...“Only I can change my life. No one can do it for me” –Carol Burnett. The twentieth century dramatist Ama Ata Aidoo perfectly fits this quote; as she really did change the society and people’ mentalities through her writings. Her voice depicts concerns over many social and political issues at the Ghanaian society. She stated repeated concerns for the dilemma of womanhood in Ghanaian culture at her time; she endowed the female characters in her literary works with strong wills and distinct personalities. Although she wants to prove her identity in her writings, she as well helps to expose the exploitation and disenfranchisement of women from the essence of their own identities. In “Something to Talk About on the Way to the Funeral” Aido describes women who bravely survive despite of the obstacles in the neo-colonial Ghanaian society. For the majority of her female characters independence has brought no relief and has in fact only increased the difficulties they face; this is exactly what happened to Aunt Araba or “the good woman who does not rot” She was given a part of her independence and was sent to live with a relative, as a consequence; she got pregnant without being married. Survival is the driving and divine force thorough out the story as even after she got pregnant without marriage and in the face of this tremendous troubles, Araba did not surrender nor even weakened. Instead she even got stronger “She returned home to her mother, she was looking like a ram from the...

...institution. It is a tool to control the access to any resources or services available for use to create a general security for that institution. In an educational institution, a clearance signifies that a student is cleared from all his requirements and liabilities so that he can proceed to the next step on any transaction or process that he or she is undertaking. Student clearance is often used during the end of a school year or semester to verify if the student has paid all his or her fines and submitted all requirements. This prevents problems that might occur due to the unsettled school requirements. The AMA Computer College General Santos City is a small privately owned school that offers four courses in computer and information technology. It is a branch of the AMA Computer University and is located in J.P Laurel Avenue, General Santos City. Being a member of the AMA Education System, the school uses the same system as that of the main campuses. Although having a computerized system, it does not have an integrated student clearance system. The school currently uses a manual clearance system which involves a clearance form printed on paper that is then signed by authorized school personnel. Students are required to approach each personnel to check for any requirements not cleared. A big part of it comes from the Student Council and some departments of the school that have none of their records linked to the system of the School Registrar. This makes for a faulty system since...

...Final Reflection Paper By Jessica Krick The first week I learned that children's books aren't as a genre an indication of readership. I enrolled in this class because it is required. According to my guidance counselor, it is to 'diversify my learning'. Now that I have finished the course, I couldn't agree more! I started this class thinking that children's books are simple and sort of primal. When in fact, there are a lot of literary elements involved; and the illustrations tell the story as much as the text. It has taught me to look deeper into everything, that nothing is simple. I plan on using this newly acquired skill in the future. Also during this week, I got to analyze and enjoy "The Giving Tree". It is such an exemplar picturebook, that I just had to buy it (along with "Wild Thing") to read again and again with my nephew. I typically favor the moral lessons provided in these books. With that said, I honestly didn't like the book "Millions of Cats", I guess it just rubbed me the wrong way, plus I'm a dog person! Being an artist myself, my favorite part of this class was the multitude of illustrations involved in my class work. Home work became fun. You always seem to provide extra handouts just to further our knowledge, like the 'handout of illustration styles' and I read quite a bit of the Grim folktales. Folklore revisits popular childhood folktales or how I have always known it as 'fairytales'. I found it interesting that they have survived centuries by word...

...effective because companies are able to maximize the effectiveness of their advertisements, aiming at consumers that have the highest probability of making the purchase due to personal preference. This tactic is especially useful for online book stores, as readers can be given suggestions on books to buy based off of information on previous purchases. For example, if customer A enjoys reading mystery novels and has purchased several in the past, an online book store can suggest other books in the mystery genre that the reader has not yet purchased. Thanks to the information stored on customer A’s previous purchases, the company can see what kind of novels have the highest probability of being bought by customer A, namely mystery novels. An online bookstore usually accomplishes this by having a “Recommended for you” tab at the bottom or top of its web page. This is effective advertising that increases sales, because had customer A not been informed of an appealing product, he/she may not have made that extra purchase, and would have concluded shopping for that time. In its essence, behavioral targeting collects information on an individual's browsing behavior on-line to help choose which advertisements to show that individual. When a company knows what books a customer has bought in the past, it makes it easier to provide them with more relevant novels; before long, each customers “Recommended for you” tab will be tailored to their individual taste, making their shopping experience much...

...28, 2012 Is Bookstores History? Well everyone knows what a book is and how much information you can get from a book but, are bookstores becoming a thing of the past as technology advances and we have e-readers and online stores like Amazon who sell book at bargain prices (Bosker, 2010). E-readers are now replacing bookstores so you no longer have to travel to a bookstore to wait for your books. E-reader might cost a hefty penny at first but it saves space and you can have multiply books at once without worrying about having a bookstore in your house. So the question is are bookstores becoming obsolete and if so what countries would benefits from having bookstores instead of e-readers. The current target market and demographics for bookstores would be readers of all ages and sex as they use bookstore to purchase all types of books; for their personal enjoyment or research. Bookstores are declining in popularity because technology is making it possible for consumers to read book on their e-readers and laptop computers. While technology is taking over this generation people are becoming more concise of the environment and being green. When readers are into green products they realize e-readers are more useful then book and going to a book store. Also when you have places like Starbucks and Panera Bread that give you that bookstore feel you no longer are in need of a bookstore. Readers are able to purchases books online, which save them, time and money and not having to worry...

Books are a mainstay at the Alberta stores. "Books make great gifts," said Pam Reber, owner of Wisemen's Way. "Bibles are our No. 1 seller." When a bible is chosen as gift, a natural accompaniment would be a bible case, something that's available in a variety of designs. In addition to books, all the stores sell Christian music and videos. However, not all take the same approach with Scott's Parable and Wisemen's Way reducing their stock. A reason for carrying fewer music CDs is that listeners can now download their favourite tunes rather than buying albums. But Monds takes a...

...sectors: buyers of professional and academic books, and school librarians and head teachers. There are number of suppliers to the retail sectors: large high street chains including WH Smith, Book Clubs, independents booksellers, campus booksellers, supermarkets and leisure outlets, confectioners, tobacconists and newsagent (CTNs) and school and library suppliers (Key Note Ltd 2005). WH Smith and the specialist chains such as Waterstone’s, Blackwell, Ohakais, Books Etc and Borders account for around 45% of the consumer market. The remaining 35% is shared by independent bookshops, direct selling and book clubs, plus the small retail outlets of leisure organisations and businesses such as restaurants, museums and garden centres (Key Note Ltd 2005). The academic and professional market is largely supplied by campus bookshops and by the specialist chains. Schools are mainly supplied by specialist school and library suppliers, but booksellers are progressively taking a large share of this sector. The ownership of some of the large chains has changed in recent times. Waterstone’s is no longer part of WH Smith and is now part of HMV Media Group, while Books Etc is now owned by Border (UK) Ltd, which is the UK subsidiary of Borders Group incorporated in the U.S. The internet is making an impact on this market – especially in the academic and professional sector. How far it is eating into the sales of high street book shops is not clear. Some booksellers believe...

...Essay – A book of special significance The book that has a special significance to me is “XML Bible” 2nd Edition by Elliotte Rusty Harold Deciding on the right book to study is mostly a matter of choice. Mili writes, It is always necessary to decide what books one should read. For selecting the best books we generally consult our teachers, librarians and our well read friends...We should read only the books that enlighten our mind and suggest accurate and authentic knowledge to the readers...(Book). I read the above book when I was in two minds whether to take classroom training in XML. I am glad now that I decided to study this book fully before anything else. The XML Bible is concise yet complete, elaborate yet accurate. It is multi-functional and works as a guide, tutorial, manual and reference book. The book is significant because it is both an invaluable resource and provides the much needed direction which is very much essential while trying to understand technology. I studied this book with the task of assimilating and applying the new documentation standard – XML. The book is credit- worthy because it explains XML and its applications authentically as well as informally steering the reader towards seeing XML everywhere in the digital world. “XML stands for Extensible Markup Language...XML is a meta-markup language” (Harold 3). “XML describes structure and semantics, not formatting” (Harold 5). Further, the author states that it is easy to...

The phases in the organizational change model are strategic responsiveness, behavioral change, employee participation and resistance to change. Also included, are the three faces of change and trigger events and change. I will describe two portions of the change process that were not completed or implemented at the Concord Bookshop, which caused failure of the change process. While attempting to implement change, the change leader must first assess the need for change. There was an increase in the amount of competition with...
