...CMST 192 2:00-3:15 pm - Dr. Fischer Chapter 5 Reflection Listening skills are a very important for each and every person to have. Without them, how is one able to understand another? We are all guilty of poor listening at some point, especially in this generation because of all the technology we have access to. Cell phones are one of the biggest distractions to listening that I have seen. A lot of times you will see students sitting on their phones during the middle of a lecture or even sitting on their phones at a dinner table rather than listening to what the people around them have to say. Other examples of reasons for poor listening are things like the effort a person is willing to put in, being overloaded with too much information at once, not knowing enough about the topic prior, just listening to respond and not actually taking what the person is saying into consideration or simply just not having respect for a person who may be speaking. There are many ways that a person can help themselves become a better listener such as reducing noise, putting in the effort to listen, stay focused on the conversation, try to have prior knowledge, avoid distractions and be respectful! I personally am someone who is very easily distracted by my phone during classes and that is something I am trying to work on because as soon as I put it away I will get so much more out of the classes I am taking. Noise doesn’t just have to be physical, it can be psychological which is what distracts...

...It's early in the morning, a Tuesday ironically, when Billy gets the call to collect Sam Winchester’s soul. She's surprised that Sam is being collected, and Dean isn't, because she had always assumed they would go out swinging, together. When she gets to Sam, the scene before her is nothing like she imagined the younger Winchester’s death to look like. There are no demons, or angry spirits, he isn't killed by a wendigo, or a witch. He's killed by a seventeen year old boy, driving an old Chevy pickup. Sam is lying almost motionless, in the middle of a quiet road. He’s the victim of a hit and run. There’s an awful lot of blood surrounding him, pooling around his chest, and his blood is bubbling rhythmically from his mouth. As a reaper, she's seen her fair share of hit and run deaths, but this is different. This is Sam Winchester, the man who saved the world from Apocalypse, not once but twice, the man who rid the world of the devil, twice. The man who has killed thousands of evil creatures alongside his brother, and now here he lay, in the middle of the road, after being hit by a truck. Alone. She can see the pain he’s in, see the tears rushing from his eyes, she can hear him calling out to his older brother, but no one will hear him. She can see the events leading up to his death, Sam leaving his and Dean's hotel room, to go on a walk after an insignificant argument, following the side of the road for exactly three miles, before a truck comes hurdling down the wrong side of...

...The countryside was lush, sparkling with a plum blue serene from the early morning sunrise. Atop the highest of the Vilorian Mountains, the city of Astral stood silent against the ringing of silver trumpets from the north highlands. The travelers crossing the last of the mountains rocky crossings took in the scene from under the fruits of a Bombaly tree, standing colossal at one hundred meters in height. Petty fruits the size of a child’s fist lay strewn about under its goliath canopy, dripping with ruby red nectar. The morning wind was crisp and slightly harsh, a sign to all that the winter seasons were coming with quickness. The trail leading up to the city was a four day expedition from the coast, and it had been a taxing journey for all in company. From where he lingered on the edge of the vast mountain Cyril looked down upon the Port of Themme, twenty leagues off. The brilliant light of the day lit up the ocean and surrounded all with a dazzling view of the great maritime reefs that stretched as far as the eye could see. The vastness of the blue ocean always seemed to enlighten Cyril when it stared up at him from the deep, and like always, he treasured the view for a fleeting moment. But with great beauty comes great sorrow, and at that moment the reality of the daunting mission he was on got the better of him, turning his gaze southwards to his...

...Taking online classes and reaching one's maximum potential can be quite a challenge. In order to complete classes one must be able to set realistic goals and time-lines. A plan must be designed to incorporate work, family, and school. Last but not least, one must face the challenge of not physically being present in a classroom setting. Online classes can be a unique challenge, however; it is not impossible to successfully complete courses. Realistic goals and time-lines are almost always the key to being successful in anything one may do, online classes are no exception. Setting goals at the beginning of each course as to the grade one would like to achieve. Another goal that could be set is what does one want to learn and get out of the particular course. Tasks must be set in place for each day that the individual knows that they can accomplish. For instance, on day one of an assignment, complete all the necessary reading. Day two listen to any video lectures and read over instructor notes. Day three do homework and any class assignments. Day four review any notes that you have taken and the feedback form instructor as you are preparing for the test that week. Setting goals and time-lines help to keep you on track and where you need to be with the lesson. A plan must be designed to integrate school, work, and family to maintain an equal balance. Working and taking classes of any kind proves to be a challenge. Most people work at least 40 hour work weeks, but some people...

...Anna Prioletti Professor Watts English 102 A24 January 20, 2013 Through the Eyes of Dean Winchester: On the Road and On the Hunt In my favorite TV show, Supernatural, one of the protagonists and my favorite character is Dean Winchester, a certainly very round character. The series begins in Lawrence, Kansas with the demonic death of Dean’s mother Mary. Consequently he, his brother Sam, and his father John are thrust into the world of the supernatural. John becomes obsessed with hunting the evil he encounters and ultimately tracking down the demon that killed Mary. As Dean grows, he learns more and more about hunting, weaponry, and the supernatural creatures that haunt this world. Due to circumstance, he is forced to grow up at an early age as he helps his father and fills the maternal role for Sam. Dean is such a standout and memorable character to me because of his never-failing selflessness, fierce protective nature, and emotionally complex mind. Throughout the show, it is easy to see how selfless Dean is. In his mind, family always comes first no matter the consequences or what may happen to him. Growing up moving from place to place with his hunter father and young brother, Dean learns family is all he has. He and his father had a militaristic relationship in that Dean did whatever he was told and never questioned anything or argued. He put aside any dreams or aspirations he may have had to stick with his dad and help him get revenge while also taking...

The Airplanes made white lines around the sky, filling the sky with beautiful patterns made by the white lines. As we started walking to our right, the hustle and bustle of a Bicycle Rental Shop could be heard. Smells of the aroma of mouth watering food could be smelt from a distance. When we entered the shop we were greeted by sales assistants standing by the door. One of the sales assisstants took us to the mountain bike section. As I entered the section, I was amazed by the sight. From head to toe were colourful bikes lining agaiinst the walls. Small bikes, medium bikes and large bikes were piled against the wall. I chosed a ruby red bike and my Uncle chose a blue bike. As we had a day rental, we decided to cycle to Changi Beach and East Point. I hopped on my bike and started to cycle. along the way we passed many shops selling food, drinks, children playing in the sea or building sandcastles. The bicycle trail winded further East. There was a part where the bicycle trail winded near a pach of the beach and we could see the clear blue water rising on the beach and lowering back down into the sea. as it rised, we could see a tiny bit of the beautiful, peaceful, loving underwater world. The water smelt fresh but it also smelt a bit salty. Moving...

...kfc The beginning of kfc after leaving the family home at the age of 12, Sanders passed through several professions, with mixed success. In 1930, he took over a Shell filling station on U.S. Route 25 just outside North Corbin, a small city on the edge of the Appalachian Mountains. It was here that he first served to travellers the recipes that he had learned as a boy: fried chicken and other dishes such as steaks, country ham, and pancakes. Originally using his own dining room table, in 1934, he purchased the larger filling station across the street and expanded to six tables. By 1936, this had proved successful enough for Sanders to be given the honorary title of Kentucky colonel by Governor Ruby Laffoon. The following year he expanded his restaurant to 142 seats, and added a motel he purchased across the street, naming it Sanders Court & Café. Sanders was dissatisfied with the 30-minute duration it took to prepare his chicken in an iron frying pan, but he refused to sacrifice quality by deep frying the product. In 1939, the first commercial pressure cookers were released onto the market, predominantly designed for steaming vegetables. Sanders bought one, and modified it into a pressure fryer, which he then used to fry chicken. As well as production-time-reducing to be comparable with deep frying, the new method produced flakier, moister chicken. In 1940, he finalised what came to be known as his Original Recipe of 11 herbs and spicesn 1960 the company had some 200 franchised...

Just imagine, having the glory from saving someone’s life. Do you think you could pull it off? First, let’s explain what a hero is. A hero is someone who cares about others and is willing to help them. They are the life rafts for our ocean of danger. In our world, there are many examples of heroic people. One example of a hero is Ruby Bridges. Do you know who she is? Bridges, born in 1954, was the first black child to go to an all-white school. At age 6, she passed a specific test that allowed her to attend the William Frantz School in New Orleans. Only six kids passed, so she must be a fountain of knowledge. This helped continue the Civil Rights Action. When she arrived at the school, Federal Marshals had to protect her. People threw objects. People were yelling. Barricades were set up. It was so chaotic that Ruby had to be kept in the principal’s office...
