...documentary, Alcatraz is Not an Island, describes the occupation that made Alcatraz a symbol for Indigenous people as motivation to stand up against the cruelty that they have experienced since the arrival of the Europeans. Hence the name of the film, Alcatraz can be seen as an inspiration for Indigenous people rather than an island. The first attempt to occupy Alcatraz took place in 1964 when a group of four Native Americans landed on the island and claimed it for four hours before the coast guard removed them. This became the inspiration for a group of San Francisco State students to attempt an occupation of their own in 1969. When attempting to make it to the island, only one boat agreed to assist the Native American's in their occupation. They were not able to dock on the island, but, Richard Oaks became the leader of the group when he jumped off the boat and swam to the island. After this brief occupation Richard Oaks returned to San Francisco and began to recruit people to join the movement. Oaks went to UCLA where eighty students agreed to join the movement. On November 20, 1969 a group of one-hundred Native Americans set sail from Sausalito and landed on Alcatraz Island, beginning the occupation that would last for nineteen more months. The goal of the occupiers was for the United States Government to allow the Indigenous people to create a culture center, museum, and a Native American University on the island. The United States government repeatedly refused to negotiate, however...

Hill Country Brewing was in Austin, as was the Celis Brewery, which distributed their beers in more than thirty states and in Europe. In the 1990s, a revival of small microbreweries, produce and sell on their premises their own brews. The eighteen brew pubs operating in 1995 were legally classified as retail businesses rather than breweries. Brew pubs are allowed to sell up to 5,000 barrels a year.

...PowerPoint for a Powerful Presentation PowerPoint is an excellent resource for presenters. If used well, it can help to organize and communicate complex information, clearly and concisely. PowerPoint is designed specifically for use during live presentations. Therefore, the design considerations are fundamentally different to those for print or web. Colours, font size, and layout should be quite different for a live presentation. You may ask, “Why use PowerPoint?” Well by using powerpoint it helps to grasp attention amongst the audience, guide discussions, help to tell a story and support message delivered. Having effective slides consist of using design templates, standardize position of text and /or images, and the contrast of colours and styles. Do not forget to include only necessary information. Be sure to limit the information to essentials and that the content is self-evident. Be consistent with effects, transitions and animation but, be careful, too many slides can lose your audience. For an effective presentation be sure that the layouts of the slides are simple and uncluttered. If you wish, there can be a single title line, and/or a small graphic of some sort. Otherwise, the slide area should be available for your text. Do not extend your text area to the very edges of the slide. Make sure the audience are able to see your text and the layout chosen are not clashing together. As shown here. The wrong choice of text and background colours can make your...

...It was billed as “the Summer of Love,” a blast of glamour, ecstasy, and Utopianism that drew some 75,000 young people to the San Francisco streets in 1967. Who were the true movers behind the Haight-Ashbury happening that turned America on to a whole new age? In a 25-square-block area of San Francisco, in the summer of 1967, an ecstatic, Dionysian mini-world sprang up like a mushroom, dividing American culture into a Before and After unparalleled since World War II. If you were between 15 and 30 that year, it was almost impossible to resist the lure of that transcendent, peer-driven season of glamour, ecstasy, and Utopianism. It was billed as the Summer of Love, and its creators did not employ a single publicist or craft a media plan. Yet the phenomenon washed over America like a tidal wave, erasing the last dregs of the martini-sipping Mad Men era and ushering in a series of liberations and awakenings that irreversibly changed our way of life. The Summer of Love also thrust a new kind of music—acid rock—across the airwaves, nearly put barbers out of business, traded clothes for costumes, turned psychedelic drugs into sacred door keys, and revived the outdoor gatherings of the Messianic Age, making everyone an acolyte anda priest. It turned sex with strangers into a mode of generosity, made “uptight” an epithet on a par with “racist,” refashioned the notion of earnest Peace Corps idealism into a bacchanalian rhapsody, and set that favorite American adjective, “free,” on a...

...Ensuring that visitors can read comfortably by not forcing them to squint at the content of a page is important. Depending on the type of message that is being portrayed, the text should be clean, clear, and legible. Spelling and typographic errors are just as important as the font choice, in this case. Also, the easiest font to read is a black font on a white background. This is especially important when considering accessibility needs of those who may not have the best eyesight. Strangely enough, text font inherently has the ability to invoke emotion in the reader. This can be good or bad, depending on the font chosen. Two basic types of fonts are the Serif and the Sans Serif. Serif is the text, like Times New Roman, that has that extra curve and tail on each letter. Sans Serif, can be remembered because Sans, meaning without / minus / lacking Serif, means that the letters do not have that tail and are straight, like the Arial font. Another consideration regarding the impact of fonts is the number of fonts used and whether they look good together. Ideally, no more than two fonts should be used in a design because it’s too distracting to the reader.

You do not necessarily need to put your own address on the letter—especially as that information should be on your resume. But definitely include immediate contact information (email/phone number)! Read on to find where you should include that information. Step 2: CHOOSE A PROFESSIONAL FONT. While this may seem pretty standard, it’s actually really important. Always send out cover letters in Times New Roman. It’s a classic font that won’t create problems. And WriteExpress.com explains “The serif font uses small horizontal lines and flourishes that carry the eye along and make the text easier to read than the rigid vertical lines of a sans serif font.” May sound pretty meaningless, but why risk...

...How to write a resume Method One of Five: Formatting Your Resume * Image titled Make a Resume Step 1 1*Format your text.* The first thing that a possible employer will see on your resume is the text. For that reason, it is very important that you make the right first impression. Choose a professional font in a size 11 or 12. Times New Roman is the classic serif font, while Arial and Calibri are two of the better choices for sans-serif. Even though Sans Serif fonts are more popular for resume, Yahoo has chosen Helvetica as the best font to use for your resumé. * Times New Roman is actually a little hard to read on a screen for many people. If you are emailing your resume, consider using Georgia instead for a more readable serif font. * You can use multiple fonts for different parts of your resume, but try to limit it to two maximum. Instead of changing between fonts, try making specific sections bold or italicized instead. * The font for your header and the introduction to a section may be a size 14 or 16, but otherwise you should not use a very large font. * Your text should always be printed in solid black ink. Make sure to deactivate any hyperlinks (like to your email) so that they don’t print in blue or another contrasting color. * Image titled Make a Resume Step 2 2*Set up the page.* Your page should have one inch margins all the way around with 1.5 or 2 point line spacing.

...Freddie Johnson John Clark English 201C 13 May 2015 Man-Made Water Crisis Over the past several years the state of California has been suffering from a drought that has left behind many farmers in the dust with their fallowed crops. The Central Valley, located in the heart of California, is home to a vast variety of crops that feed the world. The valley has taken the blunt of the hit caused by the recent drought as many farmers have received zero allocations of their contracted water along with many water wells drying up. The lack of water not only has an affect on farmers but anyone else that enjoys the succulent foods that articulate from California’s farms. As the lack of rainfall has had an influence on the current shortage of water, it is not the only factor contributing to it. “In 2009, the department of Fish and Wildlife ordered restrictions on the water run-off, which began the now six-year-old policy of sending billions of gallons of fresh water annually into the Pacific Ocean” (Hill). With California’s extensive need for water, legislation needs to transpire in order to use what precipitation we do receive to be allocated effectively and efficiently. California has been known for many substantial reasons, ranging from the Gold Rush of 1849 to its beautiful coast line that attracts many tourists. One important piece that always seems to be overlooked is the agricultural industry that thrives in the Central Valley. California produces much of the nations...

...There were many participating factors that led up to the California Gold Rush. One was…well the discovery of gold on January 24, 1848. After John Sutter discovered the gold, he asked his workers to keep the gold discovery a secret but it wasn’t too long since word got out. Once it did, more and more people came to California for a chance to strike it rich. Many even left their old lives behind for this once in a lifetime opportunity. The California Gold rush was an important event in history because it impacted our nation. We gained a large amount of population than anticipated in the state of California. In fact, it was the largest mass migration in U.S history. Additionally, in 1848 we had about 157,000 people and by 1853 there were...
