...Trump praised NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell for taking a hard line on the National Anthem protests, even though that's not what the Commissioner did. "It is about time that Roger Goodell of the NFL is finally demanding that all players STAND for our great National Anthem-RESPECT OUR COUNTRY," he said in an early-morning tweet. But Goodell didn't demand or order players to stand. "Like many of our fans, we believe that everyone should stand for the National Anthem," said Goodell in that letter. "We want to honor our flag and our country, and our fans expect that of us." He said it is important that the league "move past this controversy."

...Michelle is living with her aunt, and as Michelle claims it´s because of her mother´s attempt to get into Hollywood. The two friends are more or less doing everything together. Summary: Karen and Michelle are preparing for a party, where Michelle suggests them both to dress up with the theme of chocolate buttons - “the fabulous button sisters”. Michelle has already decided that she wants to be white and Karen should be the ordinary one – the brown one. Michelle tells Karen, that she is taken the risk to stand out and be special, while Karen only will blend in unnoticed. Before the story gets to the night of the party, we simply get a closer insight on the relationship between Karen and Michelle. Like the various ideas that Michelle has, for example that they only should eat one color of food at every meal. At the night of the party, Michelle calls Karen and says that she should meet her on the corner in ten minutes. When Karen arrives, she sees Michelle wearing some other clothes than they had agreed. This confuses Karen because they had made an agreement on what to wear. The story ends with Michelle moving to her mother in “Hollywood” where she sends letters to Karen, but Karen finds out that the letters are from Birmingham in England, not from Hollywood in USA. And when Karen stops replying, the letters stops coming. Characterize Karen: Karen is a quite ordinary but also a bit quiet and perhaps unsecure teenager. This shows through Karen´s actions when she agrees...

...The Many Shades of Red The color red: it is beautiful, rich, and full of meaning. It represents many different things in today’s world such as love, danger, and revenge. Similarly, in the novel, The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, the color red is especially prominent. Color is important in this novel because every color has symbolic meaning behind it. This device of symbolism is used well in the novel, especially through the color red. It is the most important color because it is used the most, in the title of the book, and the color of the ‘A’. The color red symbolizes passion, shame and ultimately love. In The Scarlet Letter, it begins with a detailed description of a rose bush which symbolizes Hester and her passion. Roses are obviously red so immediately, red is going to be a very important color. In the following quote, it describes the rose bush and how it represents Hester: “This rose bush by a strange chance, has been kept alive in history; but whether it had merely survived out of the stern old wilderness, so long after the fall of the gigantic pines and oaks that originally overshadowed it, - or whether, as there is fair authority for believing, it had sprung up under the footsteps of the sainted Ann Hutchinson, as she entered the prison-door, - we shall not take upon us to determine” (50). This is the first encounter with red. It is the description of a wild red rosebush growing outside the prison where Hester was imprisoned. This is representing Hester’s...

...to be a product of sin, she is both a blessing and curse and she has to live with a broken family. Pearl is a product of sin of Hester and Dimmesdale. Hester and Dimmesdale are both sinner but Hester is the only one that has to express her wrong doing to everyone by wearing a badge “A” for adultery. The towns people automatically make assumptions and judgements about pearl based on her mother's actions. The towns people usually associate Pearl with “evil” and not a every day little girl. Hawthorne talks about pearl “ we have yet hardly spoken of the infant, the little creature, whose innocent had sprung...of the guilty passion” (Hawthorne chapter 6). Hawthorne uses these words “sprung” and “guilty passion” to show that pearl was born away that is not acceptable for society....

...Letter to the Editor A short time ago, a commercial ad about gun control was shown. This ad shows a clock ticking down all the while showing young students, parents, teachers and an unknown person carrying a bag. This was a very emotional way for me to enter the world of gun control. The news seems full of school shootings lately, starting with Columbine, Virginia Tech, Sandy Hook and the last one at USC campus. They seem to be growing on scale and frequency. School shootings and gun control have become tied together in the last few years. We have witnessed an increase in school shooting in both frequency and violence in almost every year and there has been 3 in 2014 already with the year is not even half over. Now, as the country absorbs news of yet another mass shooting, both supporters and opponents of stricter gun laws are asking whether this carnage may change the opinions at the state or national levels. (Cooper, 2012) Shannon Watts, the founder of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America commented “Over the past year, we have grieved the loss of too many victims and witnessed to much inaction by our elected officials” (US News, 2013) Now it really doesn’t matter what side of the fence you sit on, you see I am a pro-gun advocate and for me, something has to be done. We cannot wait any longer or debate any longer while our children our being gunned down. We as a nation need to stand up and not be silent about this issue. I am respectfully submitting this letter...

...other telecommunication operators are required to comply with proposed transactional price reallocations as well as the cost of acquiring contracts. These issues will have great negative impacts on our business as a telecommunication operator. These concerns are as illustrated below: a) Inquiry for further clarification as well as guidance b) Allocation of discount c) The basis for allocation d) Contract acquisition cost Checking on the feedbacks that have been provided by other telecommunication operators, it is clear and more than obvious that these comments that we have raised do not only affect TeleFones4U, but also other similar companies. These feedbacks are indications that the new proposed exposure draft enjoys little or no support telecommunication industry. Most of these companies believe that the cost of implementation may be too high. In addition to this, TeleFones4U together other mobile...

...The Scarlet Letter: A Not-So-Similar Ending between the Movie and the Novel The Scarlet Letter is a novel written by Nathaniel Hawthorne in 1850. In 1995, an adaptation movie of the novel was released. The movie, however, is not quite similar with the novel as one would hope – something that could be predicted easily as in the beginning in the movie the excerpt “freely adapted from the novel by Nathaniel Hawthorne” was shown. There are few differences that can be found between the ending of the novel and the movie, all of which would be discussed in the following paragraphs. The first difference appears when Arthur Dimmesdale confesses that he is the father of Pearl in front of the townspeople. In the novel, Dimmesdale does this on his Election Day sermon, where he suddenly asks Hester to stand next to him. He also shockingly reveals a red mark on his breast, which makes many people gasp because somehow it is similar with the scarlet letter worn by Hester. In the movie, however, Dimmesdale confesses his sin on a completely different occasion. His confession occurs when Hester, along with other women who are accused of practicing witchcraft, are about to get hanged in front of the townspeople. Dimmesdale interrupts the execution and after making his confession, he offers his life in place of Hester’s. And he was this close of getting hanged when the Indians attack the town and save his life. The different occasion on Dimmesdale’s confession apparently leads to the second difference...

...The reason for writing this letter is to notify our community of the possible health risks established by the local gas company practices. The decision made to write this letter is to inform my much-loved community of people that may have been affected by this sudden break out of illnesses in the area and to spread the word of awareness to this situation to everyone else that might not be aware of this problem. After an extensive investigation I have come to the conclusion that we are in danger of health problems due to improper practices by the gas company within our community some years ago. Moving into this community a couple years ago was the best thing that happened to my family for it was home and felt like home. We have met some of the greatest neighbors and my children attend some of the best knitted schools in the community. My daily commute to and from work has been painless and I have really been able to save more money than usual; due to rising gas prices. Prior to me moving in, I was extremely anxious to move into such a new community that just so happen to be in a suburban area. With the city fairly close to us and shopping centers not more than two miles away is another factor that I have grown to love. Overall, this newly developed community has impacted my family lives for the better. A few weeks ago the local news was covering the latest breakthrough of illnesses impacting the families that stay in our community. After tuning in to this coverage my instinct kicked...

In the 2009 film "Up in the Air," Natalie Keener decides she can no longer stomach being part of a corporate firing squad and quits her firm. Her mentor, played by George Clooney, behaves as the magnanimous gent we all know him to be: he writes a glowing reference letter on her behalf, addressed simply "to whom it may concern." In the real world, getting a reference letter is far more difficult and often a source of much anxiety. Whom to ask, how to ask, what to say? But getting an outstanding reference letter is entirely within your control and easier than you think, even if you don't have a benevolent benefactor at your back. Here are three tips to ensure your mentor, former boss, or academic counselor writes you a rave review: 1. Highlight their qualifications 2. Provide a template 3. Offer a "no questions asked" policy Let's look at each of these individually: Highlight their Qualifications When reaching out to ask for a letter of reference, explain up front and center why it is that you value that person's opinion and respect their professional expertise enough so that you chose them (of all people) to vouch for you in your...
