...simple bridge truss was the first structure I ever analyzed. The simple combination of beams that could hold cars, trains, and trucks over long spans of water fascinated me. Having the tools to analyze the loads on the truss further increased my interest in structures. I encountered the bridge in a textbook for my first engineering class. Knowing that the professor, Mr. John Doe, was a tough teacher, I asked him for the textbook so I could study and get ready for the class over the summer. Just arrived from Belize, I was determined to succeed. In class we learned about forces on simple members and then we put the members together to form a simple truss. At this point I had almost decided that structural engineering was the career for me. From there the class just took off: We went on to frames, distributed loads, considered friction; basically we were incorporating real world considerations into structural members. I loved the practical, problem solving aspects of the field. At UC my classes were even more advanced. In my analysis and design classes, I especially enjoyed studying steel design because we not only learned the use of the load resistance factor design but also applied that knowledge — I designed a four-story building. The professor was a practicing engineer, and he always related the subject to real life steel structures he had engineered, for example, the SB Medical Center, an all steel building with a base isolated campus. This is the kind of project on...

...Post Internship Thank You Letter Dear Barbara, It has been a pleasure working for you and being a part of the “pit crew” team this summer. Since the very beginning of the internship I felt very welcomed by you and the whole team. The amount of knowledge and skills I have acquired this summer are innumerable. It is hard to believe that these 10 weeks have flown by so fast. I am very appreciative for our weekly one on one meeting. I enjoyed being able to hear feedback from you about my performance which has made me more aware as a person. I have learned the importance of presentation and proper documentation from you. I also must say your sense of professionalism has rubbed off on me. You are a great leader and you have fostered an environment where team members can communicate with you whenever they have questions or issues. I’m sure I could on and on about this experience but I will end it here. I simply want to say thank you for this opportunity. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your team. Thank you for allowing me to contribute to the team’s success. Thank you for this opportunity to expand my knowledge. Thank you.

...I had a wonderful time working on your class project. With the many themes that we discussed in class, it was very hard for me to pick a topic that really represented the ideas I had due to many of the great topics. Two of the topics that I really enjoyed were growth and fixed mindsets as well as the theme of identity and race. Identity and race really connected closely to me due to the fact that this is a factor that, though I have no had an experience yet, struggle with. Because I am African American, I am looked upon differently in society. This is one of the reasons why for the project, I was excited about “the Story of O.J” song by Jay-Z. This song encompassed the negative stereotypes that were placed on Black people while also giving the modern...

...The following is a modified version of the AMCAS MD/PhD essay. Biomedical research has been an interest of mine for as long as I can remember. The concept of tackling and solving biological mysteries has always been greatly appealing to me and I found the fact that work done on something as microscopic as cells and proteins could be used to cure visible ailments of disease to be astounding. Throughout my primary education, I relished each opportunity to conduct experiments in class, and I eagerly anticipated the day when I could finally contribute towards understanding disease and improving human health myself. My first foray into scientific research occurred during the summer of my second year in high school, from June to August, 2012. As part of the NIH’s summer internship program, I joined Dr. Yingzi Yang’s laboratory under the National...

...Green Mountain State. Anyway, back to the matter at hand. The anonymous, generic village in which "The Lottery" is set, in addition to the vicious twist the story gives to a common American ritual, enhance the contemporary reader's uneasy sense that the group violence in the story could be taking place anywhere and everywhere, right now. Jackson's skillful warping of a popular pastime has become an American classic, establishing her position as one of the great American horror writers. Why Should I Care? So, if you've ever been hanging out with a group of friends and done something truly stupid, you may have heard the refrain, "If your friends jumped off a bridge, would you jump, too?" Your answer is probably "no," but Shirley Jackson disagrees. She thinks you – and anyone and everyone – would race off that bridge if your community decided it was necessary. According to her, while individuals may be great, a group of people is another animal. An animal that eats its own. "The Lottery" is a story of a small town basically devouring a member of its own community. It's one of the most horrifying texts you'll encounter, in high school or out of it. It's...

...especially amongst young voters astonishing. To gain a clear understanding of this I read Colin Hay’s “Why We Hate Politics” His in depth analysis on how political disenchantment and depolarization has become such a problem due to inter party competition and the lack of clear policy difference leads to the intriguing question how democratic is the UK really? Social equality and how it has led to the social demographic of British society is an area of politics that fascinates me. I was inspired by Owen Jones book “Chavs” where he looks at ongoing class warfare. I was particularly interested in the chapter were he compares the public and media reaction to the disappearance of Shannon Mathews a young girl who grew up in the predominantly working class community of Dewsbury to the famous disappearance of Madeleine McCann. This led me to begin an Extended Project Qualification titled “Why don’t the Jobless get a Job” in which I am undertaking extensive research including...

...UPON WESTMINSTER BRIDGE by William Wordsworth Earth has not anything to show more fair: Dull would he be of soul who could pass by A sight so touching in its majesty: This City now doth like a garment wear The beauty of the morning; silent , bare, 5 Ships, towers, domes, theatres, and temples lie Open unto the fields, and to the sky, All bright and glittering in the smokeless air. Never did the sun more beautifully steep In his first splendour, valley, rock, or hill; 10 Ne’er saw I, never felt a calm so deep! The river glideth at his own sweet will: Dear God! the very houses seem asleep; And all that mighty heart is lying still! Earth has not anything to show more fair: * While crossing over the Westminster Bridge, the speaker makes a bold statement: he has found the most beautiful scene on the planet. * Of course, though, he's exaggerating. He really means something like, "At this particular moment, I can't imagine anywhere being more beautiful than the place I'm standing." It's almost more a reflection of his mood than of the outside world. Dull would he be of soul who could pass by A sight so touching in its majesty: * He says that anyone who didn't stop, who just passed by with a glance, would be "dull...of soul." * The person who could just pass by has been jaded and worn down by experience to the point of dullness. He's also boring, which is another meaning of the word "dull." * The sight from the bridge is "touching in its...

...After analysing the area I have understood that people still gather around the area but the building remains untouched. My aim is to create a design that gives a new lease of life to these unrecognized beauties within the city. Site Analysis Site analysis shows that people have used the surrounding area to picnic, jog, walk pets and more. A lot of the people that go there seem to contemplate. I want to bring these activities inwards and create a thinking hub which will enable people to come collaborate, brainstorm and work. The location is a strategic place as it between to iconic bridges the Maqta Bridge and the sheikh Zayed Bridge. The building is long and has one floor. Only ¼ of the building is enclosed and has actual walls the rest is exposed. Based on my assumption the long deck that is exposed used to be an enclosed area since the flooring is marble that is not suitable for outdoors. I have conducted a few interviews with people that know the past function of the place who described the building being fully enclosed. The site analysis will be divided by location, past function and present function. Location The location of the site is surrounded by iconic buildings and structure such as the maqta fort, bridge and the sheikh Zayeds Bridge. The location for a social hub within the place is also strategic due to its residential and commercial surroundings. Even though the location is close to busy road which sheikh Rashid bin saeed road the place is tucked in a cozy environment...

...Microsoft Corporation Craig Kraemer ITT Technical Institute of Canton, MI Abstract The purpose of this paper is to advise Microsoft Corporation on how it can ensure its future success as a company in its current market. Through market analysis and examining business data. This paper will explain how the core microeconomic principles impact the sustainability of Microsoft Corporation and what actions it can take to ensure future success. Keywords: Microsoft Corporation, market analysis, microeconomics Microsoft Corporation Overview Microsoft Corporation is a leading developer of personal computer software systems and applications. Mainly known for the Windows operating system. The company also publishes books and multimedia titles, offers e-mail services, and sells electronic game systems, computer peripherals (input/output devices), and portable media players. History In 1975, Bill Gates and Paul Allen form a partnership called Microsoft, deriving the name from the words microcomputer and software. Then in 1980 Microsoft focuses on a new operating system—the software that manages, or runs, the computer hardware and also serves to bridge the gap between the computer hardware and programs, such as a word processor. It’s the foundation on which computer programs can run. They name their new operating system "MS‑DOS." On November 20, 1985, two years after the initial announcement, Microsoft ships Windows 1.0. Now, rather than typing MS‑DOS commands, you just...

...Each year in Oregon State thousands of juvenile offenders commit crimes against innocent victims. As a result, the states' juvenile courts are eternally bogged down by more cases than they can handle, detention centers don't have enough beds to house all of the new offenders, and an alarming number of offenders serve their time and then return to detention several more times before finally cleaning up their acts or graduating to the adult justice system and presumably, prison (Kulongoski). By far the worst flaw in the current system comes from the lack of consensus on the part of policy makers and voting public over what should be done about the problem. By focusing almost exclusively on punitive measures they are missing a valuable opportunity to rehabilitate young people and to guide them toward becoming responsible and contributing members of society. Instead of institutionalizing suggestible minds, guaranteeing that every third person that is locked up will be back at least two or three more times as a juvenile (Parker, 2006), Oregon lawmakers should support the development and utilization of wilderness therapy programs which are quickly proving to be able to drastically reduce the recidivism rates among their graduates. It is important to acknowledge up front that in some cases detention facilities do serve an important social function. It is not the purpose of this paper to argue for the dismantling of these facilities altogether. Getting violent criminals - those convicted...
