...Jose Cando ENGL-2327 April 26, 2014 Balcones Fiction and Poetry Winners Reading Event: Natalie Diaz’s Reading of When My Brother Was an Aztec Outside the ACC Theater on April 9th, the public was greeted by tables of refreshment including fruits cheeses and crackers which was a nice surprise. Although, I had expected a packed theater, only about forty people were waiting inside. The event started at 6:30 pm when Charlotte Gullick, the chair of the creative a writing department took the stage. After promoting some of creative writing classes at ACC, she described the significance of the Balcones prizes. A teacher from the English department took the stage next to talk a little more about the Balcones prize. He pointed out that Natalie Diaz was the sixteenth winner of this prize. He described Ms. Diaz as a woman with her foot “in three different worlds.” Her childhood was spent on the Mojave reservation in the California Desert. She attended college in Virginia on a basketball scholarship, and from there she played professional basketball in Europe and Asia. After injuring her knee, she left basketball to study poetry in graduate school. Therefore, he claimed, she has a foot in the worlds of the reservation, basketball and poetry. With that, he welcomed Nathalie to the stage. Nathalie jumped into reading her poem, “When My Brother Was an Aztec.” I was shocked to hear the bitterness and resentment in her voice as she describe her brother as a nasty and careless force which...

...Silent Dancing – Judith Ortiz Cofer When Cofer says that they were one of the firsts to have a TV in El Building she now realizes that it was because of her father’s decently paying job that they had some finer things than their neighbors did. When her father explains that they should keep to themselves I was confused and then realized that it was so they would not become attached because he had plans for a better place. We all do this at some point. This is my senior year at Central and even though I allowed myself to get close to my roommates I have already started to distance myself by being progressively less present in our pod and in our room. It is easier to say goodbye to something that you do not feel attached to. I feel that by the time I have to say goodbye to my roommates distancing myself will make it less of a ‘change.’ If I start the process now it will hopefully not feel like such a big change. Cofer’s reference to the silent homemade film draws me in when she describes her own experience. “It is both comical and sad to watch silent dancing.” (77) I do this as well; all I could think about is watching some of my own home videos and seeing the facial expressions and the body language of everyone. It is comical. In one of my own videos all four of my siblings and I are going off to school. We were all smiling and in good spirits. When we came back everyone was in a pissed off mood and shoving each other. It is very comical to watch it especially to see the changes...

...Aerodynamics and Aircraft Performance Characteristics of High-speed Flight Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University From the beginning of the age of manned flight, aviators and engineers have continuously sought to increase the performance envelope. Many parameters for defining aircraft performance exist, but here I’d like to focus on going fast. Since I was a child I’ve been fascinated with military aircraft and the pursuit of speed. From the Bell X-1 to the famed SR-71 Blackbird and beyond, high-speed flight has been a chase toward an ever increasing limit. Several factors contribute to the aerodynamics of supersonic flight and many limitations apply as the envelope is pushed. I will focus the perspective of this paper on design characteristics, engine technology, and atmospheric considerations and take a peek into the future of hypersonic flight. In order to discuss the design characteristics of high-speed aircraft, a definition for the speed regimes must be given. Supersonic flight is typically defined as greater than Mach 1 but less than Mach 3. “High” Supersonic flight is a narrow band of operation from Mach 3 to 5 and hypersonic flight is in excess of Mach 5 (Benson, 2013). Shape technology and wing design are the primary areas of concern in setting out to build an aircraft capable of supersonic speeds. If airflow velocities reach sonic speeds at some location on an aircraft further acceleration results in the onset of...

...2013 EVEREADY: A Part of Every Moment A mother and her son are cuddled up next to each other under a blanket, laughing and having a good time while reading a book about space: the room is dark, and only a flashlight is being used as a source of light. The flashlight is powered by the one and only EVEREADY brand of batteries: the brand for “every family, everywhere, every day.” With women who have children being the target audience of this advertisement, the advertiser plays on the women’s emotions through the good time the women and boy seem to be having, which is made possible by the use of the EVEREADY batteries in the flashlight. Also, the setup of the advertisement as a whole plays a role- what women, who has a child, does not want to cuddle up next to their son or daughter, and use a flashlight to read? The advertiser plays on a mothers need to nurture her child, which also ties in with her need to guide her child. In the advertisement, by cuddling up next to her son before bed with a flashlight, the mother is nurturing her son by spending quality time with him and making memories. She is guiding her son by participating in activities that are beneficial to him at his age, like reading. Mothers everywhere will be able to relate to this because every mother wants to guide and nurture her child. A mother might also be able to relate to the advertisement by how it brings about the feeling of a need to escape. Maybe she has had a bad day, and cuddling up next to her son...

...Antonio Raimundo Montana (“Tony”) was once the office manager of Captain Kirk, P.A. (“Firm”). A few of Tony’s duties involved client billing and managing the Firm’s accounts, both the operating and trust accounts. Tony had been at the Firm for over 20 years and was a trusted employee, so much so that the managing partner, Spock, rarely supervised Tony’s actions. When Tony first started at the Firm he would provide Spock a monthly report that detailed the activity of the trust account. Spock required this report as means to comply with the Florida Bar Rule 5-1.1, which mentions that a lawyer must maintain and supervise the trust account. However, as the Firm rapidly expanded and the workload increased, Tony asked Spock to eliminate such “busy” work like that of the monthly report of the trust account. Spock agreed to cease the monthly reports since he had developed a strong sense of trust and loyalty to Tony over the years. Also, Tony had never done anything in the past to make Spock suspicious of Tony’s actions. Spock had to go out of state for a month’s time for a trial. Before leaving, he asked that Tony be on the lookout for a $1 million dollar wire transfer that was expected to be coming in the next couple of days and is to be held within the Firm’s trust account. Tony obliged and said that everything would be taken care of and that the accounting records would be updated once received. While Spock was out of town, he emailed Tony on several occasions inquiring...

...A hairy ingrown toenail with growing fungus, this sounds absolutely disgusting right? I doubt anyone wants to watch or see anything to do with an ingrown toenail with fungus because it is gross, disgusting and scary to look at. So why do people enjoy horror movies so much? It is the same kind of concept, something scares and disgusts us, but when it comes to horror films, shows, and etc. we find it to be pleasurable at the same time. Noël Carroll believes that the thing that attracts us to unpleasant feelings, like being scared and disgusted, is due to the monster. The monster is why there is a paradox of horror. Humans are extremely curious beings of life. Doctor Who season 4 episode 11, “Midnight”, demonstrates Carroll’s philosophy behind why people enjoy horror. “Midnight” starts off with the Doctor trying to convince his partner in crime to join him on a visit to a waterfall made of sapphires, which is located on the planet called Midnight, but she refuses, and the Doctor gets on the Crusader Tour Bus with seven strangers. On his way to Midnight Palace, the bus stops due to “engine” problems; however the Doctor quickly figures out that the Crusader Tour Bus is in perfect condition. The mechanic seems to see an odd shadow that appears to be running toward them, but the driver says its nothing and that help is on the way, reassuring the passengers and the bus attendant that everything will be fine. Suddenly, a random but constant knocking begins. The plot has finally come...

...Robert Downey Jr. Robert John Downey, Jr. born April 4, 1965, Downey was born in Manhattan, New York, the younger of two children. His father, Robert Downey, Sr., is an actor, writer, producer, cinematographer, and director of underground films, and his mother, Elsie, is also an actress and appeared in Downey Sr.'s films. His father is of half Russian Jewish and half Irish ancestry, and his mother is of German and Scottish descent. As a child, Downey was "surrounded by drugs". His father, a drug addict, allowed Downey to use marijuana at age six, an incident which his father has said that he now regrets. Downey stated that drug use became an emotional bond between him and his father: "When my dad and I would do drugs together, it was like him trying to express his love for me in the only way he knew how." Eventually, Downey began spending every night abusing alcohol and "making a thousand phone calls in pursuit of drugs.” During his childhood Downey had minor roles in his father's projects. He made his acting debut at the age of five playing a sick puppy in the absurdist comedy Pound in the 1970 and then at age seven he appeared in the surrealist Greaser's Palace (1972). When Downey was 10 years old, he was living in England and studied classical ballet as part of a larger curriculum. He grew up in Greenwich Village and attended the Stage door Manor Performing Arts Training Center in upstate New York as a teenager. When his parents divorced in 1978, Downey moved to California...

...of who is better suited to run the business. Because in family business you can’t have favoritism against fairness. * SIBLING RIVALRY due to selfish motives. * Concern for personal interest instead of business interest which is a selfish trait * There is a GAP IN COMMUNICATION. The actual cause of the gap would be from the top that is from the founder who is Barry Sr. and resulting in miscommunications amongst the children. Another reason being that the age factor amongst them is vast therefore they didn’t even have a personal communication also, so having a business communication was far from the case. * Due to gap of communication there is lack of unity amongst the family members. For example Barry Jrs. Mom went against him too. II. Summarize the facts of the case:- Barry Bingham, Sr. decided sell his family business that had stood running in the family for nearly 70years. The reason for selling being that his children had gone into a sibling rivalry in the business which was indirectly ruining the business relationship plus the personal relationship in the family. As Barry Sr.’s children returned to the business, the sibling conflicts started to rise. Constant questioning about each other’s acts was being raised. It...

The success he appercaiates today was however very nearly shortlived . In this article I wish to look at his life from early beginnings to present day . The question for him as with many of us , which has been debated by psycologist for many years , is has the life you have lived and will live (Life stages) down to nature or nurtre . That is to say is it down to the environment in which we live and learned behaviour or due to our genitic makeup . That is to say inhereted ? To answer I have chosen to look at the life of Robert Downy Jr who from a young age perhaps even birth has lived a very complex life where environmental factors have diffently played a major role in the way in which he lives / lived his life how much inheretence was involved with his physical intellectual emotional social development known as P.I.E.S is perhaps something that will be answred by the end of this article , so to be begin at the beginning .

...A Fox’s Tale (Tail) One day a fox was out on a walk, following the same trail that she had once followed when she was just a pup. While walking through the dense woods, it became more and more difficult for her to see where she was stepping. All of a sudden she heard a snap, followed by her own whimpering. Her beautiful tail had been caught in a bear trap. It was only after a tough struggle that she was freed. Although she was no longer trapped, she was still filled with sorrow. Her tail had been cut off and left in the trap. “Oh, how ugly I do indeed look!” Cried the fox, “won’t the other foxes laugh at me?” After racking her brain for quite some time, the fox constructed a plan to prevent being laughed at. Soon after that she called a meeting among her friends and said, “Friends! Have you ever wondered why, after all of the trouble it causes us, we carry these long bushy tails? Let us get rid of them and be free from their nuisance.” To the grief of the fox who was missing her tail, her friends had noticed just that, she was already missing her tail. They laughed aloud and replied, “You used to say that tails looked just fine when your own was okay- and still intact. Now that you’ve lost yours, you want us to lose ours too.” Just as this fox’s friends did, you should always evaluate people's intentions; they may wish to drag you down in order to make themselves feel...

...Frank and Lillian Gilbreth were a husband and wife team of management consultants. They influenced the development of scientific management. Frank Gilbreth pioneered the concept of “motion study and ergonomics”. Lillian Gilbreth was a pioneer in psychology to the problems of management. Frank Bunker Gilbreth was born on July 7, 1868, in Fairfield, Maine. He died in Montclair, New Jersey, on 14 June 1924. When he was three, his father died and the family moved to Boston. After completing school, he passed his entrance examinations for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. However, he decided to study mechanics in a more practical way and took a job with Whidden and Company Constructions as an apprentice bricklayer. During his term there, he observed that other bricklayers were using different methods to lay brick. These observations were the beginning to Gilberth’s work in motion study. He was granted his first patent for what he called “non-stopping scaffold”. The scaffold not only improved efficiency of bricks laid from 125 to 350 per hour, it also helped reduce the amount of stress and fatigue on the worker’s back. Gilbreth promoted quickly and was made chief superintendent of the company by the age of twenty-seven. In 1895, he set up his own company, based in Boston. By 1900, he was running a very successful business with branches throughout USA. Lillian Moller was born in Oakland, California on 24 May 1878, the daughter of a German-born sugar refiner.

...When you hear the name Ali most people only think of a great boxer, but Muhammad Ali was much more then a boxer he was an inspiration to many americans living in poverty. American soldiers fighting over seas were given strength by this amazing fighter. Muhammad Ali is an unsung heroes in american history. Muhammad Ali was born January 17,1942 (may have been conceived in May 1941) under the name Cassius Marcellus Clay jr. in Louisville, Kentucky. Ali was born to Cassius Marcellus Clay Sr. and Odessa Grady Clay. Ali changed his name after he converted to Muslim in 1975. Ali's road to greatness started when he was 12 years old. When a red and white Schwinn bicycle was stolen, a distraught Ali went to a police station to report the theft. Young Ali reported the theft to police officer Joe Martin, while Ali was telling the officer what happened he said the phrase that would start his career " when I find the person that stole my bike Im going to pummel them". Officer martin ( boxing trainer) told the young man that he needed to train before he started to challenge any one. Officer Martin took Ali under his wing and began to train him. This was the first step on the long road to being a world heavy weight champion and Olympic gold medal.Young Ali trained hard and dedicated all his time to learning as much as he could about the art of boxing. Four weeks later (1954) Ali won his first match by a split...

...Lillian Gilbreth was the mother of modern management. Together with her husband Frank, she pioneered industrial management techniques still in use today. She was one of the first "superwomen" to combine a career with her home life. She was a prolific author, the recipient of many honorary degrees, and the mother of 12. She is perhaps best remembered for motherhood. Her children wrote the popular books Cheaper by the Dozen and Belles on Their Toes about their experiences growing up with such a large and famous family. But Lillian Moller Gilbreth was not only a mother; she was an engineer and an industrial psychologist. Lillian excelled in high school and decided that she wanted to study literature and music. Her father did not believe in higher education for women. He felt they needed only enough knowledge to manage a home gracefully. But Lillian persuaded him to let her attend the University of California at Berkeley while living at home and maintaining her family duties. When she obtained her B.A. in literature in 1900, she was the first woman to speak at a University of California commencement. She went to Columbia, but illness forced a return to California after her first year. Undaunted, she went back to Berkeley and received a master's degree in literature in 1902. She celebrated by planning a vacation. She spent some time in Boston before embarking, and there she met her future husband. Frank Gilbreth, who never went to college, was interested in efficiency in the...
