a social complexity but it is incumbent. Some may view a minor being tried...

...REVISED SIMPLEX METHOD We have implemented the simplex algorithm by using the Tableau to update the information we proceed along the various steps. For problems with only a few variables the simplex method is efficient. However, problems of practical interest often have several hundred variables. The tableau method is hopeless for problems containing more than a few variables. We are in fact calculating AB-1aj for all j as well as calculating all components of the relative cost coefficient r, albeit in an fairly automatic manner. However, we really need to know only one component rj of r, one row AB-1aj of the Tableau †(B), and the column constant AB-1b of the Tableau in order to pass to the next basic index set B. The goal of the revised simplex method is the ordering of all calculations so that no unnecessary calculations are performed. No new theory will be need. The simplex algorithm exactly as written in an earlier chapter will be implemented. The implementation will avoid all unnecessary calculations and will try whenever possible to update any available information. The Simpex Algorithm (Theoretical Foundation) 1. 2. Start with some basic index set B1 = {i(1), i(2), … ,i(m)}. Compute a coefficient of the relative cost coefficient rj = cj - cBAB-1aj for B1 until some index j with rj > 0 is found. (i).If all rj ≤ 0, termination phase has been reached. (ii).Only those j M N1 are candidates 3. Find AB-1aj = aj and AB-1b = b and compute the allowable ratios of the jth column...

...Name: Tutor: Course: Date: Shattered American Dream Every immigrant has a dream, a vision full of hope expecting to make it wherever he goes. In grapes of wrath, they had this vision too. “[People are] movin’ ‘cause they got to. That’s why [we] folks always move. Movin’ cause [we] want somepin better’n what [we] got” (Steinbeck, 128). The American dream was seen as a simple concept by the immigrants in the Grapes of Wrath. According to them, “You can reach anywhere and pick an orange” (Steinbeck, 34). They thought they will just go to California and get plenty of jobs for everyone and get rich. This is highlighted in page 34,”there’s work there and it never gets cold”. What the immigrants did not know was that finding an ideal life in the west was nearly impossible. Additionally, those who were looking for an ideal life were corrupted by the system. In his book, Steinbeck said that the attainment of the American dream was nearly impossible due to the economic instability and constant government interference. The Joads found unpredictable jobs in California (Ownby 73). They failed to achieve the American dream and so they did not succeed in California. Before they migrated from Oklahoma, the Joads had a good life. They had land, a home and money. Their migration was fuelled by their hopes of finding success and a better life in California. The Grapes of Wrath is set during the great depression. The great depression was a result of the inaction by the federal government...

...Knowing my wife was afflicted with serious heart complications, I knew she needed to get her full nights asleep without being disturbed. So instead of waking her and letting her know I was heading to work, every morning I write a little note reminding her how much I love her and that I'll see her when I get home, and place it on the table next to her side of the bed. As I made my way through the front door onto the front steps, the weather had that feeling and sense about it as if it was one of the days where nothing could go wrong. Beautiful, sunny, high 60's with a bit of a breeze, and of course it's not a sign of a great day without the birds chirping. I took my usual way to work, about 25 min with no traffic, possibly 40 if everybody decided to be up this early. As I'm making my way through one of the back roads that I sometimes take, all of a sudden what looks like to be a dog runs out in front of me and I nail it. It happened so fast I could barely see what it was, although I was still able to slam only breaks just enough so if didn't kill it instantly. I got out of my truck and kneeled down next to this beautiful dog which from the looks of it is prolly a lab. Still in shock from the events I called 911, but of course they tell me to phone Animal Control. So by time they got to the scene, approximately 20 minutes after I talked to them, the dog was barely breathing and probably had a broken leg, yet the tough little guy was still hanging in there. So I made my way to work...

...Michael Hafner Dr. Samantha Langsdale PHIL 1800 December 2nd, 2015 The Delusion Dilemma Rene Descartes once proposed a tedious accusation about dreaming, and how our senses that we use to perceive what is considered reality should not be trusted fully. In the Meditations on First Philosophy, Descartes attempts to convey the fascinating illusion of always being in a dream without a certain ability to distinguish what is actually reality or what is a dream, or at bare minimum prove that there are no certain marks to prove otherwise. He states, “…as I think about this more carefully, I see plainly that there are never any sure signs by means of which being awake can be distinguished from being asleep. The result is that I begin to feel dazed, and this very feeling only reinforces the notion that I may be asleep” (First Meditation). In my attempts to contrast what Descartes argument was comprised of and what certain illusions made him feel this way about our perception of physical existence. I turned my attention to his famous dream argument originally brought forth in his Mediation on First Philosophy, and will be using different ideologies between a John Locke and Thomas Hobbes, two famous English philosophers who have attempted to refute Rene Descartes’s dream argument by providing useful and insightful situations to further explain against the idea, as well as provide my own insight in concluding that we are not dreaming right now. It should be noted that within the...

...Alexis K Pointer ENGL 1101 Dr. Dominy 1 December 2014 Lost Sovereignty When an individual looks at the bigger picture than the small one in front of you and enjoy the experience instead of looking for ways to show proof to someone what you did or what you saw. I lost my sovereignty, power over something, because of a postcard I received in the mail from Philadelphia, which did not look the same in person. The postcard had beautiful, old buildings and clear blue sky. When we went a few weeks later the buildings were just old and the sky was not clear. I was so excited by the way Philadelphia looked on a postcard that I did not really experienced what it had to offer. Many people just like myself have lost their sovereignty at an event, place, or even showing evidence that they went somewhere. In “The Lost of the Creature” Walker Percy gives many examples of people losing their sovereignty while visiting places. A man from Boston is one of Percy’s examples. This man from Boston had seen a picture of the Grand Canyon on a postcard. While visiting the Grand Canyon the man was shocked by the way it looks. The canyon does not look the same as it does on the postcard. So the man was in a sense cheated out of a great experience that he could have had, because the postcard looked one way and was expecting the canyon to look the same way. As Percy stated “that the thing is no longer the thing as it confronted the Spaniard. It is rather that which has already been formulated, by...

...Critical Thinking Paper: Revised Shaun M White Renee Pistone PHI 210 – Critical Thinking June 10, 2012 Critical Thinking Paper: Revised “God bless America, land that I love. Stand beside her, and guide her through the night with a light from above. From the mountains, to the prairies, to the oceans, white with foam God bless America, my home sweet home…” If you were raised anywhere within the borders of the United States of America, you have heard these lyrics of “God Bless America” multiple times throughout your years. Just as the lyrics suggest, we should stand by our country, but we are also charged to guide our country. There would be no need to guide, if there wasn’t an area in which the country is lacking. The area in which America needs some guidance is in the area of employment benefits, specifically vacation mandates by the great America herself. America is the greatest place to live, don’t get that wrong, but there are some changes that need to be made to reward the people who contribute to making America the greatest country there is. The biggest change that needs to be made is to incorporate more time away from work. According to The Everything HR Kit, a person should be rewarded for their continuous hard work. The text believes that after 25 years of service, an employee should receive a total of five weeks paid vacation. Coming from an individual who is but 25 years old, five weeks does sound pretty nice, which is until statistics of what other countries...

Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. 3. Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. 4. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. 5.
