...I’ve Used #YOLO To Justify My Poor Life Decisions AUG. 2, 2012 By JANUARY NELSON 1. I told a boy that I had a crush on him five minutes after I saw him making out with some girl at a house party. After confessing my true feelings, I lunged at him so we could have a make out session of our own. Surprisingly, it worked. The power of YOLO, you guys! 2. One night recently I went to an ex-boyfriend’s birthday party and waited around until everyone left so I could seduce him. My plan backfired, however, because by the time everyone left, I was so wasted that I ended up just passing out on the couch. The next morning, my ex was like “…” and I was like “…” and we both were like “YOLO.” 3. Anytime I eat after 4 a.m., it’s predicated upon the excuse of “YOLO.” There should be a sandwich at the deli just named “YOLO.” “I’ll take the YOLO to go and, no, I prefer not to talk about it.” 4. Last month, I stayed up till 6 a.m. with a beautiful boy I just met. He was so gorgeous but so, so dumb. I don’t ordinarily do things like that. I don’t just go home with beautiful boys and stay up till 6 a.m. I am a lady, dammit! But, I swear it was the YOLO taking over me. Okay, and maybe like a little bit of the MDMA I ingested earlier in the evening, if you want to be honest, WHICH I DON’T. That night, as he was bringing me to climax, I wanted to scream “YOLO YOLO YOOOOOOO-LOOOOOOOOO!” but I didn’t. Missed opportunity, for sure. 5. Ordering delivery three times in one day. #YOLO. 6. Crying...

...David Kim Prof. Stone Human Development 3.21.13 Death and Dying Mark’s job I found very fascinating. The fact that Mark deals with patients during and the after math of death brings a whole new level to his job. I am looking for a job in the health field that doesn’t involve a lot of blood but with patients. And the fact that there is a job like his shows there is more to the field of health than just blood. So it got me really focused on what he does. I also respect what the job he does, because Mark works in a very sensitive area, so he knows he always has to be careful of what he says. Mark has a very special job, not like any job you can find just by applying. If it’s one thing I learned, it’s that grief never ends. Grief has different stages for each person and that it can look very different for each person. The death of a person can also affect a person tangible to him or her. I got the sense of feeling that death also tends to linger with some people. Meaning, mark gave off different aurora sorts of feeling. When Mark came in, I felt a different aurora from him than just a normal person I would see on the streets or at school. I learned that death is very real, today, a sudden of realization I don’t know anyone that has died in my life to be honest. And so death was never real to me. If there is one person that has been affected by death it was my mom. Her brother died and she cried for days, but didn’t affect me much because I didn’t know him very well. If it’s...

...“THE THEORY OF OPRIN AND HALDANE” According to their theory, life evolved in the oceans during a period when the atmosphere was reducing - containing H2, H2O, NH3, CH4, and CO2, but no free O2. Organic compounds were synthesized nonbiologically by ultraviolet light energy, which in the absence of an ozone shield would penetrate the upper layers of the ocean. Without free O2 to oxidize them, these organic molecules would be stable, and would accumulate in a warm, dilute broth that has been nicknamed "Haldane soup." The first living organism would be little more than a few chemical reactions wrapped up in a film or membrane to keep them from being diluted and destroyed. These organelles would absorb chemicals, grow, divide, and obtain energy by fermenting the available organic molecules around them. Photosynthesis would arise eventually as an alternative energy source when natural foods ran short. The oxygen released by photosynthesis would have the side effect of screening out the ultraviolet radiation with an ozone layer in the upper atmosphere, and eventually would turn the atmosphere from reducing to oxidizing. Free oxygen would lead to the evolution of respiration and to modern eucaryotic metabolism. This Oparin-Haldane theory was a remarkably complete blueprint for the ideas still held today. It was especially remarkable because in 1929 virtually none of the biochemical details of the previous chapters were known. None of the chemistry of glycolysis, respiration,...

...There are multiple definitions of what systems analysis is but most include three basic principles. These three principles include (1) the studying of the system already in place, (2) specifying the requirements and (3) designing and implementing new systems.Systems analysis is a process that has many ways of being fulfilled depending on the company but the key purpose is the same and it should always be structured and organised. | | The systems analyst has a couple of main drivers which keep them going, the biggest of these is the desire to make profit(Of course this is a business and so it will likely always be top priority to make money).Another thing that drives the business is the need for growth, this can be linked with profit also as when a company grows they will get more custom, which then results in more money coming into the business.To do this the systems analyst must interact with the business to find out exactly how their current system works through acts such as interviewing workers that are using the current system and presenting them with questionnaires to fill in or shadowing the employees over a period of time, there are many ways in which a systems analyst can gather the information needed. Once they know how the current system works they can get information from workers on what they need/would like the system to do that it either does not do currently or does not do very well. They can then communicate with those higher up in the business and suggest solutions...

...GENERALS DIE IN BED – Charles Yale Harrison JR’s TEACHER NOTES Explain and speculate what the title of the novel is inferring about the Generals. A. * The title is a pun or is having a go at the generals. * Generals die in bed while the soldiers die on the front lines. * Generals don’t fight. Instead they command soldiers from a safe distance behind the frontlines * The title suggests that there is a total lack of respect for generals or for people in positions of power/ authority. If this happens in war then there is a breakdown in the chain of command, therefore making it difficult to win the war itself. Glossary Compile a comprehensive list of words/ terms/ phrases/ places from the text and from the period in which the novel is set in. These words and terms should then feature in your coursework and text responses. * Trench warfare * Western Front * Alliance * Mother Country * Over the top * No mans land * Parapet * Sniper * Artillery * Shell Shock * Shrapnel * Minewerfer – mine throwing trench mortars * Parados – the wall of the trench * Blighty – England * Bosch/ Heine – derogatory term for a German * Estaminet – French café * Propaganda – exaggerating the truth * Lice/ louse – small parasitic insect * Funk-hole – a cavity carved out of the inside of the trench * Raid * Interrogation Quotes Choose at least 3 quotes per chapter and attach who said...

...Personality overview Many theories have been developed throughout the years to help with understanding personality. A theory is a set of related assumptions that allows scientists to formulate testable hypotheses (Feist, 2009). The reason behind the existence of several theories is so that a theorist can speculate from a specific point of view. A theory is a tool that is used by scientists to pursue knowledge. Many of the personality theories derive from the personality of the theorist. In this paper I am going to discuss the similarities and differences surrounding Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytical theory and Melanie Klein’s object relations theory. The most famous of all personality theories is psychoanalysis, developed by Sigmund Freud in the 1920s. Psychoanalysis is a school of thought that emphasized how the unconscious mind influenced behavior. Freud based his theories on the experiences he received from his patients. He believed that the human mind consisted of three components: the id, the ego and the super-ego. The id controlled the basic needs of the body such as hunger, thirst, sleep, etc… The ego makes sure that these needs are met as well as meeting the needs of the super-ego. The super-ego represents the ideal and moral aspects of a personality. Freud believed in free association, which was hard for some of his patients to master. This made dream analysis one of his famous forms of therapeutic technique. The Theories and methods in psychoanalytic thinking...

...Deep packet inspection, or DPI, is software technology that is used that provides you with the ability to completely inspect any of the network packet, Some of the advantages include the full parsing of the content layers of the packet is the only dependable way to discover some of the most hazardous attacks, which have often been either mutated or muddied by using special encoding schemes, embedded content, nonstandard syntax or compression. Anyone who has ever attempted to crack Wi-Fi passwords in order to test for security vulnerabilities on a specific network, then you have probably been familiarized with Kali Linux. This security-focused version of Linux provides a mass array of tools that are utilized to seek out any possible weaknesses along with securing your network. Kali Linux NetHunter is a dedicated project which is specifically set-aside for compatibility and porting for use on specific Android devices. Wireshark is a network analysis tool that was formerly called Ethereal. This tool can be utilized to capture packets in real time and present them in literal-readable format. This networking tool also includes color-coding, filters and other features that allow you to inspect individual packets and dig deep into the traffic of a network. Whenever you are attempting to inspect something rather specific, it will help if you close down all of the other applications that are using the network so that you are able to limit the traffic.

...Cathode Ray Tubes Experiment The concept of the atom started with John Dalton (in 1808) proposing that ‘atoms’ existed which were comparable to tiny indestructible balls. Even though this theory wasn’t completely accurate, it set the stage for all of modern chemistry. Sir William Crooke: * Was responsible for making the cathode ray tubes. * The cathode ray was fired into a glass tube containing a partial vacuum. * The tube had a cathode plate (negatively charged) and an anode plate (positively charged) at one end of the tube. * When voltage is fed through the plates a small spark is created. * Once pump technology was introduced, the small spark turned into a purple ray. * Crooke found out that the cathode rays could be deflected with magnetic fields. Sir J.J Thompson: * First person to figure out that atoms are not indivisible and were not the smallest components in the universe. * The electron was discovered in experiments by Thompson, based on Crooke’s cathode ray tubes. 1st Experiment: * During the first 3 experiments, the cathode tube uses deflector plates inside the glass tube to form the ray into a more focused beam so he could tell if the ray was deflected easier. * Using a previously discovered principle stating that when a charged particle enters a uniform electric field (but no magnetic field), it will follow a perfect parabolic path, the size of which depended on the particles’ mass, charge and initial velocity. ...

The main objectives that were kept in mind by U.S while transferring its troops to Afghanistan are also discussed. The paper also concisely discusses the failure of the strategies undertaken by U.S and reasons for the failure. The paper also analyzes different aspects that left Afghanistan in a situation in which it cannot pursue without the help of another powerful country and also sheds light on the present situation of Afghanistan. The conclusion was drawn keeping in mind all the points, which were taken from credible sources, discussed in the paper. The paper includes several references to make the point more credible and clear to the reader. Success of U.S strategy in Afghanistan The American government was doubtful that even a stable and acceptable outcome in Afghanistan is possible. They believed that Afghanistan has never been managed effectively due to which it has become ungovernable. Much of today's public opposition to the war centers on the widespread fear that whatever the military outcome, there is no Afghan political end state that is both acceptable and achievable at a reasonable cost.

...Gabriel Gonzalez English 101 Chris Hedges article and John Lewis’s video are very similar in a way. When John Lewis was in the 1960’s was arrested more than 40 times and almost beaten to death because of the voting rights. Chris Hedges mostly talks about how the government and the corporations deny civil liberties for people and how they are treated. Both of these interested me because it does talk about the same topic, because John Lewis is all for voting rights and walked with Martin Luther King Jr in this path. Both of these people have statements that are somewhat related to each other. I see connections between them but in the past. For example the racism between people black and whites and how blacks were stripped of their rights and couldn’t go to the same bathroom or drinking fountains. Related to my life well it does affect me as a citizen because it is talking about my civil liberties and how I can live my life. They both bring a point where you have to be fair and have your own rights. In my community well, I don’t live in a neighborhood so it would be different for me and I wouldn’t be able know how this could relate to me. I believe they both took this path because they have found what is wrong with government/corporations, and they have to stand up and fight for their rights. Chris hedges took it to the point where you want to have your civil rights and see that the government/corporations are doing things wrong, and John Lewis states that the vote is the...

...Play Review 1 The name of the play was Super Happy Funtime Burlesque. The author is the Super Happy Funtime Burlesque Comedy Troupe, and the theatre it was produced at the Croswell Opera house in Adrian Michigan. The play took place February 25, 2012. The Croswell Opera House theatre is a proscenium stage. Everybody in the audience was facing the same way. The stage also had a red curtain which was used to demonstrate the end of the show when the curtains were closed. The plot of the story was set in the year 30,000 when the world was taken over by an evil dictator. The dictator imprisoned all people that sinned. The sinners that were imprisoned were put into another dimension. The remaining people started a rebellion against the dictator and eventually succeeded by killing him and his minions. The theme of the play was tragedy of losses and the war among different factions and how each faction involved in that war is affected. The set was filled with instruments and props that were used to help the audience imagine where the scene was taking place. The set was not successfully implemented due to the use of the imagination it was hard to imagine where the scene was taking place. If there was a set they could roll onto the stage it would have been successfully done. The costumes were made to look futuristic with the costumes filled with glitter. In addition, in some scenes the concept was set in the past in which the costumes were made out of straw to convey a time in which...
