...Summary: This short article briefly explains the effects of the bushfire in Australia had on Sydney harbour’s iconic ‘opera house’. The smoke is said to have ‘overshadowed’ the harbor, turning day into night. It then goes on to saying climate change is not only worsening in Australia, but also affecting throughout the world. Personal Reaction: Firstly, I found the topic intriguing. The fact that huge, dark clouds had turned day into night, was somewhat sort of exciting. However, as I kept on reading, the reality of it kicked in. Climate change is in issue which we all are facing, and this is just one of the many effects of climate change. I am worried about what will happen next, if something is not done immediately.

...Rip Van Winkle Summary: “Rip Van Winkle” is an American masterpiece of the short story. It is based on local history but is rooted in European myth and legend. Irving reportedly wrote it one night in England, in June, 1818, after having spent the whole day talking with relatives about the happy times spent in Sleepy Hollow. The author drew on his memories and experiences of the Hudson River Valley and blended them with Old World contributions. “Rip Van Winkle” is such a well-known tale that almost every child in the United States has read it or heard it narrated at one time or another. Rip is a simple-minded soul who lives in a village by the Catskill Mountains. Beloved by the village, Rip is an easygoing, henpecked husband whose one cross to bear is a shrewish wife who nags him day and night. One day he wanders into the mountains to go hunting, meets and drinks with English explorer Henry Hudson’s legendary crew, and falls into a deep sleep. He awakens twenty years later and returns to his village to discover that everything has changed. The disturbing news of the dislocation is offset by the discovery that his wife is dead. In time, Rip’s daughter, son, and several villagers identify him, and he is accepted by the others. One of Irving’s major points is the tumultuous change occurring over the twenty years that the story encompasses. Rip’s little Dutch village had remained the same for generations and symbolized rural peace and prosperity. On his return, everything has...

Review the case study information provided and determine all legislative and regulatory documents that describe compliance requirements for this company. After reading the case study for the Tiny Opera Company I have determined through my own research that the following legislative and regulatory requirements will need to be adhered to so that they are compliant. To start off the Tiny Opera Company will need to have their own Code of Conduct available to all employees and anyone attending the venue. This code of conduct will outline through Key principles what the company’s expected behaviours are and how everyone should conduct themselves while employed at the venue in all areas of employment. Having a code of conduct in place will make sure that everyone who is attending the venue whether employed or as a patron/customer conducts themselves in a way that shows respect for each other in a positive manner. Tiny Opera Company will need to also have Safe Work Procedures in place and will need to meet the obligations of the Work Health and Safety Regulations 2011 and the NSW Work Health and Safety Act 2011, this so that it has steps in place to prevent accidents & injuries when employees are undertaking tasks so that potential hazards can be eliminated and/ or controlled at the venue to protect everyone...

...Lou, Sijia Professor Manly ENG 108 Feb, 26, 2011 Summary 1: Article In the article “What Are Friends For? Power and Pain” which was written be Alessandra Stanley, we can know that the author thinks in adults’ world friendship is more constant than romances, but this rule is not right in the youths. Young people pay more attention to love than friendships, so in young’s world the friendships are more variable than the romances. This concept is also right in the “Gossip Girl”. This TV show talked about the friendship, power, romance, gossip and fashion in the campus between the boys and girls. Some parents think this TV show isn’t suitable for their children, because the contents in “Gossip Girl” let their children grow faster to know the real society. But the Children didn’t agree. Even though the “Gossip Girl” is a soap opera and it is based on a popular book series, it not only put fashion and sex as its main point, but also reversed course and found a way saucily to make a virtue of vacuity and viciousness. Summary 2: TV show This TV show is from Gossip Girl season 4 Episode 2. Serena(S) and Blair (B) still stay at Paris and B get another chance from Prince Louis. But while B was getting ready for her perfect date, S was at Paris Morgue to make sure the people laid may or may not be Chuck Bass. Of course it wasn’t him.

...households many individuals believe this common item is actually detrimental to our society. With its overwhelming depiction of sex, and how sex is portrayed in our society, it is enough to make one think that our world is being transformed into an entertainment reality. Although many individuals realize that television is not real, and they understand how to comprehend the difference between reality and fiction in our society the studies and facts speak louder that television is more harmful than beneficial. To understand the effects of television and sex on our society and on our growing and impressionable children we can examine what acts are actually shown on television, who watches what, how children and teens respond to television, how soap operas and other reality shows shape our culture’s views and...

...Berlin, which would be in the Soviet occupational zone, would be divided among the four powers as well. By the time of the blockade, there was a major contrast between the East and West Berlin. West Berlin was a thriving democratic, capitalist city, while East Berlin was in drab poverty. Trying to escape the forced collectivization of goods and agriculture, numerous shortages, and a police state, many fled to West Berlin. To maintain the stability of the communist regime, the East German leaders felt that these floods of people had to be stopped. TABLE OF CONTENTS Page 1.

...he also started writing Les Misérables in private. After 17 years, Les Misérables was finally published in 1862. During his latest years, Hugo’s works focused on darker themes like God, Satan and death. Victor Hugo died in Paris on May 22, 1885 and received a hero’s funeral. Les Misérables Les Misérables is an epic novel, historical fiction authored by Victor Hugo and published in 1862. The novel takes place in 1815 until 1832 during the June Rebellion in Paris. Les Misérables talks about the lives of different characters, and in particular, the ex-convict Jean Valjean and his path to redemption. Victor Hugo described the novel as “…a progress from evil to good, from injustice to justice, from falsehood to truth, from night to day, from appetite to conscience, from corruption to life; from bestiality to duty, from hell to heaven, from nothingness to God. The starting point: matter, destination: the soul. The hydra at the...

...Friends and the Realities of an Adult Social Life On television, the young adult, just beginning to make their own life is portrayed to have a family based on friends; while their contact with their biological family has diminished, their emotional closeness with their friends as a source for comfort and security has sky rocketed. However, in the Warner Brother’s hit sitcom, “Friends,” the life of Ross Geller takes the idea too far—those familiar with the show will remember the endless scenes of all six friends lounging around, often either talking in the coffee house, or in Monica’s apartment. However, the viewer will also struggle to remember where each character does for a living, and remembering any scenes that depict them at their jobs because, with the possible exception of Rachel during her waitressing years, the characters are rarely shown to work. Ross is the most unrealistically portrayed of them all: as a palaeontologist who also is a professor at New York University, and being a father sharing custody with an ex-wife it is difficult to understand how he has the time to socialize as much as the show depicts him too. “Friends” provides an unrealistic portrayal of how active Ross Geller’s social life is in comparison to his work and family commitments during the late 20th and early 21st century. Friends shows that most adults will frequently be able to engage in sexual intercourse regularly and with many different partners in the span of a few years. While Ross is...

The town has taken enthusiastically to the idea of a revival of the midsummer celebration of its heritage, talents and interests. There was a latent hunger for a fuller cultural and community life - a hunger which helped secure the success of the Barnaby Festival. This evaluation demonstrates how the benefits to the town extend from the immediate economic impact to a more substantial social and cultural legacy. There is a widely held feeling that the Festival has been the catalyst for a growth in confidence and sense of identity, and has heralded a richer civic life in Macclesfield. Barnaby 2012 has again been a huge task for the team of volunteers and would have been impossible without the unstinting...
