...of deceit with white rabbits and doves, though this may sound like a cheesy romantic comedy line or a spiritual guidance line, magic is everywhere. At least to me it is. You can feel it when you’re just in a happy mood, when everything seems to go right. It’s as if the sun is shining brighter on you, the air smells sweeter, nothing anyone says can bring you down, and you’re even able to find that ten dollar bill on the floor. Magic can be the love between two people. The feeling you get when you are with them, love is the most magical thing in the world. Magic is also the relationship of a mother and child is more powerful than any kind of love in the world. She will sacrifice anything for her child. A mother will be your first love, your best friend, your everything. My mom is like no other. She gave me life, nurtured, taught me, dressed me, fought for me, held me, shouted at me, kissed me, but most importantly loved me unconditionally. There are not enough words I can say to describe just how important my mom means to me. That feeling of weightlessness which leaves you floating an inch off the floor all day is magic. There are...

...product is it doesn’t just make guns they also make ammunition, gun slings, and clothes also. In some years from now Remington products can triple in value if you’re into collecting Remington products. It doesn’t stop there Remington products give out specials all the time. For instance when purchasing a gun they throw in a scope with it. Yes other brand names do the same thing sometimes but it’s not as good of a scope that Remington is giving away. Remington brands are all worth it. People name their dogs and even their kids after this product. Also Remington’s product come with light weight material that’s not cheap. For instance their guns are made of plastic, their light to carry around, were other guns are made of solid wood and heavy to carry. Not everybody would agree but it sure is helpful when walking around hunting with a lighter gun. Years down the road Remington is going to come up with new and improved items for sale. Some of the products they sale already are on shelf’s are examples of what’s coming in the future. They’re going to come up with better clothes, better guns, and better everything than any other brand out there right now. They already have guns that when you shot there is no kick to it, the scopes are clearer, the ammunition is more proficient. Now when there is good things about the product than there has to be bad things as well. The only bad thing is that it’s a little pricey than the other bands. So you have to ask...

...Abstract: The article presents five suggestions on how to reduce the amount of paper used in a household. It talks about the need to go through old paperwork and recycling unneeded papers. It mentions that bank statements, utility bills, medical data, and other information is often available online. It recommends scanning documents to PDF files and considers storing data either using cloud computing or on a hard drive. It states that users should sign up for electronic statement delivery or electronic billing services and provides the website http://OptOutPrescreen.com and Earth Class Mail http://go.pcworld.com/ecm to reduce the amount of mail sent to a household Five Steps to Going Almost Paperless We show you how to sift, scan, and recycle your way to a near-paperless existence IT'S OVER BETWEEN me and my file cabinet Six drawers full of dead trees. Total weight: a gargantuan 194.7 pounds of paper. I can't think of any less useful way to utilize home-office space, especially when most of the contents, once filed, will never be touched again. My goal wasn't necessarily to dump every scrap of paper, but at least I wanted to get it all down to a single file-cabinet drawer. Here's how I did it, and how you can, too. Sift and Sort Ruthlessly Sifting through the paperwork took me two afternoons. If you're embarking on a similar quest, this first step is the most difficult but also the most rewarding.

...Study Habits & Test Anxiety The following information provides tips for better study habits and decreased test anxiety. The Immediate Environment The environment in which you study can have a big effect on how efficient your study time is. Check your place of study for the following conditions: * Noise * Interruptions * Lighting * Temperature * Neatness * Comfort * Equipment Minimize distracting noise. Some people need some sound and some like silence. Find what works for you. Culprits are family and friends. Consider a "do not disturb sign" and turning on your answering machine. You can catch up with folks later. 75 watt bulbs are best, but not too close and placed opposite the dominant hand. Better cool than warm. Have plenty of room to work; don't be cramped. Your study time will go better if you take a few minutes at the start to straighten things up. A desk and straight-backed chair is usually best. Don't get too comfortable--a bed is a place to sleep, not study. Have everything (book, pencils, paper, coffee, dictionary, laptop, calculator, tape recorder, etc.) close at hand. Don't spend your time jumping up and down to get things. Preparing for or Anticipating Test Anxiety * What is it you have to do? Focus on dealing with it. * Just take one step at a time. * Think about what you can do about it. That's better than getting anxious. * No negative or panicky self-statements; just think rationally. * Don't worry; worrying...

...First is personal management and employability. This is a tough one for me and i'm still getting the hang of it. As I get more into this type of job work or possibly college, I'll probably get more used to the hours and stuff like that. For me this topic means that you are able to put personal matters behind and focus on the workplace. And also being there on time as well as working responsibility. This and career development kind've gone hand in hand with being able to develop the skills and mindset of being able to do this career on a daily basis. It doesn't seem like much but it takes a lot of mental strengths to be a vet. For example if you've had lots of animals who've passed on, it might be hard to express those feelings when working around animals 24/7. Another part on why it takes mental strength is because if you are performing an operation or trying to help the animal wither it's been attacked or abused, and it dies, then you might feel like you want to blame yourself because there's more that you thought you could have done. When it comes to a job like this the main part is knowing how to communicate. When an owner comes in with his or her pet you can't be informal and talk to them like they're your friend. Of course you have to be polite and friendly but you can't be talking to them while not having good grammar, and the correct terminology when it comes to diagnosing their pet....

...In the article, “What’s wrong with school?” John Holt criticizes schools because he thinks ‘children should control their learning’. I think Holt is right but I don’t agree. There are many good reasons about school. School helps students learn. Also, it gives students a higher way of life. Students learn a lot from good and bad in school. School teaches students how to read, write, etc. Also, to teach students and tell them about the history or even the present. They even teach math and science. This is great because it will give students an opportunity to know what to do in life. If they want to become a writer. If they want to become a scientist or even a teacher. They can be low lives. It’s all up to them. School is there as a choice. School can get students into college. It doesn’t have to be a University. As long as they go to a college for a diploma. It’s not all about the nice diploma though. It’s about having a lot of knowledge and making your way out into life’. With good grades in school you can get a good paying job. So I’ve heard from my parents and teachers. Even under age, but with a permit. That is good because it gets students pumped up and ready for the next step. Not only do students learn how to study and stuff but they learn how to communicate and socialize with others. Socializing is important in life because you get to hear out other students’ thoughts and opinions. Also, they get to hear out yours. That way students can learn a lot more too; from...

...Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff Abstract This book report is about Richard Carlson’s book, “Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff…and it’s All Small Stuff”. The book explores how small the small things can cause stress to people, and gives advice on how to combat those small things. Carlson (1997) describes different ways to calm down during the hectic, day-to-day life, and how to remove stress by changing your perspective about things. Carlson offers 100 different sections of advice, organized in chapter formats. Carlson teaches the reader to look at life another way and gives relevant examples on how to do this to eliminate daily stress. Carlson gives such advice as to “live in the present moment” and “to make peace with imperfection”, among other stress reliving advice. Carlson’s main objective is to shift the reader’s paradigm on what is really important in the day-to-day life and how changing your thinking can greatly impact your life. The book “Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff…and it’s all Small Stuff” by Richard Carlson was a very profound book to read. It was both eye-opening, and an effective reminder that negative or bad things that happen to us can’t always be taken too seriously. We go about our lives and react to things, treating things as a constant emergency and don’t stop to think what that reaction may cause. This is the biggest point that Carlson tries to makes in the book, in that how we relate to our problems...

...basic marketing checklist, a quick way to make sure that you've done your job. Nothing is guaranteed, of course, but it used to be that if you dotted your is and paid attention to your five Ps, then you were more likely than not to succeed. No longer. It's time to add an exceptionally important new P to the list: Purple Cow. Weird? Let me explain. While driving through France a few years ago, my family and I were enchanted by the hundreds of storybook cows grazing in lovely pastures right next to the road. For dozens of kilometers, we all gazed out the window, marveling at the beauty. Then, within a few minutes, we started ignoring the cows. The new cows were just like the old cows, and what was once amazing was now common. Worse than common: It was boring. Cows, after you've seen them for a while, are boring. They may be well-bred cows, Six Sigma cows, cows lit by a beautiful light, but they are still boring. A Purple Cow, though: Now, that would really stand out. The essence of the Purple Cow -- the reason it would shine among a crowd of perfectly competent, even undeniably excellent cows -- is that it would be remarkable. Something remarkable is worth talking about, worth paying attention to. Boring stuff quickly becomes invisible. The world is full of boring stuff -- brown cows -- which is why so few people pay attention. Remarkable marketing is the art of building things worth noticing right into your...

...Our secular world would have us believe that more money, fame, stuff, and so on are the most important things in our lives. Morrie’s philosophy on this idea is that people who buy into it are “accepting substitutes for real love4.” As the two men sit together in Morrie’s house, Mitch reflects on how his professor’s house has been “filled with friendship, family, honesty and tears, colleagues, students, meditation teachers, therapists, nurses and a cappella groups. It had become in a very real way, a wealthy home, even though Morrie’s bank account was rapidly depleting5.” Here is even more conclusive proof that the “stuff” in our lives is not what brings true happiness. Morrie’s reaction when Mitch comes to see him for the first time in years (at the start of the book) is one of unabashed happiness. People make this life worth...

...that “video gaming causes increases in the brain regions responsible for spatial orientation, memory formation, and strategic planning, as well as fine motor skills.” Video games are often assumed to take a toll on the person that plays them physically, emotionally, and/or psychologically. These assumptions often come from concerns that a person has, rather than the evidence that can prove otherwise. This has been a problem since video games first came around. The good side to video games, such as hand eye coordination being trained, will be talked about. The bad side, such as the violence in video games, or the addiction they cause, will also be addressed. These problems are often serious problems and can be difficult to deal with. It is worth noting that some video games can actually be good for a person to be playing—in moderation of course. The Positive Effects of Video Games One thing that video games can help train is a person’s spatial navigation. Spatial navigation is the ability to be able to know what is around you, even though you might not be looking that direction. Though often the game that trains this area the best is a first-person shooter (often violent), the player becomes more aware of their surroundings and practices being able to react different depending on their surroundings. A study done at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development shows that people playing a game called “Super Mario 64” have increased size in brain regions that are...
