...Three ways out of this difficulty might possibly be suggested by any humble imitator of Mr. Gladstone. First, the early English pirates may have learnt the word _castrum_ (they always used it as a singular) years before they ever came to Britain as settlers at all. For during the long decay of the empire, the corsairs of the flat banks and islets of Sleswick and Friesland made many a light-hearted plundering expedition upon the unlucky coasts of the maritime Roman provinces; and it was to repel their dreaded attacks that the Count of the Saxon Shore was appointed to the charge of the long exposed tract from the fenland of the Wash to the estuary of the Rother in Sussex. On one occasion they even sacked London itself, already the chief trading town of the whole island. During some such excursions, the pirates would be certain to pick up a few Latin words, especially such as related to new objects, unseen in the rude society of their own native heather-clad wastes; and amongst these we may be sure that the great Roman fortresses would rank first and highest in their barbaric eyes. Indeed, modern comparative philologists have shown beyond doubt that a few southern forms of speech had already penetrated to the primitive English marshland by the shores of the Baltic and the mouth of the Elbe before the great exodus of the fifth century; and we know that Roman or Byzantine coins, and other objects belonging to the Mediterranean civilisation, are found abundantly in barrows of the first...

...Sagar Parsana Professor Warren Kelly ENC 1102 College Writing 2 3 August 2015 Paper 5 Final Draft Exploitation of Animals: Rats and human ethics In the field of science and technology, the last decade has proven to be the most successful time period. Advancements in the field of science, such as Genetic engineering, has made human life easier. But, the critics in this field has raised many questions regarding ethical, environmental, economical, and social dilemmas. Recently, there has been a sharp increase in the number of animals used for technological research, and many animal extremists around the world are blaming scientists for breaking ethical codes. Rats and mice are being used for formulating new cancer drugs by scientists only for the benefit of human beings. Rats, along with mice and rodents, make up more than ninety percent of the animals used in research. There are number of questions raised by animal extremists, such as for what purpose these animals are being exploited? Should we consider the question of ethics and morality while these animals are mistreated for Humans selfish purpose? How should the attitude and practice toward the animal change? An online journal, The Conversation included in its article “Animals in Research: Rats,” such animals were used because humans and rats both are mammal, they have similar structure and functions regarding their body. That is one of the specific reason for why rats are used in medicinal research. Even though this research...

...Today is Veterans Day. Everyone knows this. But one day a year is not enough. Several of my friends are veterans and they are some of the best people I've ever met. They delayed being able to have the things we all want in life (souse, children, materialistic crap that none of us really need) so that the rest of us can safely pursue those things. They accepted the risk of death and of never being able to have those things. They accepted the fact that there would be friends made while in the service and some of those friends would die standing next to them. Veterans give up a lot and risk even more so that we can be happy and safe from people who look to do us harm. One day a year when you remember to be thankful is not enough. You should...

...Independence Day The Independence Day is an annual celebration by the whole world but Malaysian names it as a Merdeka Day. All countries honour their respective independence day, celebrating it as a national holiday. Thus, on the 31 August every year, it is marked as the Malaysian Independence Day. However, there are lot differences of celebrating the Independence Day on 31 August and today in terms of spirit and technology. The differences of celebrating the Independence Day on 31 August 1957 and today is the spirit of independence. The new generations do not know how to appreciate the freedom that they have today. For instance, people nowadays do not understand the real meaning of the historic day. In addition, it can be seen that many teenagers nowadays prefer to have a party to celebrate the day. In contrast, people in the past had a strong spirit for independence. As a consequence, they really understood the real meaning of freedom because they fought for their country. In brief, people in the past appreciated the real meaning of freedom and their patriotism is stronger than people today. Next, people today use a different technology to celebrate the Independence Day compared to the past. . Nowadays, technology helps people to realize the real meaning of freedom. On the other hand, people today use technology like radio and internet to raise the spirit of patriotism among them. However, people in 1957 do not have the technology to show their appreciation on...

...Today is the day Ladies and Gentleman! We are gathered here today to discuss one of the greatest subjects in the history of mankind! If we don’t act now, the planet as we know it will never be the same. I am here today, to fight for the future, to fight for the coming generations and to fight for our survival! The world as we know it is changing! Today is the day! The day where we will be united as one. Today is the day where we make use of the endless power and intelligence God gave us upon creation. We will work together as a team, regardless of wealth and poverty, black and white, young and old, gay and straight, disabled and not disabled, to save the future of tomorrow! A study, by scientists at the World Health Organization determined that 154,000 people die every year from the effects of global warming. These numbers could almost double by 2020. This is not acceptable! We can’t just close our eyes, and hope for the best. We made this problem, and we are the only ones who can get us back on track. No nation, however large or small, wealthy or poor, can escape the impact of climate change. Rising sea levels threaten every coastline and families are already being forced to flee their homes as climate refugees. More powerful storms and floods threaten every continent. Katrina as well as the tsunami in 2004 was just the beginning. Fellow citizens! Is this really a place for our children to live, to grow up? You and I may not feel the consequences of the climate change...

...the phrase “back in the day”. My parents say this phrase all of the time. Especially when me or my brother gets into trouble. For instance, every weekend I either hang out around the house or go out with friends. One time my parents were telling my brother and I about their childhood, saying that every weekend they would clean the house and on Sundays they would go to church. I’m pretty sure every parent has said something about their childhood to their children as a lesson for the child to learn. Child behavior today is worse than it was 20 years ago or back in the day. One reason supporting my opinion statement is new technology and social media. I feel like the new technologies today are devastating the new generation of children. 76% of students say that they use social media 2 hours a day (Hatch 26). In 1996, 70% of parents purchased educational software for children (NAEYC 3). All of the different computers and social medias today weren’t even thought of back in the day....

...Day 1: Had my first day today and it was very interesting. First I had an orientation where we went over general guidelines for interns at Viacom and then we signed some paperwork. Played some icebreaker games and got a crash course in all the entities that Viacom owns such as MTV, MTV2, VH1, Comedy Central, CMT, BET. After I met with JC, one of the research analysts for MTV and I got a tour of where I was working and met fellow employees and met my supervisor Mitchell. I then attended a meeting with the research, programming and creative insight teams where we discussed millennials (people aged 15-30) and their media consumption. We watched clips about certain shows that were going to be aired and whether or not millennials would watch these shows. We also discussed other areas regarding media consumption. Day 2: I arrived early to work to start learning. The more the better in my opinion. I got acclimated at my desk and started learning the basics. I got a crash course in MTV and ratings since I am in intern in the research and strategic insights department. Then I attended a focus group regarding upcoming MTV events and gave input regarding the specific topics. Got acclimated with startrak, the system in which MTV/MTV 2 pulls ratings. Day 3: got acclimated with startrak even more. Learned some of the more difficult tasks associated with it. I learned how to pull the ratings for MTV and checked ratings that my supervisors JC, Cara, and Mitchell create. Basically its just...

...II) The closing market price of any day is considered as a) Going up if it is greater than the mean + 0.5 SD. b) Going down if it is less than mean – 0.5 SD. c) Remaining steady if it is between mean + 0.5 Sd. Classify the collected sample of the prices according to i) ‘going up’, ii) ‘going down’ or iii) ‘remaining steady’. Write the table for the classification. III) Calculate the probability of price i) going up ii) going down and iii) remaining steady. Is this conditional probability or a simple probability? IV) It is observed that the status of closing market price of any day depends on the status of the previous day. If yesterday’s status of the price is ‘up’ then using this sample what is the probability that a) Today the price goes up. b) Today the price goes down. c) Today the price remains steady. If yesterday’s status of the price is ‘down’ then what is the probability that a) Today the price goes up. b) Today the price goes down. c) Today the price remains steady.

...Essay Title: Body Project Course title: Regulating Bodies, Youth, Identity and consumption The body is a topic of much discussion within society at the moment with focus on media and consumer consumption. This has brought to light a range of issues surrounding the body, and literature from decades ago have been looked at and performed in a modern light to produce up to date research on the body. This body project gives me an opportunity to not only understand myself about body sculpting, but allow a better understanding on the literature and provide additional evidence that will either support or reject themes and theories in this chosen topic. My choice to choose the topic of dieting for this body project was an easy one to make. From the age of about fifteen I have been conscious of my weight despite being told ‘you aren’t fat,’ and ‘you don’t need to diet.’ These comments were not enough to deter me not to take up different dieting techniques and phases of exercising however more times than not I would fail at reaching my targets. I therefore saw this opportunity as a way to try again as the pressure of keeping a diary and writing up on it may encourage me to maintain it for longer than my previous attempts. I find the topic of dieting very interesting not just in terms of myself but also in terms of society as a whole. After researching this topic of interest and not realising it myself but dieting has a significant association with the increased risk of not only...
