...reporting in media such as newspapers, radio and television. News style encompasses not only vocabulary and sentence structure, but also the way in which stories present the information in terms of relative importance, tone, and intended audience. Newspaper style includes informative materials: brief news items, headlines, ads, additional articles. But not everything published in the paper can be included in N.S., for example, publicist essays, feature articles, scientific reviews are not N.S. News writing attempts to answer all the basic questions about any particular event - who, what, when, where and why (the Five Ws) and also often how - at the opening of the article. This form of structure is sometimes called the "inverted pyramid", to refer to the decreasing importance of information in subsequent paragraphs. News stories also contain at least one of the following important characteristics relative to the intended audience: proximity, prominence, timeliness, human interest, oddity, or consequence. Newspapers generally adhere to an expository writing style. Over time and place, journalism ethics and standards have varied in the degree of objectivity or sensationalism they incorporate. Definitions of professionalism differ among news agencies; their reputations, according to professional standards, and depending on what the reader wants, are often tied to the appearance of objectivity. In its most ideal form, news writing strives to be intelligible to the majority...

...The Harlem Renaissance was a classical period during 1919-1940 that used humor to address, societal, racism, and other cultural issues. Langston Hughes was a major figure during the Harlem Renaissance. The Harlem Renaissance helped African American authors develop better in art in writing. It helped African Americans leave a bigger legacy and inspire those around them. The Harlem Renaissance gave a clear understanding of how blacks go through racism but in a humorous way. It was seen a big cultural movement for African Americans to over step racial prejudice. One of the major authors during the Harlem Renaissance was Langston Hughes. Hughes helped in shaping the artistic view of how we see certain situations. One of his famous poems during...

...Dear residents of Lebanon County, Ever since I have been living on my own, I have come across a few things that I would like to change in this County. This problem most likely affects all of us who live here and even go beyond our close knit community. The problem has to do with our diet and how it is controlled by the government. More specifically, the government claims that they are trying to create a healthier America but really what have they done to accomplish this? They created programs such as MyPyramid and MyPlate, which are useful but without the complimenting foods, you can almost deem them useless. The point in which I am making accuses the government of making our diet into a business. The government suggests that we eat healthy and provide us with guides such as MyPlate, only for us to find that the foods that are most recommended also carry the highest price tag. This causes me to believe that the government may not have our health as their main priority. I find myself thinking this every time I make a trip to the grocery store. I am proposing that, we the residents of Lebanon County raise awareness of this to our local government authorities and from there it will become recognized nationwide. Solutions to this problem may include tax breaks for producers of healthy goods as well as tax breaks for those who are self-sufficient, people who live off the land so to speak, as well as other monetary incentives to promote a healthy diet. Currently, the main problem...

...Community Health Advocacy Project: Week Five Kimberly Holbrook NUR/544 March 2, 2014 Professor Louama Driscoll Community Health Advocacy Project: Week Five According to the National School Boards Association (2014), “nearly one in three children are overweight or obese” (National School Boards Association, 2014). Additionally, “childhood obesity has more than tripled in the last 30 years” (National School Boards Association, 2014). The problem of childhood obesity is not only nationwide, but predominantly in the south, specifically in Mississippi. The most recent data from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states “16.5%” of the Mississippi adolescent population is “overweight”, while “18.3% were obese” (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2012). Once the aggregate data collection is complete, the evaluation of the information is crucial to effectively prepare goals specific to the aggregate and the health concern. Goals are specific objectives of what a coalition wants to accomplish to assist the aggregate in improving a specific health concern. Goals should include an action (intervention), the expectation of the action (the result), the target (aggregate), and an appropriate feasible time frame for the accomplishment. Prior to developing outcome goals one must consider what interventions must occur to employ the outcome goals, identify who requires influencing and whether or not the program or intervention is cost effective.

...Elijah Sanders English 1020 Fall 2013 Biographical Research Essay Langston Hughes was born in Joplin, Missouri. He was the second child of Caroline Langston and James Hughes. After his parents' divorce his father left the country for Mexico and then Cuba to escape the racism of American society. After his divorce his mother traveled looking for work leaving Langston to be raised by his Grandmother in Lawrence, Kansas. Langston Hughes later lived with his mother again along with his new step-father in Cleveland, Ohio where he attended high school. In high school Hughes was elected to be the class poet. he felt that he was only chosen because he was African-American. "I was the victim of a stereotype. there were only two of us negro kids in the whole class and our English teacher was always stressing the importance of rhythm in poetry well, everyone knows, except us, that all negroes have rhythm, so they elected me as class poet." Hughes grew up and lived in an extremely racist time. he came from a long line of ant-slavery and also very politically active people on his mother's side. Hughes also had his own opinions on politics. like many black writers and artists of this time Hughes was drawn to the idea of communism rather than segregated America and lots of his work reflected that. his poetry was often published in the CPUSA newspaper. he was involved in many communist led organizations though was more of a sympathizer than an active participant. Hughes was accused by...

...Introduction/Overview: One of the most important takeaways that I have taken away from both the “Cultural Diversity in American Education” and the “High Poverty Youth: Improving Outcomes” is that the American education system is not equal or fair. A quality education in this country is not guaranteed and unfortunately many students and their families have to fight for what I believe is a fundamental right, an opportunity to be successful. Pushout: The Criminalization of Black Girls in Schools by Monique W. Morris focuses on the experiences of Black girls in the American education system and how systemic racism and discrimination has often criminalized their existence and fundamental right to an education.

...Executive Summary Introduction/Background of the study Objective of the study Scope of the study Methodology Project findings Recommendations 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. References Executive Summary As Prahlad and Hat point out, the economies of vastly populated countries such as China, India,and the former Soviet Union present a profusion of consumers and immense growth potential for multinational corporations. The trick is for senior management to fully understand that this market possibility exists and that tapping into it may require a radical departure from the traditional, developed-economy mindset. As Nike’s financial record indicates, market saturation and intense competition in Tier One economies has squelched Nike’s growth trajectory. While the Swoosh continues to penetrate typical Western markets, tapping into the increasing numbers of “middle and lower class” consumers in emerging markets could offer a phenomenal expansion opportunity if the firm can create the right business model. In addition, beyond the potential economic benefits from this venture, Nike’s World Shoe Project also offers a credible response to the labor issues that have buffeted the company, and leverages their efforts to minimize the environmental impact of their production activities. • Introduction/Background of the study The words “Just make me the shoe!” echoed down the boardroom table to Tom Hartage a 17 – year veteran of the running shoe company, Nike Inc...

...Summary of the Issue This article describes how human energy affects the work performance of an employee and how individuals sustain their energy during work. Common strategies used and related to increasing vitality and reducing fatigue were also discussed in the article. With low ability to sustain their energy over a long period of time, it might leads to consistent low-level of performance from the employee, which is not the interest of any organizations. This article brought up what organization can do to aid their employees to achieve full capacity in term of replenishing energy and removing hindering factors. In addition, it states that it is more common for individuals to use work-related strategies as compared to micro-breaks to be efficient in managing their energy. Hence, we will discuss in the report the reliability of the studies conducted. Theoretical Perspectives The effort-recovery model (Drenth, Thierry & De Wolff, 2001) states that human energy can be restored if an individual has attained the correct factors that help in recovery which includes disengaging from the activities that are straining. This brings about the perspectives that the employees might be facing difficulties in attaining full recovery from fatigue during work as they face working long hours and bringing work related stuff in their leisure time. Based on the five level of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs (Maslow, 1970), the most fundamental level of the pyramid consists of the basic physical...

...Diversity in Society Worksheet Part I Complete the following using the MySocLab Social Explorer Map: Income Inequality by Race (located on the student website) as a reference: • Select 1 racial group from the list below: o African American o Asian American o Arab American o Hispanic American/Latino o White/Caucasian • Write a 150- to 300-word summary of the economic, social, and political standings of that group. Use additional resources if necessary, from the University Library or your textbooks. Provide citations for all the sources you use. The white racial group has always been viewed as one of political power, financial weath, high social standing. This is very true for so many white families in the United States. Many white families come from Old Money and have made careers in politics.We have a social class where the wealthy and the most social is at the top of the pyramid. Compared to other races, such as Black and Hispanic, our average yearly income is much higher. White/Caucasians are usually at the top of the economic scale. According to the Income Inequilaity Map, " White Median Income” it is indicating $25,000 to $30,000. The Hispanic income shows less than $15,000. African American population is displaying $20,000 to $25,000." Though this does not reflect all cities in America it has been proven that Whites do earn higher wages than minorities. It is also more likely a White candidate will be voted for over a minority candidate...

Nutrient Recommendations Nutrient recommendations are benchmarks by which healthcare practitioners, including dietitians, can evaluate an individual’s nutrient intake with their nutrient needs. Some nutrient recommendations also apply to populations of people rather than individuals. The Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI) is a SET of lists used to establish nutrient recommendations. The DRI includes the following tables: 1) Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA). These are nutrient recommendations for individuals that group nutrient needs by age and sex. They are based on scientific research and concrete evidence. 2) Adequate Intakes (AI). These are also nutrient recommendations for individuals. The recommendations are grouped by age and sex just like the RDAs. However...
