...California is very diverse, it has all kinds of landscapes, climates, and people. In some places, it snows and is mountainous, in other places it’s a desert, and is flat, there’s even the in-between, with mild winters, hot summers, and rolling hills. The diversity of California makes it exciting, there’s always so many interesting places to visit without having to go too far from home. The mild winters in Danville are great, it never gets too cold, and the rain keeps everything lush and green. Also, because of the diverse climate, if you ever want to go to the snow during the winter, it’s only 3 hours away. In the summer, it never takes more than a few hours to get to a beach. It’s the perfect way to cool off in California’s hot summers. You...

...There are shortages of nurses in various locations around the U.S. as well as other countries, which means that travel nurses are in high demand. Along with demanding top pay, travel nurses can spend time in locations that they've always wanted to visit. While a nurse might work long, demanding hours, she should be able to spend time at the beach, visiting local museums or hitting up popular tourist destinations while living locally. These are 10 of the most desirable travel destinations for traveling nurses. http://www.cnn.com/2017/04/10/world/scotland-island-nurse-trnd/ New York City, New York For a travel nurse who wants to pad her bank account, New York City nurses can expect to make a decent paycheck. Unfortunately, that bank account might take a hit when it comes to living expenses. It's still a great place that every travel nurse should visit one time in his life....

...the saying “there’s no place like home’’ the first thing that comes to mind is the 1939 movie “The Wizard of Oz’’. Well in “There’s No Place Like Home’’ written by Joel Kotkin he talks about a new popular trend known as “localism’’. Joel Kotkin’s assertion of localism is that people are beginning to like to stay at home rather than moving from one place to another. He describes it as being rooted more in your community. He even goes on to say that the longer that people live in their homes or communities that they begin to identify more with those places, which helps local businesses and other institutions thrive. I agree with some of Joel Kotkin ideas of localism for instance I am very much rooted within the city I live in but I am very nomadic. In my twenty-one years of life I have never moved outside of the city limits. Joel Kotkin stated in his essay that people are wanting to stay at home more to stay close to their relatives, friends, local clubs, religious places of worship and just familiar surroundings. One of the main factors that keeps me rooted in Kansas City is my mother. My mother is at an age to where she is comfortable with the city she’s in so instead of her leaving the place she knows and calls home she would rather stay here in Kansas City and just move every so often. As an only boy I feel like it is my duty to always be near my mother and as close to her as possible she is the driving force for the reason I am so rooted or as I like to say stuck...

...introducing the stories from the section East, West. These stories are not a success; they were lacking the much needed balance the characters were in search of to feel complete. Their endings left a trail of sadness. One would think with the joining of East, West, peace and belonging would finally come, but it is as if there's no conclusion or solution to this problem. Some of the short stories in East,West section finished without the audience knowing the destiny of the characters. The Courter truly expresses Rushdie's feelings about being foreign and the realistic aspects of culture clashes are also included in this story. The characters' names, Certainly-Mary and Mixed-up only appeared as nicknames given by the children in this story, but they were actually symbolic meanings behind the East, West themes. Certainly-Mary was always certain about what she wanted. I believed that she was another version of the narrator because she too, was conflicted between two places where she called home. She shares a love for her home country and a love for England. She can not achieve a balance between these two. Her being in England while wanting to return to her home country affected her health. It became clear...

...in the city. The dream house is now a beautiful home in the suburbs where a mom can live with her children and the family pet. A house that is very organized, spotless, and can be a place where moms can relax. The most important aspect is the floor, where everyone in the house walks on. Floors get steam mopped, re-painted and waxed in order for it to stay spotless, shiny and perfect. In this advertisement from Better Homes and Gardens magazine, the company Pergo convinces moms that with any mayhem running around the house, moms don’t have to worry about them getting destroyed or stained on. Moms with Pergo flooring in their homes can have one less thing to worry about. Right in the middle of the advertisement there’s a cute little girl painting the nails of a Great Dane dog. Next to the girl a bottle of nail polish has been knockd over. She looks happy; She’s not even worried about the nail polish. The dog is looking straight at the audience, he looks tired. Above the dog and the girl you see a bold sentence saying “After a long day of running, he treats himself to a mani-pedi.” It states why the dog looks tired and tells the audience that he has run around all day so, like other days, it’s time to get his nails done. In the background the viewer sees a mom re-arranging flowers, indicating that she likes to keep the house spotless. Then in the bottom there’s a story that says that Pergo, the dog, is very stylish and he likes using the house as a personal track. The floor can...

...have very well developed markets—for example the United States—what we find happening is not that everyone, for instance, buys or listens to the same kind of music. As markets have allowed suppliers to deliver products to consumers, we’ve seen a blossoming of different genres of music. In the 20th century the United States evolved rock and roll, rhythm and blues, Motown, Cajun music, many different kinds of jazz—ragtime, swing, stomp—heavy metal, rap. The list goes on. When I look at the empirical evidence from societies with well-developed market economies, I find that what people want to buy is not fixed or biologically constructed. When the cost of supplying products goes down, people tend to use culture to differentiate themselves from other people, to pursue niche interests, to pursue hobbies. It’s the poorer or more primitive societies in which people specialize in one type of consumption. If you go to pygmy society in the Congo, for Critics of globalization contend that, even if increased trade promotes material prosperity, it comes with a high spiritual and cultural cost, running roughshod over the world’s distinctive cultures and threatening to turn the globe into one big, tawdry strip mall.

Meaning drug deals, selling illegal things, selling people, and pretty much anything and like that. Not only should the internet not be monitored but the government shouldn't expel net neutrality. The vote on it was yesterday, December 14th, 2017. If net neutrality is gone, the government and every other company that owns an internet browser can control everything. From the speed of videos to the content you see. It's like a giant parental control. Keeping net neutrality will allow for all people to access the internet and it's great information. If it's gone, think of all the payments you'll have to pay....

...searching in vain for a certain gift? How about driving around aimlessly attempting to find a parking spot only to walk 2 miles to the store? Then there’s always the problem that when you finally get a parking spot, shove your way to the store, and push through people only to find out that the store is sold out of what you wanted. It’s enough to pull your hair out. That’s why online shopping has become the business idea of the century. In fact, in a December 2011 study Equation Research found that 87% of tablet users made at least one online transaction with their tablet device during the early holiday shopping season. Think about it: you can shop at home, at your leisure, in your pajamas in you want. There’s no driving, there’s no pushing, you don’t even have to step a single toe outside. You can get all your shopping done in a single hour with no stress. Online shopping is extremely convenient. That is what people like best about it. But customers are attracted to online shopping not only because of its convenience, but also because of the broader selection, competitive pricing, and greater access to information. You can shop twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. Other establishments require travel and must take place during their business hours. With online shopping, there’s no waiting for the store to open. There’s no waiting for an employee to check you out or assist you. You buy what you want, when you want. And most of the time, you can get better deals with...

...GONE HOME IS THE STORY EXPLORATION GAME YOU’VE BEEN WAITING FOR by Becky Chambers | 2:45 pm, August 16th, 2013 2 Share on Tumblr It’s just a house. That’s all the game is, a house full of receipts and cups and boxes of tissues. Mundane and ordinary. You can walk around the house. You can pick things up, turn them over. You can paw around drawers and cupboards. You are alone. You are unguided. You can take all the time you need. There’s a lot to uncover in Gone Home, the inaugural title by indie studio The Fullbright Company. Love, loneliness, secrets, desperation, sexual identity, growing up, acting out — it’s all there, hidden under beds and shoved into closets. I saw my childhood in there, and my adulthood, too, and the messy, complicated things I feel toward my family. It left me feeling raw, and clean, and quiet. It’s just a house. It made me cry. The year is 1995, and twenty year old Katie has just returned home from a year abroad. Not that the house is a home she knows. Her parents moved while she was away, and the house is as unfamiliar to Katie as it is to the player — after all, you are one and the same. No one is there to greet you. The door is locked. The house is empty. The only acknowledgment you are given is a note written by your younger sister, Sam. She apologizes for not being there. She asks that you not go digging around for answers. She says she’ll see you again one day. And that’s it. There’s no quest log, no directions, no arrow...
