...Save Our Beaches! The Study Behind Coastal Pollution Plastic Pollution is a significant contributor to the non-point source pollution found in the Monterey Bay and around the world. While terms such as Marine Debris and Ocean Trash have been used to describe the garbage that enters the ocean, a growing number of scientists, researchers and marine-based organizations have adopted the term Plastic Pollution not only because 90% of floating ocean trash is plastic, but because the term pollution highlights that we are dealing with a pervasive substance that contaminates water, the cells of organisms, and knows no boundaries. (Plastic Pollution, n.d.) 80% of plastic pollution that enters the ocean originates from land. Common sources include: recreational beach users, people who drop litter on sidewalks and streets, plastics manufacturers and transporters, illegal dumping, and areas with inadequate trash receptacles. All land-based plastic pollution has the potential to become ocean pollution. Plastics easily blow into the ocean or washed down storm drains that flow directly to the Bay, and oceans around the world. (Marine Problems: Pollution, n.d.) Marine animals often mistake plastic pieces for food. For example, bird species such as pelicans or albatross will mistake pieces of plastic for small fish. Once the animal ingests the plastic, their body cannot digest it. The plastic item will remain in the animals’ stomach causing the animal to feel full. Thus the animal will eventually...

...does not have time to find other means of transportation other than my car because I can not be late to school and I most definitely can not be late to work. Having a vehicle for transportation is becoming more expensive as the days go by. No one can ever expect to know what the gas prices will be like tomorrow. One day they go way up high to about $2.64 per gallon and the next day they are back down to about $2.41, of course that's just an estimation of what I have seen. It is very frustrating since the price is always changing managing money becomes a little more complicated because you never know what to expect. Everyone thinks that because gas is about $0.03 cents less at the gas station down the street that they are going to save a lot more money. For example, I live in the northeast side of town, and sometimes I drive to the east side to do run errands, gas always seems to be lower on the east side of town. It is not too much lower approximately $0.06 cents my argument though is that of course it is not worth trying to find the gas station with the lowest price because it wastes time, along the way after pumping gas there will be a gas station with a lower price, and it also wastes gas driving to the gas station out of the way and a little further down the street. Finding the gas station with the lower price per gallon wastes time looking for it, driving there, and waiting in the line of cars that think a lot of money is being saved. In the time it took to look...

...ourselves at that checkout line as if we are playing a game of..., I am going to save more moo-la, also know as money, than I thought this week and I will have more funds in my pocket for this weekends fun! However, what if we looked at kindness as a coupon? I believe that we look at our lives day-to-day, more and more as if we are expecting someone to be nice to us. Not giving it a second clipping about what change we are saving by being kind to one another. Saving $1.00 in our bank of kindness, for that rainy day of, "I hate my life"....; also known as kindness, should be something we all think about . I mean, would it even take as long as scanning our eyes over the Sunday paper, looking online for coupon codes, or looking for those red clearance stickers? I believe we should take our kindness and think of it more as a savings in our coupon bank for a remarkable hoping for a $1.00 saved in the Universe of life. If I would consider it a savings of money, could I not think of it as a deposit on my own debts of unkindness? Does life and kindness not go hand in hand? Should I not recall the old saying "being kindness is goodness"..., if my parents didn't teach me after all someone had to teach me how to save a buck myself. I believe that looking into the eyes of a stranger. Being kind and pushing for nice, or making kind with an old foe isn't that bad. I mean, after all their goes another coupon you can save on Tracey. Keep my friends close and my enemies closure. Sadly, that is the...

...payroll. This includes using the CRC reimbursement system, and Concur expense reporting to accurately keep track of all mileage for full time employees and all expenses made while working for the company. Keeping track of expenses and mileage used by employees has been outsourced to this company to ensure that we are providing all employees with the right amount of compensation for their time and effort given to our company, as well as saving us time and effort in our accounting department and keeping track of receipts and mileage amounts. Entering receipts into the system is easy and simple by simply taking a snapshot of the receipt from your smart phone! Another reason we need to keep track of all of these expenses is to keep our costs down. The Concur system allows us to monitor the exact items that you are trying to expense out, and saves us cost on employees trying to expense added items on receipts that they should be purchasing on a separate receipt. Both of these applications are automatically integrated into our payroll system and then sent into our accounting department. This helps us monitor all of the expenses going out, and also helps us to figure out if there are items we are going to put through as expenses that should not be used. Some examples of items to be expensed would be photocopies, art supplies for displays, misc. office supplies, and by approval of your manager some items that can be used in everyday tasks set by said manager. Some examples...

TRUTH#2 * The Gospel is always the answer! apply it to our suffering * The only lasting and satisfying answer to life’s problems = increase your intimacy with God! * A life focused on Christ will not crumble amidst crisis , because there is complete trust in God. The plan is not easy to do because our self-centered ways cry out for relief in our terms. * “My strength is made perfect in weakness” * Look at “God’s agenda”, when a crisis hits, taking on his perspective. TRUTH#3 * God’s glory is always the goal. * In the “fiery furnaces” of our lives need to (1) always respond in a way that shows God is more important than anything else, (2) and respond in a way that if someone is watching , they could see God’s goodness in you . Therefore- we are glorifying God, because we are esteeming Him of highest value. Example—(Daniel 3:24-25) : These men risk there lives for God despite the consequences of being through into fire,which in the end God saves them. * “ If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. For whosoever will lose his life for my sake,the same shall save it (Luke 9 :23-24). * Our goal must be to use every circumstance to show in some way that God is first.

...Bethany Fuller Mrs. Drake Period 6 Oct. 7, 2012 Shared Humanity A lot of literature relates to common experiences and even to each other whether it’s fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and even movies. Common experiences are separated into categories like loss, rites of passage, survival, self-sacrifice, and beliefs. Fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and film often show common experiences in self-sacrifice to people of all ages and places. The fiction short story Through The Tunnel, by Doris Lessing, has a great example of self-sacrifice. Jerry is an 11 year old little boy, him and his mother are vacationing and he spends most of his time on the big kid side of the bay. Of course him being 11 and hanging around the bigger kids can make people do some silly things. Long story short, Jerry risked getting hurt swimming through a small, rocky tunnel to make the bigger kids like him. This relates to self-sacrifice and common experiences because many people sacrifice losing themselves to fit in with another group that may not be worth it in the end anyway. In the end the older boys’ attention didn’t even matter to Jerry, he felt like he didn’t need them anymore, he gained more confidence. Raven, from the fiction novel Vampire Kisses by Ellen Schreiber, is dating a vampire named Alexander. He leaves Raven to keep her from getting harmed by other vampires, but she risks her life to search for Alex anyway. Ravens self-sacrifice was to be with the person she loved no matter...

... Money Talk, Netrepreneur5 Comments Saving money imposes great advantages for your Personal Finance in the long run. Think about sustainable living that eco-friendly communities apply. They are trying to reduce consumption in order to save our environment for further destruction thus providing good living conditions for thenext generation. The same principle should apply to your money saving. If you reduce your unnessescary expenses today and live minimally, you will be able to save something you can use in the future. That really makes sense, right? Every penny you get to save will grow. It may not look big now but if you start saving soon enough, and practice restraint, it will certainly rise. Saving money has its own advantages, like peace of mind. You have peace of mind when you know you got something in your pocket when some health emergency arises. Saving money also provides fulfilment and security especially when paying debt and liquidity as a whole. Saving for your retirement seemed premature while you are on your mid-30 but there is such a thing called early retirement and forced retirement planning. Unforeseen reasons may come up which could lead to these things mentioned so you better come prepared for it. You also have to save for rainy days. After all, you will never know when it will happen. With the worldwide economic crisis, people lose job everyday and even if you are confident about your income today, you are never sure what tomorrow could bring. It is much...

...Because of God’s desire to save all people, he granted humankind necessary ways for them to be saved. God extends his love to everyone even though some refuse. In theology, I learned that there are four channels of God’s saving self-communication. The first channel is through the inner depth of my life experience called conscience. Even though my conscience may be erroneous, it is the thing that guides me to the right path. The second channel is through nature. God is everywhere – an immanent being but also transcendent which means that God is also beyond or above the range of normal. The third channel is through our relationship with other people. The fourth and last channel is through religion which binds us back to God. Among the four facets of God’s saving presence, I believe that I can feel Him most in my conscience. I can say that I can make a distinction between things that are right and wrong and also do what is correct or expected from a matured individual. I am fully aware of the things that are bad for me and other people. Being in a Catholic school for eleven years brings that adequate knowledge of right and wrong. There are times when things get tough and a lot of temptations lure me to do what I want instead of what is right and good. Fortunately, no matter what happens, there is still that small voice in my head that urges me to move away from the decisions and things that will harm me afterwards. I feel that God is in my conscience because He guides me to the...

...very useful for a teacher when it comes to neatly organising a spreadsheet with many tables of class’s results. By defining a range means that tables are easy to input into formulae, and will help reduce errors. AutoSum is very beneficial to a teacher because it simply adds up an entire column without having to add each cell individually. This saves a lot of time, and helps reduce errors, especially if there is lots of students’ data. Weaknesses: Macros are not included in the spreadsheet, which would’ve been very useful for a teacher. Macros stop repetitive tasks being completed over and over again. This is useful as it saves a lot of time to the teacher, e.g. if they click a customised button which filters data or changes sheets. This will also improve the usability of the spreadsheet and make the data input easier. Goal seek, which also isn’t included in the spreadsheet, would also be very beneficial for a teacher. Goal seek is where a cell total changes in order to reach a possible result, and this would be vital if a teacher needs to see how many more points a student would need to reach their target grade. This will help save time as it helps draw faster conclusions, it’ll reduce errors as there is lots of students’ data, and helps get the best solution....

...The quote by Rachel Carson is very motivating in having to take stringent measures to protect the earth from further degradation. Carson says,” we stand where two roads diverge. But unlike Robert Frost’s poem, they are not equally fair. The road we have been travelling is deceptively easy, a smooth superhighway on which we progress with speed, but at its end lies disaster. The other fork in the road less travelled by offers our last and only chance to reach a destination that assures the preservation of our earth.” This quote shows two parallel scenarios. The first scenario represents a carefree way of using natural resources in our world that has led to the destruction of our earth and the environment. The latter scenario presents a state of affairs where people live inn sustainable ways. This first section looks at the scenario painted where someone is travelling in a superhighway. In this set up life seems good and people find living being easy and probably cheap. This represents’ the way people have been living over the past millennia. All along people were fighting for survival only. There was less emphasis on the preservation of natural resources. Land was being seriously exploited. An example is that on the use of energy. The human race, since the time of the industrial revolution has been relying on the use of non-renewable sources of energy. Crude oil, which is an exhaustible source of energy, has been used widely. Machinery and equipment used diesel, petrol or methane...

...three bullets left and Bill, one of the men, uses them to try to save one of their dogs; he misses and is eaten with the dog. Only Henry and two dogs are left; he makes a fire, trying to drive away the wolves. They draw in close, and he is almost eaten, saved only by a company of men who were traveling nearby. The wolves are in the midst of a famine. They continue on, lead by several wolves alongside the she-wolf, and when they finally find food the pack starts to split up. The she-wolf mates with one of the wolves and has a litter of pups. Only one survives after several more famines, and he grows strong and is a feisty pup. They come to an Indian village where the she-wolf's (who is actually half-wolf, half-dog) master is. He catches her again and White Fang, her pup, stays nearby. Soon, she is sold to another Indian, while White Fang stays with Gray Beaver, her master. The other dogs of the village terrorize White Fang, especially one named Lip-lip. White Fang becomes more and more vicious, encouraged by his master. He kills other dogs. Gray Beaver goes to Fort Yukon to trade and discovers whiskey. White Fang is passed into the hands of Beauty Smith, a monster of a man. He fights other dogs until he meets his match in a bulldog and is saved only by a man named Scott. Scott tames White Fang and takes him back to California with him. There White Fang learns to love his master and his master's family and even saves Scott's father from a criminal that escaped from the nearby prison...
