...If you are looking for a great vacation spot to have a lot of fun in, then you may want to pack your bags and take a trip to my hometown of Atlanta, Georgia. Atlanta is a great vacation spot for those that enjoy attractions, outdoor adventures, and fine dining. The reason that most tourists visit Atlanta is because of the many attractions it has to offer. Although there are many attractions in Atlanta to choose from, one of my personal favorites is the Georgia Aquarium. The Georgia Aquarium is a very entertaining, intriguing, and exciting place and is definitely a wonderful, educational experience for all ages. The Georgia Aquarium has more animals than any other aquarium, in more than ten million gallons of water! The Georgia Aquarium also tells a global story as you walk through a path of more than sixty exhibits of animals from all habitats. Another popular Atlanta attraction is The World of Coca-Cola. The World of Coca-Cola is the only place where you can taste over 60 different Coke products. It also has a museum in it with fun, interactive exhibits. The museum plays a 4-D movie where you can get an inside look at the bottling process but my favorite part of The World of Coca-Cola was the tasting experience. This experience gives you the opportunity to sample over 100 different Coke flavors from around the world. Stone Mountain Park is one of Georgia’s most popular outdoor adventures and features a wide variety of fun activities. The park is located on about 3,000 acres...

...Economics of Olympics ECON1001D – Macroeconomics Yurii Hrabovetsky 2015-12-11 Jason Dean The economics of the Olympics revolve around the prospect of high economic growth within the country post-Olympic years. This is often found to be an utter lie. The majority of the time the host country is promised a great amount of profit but the truth is that they tend to lose a lot of money on it – most of which comes from tax revenues. “During the competition between communities for the right to host a future Olympic Games, politicians and proponents bring forth predictions touting the economic benefits to the region that ultimately wins the right to host the Games” (Philip Porter, 2008, Page 470). Many politicians believe this idea of the economic value of the Olympics. Most of the time it is found that these countries lose a majority of the money. “However, when the Games are over the host communities are often left with substantial debts and, as we demonstrate below, little or no noticeable benefits” (Porter, 2008, Page 470). The predictions that are made and the results of the Olympics are often found to be completely different. This mostly due to the use of the input-output models and the misinterpretation of the short term results without consideration for the long term effects. This report will focus on how the predictions are made, the issues with these predictions, and the effects after the Olympics have ended. One of the models used to predict the results...

...Education Sector Leaders Overview of Research Education plays a key role in helping students prepare for their future. Leaders who reflect students’ cultural backgrounds are necessary to project a positive image of visible minorities to students from an early age, even before they enter the workforce. Diverse leadership in the education sector has both a symbolic and practical importance. Diversity among teachers and academic leaders promotes education policies and teaching practices that promote a civic culture inclusive of diversity (Butler, 2000). According to Lumby et al. (2007), “a powerful commitment to equality and diversity is viewed by many as integral to progressing further education’s strategic mission. The sector has long been committed to such values, historically focused on an inclusive approach to education and training.” In higher education, in particular, it is essential to developing critical thinking. “The incorporation of diversity into pedagogical practices in higher education changes societal mindsets and challenges the structural arrangement of persons in society” (Campbell, 2000). It has been a high priority in Ontario for more than a decade (Ontario Ministry of Education, 2008). Research shows that: • Diverse leadership plays an important symbolic role in shaping the aspirations of young people (Blau & Stearns, 2003). Failure to provide positive role models can lead to social exclusion, which carries with it very high social and economic costs (Ryan et...

The Catholic faith remains important to the university. “Did you know that every week there are more than 40 Sunday Masses and 100 daily Masses celebrated at Notre Dame?” (Faith at Notre Dame). The campus also has a very famous location called The Grotto, and almost everyone would recognize Notre Dame’s “Touchdown Jesus”. Originally only males were allowed to enroll and the first degree was awarded in 1849. In 2017, Notre Dame was ranked as the 15th best university in the country.

It will also discuss what the organizations views are and the types of crimes they are associated with.

...I have chosen to do my paper on the Army of God. This domestic terrorist group is against abortion. They are a US based Christian fundamentalist group. The Army of God encourages the use of brutality and violence against abortion clinics and homosexual groups of people. They choose to be a domestic terrorist group because they are against abortion and homosexuality. They are a highly into the Christian values and critical towards the government for not upholding or observing the Christian values. This group believes that abortion is murder and if you look up the Ten Commandments, number 6 states that you shall not murder. This terrorist group targets abortion clinics and gay or lesbian gathering places. Eric Robert Rudolph Eric Rudolph used the name Army of God in one of his bombings and police charged that he was probably persuaded by the group’s extreme right Christian identity. On July 29, 1988 Eric Rudolph admits to placing a bomb in an abortion clinic in Birmingham, Alabama. During this incident one security guard was killed and one staff member was injured. As quoted by Rudolph “I did not target them for who they were - but for what they did” (RUDOLPH, 2012). Rudolph believes that abortion is murder and also believes that deadly force is justified to stop abortion. Eric Rudolph was sentenced on July 18, 2005. He received life in prison without the possibility of parole. Rudolph pleaded guilty to attacks in Georgia and Atlanta to avoid the death penalty. This included...

...Know Your People Brandon Andrews COM340 Instructor Oguntolu Week 5 Proposal June 17, 2013 Know Your People Overview Technology has overtaken our lives and we have become dependent on computers to complete everyday task. Even the process of completing a degree program from a major university has migrated to the online spectrum. Ashford University is one of the many institutions that are offering students degree plans online but in order to remain successful it must provide the student with more support, reliability and maintain more consistency for students. Formally known as St. Clare College, Ashford University was founded in 1918 as a junior college in Clinton, IA. In 2005, the school was purchased by Bridgepoint Education and the name was changed to Ashford University. The school intends to foster learning on all levels through technology. Although they do a good job of fostering learning, there are a few shortcomings that are being noted by students in all career fields. Statement of Problem The communication seems to break down between students and advisors over time. Upon initial enrollment the student is assigned three important contacts that play an important role in the initial success of the student. The enrollment, financial, and academic advisors do a good job of initially keeping in contact with student. Once the student begins to get in the flow of his/her schedule, the advisors seem to become less and less involved in the students...

...Personal Responsibility Jermaine Warner GEN/200 February 26, 2013 Janet Madden Personal Responsibility There is no success in life without personal responsibility. Success can be achieved only when one realizes that it requires some form of responsibility whether it is time management, prioritizing, or simply paying attention. The amount of success have is measured by the ability to be responsible for your own actions. Personal responsibility knows no class. Whether you are poor or rich, personal responsibility has a role in your life. In this essay I will identify with personal responsibility and the effect will have on my academic progress. My initial responsibility is to never repeat the cycle in which I was raised. I grew up in a single parent household with two brothers and four sisters. Life was very difficult growing up. With no father figure in my life, I was never shown the way to pursue success. I just gathered my memories of all the hardships from my adolescence and vowed to never repeat the cycle. My family was evicted from our home several times with no remorse. As a child I never understood why this was happening, as I grew older I realized my mother did not make enough money to pay the monthly bills on time. I am a strong believer that no matter how difficult the journey to adulthood was, there is no excuse to repeat failures you have lived through once before. Personal responsibility was introduced to me at a young age. I moved away...

...Introduction The Ministry of Education of Bhutan takes charge in providing children with general education from the pre-primary level to Class 12 through the primary education. It is also responsible for training teachers and for the developing the curriculum and teaching-learning materials used in the classrooms. Primary education is provided free for six years under the goal of universal access to this level of education. Primary schools are inexpensive for parents but some of them cannot send their children to schools because of financial difficulties. To address this problem, the government has established the Bhutan Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper to improve access to and quality of primary education. Since the introduction of planned development in the early 1960s, the education system in Bhutan has grown from a mere 400 students in 11 schools to over 160,000 students in over 550 schools around the country. Education today is playing pivotal role not only in meeting country’s human resource needs but also improves the quality of life, which ultimately contribute to the achievement of GNH. Today, we have realized that the success of the country goes through the education system. Towards this, the education sector in Bhutan aspires to provide an education to every single citizen, such that they become the natural resource of the country, not just in terms of helping to plan and implement the further development of the country, but also by acting as a saleable resource...

...When I look at this picture of myself, I realize how much I've grown and changed, not only physically, but also mentally as a person in the last couple of years. Less than one month after this photograph was taken, I arrived at the [school' s name] in [school' s location] without any idea of what to expect. I entered my second year of high school as an innocent thirteen year-old who was about a thousand miles from home and was a new member of not the sophomore, but “lower-middle” class. Around me in this picture are the things which were most important in my life at the time: studying different types of cars and planes, following Michael Jordan' s latest move, and seeing the latest blockbuster show like “Phantom of the Opera” or “Jurassic Park”. On my t-shirt is the rest of my life- tennis. Midway through my senior year at the special [school' s name] school, the focuses in my life have changed dramatically. If there is one common occurrence which takes place for every single person in the diverse student body at [school' s name], it is that we all grow up much faster for having lived there. I do not know whether this speeding up of the maturing process is generally good or bad, but I definitely have benefited. The classroom has become a whole different realm for me. Before, the teachers and students alike preached the importance of learning, but it was implicitly obvious that the most important concern was grades. At [school' s name] teachers genuinely believe that learning...

...Maria A. Tisdale Scholarship Essay CHCI February 18, 2011 Computer Science in Information Technology At one point in my life I didn’t know anything about college life. Everyone would say what college did you attend followed by what’s your major and I would answer never been to college. Now, watching my kids get older and heading off to college hopefully I say what I am going to do with myself. I woke up one morning and decided that I wanted better for myself and I can’t keep instilling in my kids to go to college if I never tried. I always loved to work on computers. My friends call me all the time and ask me to help them clean their computers out and install software so they can get rid of their viruses. When I decided to go to college last year in August I picked my major in Computer Science Information Technology. As a college student I have learn to explore life with great expectations and I am looking forward to the opportunities that I can offer. Attending Thomas Nelson I have come across students that are not computer savvy but also can’t afford to pay for classes to teach them how to use a computer. Students come to me and ask for my help because I place ads around the school, I send emails and I let my classmates know that if anybody needs help with learning how to use the computer they can call me. I don’t charge a fee but I do take donations in any form that you can afford. Sometimes what I do is if you need help with a computer and you are...

...We Should Not All Be Uniform! Every day, millions of teenagers spend between six and eight hours in America’s high schools. They sit at their desks, listen to their teachers, and do their school work. In some of these schools, however, they are also forced to dress in school uniforms. This restriction is really too much. In America’s high schools, students should not be forced to wear uniforms because they take away a student’s sense of individuality, they do not allow for self-expression, and they absolutely do not save families any money. First of all, students should not wear uniforms because they take away a student’s sense of individuality. Imagine this: 30 students sit in desks in a small classroom. Each student wears tan pants and a white shirt. They sit with their school books and papers in front of them. They all look exactly alike. Does this seem right? Of course not! We are all individuals! We are unique in many different ways. Why try to make all students look alike? This idea is supported by testimony from a 17-year-old student forced to wear uniforms. Her story was reported in National Catholic Reporter of March, 2002, and she said, "Everyone hated it. It completely killed any sense of individuality any one of us had. Everyone looked the same. It was sad to 27 Duddles 2 watch" (3). Clearly, students with experience in wearing uniforms feel that they take away a sense of individuality. Next, school uniforms do not allow students to express themselves...
