...The Paper Route The stench was getting unbearable; I couldn’t hide out here any longer, and the bluebottle flies circling around were not making things any better. They seem to particularly like a yellowing nasty looking piece of what looked like a slice of pizza. The garbage bin I was holed up in wasn’t particularly roomy or comfortable what with the peeling green paint and rusted corners. But I hadn’t had the option of choosing to hide out in a five star hotel with room service and air conditioning! I still had no idea how everything had gone so terribly wrong. The day had started so well, the sun bright and shiny, with the usual Saturday morning chores going on our street; lawns being mowed, cars being washed and kids playing around. I had woken up late as I always do on Saturdays, with the sun already up lighting my bedroom. My parents were out, they had a thing and I was all alone in the house. ‘Do the dishes and take out the trash’ was the note that greeted me on the fridge ‘Love, mum’, I looked at the note and carefully scrutinized the intricate handiwork and wondered for the hundredth time how my mum always managed to write in such a way. Breakfast consisted of berrybear cornflakes and milk; I love my cereals soggy because you sort of bring the taste out. After doing the dishes, I left to get my day’s supplies and get started on my paper route. I met old Mrs. Dorothy sitting on her porch as usual, a red wagon parked on her lawn she was so old that she got lost going...

...Demonstration Topic: Handing Water Material: glass, paper, pin, water Procedures: 1. Make some holes on the paper 2. Fill the glass up of water 3. Hole the paper over the glass 4. Tip the glass over while still holding the paper 5. Remove the hand after a few seconds Questions and explanation: 1. Why will the paper stay at the same place after removing the hand? The paper doesn’t fall down because of the air pressure. When the glass is full of air at the same pressure, you have the amount of push downwards as upwards. They balance each other. With the glass full of water, when the water starts to move downwards, there is nothing to take its place. This produces an area of extremely low pressure. The higher on the outside is then plenty strong enough to keep the paper in place. 2. Why does not the water leak from the holes? Water does not lea from the holes, because the surface tension of the water, the water on the paper surface of the film-forming water, the water will not leak. Difficulty of the experiment: At the first time of the experiment, we made the holes too big, and the paper fell very soon. When tip the glass over, it’s not easy to use the paper to cover the top the glass, some water will leak from the edge of the glass. The construction paper is too thin and gets wet very soon. And the paper will fall down. We have to tip the glass over very quickly; otherwise, the paper will fall...

...Sea Wee 10/22/11 Oral & Written Communication How To Speech How to make a Piñata Hello, my name is Sea Wee and as you may know I am a fellow classmate. Today I shall be demonstrating how to make a piñata. The piñata is basically a colorful cardboard container filled with small toys and/or candy and then broken as part of a ceremony or celebration. Beating a piñata became a famous international party event and is mostly associated with Mexico but its origins are considered to be in China. I will be showing how to make a custom piñata. You will need newspapers, two cups of flour, three cups of water, a balloon, two bowls (one big enough to hold a balloon), a spoon, blank sheets of paper, three tablespoons of cooking oil, a knife, paint or other decoration tools, crepe paper, strings, and finally candy or other goodies. First, lay down a sheet of newspaper on the floor and tear several pages of newspaper into strips. Then, get the two cups of flour and three cups of water. Next, mix them in a bowl until it forms a thick-glue paste. After that, inflate the balloon and rub a little cooking oil on it so the balloon would easily get off the paper when you later pop it. Place the balloon in the other bowl to prevent it from rolling while you work. Now soak the newspaper strips in the flour-water mixture and put the strips all over the balloon leaving a hole only at the top of the balloon. Leave it to dry. Then, after it dried, add another layer of newspaper on the balloon and...

...Cultura Griega y Romana Anabel Bonilla Otero HUM/100 University of Phoenix Dr. David Rodriguez 9 de marzo de 2011 Las mujeres han jugado un papel importante en la historia. Ellos han sido responsables de la subida y la caída de las naciones, el mantenimiento de las familias, y han sido el punto focal de la adoración en las religiones antiguas. Avanzando en la historia, los roles de las mujeres han cambiado continuamente. Su condición de matriarcas cambiado las antiguas civilizaciones más avanzadas. Las sociedades patriarcales de la antigua Grecia y Roma ven diferente a las mujeres de algunas sociedades de épocas pasadas. El estudio de la situación económica y política de las mujeres, sus derechos, y sus contribuciones a estas dos sociedades antiguas revela cómo cambiar los puntos de vistas de la historia. En la antigua Grecia y Roma, mucho más de lo que sabemos sobre la vida de la mujer fuera registrado por los hombres. Debido a esto, la vida pública de las mujeres son más entendidas en los aspectos de su vida privada. ¿Las mujeres detestan su papel en la sociedad en secreto, o lo que se deleitan con su capacidad de ser libre de las expectativas que carga los hombres? En la antigua Grecia, las mujeres eran consideradas inferiores a los hombres. Se creía que eran de emociones fuertes, pero las mentes débiles, incapaces de gobernarse a sí mismos. Debido a esto, las mujeres fueron nombrados tutores para protegerlos de sí mismos y proteger a los...

...Research Paper “The Shooting at the Ok Corral” was a really entertainment part of the movie. The facts of the movie Tombstone are all just fictional because on real life all those facts are not the same as how they truly happened. The reason why the fact on the movie are all just fictional is because the history over the shooting on the ok corral says a lot difference facts. Especially that it is a movie they always try to change the things up a little bit so it can be interesting. Although there are some events in the movie that are factual. One of the event that is factual is that Ike Clanton was really unarmed. (http://www.historynet.com/ok-corral-a-gunfight-shrouded-in-mystery.htm). Another event that was factual was when Virgil Earp raised is hand and told the cowboys to raised their hand and to give him their arms.( http://www.historynet.com/ok-corral-a-gunfight-shrouded-in-mystery.htm). Another factual event is when frank told Holliday “I got you now” (http://www.historynet.com/ok-corral-a-gunfight-shrouded-in-mystery.htm). The other event that is factual is that in the movie shows that Wyatt Earp was the one who shoot the first. (http://www.bignosekates.info/history3.html). The event that I’m going to be contrasting is the ones that were not factual. The event that was not factual was that Billy Clanton was the first one to take his gun out. But I t wasn’t like that the real acts is that Ike grapples the pistol of Wyatt and that makes Wyatt shoot first. ((http://www...

...The gunfight at the O.K. Corral is one of if not the most famous gunfight of all time. The O.K. Corral was located in the Arizona territory in the rough town of Tombstone. Even though only three men were killed during this incident, it embodies the old west era, which was legal authorities versus outlaws. The gunfight consisted of nine people who were as follows: Wyatt, Morgan, and Virgil Earp, Doc Holliday,Ike Clanton, Billy Clanton,Tom McLaury, Frank McLaury, and Billy Claiborne. “John Henry “Doc” Holliday was born in Griffin, Georgia, on August 14, 1851.”[1] It is said that he had surgery on his cleft palate when he was two months old, however some historians and physicians debate on whether or not this really happened. “He and his family moved to Valdosta, Georgia in 1864 where his mother died two years later of tuberculosis, Holliday was only 15 at the time.”[1] When he was 19 he moved to Philadelphia where he went to school to earn his dental degree. In 1873 he moved to Dallas, Texas and decided to open a dental office. After a year or so he became a dedicated gambler when he realized that it was more profitable than his dental work. In 1875 he had his first run-in with the law and was indicted for illegal gambling. He was found guilty and left the state for a few years. Holliday came back to Texas in 1877 where he met a man named Wyatt Earp. They began a new unlikely friendship that they would keep until their deaths. They were introduced to each other by a man named...

LA UNIÓN EUROPEA: PROCESO DE INTEGRACIÓN, OBJETIVOS Y NATURALEZA JURÍDICA No resulta fácil establecer una fecha concreta en el proceso de integración europea. Durante la primera mitad del siglo XX, se produjeron algunos intentos pero sin éxito definitivo. En 1947, Francia y Gran Bretaña firmaron el Tratado de Dunkerque, basado en el compromiso de asistencia mutua ante un eventual resurgimiento militar de Alemania. Un año después se extendió la alianza franco-británica a los tres países del Benelux (Bélgica, Holanda y Luxemburgo), firmándose el Tratado de Bruselas de 1948, que, a partir de 1954 se denominaría Unión Europea Occidental (UEO). Desde el punto de vista económico, destaca la iniciativa del Secretario de Estado norteamericano George Marshall, basada en un plan de ayuda masiva a Europa para facilitar el proceso de reconstrucción (Plan Marshall). El Plan Marshall pretendía resolver esta situación, dotando a los estados europeos de los medios necesarios para producir que les permitiesen exportar y poner en marcha sus economías. Los estados europeos decidieron gestionar en común la ayuda americana mediante la creación en 1948 de la Organización...
