...award. Unfortunately I did not get in to the Maricopa Concurrent Nursing Program this fall semester; I spoke with an advise who said that the waiting list can laste anywhere from a year to two and the half years. My plan for next year is to either start with the Maricopa Nursing Program if I happened to get in or I'm going to enroll in a private nursing school to complete my BSN in no time. I'm half way through with most of the classes most nursing school requires for a BSN, I did my research on the pricing, length of program, and the schools success rate. I will be starting with Brooklyn College in the spring of 2018, if I don't hear from Phoenix College...

The Old Faithful Geyser at Yellowstone National Park , Wyoming is one of the most famous geyser in the world. Given the fame of this geyser, it receives visitors from various parts of the world. For convenience of time, the national park service have erected some sign at the site to try help visitors predict the time for the occurrence of the next eruption. The Old Faithful Geyser is not the biggest or most regular geyser in Yellowstone but it is the biggest regular geyser. It has been erupting in the same fashion throughout the recorded history. In fact becoming oneof the most the moststudied geyser in the history. In trying to predict the next eruption time, researchers make use of the duration of the current eruption. The duration is timed from the first heavy surge which lifts water skywards at the start of the eruption until the last small splash above the cone at the end. Previous studies show that, a 2 minute eruption results in an interval of about 55 minutes. There have existed various misconceptions with respect to this geyser; the first being that Old Faithful plays hourly, this misconception came about during the 1870, Washburn expedition where one of the members reported that that the geyser played hourly and so each day there are usually about 21 to 23...

...what was going on through everything would be explained to me as the ritual would go on. When first arriving at the Unitarian Universalist Church. I did notice that it was split into two different buildings and it did take me sometime in finding which building I had to go to. But to my surprise the building was something that I was not expecting. A newer building compared to the church that was next door. I was greeted and was then told that they were going to begin but were still waiting for some people to show up. In addition a guest minister was there to observe the ritual and he personally welcomed me. Standing outside of the church they had to thank the directions of the East, South, West, and North. The following is stated for each of the directions it is noted that each direction is different. The thanks for the East is as follows "Come to us o spirits of air, come to us on this spring day fair. Bring to us the warm flowing breeze, stir the...

...Logan McGeady 14 October 2014 ENG 121-020 Essay #2 Nothing To Be Done The play Waiting For Godot by Samuel Beckett engages the idea of what it means to be human and how meaningless life can really be. Beckett uses literary techniques to show that human life is based on chance, time is meaningless, and that people will impose meaning on life to distract themselves from the fact that their situation is unalterable. The realization of this drives the characters to rely on outside forces, which may or may not be real, for order and direction. The basic proposition Beckett imposes in the play is that chance is the main factor behind existence and human life. Therefore life is determined by chance and there Is nothing Vladimir or Estragon can do that can influence their life. This is established when Vladimir alludes to the story of the two thieves from the Bible. "One is supposed to have been saved… and the other…damned” (Beckett 4). The idea of percentage is important because this represents how the fate of humanity is determined randomly and without any reason. There is a percentage chance that a person will be saved and sent to heaven or damned and sent to hell, taking away meaning of human life and simply categorizing people into those who are saved, and those who are damned. Vladimir continues by citing the fault in the Gospels on the story of the two thieves. "And yet…[pause]…how is it that of the four Evangelists only one speaks of a thief being saved. The four of them...

...Pizzeria, a pizza parlor based in Palm Springs, California. Mario’s pizzeria is a successful business in Palm Springs that is known for its originality and freshness in taste. Mario, the owner of Mario’s Pizzeria, examines his grandson’s capability of managing Mario’s Pizzeria. He will test his grandson’s management abilities and will declare his grandson the heir of Mario’s pizzeria if his grandson is successful. In this simulation, one will run the restaurant as if Mario’s grandson and will use his/her knowledge from the previous business classes. The student’s goals are profit maximization and minimization of wait time for customers. Optimization of both factors is the key to success in this situation. Learning Curve Theory First step is identify whether the current table set up is appropriate for this business situation. I set a cost of 20 dollars per day for ten tables of four people. 95.71% of the four table sets are exploited at $20; 87.27% of the two table sets are exploited at $16. The operating staff of four people is operated at 86.94% with a mean, standard deviation, and total cost of $8.00, $2.12, and 200 dollars per day. The operating kitchen staff is employed at 65.14 percent efficiency with two people and a mean, standard deviation, and total cost of $3.00, $1.00, and $160.00. Altering the values of table sets and kitchen/waiter did not increase the profits as decreasing the table sets did increase the profits. The next task is to decide between restoring or...

...performing tier, or lowest performing tier. Teachers performing in the top tiers will be rewarded with public praise and annual bonuses, while teachers in the bottom tiers will be placed on probation which includes performance improvement courses. Teachers who are unable to improve their performance will be fired. The tactics to sell this plan to the Spring Branch Independent School District board will be based on consistency, intrinsic and extrinsic motivators, emotion, and the Expectancy Chain. Convincing the school board to fire underperforming teachers will challenge the educational status quo, but will improve the quality of education given to students. Reforming Education: Firing and Motivating Teachers Public education is failing in Texas. Texas ranks forty-first out of fifty states in high school graduation rates. “The research shows that kids who have two, three, or four strong teachers in a row will eventually excel, no matter what their background, while kids who have even two weak teachers in a row will never recover," says Kati Haycock of the Education Trust. To improve the quality of our educational system in Spring Branch Independent School District, particularly at the elementary grade levels, we need to ensure higher quality teachers in every classroom. Consequently, the current...

Along this phase of his journey, Alex meets Wayne Westerberg, Jan Burres and Ronald Franz. These new encounters with Alex, develop lasting impression on each and in the end will change what Chris learns from the entire experience.

...people who also respond to his love stuck look. He walks down through an alley and sees a woman but this isn’t Norma, so he murders her like he has done five times already. Norma has been dead for ten years. He says that his name is love and that he walked the dark streets because Norma was waiting for him. Characterization of the young man: The young man is dressed in a light grey suit with a narrow tie and a top collar where the button is undone, he is far from rich and his appearance is described as having dark, short cut hair, light blue eyes and a fair complexion and on this soft spring evening, he was beautiful. He is described very positively through most of the story. He is happy and in love, the feelings radiate out of him and emit an aura of happiness which is perceived by the bystanders on the street. When he hears the news on the radio we start to notice a change when he reaches into his pocket, he seems puzzled, lonely and haunted. He is never truly aware of the life around him; he is focused on something else. His true identity is the hammer murderer. The young man doesn’t have a name, even though he calls himself love, which gives us a feeling that he could be a person next to us. He is essentially a love obsessed psychopath looking for his long dead love, Norma, a brutal killer who claims to love but commits crimes of hate.
