...Comparing Two Magazines For my compare and contrast essay, I have decided to compare two magazines in the financial business. The name of the first magazine is” The economist” and the second magazine is “Forbes” The theme of the first magazine is to highlight, how and what type of businesses to start and make money without putting in much of the hard work. The very first page of the magazine shows an absolute image of the man and women dressed up with lots of money and a road of success. The magazine rapidity claims” Sure ways to make money”. It seems like editor is personally involved in guaranteeing the success of the business with highlighting text displaying “Make $40 Million with eco-friendly herbs and sprouts” or “Make 15 million in the first year with Dollar Varity stores” As I am turning and reading pages more and more, I realize that this magazine is not meant to show issues, techniques, pros and cons of starting up a business but it is more like infomercials showing the top returns one can reap from his investments. The magazine forces me to realize that I am missing an essential experience in my life by not starting up the business. The magazine displays beautiful color and picture schemes. The magazine also highlights few of the success stories of the entrepreneurs. Overall this magazine makes business as a seamless transition of normal day today activity to a profit generating machine, but to some extent it also highlights few realistic...

...Taylor Robinson English 101 OL 7 Professor Charles Hood Paper 2 April 2, 2012 Putting Pictures To Words Henry David Thoreau was a man of many talents. A writer, a philosopher, a naturalist, and the leading man of Transcendentalism, Thoreau was truly a genius of his time. His contributions to the world were extremely momentous, such as his role in Abolitionism or his famous work of literature Walden. But it is perhaps his insignificant work that draws us the most, the private everyday musings of his journal. Through descriptive writing, Thoreau manages to convey what he was seeing to us readers. His gift with words and imagery stand well on their own, but what if there could be a literal representation as well? That is where one can draw from Peyruis. Peyruis illustrates the beauty of nature using the setting of this small French village, and by utilizing these images one could put a whole new perspective on the writings of Thoreau, if done properly. In “Cezanne’s Mountain” (Bartrug, Hood Peyruis, pages 28-29), a vast meadow stretching into a majestic forest then into magnificent mountains is depicted. Clouds blot the sky, and snow is draped over the peaks of the mountains, and a large forest meeting the edge of the meadow is the perfect portrait of freedom and nature. Henry Thoreau describes a similar scene: “Nature does not cast pearls before swine. There is just as much beauty visible to us in the landscape as we are prepared to appreciate, not a grain more...

...Alexis’s Death Tonja Cash EN101 English Composition Kim Donovan-Karaff January 6, 2014 I remember her waving her hand and blowing kisses to me. The sunlight danced across her beautiful face. Who have thought it would be the last image I would ever have of her. The morning started out horrible. The alarm clock never went off. My husband came home from working 3rd shift to find me still asleep. He called my name. “Tonja”? Are you going to work today? I jump up with a start. Oh, no, I am going to be late for work. I go to Alexis room and wake her up. Of course she is not ready to get up. This is our daily struggle. I lay her clothes out for school. I go into my room and begin pulling my clothes out for the day. I gave her time to get dressed before we start on her hair. I call out to her and she comes in my room. Instead of the cute Mary Jane shoes I laid out for her to wear with her dress, she has on tennis shoes. I ask her to go change her shoes. She immediately starts her pouting. This is typical 4 year old tantrum. This takes up another 30 minutes of my time. I try to reason with her. This doesn’t help. I tell her that I will let her wear her favorite tennis shoes tomorrow. When did she become so stubborn? I have reached my last straw. I tell her this is her last chance to change her shoes. I finally have to pop her hands and put the shoes on. We finally leave the house, over an hour late. As my husband drives toward my job, I’m thinking...

...It is amazing how the simple things can mean the most to children. My childhood glimmers with memories of bubble wrap, playing under the sprinklers, visits to grandmothers house and a solitary teddy bear. In the days before iPods, before computers were a necessity, there existed a world where every day was just another day in paradise and the aim was to explore as much as possible as quickly as possible. I, along with my twin sister and older brother lived in this world of imagination as children. To us, our house represented the whole world. I remember the day we had to say farewell to it. I stand in the garden. Our backyard was the place of many of our adventures. It was a child’s dream. In those days our garden was green with life and smelled of summer all year long. A brick path weaved through the luscious grass in a snake like fashion, and garden beds strategically placed around the edges of the path dotted the scene like blotches of colour in an impressionists painting. Images flash from the depths of my mind. To the left was where we had discovered the family of ducks that decided to settle into our swimming pool. Over on the concrete was where the three of us had formed a band with tennis racket guitars. To the right was where I had lost my tooth amongst the omniscient red bricks of the driveway. Memories of lessons learned come forth. At the end of the path stands a tree. Short in stature but potent in the fruit that it bears. Mangos. When I was about nine my brother...

...A seminar was conducted about marriage. At first I was skeptical about the marriage seminar idea because at first we were required to attend, second of all I didn’t know who the speakers were, and last at that time of the day my attention was very slim because of the hussle and bustle of school works. Upon entering the auditorium, I was expecting a marriage councilor or a parish priest to give the talk, but to my surprise it was a couple. They began the seminar by introducing themselves as a couple who has been married for a very long time. Well to me, at least the seminar conductors were experienced and they know what they will be taking about during the seminar. Also, they told us that they conduct the seminar yearly in Don Bosco for a consecutive 8 years already. Upon hearing this, I had a lot of expectations already even before the seminar started. So the seminar started about the whole background of marriage. Of course, there were several scenarios where there are a lot of reasons why a person should or should not get married in the first place. The first thing I remember they told us when they began the seminar is that marriage is not an event, it’s a lifetime commitment. To me the statement wasn’t really a surprise. Being a born-again Christian, I was exposed to the do’s and don’ts of having a relationship. In the seminar, they told us that building a relationship we should always consider marriage. That our reasoning and actions should always lead to a proper and God...

...Simple Machines Experiment 9 – Simple Pulleys Introduction Simple pulleys are a form of simple machines that makes heavy loads easier to lift. They have a grooved wheel that is used for a rope or belt to ride, and allows a force that is acting on one direction, to be changed to another more useful direction. Types of simple pulley: • Fixed Pulley – A pulley that is stationary relative to the earth • Movable Pulley – A pulley that is allowed to move freely, being cradled by a rope or belt. • Compound Pulley – Is a combination of both of the previously mentioned types. Aims and Objectives • To test if tension in a pulley cord changes due to a change in direction of the cord. • To determine if the Mechanical Advantage (M.A) of a compound pulley system.

...How to live a sustainable life Summery In “Sustainable Living at Home in Australia” Linda Cockburn tells us about how she and her family moved and lived in their backyard for 6 months, because they wanted to appreciate life more and they wanted to learn for good, that material goods isn’t the only thing in life. In the 6 months they lived in the backyard they used the yard and animals for food and power. They drank the rainwater and they used the sun for energy. Linda Cockburn asserts that they learned a lot during that period. For example they learned to mix their own shampoo, and make their own toilet paper. After the course where the family lived outside, Linda Cockburn published her book “Living The Good Life”, which is about how the family discovered things they never knew before, and how much happier they became. On the top of the event a lot of people have sent Linda Cockburn praise and said that the book has helped them a lot. Outline All of the three texts are about how to live a sustainable life, but it is different whom the texts are written to, and they tackle the subject in different ways. The first text questions, how necessary it is to use electronic devices and consumerism, this much, in our everyday. So many people are addicted to their phones, and so many people can’t go a day without buying anything. It’s only 50 years ago that people barely knew about these things. The author, Leo Babauta, reminds us about how important it is to remember, not to...

...con malinterpretaciones y lecturas equívocas de nuestros mensajes. Para empezar, tenemos que filtrar lo que decimos en relación con quién lo decimos. Por ejemplo, una noticia como el hecho de que estás embarazada puede ser manejada de distintas maneras dependiendo de las audiencias. A tu esposo se lo puedes decir en privado y en persona quizá con una pista o de manera directa. Pero no puedes hacerlo de la misma forma con el resto de tu entorno. A tus papás y a tus suegros quizás les llamen por teléfono, a tus amigas les pedirías te acompañen por un café, o incluso a la cita con el doctor. En la oficina lo anunciarías mucho más delicadamente y manteniendo los detalles al mínimo. La comunicación personal puede parecer muy sencilla a simple vista ya que no implica tantas formalidades sino que se establece en un ambiente mucho más cercano a nosotros mismos y con personas de nuestro entorno con las que se supone estamos en un nivel de confianza muy alto. Y sí, es más sencillo pero no por ello debemos confiarnos porque es en este rubro en que la comunicación tiene mayor importancia...

...Rodriguez 1 McNicholas AP Language and Composition December 16, 2012 Discussion Questions 1. In the author’s note Jon Krakauer claims that Christopher McCandless “invented a new life for himself’ searching a raw, transcendent experience.” Do you agree with the author’s assessment? How did McCandless re-invent himself? How was his life “transcendent” after he graduated from college? McCandless became his own individual and transformed himself. He started doing what he wanted to do, his own thing. Personality was different from who he once was he branched off. McCandless didn’t have the idle childhood, he wanted his own personal experiences. His parents were always busy, and he grew to be very stubborn and independent minded. He reinvented himself, he wanted the good life, completely letting go by changing and burning all of his money. Making a new beginning, took a chance on what he wanted to do. So he became something for himself, “McCandless walks south through the desert, arriving in the Topock, Arizona, where he buys a second hand canoe. 2. Krakauer titles his book Into The Wild which echoes Jack London’s work, The Call of the Wild. McCandless’s experience demonstrates the “grip wilderness has on the American imagination, the allure high-risk activities hold for young men of a certain mind…” How do you define “the call of the wild?” Does the call still exists in the same form it existed in previous periods in American history? How is the “wild” or the wilderness...

...WHO MOVED MY CHEESE? © Dr. Spencer.Johnson PARTS OF ALL OF US The Simple and The Complex The four imaginary characters depicted in this story -the mice: "Sniff" and "Scurry", and the little people: "Hem" and "Haw" -are intended to represent the simple and the complex parts of ourselves, regardless of our age, gender, race, or nationality. Sometimes we may act like Sniff Who sniffs out change early, or Scurry Who scurries into action, or Hem Who denies and resists change as he fears it will lead to something worse, or Haw Who learns to adapt in time when he sees changing leads to something better! Whatever parts of us we choose to use, we all share something in common: a need to find our way in the maze and succeed in changing times. The Story Behind the Story by Kenneth Blanchard, Ph.D. I am thrilled to be telling you "the story behind the story" of "Who Moved My Cheese?" because it means the book has now been written, and is available for all of us to read, enjoy and share with others. This is something I've wanted to see happen ever since I first heard Spencer Johnson tell his great "Cheese" story, years ago, before we wrote our book "The One Minute Manager" together. I remember thinking then how good the story was and how helpful it would be to me from that moment on. "Who Moved My Cheese? " is a story about change that takes place in a Maze where four amusing characters look for "Cheese" -- cheese being a metaphor for what we want to have in life, whether it is...
