...A. Summary. Robert Booth, Owen Gibson and Pete Pattisson have posted an article in The Guardian on Thursday September 26th 2013 about the conditions for migrant workers in Qatar. Qatar has imported a high amount of foreign workers to complete stadiums, hotels and infrastructure before the 2022 World Cup, which is being held in Qatar. A high number of these workers come from Nepal and India. The working conditions are criticized by both an investigation led by The Guardian and the Nepali embassy. According to The Guardian, the workers are working under so horrendous conditions that they lead to sickness and high number of deaths. Qatari unions have warned that, there could be more than 4000 deaths before 2022. The general secretary of The International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) Sharan Burrow, states that the Qatari government are not reacting on this issue, and therefore it is unsolved. Even though only few of the deaths have conducted autopsies, he claims that there is no doubt that the workers are dying because of the conditions they work under. He claims that there should be implemented the highest standards for the 2022 World Cup – also in concern of the workers. The Nepalese ambassador agrees with this, but has returned to Nepal. B. Discussion In all times it has been a discussion on whether some countries were to be allowed to host countries for the biggest sport events. The Olympic games, European Championship and World Cup are all sport events that...

They must have access to water 24 hours a day which sometimes can be difficult when you have small children. They take obedience, they take 10-15 years of your life of taking them out to use the restroom, expenses for food, grooming &vet visits. You must play with them, exercise them and accept their companionship. Dogs are not tiny humans who grow up to be self-sufficient, they will always rely on you and want you to take care of them and have their best interest at heart. They are not furniture that you can buy and when you decide that you just don’t have the time or space for such a demanding animal that you could just take them back.

...Theory Critique: Cloud and Townsend Sue Miller Liberty University Concise Summary of Theory Henry Cloud and John Townsed’s book, Boundaries in marriage (1999), builds off of other works that the authors have penned together on the topic of creating Godly boundaries in relationships. The authors premise their work on the belief that clearly delineated boundaries are essential both for the health of the individual establishing the boundaries and the health of the relationship that the boundary has been established in. Boundaries are described as a “personal property line” that “promote love by protecting individuals” (Cloud & Townsend, 1999, p.10). Some people struggle with establishing boundaries particularly people with poor developmental histories and people who have grown up in households where loose boundaries esxisted. Often times establishing boundaries is difficult for Christians who have a sense of sacrificing their own personal needs and desires for the needs and desires of others. Cloud and Townsend maintain that boundaries are Godly and that they are a critical component necessary for an indivual to establish their identity and self-worth. People with no boundaries are vulnerable to being taken advantage of and that is not God’s desire. Cloud and Townsend demonstrate that boundaries can be utilized to assist with spiritual growth, personal growth and are critical components involved in healing relationships. Boundaries can be physical boundaries...

...example, develop a proper job description, select the interweaving team properly, prepare fully for the interview, searching in the internet, enhance your brand etc. Unfortunately, as many hiring managers have realized, there simply is not enough time to adequately sort through the plethora of candidates who are available. Let me go deeper in job descriptions. Job description is not just a piece of paper that sits in an employee’s file. It is living document that will help you hire, manage, encourage, review, and, if necessary, discipline or terminate employees. In some companies, job descriptions are dry, outdated documents whose main purpose seems to be taking up space in a filing cabinet. The job description is the basis of your search for new hire. By clearly defining the job up front in writing, and using document to make sure candidates know what the job entails, you will have already established and communicate the requirements for success. You can use the job description as an interview tool to help you find best person for the position. A well-written and frequently updated job description will useful throughout an employee’s tenure with your company, and throughout the “life” of that job.

...Introduction to Antarctica: Most people know that Antarctica is the coldest place on Earth, but did you know it is the worlds largest desert? or that a giant lake is locked beneath the ice? or that huge volcanoes can be found here? Antarctica is the fifth largest of the Earth's seven continents. It is the coldest continent located at the southern end of Earth. Antarctica is surrounded by the Southern Ocean. It's remote location and harsh climate of freezing weather and extreme winds makes it impossible for a permanent human population. The continent was circumnavigated by Captain James Cook in the 18th century, but he never saw it. In the early 20th century explorers were obsessed with reaching the South Pole and eventually it was Roald Amundsen who was the first to reach this point in 1911. History of Antarctica: Around 200 million years ago Antarctica was part of the super continent Gondwana. Joined with Australia, Africa, South America, India and New Zealand. Over time Gondwana began to break into pieces and slowly moved to their present positions. The word Antarctic comes from the Greek word 'Antarktos' meaning south of the bear or opposite north. Antarctica is the fifth largest of the Earth's seven continents. It has an area of nearly 14 million square kilometres. Antarctica was the last continent to be discovered. It was first sighted early in the 19th century, Scientific expeditions and seal hunters explored pieces of the Antarctic coast but had not made...

Berne is visiting Manhattan’s financial district for the first time to give respect to the tragedy that took place there at the World Trade Center. 2. There were people from all over the world and of all ages there to visit the site. 3. Although it may seem like you are looking at nothing, you are really looking at the absence of what used to be. 4. To a tourist, the site simply looks like a construction site. 5. Looking at the site even gives off the vibe that construction gives, of hope and curiosity. 6. Then your eyes adjust to the most striking part about the scene: the light. 7. Berne compares ground zero to a bowl of light, empty yet vast. What is missing becomes clearer as a watery glow from the light reflecting off the Hudson River covers everything. 8. Suddenly, she starts to see the tragedy, including the firefighters and the boarded windows. 9. Suddenly, the cemetery is visible, along with all of the personal belongings and headstones. 10. It takes time to see the tragedy and make sense of it all. 11. An old man near her is trying to explain to her son how he saw the site before the towers were even built. 12. It is clear many people are dissatisfied with being able to express only vague expressions. 13. Most of the people were picturing what they saw in the media, with the towers with black smoke around them...

...B. The Indian Mutyni The Indian Mutyni was a rebellion among native Indian soldiers who were against the British rule in India. The short story has therefore a historical meaning. The title of the whole story is symbolic cause of the army that Mr. Vello creates. Within the army there is a revolt and which is between Mr. Vellon and the boys. The text”The Indian Mutyni”, is a short story written by Will Self. The short story is about how a former student at Creighton Comprehensive School, Fein a talk show host, who action as a child led to his supply teacher committing suicide.

He knew that and he took advantage of it. In the first lesson with the class they were told to shut up by Mr. Vello, but class 4b didn’t follow that order. In class 4b, there were 3 minorities: There were “The Jews”, “The Gentiles” and “The Asians”. The ones who controlled the class, who had the power was the Gentiles and the Jews, who also called themselves “The Yids” and “The Yocks”, they fought about the power in the class. The Asians were different from the others. They were all first-generation immigrants. All the students except the Asians, was seen as the doomed dregs of the society. “Mr Vello saw the rest of us, immediately, for what we were: time-servers; time-wankers; boys full of nasty decadences.
