...Spring Break 2013: A Journey of Riches I embarked to Haiti in Spring 2013 because I love to travel. I imagined this trip to be a fun time away from the AUC, but little did I know was that this little country on half of an island would forever change how I viewed the world. I must say, I was not well versed on Haiti prior to the trip. I can begrudgingly confess that my perception of Haiti was a product of the American media. I believed what my country had told me: things were bad, really bad and getting worse. More than seeing this seemingly hopeless poverty stricken country, I was able to dive head first into the culture and history of what it means to call yourself a Haitian. My preconceived notion of poverty could not compete with the sights awaiting me in various areas of Haiti. If nothing else, Haiti, moreover Haitians taught me to be grateful for all that I had been blessed with in America. Especially the little things I would generally take for granted like an endless hot water shower, adequate shelter, and consistent electricity. It was difficult for me to put myself in my Haitian counterparts shoes. A 21-year-old girl living in a poverty stricken country that had survived an earthquake only to be hit by a hurricane two years later. The Haitians are a tenacious people, which was eloquently and majestically illustrated to me through our crash course in Haitian history. It was also evident by the “extreme” measures that their youth would go to in order to ensure...

MATH 3331 will no longer substitute for MATH 3321 Engineering Math. g. There are a number of other prerequisite changes, especially in the 3rd and 4th semesters. Study the new flow charts carefully. 2. Transition Schedule: a. All items above except the Capstone Design changes will take effect immediately in Fall 2011. b. New Capstone Design sequence (ECE 4335-4336): i. Fall 2013:4335 will be offered for the first time. 4334 will be offered for the last time, ii. Spring 2014:4335 and 4336 will be offered each long semester (Fall and Spring) from this semester on. 3. Students who have already taken ECE 2331: a. Through the Fall 2013 semester, ECE 4334 will continue to be taught, so you should follow the 2010-2011 (or previous) Degree Plan. b. If you don't take Sr. Design until Spring 2014 or later, you will still follow the 2010-2011 Degree Plan, and simply petition to take ECE 4336 instead of 4334. 4. Students who have not already taken ECE 2331: a. You should switch to the 2011-2012 Degree Plan. b. Or, equivalently, you can stay on the 2010-2011 (or previous) Degree Plan, and petition to take 4335 in place of 2331, and 4336 in place of 4334. Clearly, a. is more straightforward! 5.

...Organization Ken Vought XMGT/216 August 2, 2013 Dr.Vera Gill Organization Dear Senior Management, It has been brought to my attention that during the unionized strike one or more employees have sabotaged a machine within the bottling plant. The infraction came from an unknown chemical, which was put into the machine. This has now contaminated 120,000 bottles of our spring water. From what we have found the chemical is very minute and will cause no harm to consumers unless the water is drank in excess. This has caused a huge dilemma for us as a company on the financial end. Recalling 120,000 bottles of natural spring water will be costly as well as desterilizing the machine again. However, we have built our pride and reputation on having pure natural spring water and in my opinion I would say we have to recall the contaminated water no matter how minute the contamination is. If even only one person got sick or suffered a long term illness due to this it could close us down all together. With that being said, I would advise that we get the recall notice out in a rush, and a cleaning crew in to clean that machine and check the others before we resume daily operations of production. I understand this putting us in a financial crunch and may take a while to recover from. The fact is, we sell only pure natural spring water and this is not pure so we cannot sell it or we cannot claim to sell pure water. Not to mention, if there is any risk of someone becoming ill from our...

Tactlessly, the employee introduced a chemical on one of the machines, which instigated 120,000 bottles of the spring water. In line to our new ad operation that highlights the cleanliness of our natural spring water, this malevolent performance has triggered countless destruction and foremost hindrance for our business. I trust that it is fairly essential to notify the community about this event, community consciousness to recollection the soiled jugs of water will be fairly expensive and influence transport suspicion in the direction of our business. Conversely, we need to set up a direct conference to mature a new approach that will resolve assistance the business uphold an optimistic duplicate in the judgment of the community and our faithful consumers. The business must create the choice to do an instant evoke of the dirty bottles of natural spring water. Equally well as doing a recollection, the business should sort the result of eliminating the operative that disrupted the business produce and status. It resolves likewise to be imperious that the community be relieved that the business is remorseful and that the upcoming of the business is relentlessly stirring ahead.

...Dear friend I predict you maybe kind of shocked or amazed to be hearing from me after such a long while. I hope you're keeping fine and everything's swell in Salinas. I guess you may have of heard I got married, this guy named Curley. He's the son of a big rancher and we live out at the ranch. We grow barley mostly out here. All the workers live in the bunkhouse, but me and Curley live in a big two by four house. Curley's fixing to decorate it up real nice; as soon as he's done I was thinking you could visit and stay a while? It's mighty different out here to Salinas, not many folks to talk to. There's just me, Curley, his old man, and the hired hands; they're drifters, mainly here in spring and harvest time. Oh and there's this uppity nigger of course, kept in the stable, so I don't talk to him. I don't talk to no fat lipped nigger! Anyways the boys start work early morning and finish late afternoon, they all go back to the bunkhouse and most times play cards. Sometimes Curley and all the boys have a horseshoe tournament going on, I don't like it when that happens cause I'm all on my own in the house or out there, but it is one of the few times Curley lets me go outside. Other times he tries to keep me in the house. He gets mighty jealous even though I never give him cause to...

...Company has operated a plant in Michigan, which manage by Brendan O’Rourke. Currently, they are producing Ice Mountain bottled-water. To add to this, Nestle wants to increase the amount of water pump so that they can create a bigger market of bottled-water. However, Michigan Citizens for Water Conservation (MCWC), a Mecosta local resident group, worry that the over pumping groundwater will have an effect towards the environment, and consequently, they wanted to stop the Ice Mountain bottled-water plant. Therefore, the main issues for Nestle can be summarized as listed below: • The Nestle company pumps groundwater, but the ownership of groundwater is controversial. However, there were many arguments regarding Nestle pumping the water from the spring, yet a MCWC’s (Michigan Citizens for Water Conservation) lawyer – Jim Olson agree and explain it under the doctrine of reasonable use which states” the owners of a stream can use its water as long as it’s in connection with their land”. In addition, David K. Ladd argues that the water that was put in the product is no longer water; it is considered a food and is regulated by the Food and Drug Administration. • In 2003, Nestle was ordered by Michigan state court judge – Lawrence Root to turn off the pumps due to Michigan climate began to change. In addition, a year after Jennifer M. Granholm (the new governor for Michigan, who stopped the expansion of new bottled-water plants) proposed the Water Legacy Act (to protect all state’s groundwater)...

...Ballet 2 In the video clip, the ballerina performs a variation as the spring fairy in Cinderella. This is a allegro piece with springy and quick steps. The dancer executes each movement with incredible grace and control. She really captivates her audience and draws them in emotionally. She incorporates ballet incredible technique that is strong but at the same time she makes it look effortless. Her musicality adds to the drama of the piece and shows her true talent. Her port a bras are perfect, the way that they move with each step and add to the complexity of this variation. The port a bras also add to the lines of her body and I like how her hands, in a way, are presenting her feet.. Her legs reach and point while she's in the air in such a graceful way. She also has a great sense of her center, which helps her in her turns and jumps while she moves in a circle. The piece also goes from fast movements to slow and even incorporates isolated movements, which allows time to show cases her talent. She performs one arabesque position into another with out coming off point, then does it again without taking a molecule of sharpness off of her skill level. Overall I think that the ballerina's performance in this piece was incredible. Its inspiring to watch, for someone like me who its trying gain more knowledge and skill in ballet and dance in general. She performs with such ease and grace that really just adds to the beauty of her talent and make it even more awe inspiring...

...of grace; With prudent hand imparts them to the human race. For her a mortal-man will gladly part With all he has; will give his calm repose; For her are born all science and all art, That brows of men with laurel fair enclose. As from the towering mountain's lofty heart The purest current of the streamlet flows, So education without stint or measure gives Security and peace to lands in which she lives. Where Education reigns on lofty seat Youth blossoms forth with vigor and agility; He error subjugates with solid feet, And is exalted by conceptions of nobility. She breaks the neck of vice and its deceit; Black crime turns pale at Her hostility; The barbarous nations She knows how to tame, From savages creates heroic fame. And as the spring doth sustenance bestow On all the plants, on bushes in the mead, Its placid plenty goes to overflow And endlessly with lavish love to feed The banks by which it wanders, gliding slow, Supplying beauteous nature's every need; So he who prudent Education doth procure The towering heights of honor will secure. From out his lips the water, crystal pure, Of perfect virtue shall not cease to go. With careful doctrines of his faith made sure, The powers of evil he will overthrow, Like foaming waves that never long endure, But perish on the shore at every blow; And from his good example other men shall learn Their upward steps toward the heavenly paths to turn. Within the breast of wretched humankind She lights the living flame of goodness bright;...

...David Romer's Rules for Making It Through Graduate School and Finishing Your Dissertation "Out in Five" Source: Brad De Long's Website Don't clutter up your life with other activities; just write. Don't carry out a thorough and comprehensive search of the literature; just write. Don't attempt to make sure that every page you write shows the full extent of your professional skills; just write. Don't write a well-organized, well-integrated, unified dissertation; just write. Don't think profound thoughts that shake the intellectual foundations of the discipline; just write. If you don't have a paper started by the spring of your third year, be alarmed. If you don't have a paper largely drafted by the fall of your fourth year, panic. Have three new ideas a week while you are getting started. Don't try to game the profession, work on what interests you. Good papers in economics have three characteristics: o A viewpoint. o A lever. o A result. Utpal Bhattacharya’s Views on What Constitutes a Good Paper in Financial Economics For me, a good paper in financial economics is really an essay that exposits an opinion that is substantiated with evidence. I look for five things: 1) The Research Question. Is it interesting and important? New question? Old question with no previous clear answers? Whether the research question is interesting and important is determined with respect to the literature (more objective judgment) and with respect to economic ...
