...steps that you once took. It all goes back to the day of the Farewell of HSC Batch '12. After the official announcement, the newly formed executive panel of year 2012-13 was practically beaming at each other, secretly making a promise of a great time that was to follow. Actually, everyone but Shorna. She was happily posing for photos when we literally had to beg her to join the team, when she decided to take mercy on us ... Because without her Graphics would have been meaningless. Alina, Nuzhat, Bushra, Parisa, Prianta, Samira, Tahsin, Shorna and I - the team was now officially complete. It was a good time that VELC gave us. Personally, I would say it was not just good, it was great. When you work in a team, it is not just work. You spend time with your team, you smile with them, you laugh with them and if you are lucky enough, you also cry buckets of happy tears with them and also on their shoulders. And in this scenario, I was very lucky. Prianta, Parisa, Samira, Shorna, Tahsin and Nuzhat – I have known them since forever. But this club gave me wonderful friends like Alina and Bushra too. How else would I have known chasing Bushra across the campus with a camera pointed at her would be so much fun? Just so you know, I never really posted those weird pictures. One of the main reasons VELC holds incredible sentimental value for...

...Samira Brawner 03/07/2014 Major Assignment Stem Cell Research There are three stem cell procedures I agree with Adult stem cells, amniotic stem cells and induce pluripotent stem cells because they do not involve human embryos. Adult or somatic stem cells “exist throughout the body after embryonic development and are found inside of different types of tissue. These stem cells have been found in tissues such as the brain, bone marrow, blood, blood vessels, skeletal muscles, skin, and the liver. They remain in a quiescent or non-dividing state for years until activated by disease or tissue injury “(MNT, 2013).The benefits of Adult stem cell transplants (bone marrow transplants) have been used for over 40 years in successfully treating cancers such as leukemia, multiple myeloma and lymphomas, and research has now opened the doors to regenerative and reparative therapeutics. Adult stem cell treatment is widely used in the medical field and I will always support it. Amniotic stem cells “are multipotent stem cells of mesenchymal origin extracted from amniotic fluid. They are able to differentiate into various tissue type, such as skin, cartilage, cardiac tissue, nerves, muscle, and bone and have potential medical applications, especially in organ regeneration (MNT,2013) Induced pluripotent stem cells are adult cells that have been genetically reprogrammed to an embryonic stem cell–like state by being forced to express genes and factors...

...idea that because there is no right and wrong actions, just personal preferences there is no such thing as morality. It also states that morals are just a personal preference So, any moral claim may be translated as a reporting of one’s feelings. The best example here in this type is “Stealing things from good friends is wrong” can be rewrite as “I disapprove of stealing things from good friends.” In this case, moral right or wrong is based on the individual’s opinion. In the other word, if two people have different opinions about a same moral questions. Then they might have two opposite ideas. For instance, Katie believes that lying is wrong because when people lied to her, they expect to treat him like a thing not a person. However, Samira thinks that lying is right due to some cases that people can save innocent lives by lying to a bunch of dangerous guys. I can say that both of them are right because they have their own evidence to approve their ideas. There is no certain evidence that moral rules exist. So, moral truth exists, but is not based on universal standards. Nobody can say that lying is absolutely right or wrong because people can have many so many evidences to approve either side right or wrong. As a result, personal feelings must provide the certain rules of moral truth. Like the example before, Katie’s moral truth is built on the respects and trusts between her friends and her; on the other hand, Samira's bases on saving innocent lives is the most important...

...Laxman Diyali Professor: Samira Taheri English 1301 04/08/2016 Critical Analysis Essay Police brutality is a complex phenomenon, which has widespread effect on today’s society. The black community has been subjected of police brutality since many decades in the United States. In recent days, the law enforcement officers come under serious accusation of using excessive force often that leads to unjustifiable assaults, shooting and beating against the minor communities. In history, racist violence, police brutality, has been used to crush the black people voice to sphere power and privileges of the white people. For instance, the killing innocent young black man in McIntosh County and Ferguson were the two symbolic incidents that lead to mass protest against the law enforcement officers. The outrage in McIntosh and Ferguson were about something difficult to accept the systematic violation against black people largely by the while supremacy. The practice of police brutality has a strong effect on a main segment of black community. It is not a new issue; it has become more intensive recently due to some incidents that have occurred in the past few years that have been highly publicized. "Praying for Sheetrock”, a non-fiction book written by Melissa Fay Greene is a true story of the tiny black community awakening against the white authoritarian rule. It is principally the story of Thurnell Alston, a black man who protests against the white hierarchy in McIntosh County and inspired...

...Samira Garner Sociology IP 4 Professor Smith American InterContinental University Online April 16, 2012 I agree with experts that weakening families are the cause of some of the problems society faces today. There isn’t enough discipline, morals and value put into the children anymore. Parents have become too lenient with their children and this is why things are getting worse for them as they grow up. Since the 1960s, women are more independent when it comes to finances, which has resulted in high tensions in marriages. When a marriage consists of emotional and physical abuse, it is best that it is dissolved for the children’s sake. This on the other had causes children to suffer in school and social relationships in the wake of going through a divorce. Parents bring conflicts into their parenting and their romantic lives, drudging up their childhood memories and too often putting their own needs before their kids. The emotional toll of divorce becomes feelings of loss, rage and mourning for everyone involved. It also often becomes parentification of a child eventually (Castelloe, 2011). According to Castelloe, “alloparenting” or collaborative nurturing is one more way to set back the rupture of families. Extended family members can play a role in children’s’ lives to help them learn to control themselves emotionally and teach them how to tolerate frustration and prolonged gratification. But when couples have children later in life, there is no extended family...

...Paleoanthropology can be defined as the study of the chronology, remains, physical structure and habitats of early hominids. The fields of anthropology and paleoanthropology have been dominated by one family name since the 1930's, the Leaky family. Three generations of the Leakey family have been piecing together the story of our origins for over six decades. The patriarch of the family is Louis S.B. Leakey who was a paleontologist, an archaeologist and an anthropologist. He was born in Kenya in 1903 where he lived with his parents among Kenya's largest tribe. He attended college at the University of Cambridge and in 1924 during a break from his studies due to an injury; he went on an archeological expedition to Africa and was hooked. He led four fossil hunting expeditions there. He returned to Cambridge and completed his degree in both Archaeology and Anthropology in 1926. During a fellowship at St. John's College he published his first book, The Stone Age Cultures of Kenya Colony, which was about his extensive fieldwork in Africa during his expeditions. With the notoriety that he was receiving, Louis obtained a grant and went to Olduvai Gorge in 1931. He was determined to prove his theory that Africa was where our ancestors originated. He spent his first twenty years there without any significant findings, but did find many fossils and Stone Age tools. Louis married Mary Nicol in 1937 and she shared a mutual desire with him to find the origins of man. ...

My actual word count for this paper - 1,665 I am highly motivated, and I am committed to excellence. Marketers are now able to use tools such as social networking and email marketing to target prospective customers. Social media has made two-way communication easier between organization and customer and is proving valuable when trying to gain more insight into customer’s attitudes and perceptions.Years ago sales professionals had the majority of information, and we as consumers depended on sales professionals to inform and guide us in our decisions. In the past we needed professional sales people as they controlled the knowledge. Then around 1989 and beyond....the Internet changed everything and gave more power to the consumer. When the Internet began to go mainstream it opened the gates of the information super highway to the consumer in ways that had never been seen before. Then technology, computers, software and automation started taking hold and consumers had much more info at their fingertips to guide them, or at least point them in the right direction. Technological advances are enabling marketing professionals to use more specifically targeted digital channels to get their message across and email marketing is a low cost way to get your message directly to consumers. Digital marketing may be on the rise but print...

...Tootsie Roll Industries, Inc. has been engaged in the manufacture and sale confectionery products since 1896 when Austrian-born Leo Hirshfield opened a tiny candy shop in New York City. Hirshfield handcrafted a variety of products, including an individually wrapped, oblong, chewy, chocolate candy that quickly became a customer favorite. The hand wrapping – believed to be an industry first – enabled Hirshfield’s product to stand out among the competitor’s candy-counter offerings, which were sold by the scoop from jars (St. James Press, 1996). Sold at a penny apiece and affectionately named after Hirshfield’s five-year old daughter, Clara, whose nickname was “Tootsie,” Tootsie Rolls propelled Hirshfield’s modest corner store into burgeoning candy enterprise that has evolved in little more than a century into the multinational corporation, Tootsie Roll Industries. The Tootsie Roll Industry main head quarter and production plant is located in Chicago, Illinois. Its operations are also in Illinois; Massachusetts; Tennessee; Wisconsin; Mexico City, Mexico; and Concord, Ontario. Today they employee around 2200 employees.

...purposes. While more conservative Islamic believers see the veil as “a new form of political liberation”(Islam Unveiled) from Western influences. The traditional Islamic head veil is a religious visual representation of the individualistic identity battle that the Arab people still struggle with. Not only does the veil controversy complicate individual identity, but it also complicates the definition of Arab identity. Through these particular women wearing the veil, we are not just able to understand their respected identity, but also its relationship with the women that wear them.The contested issue of the veil is best represented in its personal, as well as political relationship it has with the women that wear them. British journalist Samira Ahmed explores the personal and political effects that the veil has had on Islamic women. She finds that not only is she questioning the choice of the veil, which is used to rebel against Western principles, but she is also questioning her own Islamic identity. In the documentary, Ahmed argues that the religion is “where people [specifically women] are treated as invisible outside of their respected religious establishments”(Islam Unveiled) . One of the main religious, conservative arguments for the veil can be found in the Quran. It states that “And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty.' (24. 31). Not only does this show that part of the veil argument is deep in religious doctrine, but it...

...been produced within the past 30 years. Early research on lesbian motherhood which largely aims to demonstrate their competency, overlooks how their sexuality factors into their experiences of motherhood and, in particular, the experiences of butch lesbian mothers. Lesbian women are increasingly becoming mothers and concurrently, portrayals of lesbian families are rising in mainstream media, given the limitations in literature and a shifting cultural and political landscape, a growing population of lesbian families is being left unanalyzed. Considering the shifts in culture, politics, and academia, it is important that literature is relevant. Yet, feminist accounts within motherhood studies have been noticeably absent beyond the late 1990s. Samira Kawash (2011) offers an extensive review of contemporary motherhood scholarship and finds that feminist academia has turned away from the field of study within the last decade. Only a few scholars are starting to look at gay and lesbian families (Gamson 1998; Shugart 2005; Walters 2001). Considering “the family is the most active site of sexuality” (Foucault 1978, 109), this presents an opportunity to address how sexuality factors into discourses of motherhood. Often cited as the most prominent contemporary motherhood scholar, Andrea O’Reilly is working feverishly to resurrect the field; however, her work fails to consider power and experiences (Kawash 2011). Kawash (2011) speculates that the absence is due to the rise in post-structural...
