...xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Instructor: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Eng. 102.xxxx xx October xxxxx Critical Analysis “Swagger Like Us” In her article, “Swagger Like Us,” Ann Friedman explains how women are not treated fairly like men and how women have been asserting themselves as do men do in the workplace, but have yet to receive similar respect and pay. She also points out how women have only made minimal gains in the political and professional world in the past few decades. Although Friedman initially reinforces her stand with women’s rights with interesting facts, later it becomes a biased argument with overly feminized ideas how women are supposedly better at various skills than men are. Friedman starts her article by telling the reader that ever since women have been making gains in the workplace in the 1970s, there has been questioning on how women can reach the same level as men. She explains that for women to be up to par with men they must oversell themselves in the interview, ask for more job raises and be more assertive at the job. She also presents the idea, “…we continue to simultaneously embrace the idea that powerful women promise to be different somehow, from powerful men” (par 3). This idea brings up the thought that woman are trying to be better than men and want to change the workplace by being different, this is a positive step towards reaching proper respect. She also believes how it is okay sometimes to “man up” when needed to, and how women should...

...#23 Manila Insurance v. sps Amurao GR 179628 1-16-2013 J. Del Castillo Suretyship - liability of surety Facts: Sps. Amurao (Creditor/Obligee) entered into a Construction Contract Agreement (CCA) w/ Aegean Construction Devt Corp (Debtor/Obligor) for the construction of a 6-storey commercial bldg. To guarantee its full & faithful compliance w/the terms & conditions of the CCA, Aegean posted a performance bond by Manila Insurance Co. (Surety) & Intra Strata Assurance Corp. (Surety). Due to failure of Aegean to comply w/the project, Sps. Amurao filed a Complaint vs. the Sureties to collect on the performance bond at the RTC QC. Manila Ins. filed a (motion to dismiss) M/D seeks to dismiss on grounds: 1) Lack of cause of action vs. Surety that filing of Complaint is premature due to failure to implead principal contractor; and that at the time the Surety Issued the performance bond, CCA was not yet signed; and 2) lack of jurisdiction. During pre-trial, Sureties discovered that the CCA contained an arbitration clause. RTC - denied Sureties M/D and subsequent M/R. It disregarded the fact that CCA was not yet signed at the time Surety issued the performance bond. CA - dismissed the petition. 1) The presence of arbitration clause in the CCA does not merit dismissal of the case; it is only when there are differences in the interpretation that parties may resort to arbitration 2) found no GAD on the part of the RTC, it explained that performance bond was intended to be coterminous...

The mix is not equivalent to experience different personalities; however, having the same personalities is a challenging factor in such cases.

...Hindi naging madali ang college life ni Anne, subalit sa kabila ng lahat ay nagawa niyang lampasan ang bawat pagsubok… sa tulong na rin ng mga taong malapit sa kanya. Noong mga panahong iyon nakilala nya si Steven, ang schoolmate nya na nagsilbing kanyang inspirasyon. Alam ni Anne na imposibleng magustuhan sya nito kung kaya mas pinili na lamang nya ang tsansa na maging magkaibigan sila. Nagkaroon ng matatag na pagkakaibigan ang dalawa.

COM JWESTON @ GOOGLE . COM LEON @ BOTTOU . ORG MICHAEL . KARLEN @ GMAIL . COM KORAY @ CS . NYU . EDU PKUKSA @ CS . RUTGERS . EDU NEC Laboratories America 4 Independence Way Princeton, NJ 08540 Editor: Michael Collins Abstract We propose a unified neural network architecture and learning algorithm that can be applied to various natural language processing tasks including part-of-speech tagging, chunking, named entity recognition, and semantic role labeling. This versatility is achieved by trying to avoid task-specific engineering and therefore disregarding a lot of prior knowledge. Instead of exploiting man-made input features carefully optimized for each task, our system learns internal representations on the basis of vast amounts of mostly unlabeled training data. This work is then used as a basis for building a freely available tagging system with good performance and minimal computational requirements. Keywords: natural language processing, neural networks 1. Introduction Will a computer program ever be able to convert a piece of English text into a programmer friendly data structure that describes the meaning of the natural language text? Unfortunately, no consensus has...
