...reported in a recent Newsweek magazine. Although home schooling was criticized in the past, such negative viewpoints are beginning to change. "Learning at Home: Does It Pass the Test?" by Barbara Kantrowitz and Pat Wingert discusses how the views on home schooling are changing and why home schooling can have advantages over normal schooling. The authors' purpose is to let their target audience know that home schooling can be respected as much as normal, typical schooling. They address their article toward parents and students, especially those who are or will be thinking about home schooling and/or those who are already home schooled. The writers draw on the audience's curiosity to gain support to their discussion. The authors do this by usin...... middle of paper ... ... have confidence in their analysis.

...(SNPs), present in the protein encoding regions of the genome can have a profound influence on the structure and function of a protein. Simply these are the changes that could be silent or can be expressive, but mostly are silent. SNPs sometimes have very deleterious effects, such as change in only one nucleotide can cause missarrangement of whole of the sequence and thus codon is misread, accordingly wrong protein will form. In this study effect of SNPs on cancerous diseases will be studied. Many genes have been reported whicg have many silent and some expressive but deleterious mutations or SNPs. We will use different databases to collect the relevant data of SNPs and genes such as FASTA sequence, position, number of chromosome etc. then by usin different softwares for computational analysis of SNPs, this data will be explained on genomic level. To analyse the effect on protein level computational analysis of codones will be done. This give a brief role of SNPs(change) and its effect(disease). OBJECTIVE and SCOPE Main purpose of this work is to find out the mechanism through which SNPs cause changes at protein level. As the data will provide briefly the changes in the gene (at nucleotide level) and also in the protein (at codon level), to completely clarify the cause and effect relationship. This understanding will help in different human health and welfare issues such as structural designing of drug, gene silencing, gene targeting, and anticancerous drug designing etc. ...

...ABSTRACT The HR Department of any company holds some of the most confidential and sensitive information in the organization. Data relating to employees is of a highly contentious and potentially litigious nature and has to be managed in accordance with compliance regulations. While sharing characteristics with other types of records, personnel records have some special characteristics; importance, sensitivity, longevity, quantity and ownership. We will base this report in the company called CASTELLON SA, manufacturing factory with more than 250 employees. NOTE TO THE CASTELLON SA HR DIRECTOR ABOUT WHY RECORDING, ANALYSING AND USIN HR DATA IS IMPORTANT I. Two reasons why organisations need to collect HR data. Collecting and recording HR data is vitally important to our organisation. We need to keep certain records, some because the law requires them, and some for company’s internal purposes. Being a production factory we have to ensure we are in compliance with Health and Safety laws and regulations ensuring that all staff is maintaining high health and safety awareness. To avoid any act of discrimination in our company and to prove that the company is adhering to UK’s current law and legislation we have to implement the Data Protection Act to our data collection policies. The HR data collection could help in our company’s overall performance measurement process. The data collected enable managers to make sound decisions more effectively. Some of the benefits of data...

...INTERACTIVE SESSION: MANAGEMENT VIRTUAL MEETINGS: SMART MANAGEMENT Instead oftaking that 6:30 A.M. plane to make a round of meetings in Dallas, wouldn't it be great if you could attend these events without leaving your desktop? 'Ioday you can, thanks to technologies for videoconferencing and for hosting online meetings over the Web. A June 2008 report issued by the Global e-Sustainability Initiative and the Climate Group estimated that up to 20 percent of business travel could be replaced by virtual meeting technology. A video conference allows individuals at two or more locations to communicate simultaneously through two-way video and audio transmissions. The critical feature of videoconferencing is the digital compression of audio and video streams by a device called a codec. Those streams are then divided into packets and transmitted over a network or the Internet. Until recently, the technology was plagued by poor audio and video performance, and its cost was prohibitively high for all but the largest and most powerful corporations. Most companies deemed videoconferencing a poor substitute for face-to-face meetings. However, vast improvements in videoconferenc ing and associated technologies have renewed inter est in this way of working. Videoconferencing is now growing at an annual rate of 30 percent. Proponents of the technology claim that it does more than sim ply reduce costs. It allows for "better" meetings as well: it's easier to meet with partners, suppliers, sub...

...Vermont on November 24, 1946 to Eleanor Cowell. The identity of his father is unknown. However, family members signified suspicions that the father may actually have been Louise’s own violent, abusive father named, Samuel Cowell, though there was no evidence to support such speculation. For the first three years of his life Bundy lived in the Philadelphia home of his maternal grandparents, Samuel and Eleanor Cowell, who raised him as their son to avoid the social stigma that accompanied illegitimate birth at the time. Family, friends, and even young Ted were told that his grandparents were his parents and that his mother was his older sister. Eventually he discovered the truth, but how and when is not clear. He told his girlfriend that a co usin showed him a copy of his birth certificate after calling him a "bastard", but he told biographers Stephen Michaud and Hugh Aynesworth that he found the certificate himself. Biographer and true crime writer Ann Rule, who knew Bundy personally, believes that he tracked down his original birth record in Vermont in 1969. Bundy expressed a lifelong resentment toward his mother for lying about his true parentage and leaving him to discover it for himself. While Bundy spoke warmly of his grandparents in some interviews and told Ann Rule that he "identified with", "respected", and "clung to" his grandfather, he and other family members told attorneys in 1987 that Samuel Cowell was a tyrannical bully and a bigot who hated blacks, Italians, Catholics...

...It has been sad that people will go to great lengths to acquire drugs which cause a certain “high“ experience .Even legalisation protests ,e.g. the world movement to legalise weed which is currently taking place all over the internet.so we took initiative to find out what Botswana’s youth thought on the issue of legalising illicit drugs. Interview 1 Interviewer: do you do drugs? Scholar: no I don’t. Interviewer: Have u ever wanted to do drugs? Scholar: Because I am not a fan of drugs. I feel that they would destroy my life I start Interviewer: Do u think legalisation of illicit drugs is a solution to abuse? Scholar: But how can that be a solution? No. Relying on any type of drugs to be happy is not right and is no way to live life, Interviewer: Why do u say it’s not right ?Isn’t life about what makes one happy so what if it is right to that person as it is the only way she/he can have a happy life, are they still wrong? Scholar: Life is what u make of it, so when u take drugs then you are letting something else control your life, you are giving away your power to something as petty as drugs? No thank you. Interviewer: Is there an upside legalisation? I mean don’t u think the intake of drugs could be monitored and henceforth reducing chancing of addiction? Scholar: Well I don’t think so because even though alcohol is legal and they try to regulate the total amount a person can take, it just never works, people still get wasted so it would probably be the same.

...Nancy D. Jimenez Ms. Kanavy English 1302 September 20th 2013 Mulatto: A Play Portraying Life In The South In his two act play Mulatto, Hughes portraits the life of southern blacks in the 1930’s and their struggle to be acknowledged as equals. The play describes a white man torn between two worlds; a black woman suffering, like any mother would, over the misbehavior of her child, and finally a black man in the quest for acknowledgement. And the series of events that lead to the death of the two men. It shows specially the struggle of a young man in the middle of a clash of two ethnic groups. We can also see Hughes reflected in his character Robert. As the play starts the first character we find is the white plantation owner, Mr. Norwood. Norwood is the father of five children, William, Sallie, Robert, John, and Bertha who he has with his mistress Cora Lewis. He is torn between the not so evident love for his children and the pressure of society. As we hear him speaking to Cora we see he does love his children but also has to be strict with them, especially with Robert. Norwood points this out in his speech to Cora: Cora, if you want that hardheaded yellow son of yours to get along around here, he’d better listen to me. He’s no more than any other black buck on this plantation. How’s Talbot going to keep the rest of those darkies working right if that boy’s allowed to set that kind of an example? Just because Bert’s your son, and I’ve been damn fool...

...Lecture : Discourse Analysis SIDE BY SIDE By Peter Panepento Melissa Meely dropped in to a chair in front of her manager’s cherry veneer desk. “I don't know how people with kids can do this job,” the 25-year-old radio advertising sales rep said. Her boss, Laurie Thompson, had heard such self-doubt before. Her six sales people in Connoisseur Media in Erie, in the shores of Lake Erie in Pennsylvania, often popped into her office to vent frustrations about a tough day of cold-calling. On this Wednesday in June 2006, as the late afternoon sun cast rays of light through a wall-lenght window, it was Melissa (Missi to her friends) who led the caravan into Laurie’s office. Laurie nodded. She didn't have children, devoting herself instead to a sales career, running marathons, cycling, sailing and spending tme with Chuck, her husband of nearly 20 years. “I don't think I’ll ever have kids though that would really disappoint my parents,” Missi said. “why? Because you're an only” laurie asked. Missi said her parents would be disappointed because they wanted grandkids. Then she added, almost as afterthought, “I was adopted.” From the time she was tiny, Missi knew that she was adopted. Doug and Sandy Meely were always open with their daughter about where she came from. “you weren’t had – you we chosen,” Doug would tell her. After they got married in October 1972, Doug and Sandy learnt that they were unable to conceive. But they longed for a family. So they sought out and adoption...

...Term paper On Design patterns Advanced topics in software engineering CSC 532 Submitted by:- Harpreet Singh Abstract:- Design patterns, a standard solution to problems in object oriented software engineering, are considered to be a well formed language to represent software design. Their benefits have been widely acknowledged by software professionals throughout the world. Design patterns can be classified according to multiple criteria the most common being the type of problem they solve. Till today many design patterns have been established and many more are being found as time passes. Patterns capture knowledge from various parts of software developing. Design patterns are helpful to the designers in a way that they represent the collective wisdom and experience of the community and their implementation leads to better quality software and also a novice designer does not find it difficult to understand the systems functionality. A very important advantage of design patterns is the fact that they speed up the development process by providing an almost ready-made solution that has been used earlier and proved to be efficient. Another advantage is that they allow for a generalized solution that does not depend on understanding a specific design problem from all its aspects, and thus ease reusing this solution. Apart from that they help the new developers to ignore traps and pitfalls which have earlier been learned by other developers by costly experience...
