What JMJ is, what we do, promote that in the community to help secure volunterrs, fundin,g, promote awareness. Do a lot of strategic planning on how we're gonna grow. Trying to figure out what addicitonal programs we can offer. And then go out and do the speaking and build awareness. Various churches, youth ministries, and drink beer too. Whatever we need to do, oh I'll do it. I'm also an event planner. It's wonderful. Up until july, I was an engineer. Doing it for 11 years. Involved in JMJ, I loved everything about it, I was just busy. I had 3 little kids and work and all kinds of stuff going on. Not as involved as wanted to be. In April, our previous exec director wanted to retire. Looked at husband and said wanted to do this. Very fufilling. Transition into role. Completely new to me. So much fun and so awesome to be able to effect people's lives everyday. See the joy and gratefullness. Beautiful experence. Do you like your job? What do you like about it? I think the biggest thing is to be able to affect people in a positive way. As an enginner, I got to talk to oeopel and develop code, it was kind of boring and wasn't fulfilling. It was comfortable, I appreciated being paid very well. That was the hesitation. Once I made the jump, I realized that to be able to interact with people...

...been the type to own up to them right off the bat. I find it awkward and sometimes too far off, raising a problem when ignoring it was all you probably needed. The thing is I still think about it. You’re not a idiot; it’s pretty obvious. I think you’re amazing and that won’t change no matter what this manages to morph itself into. And in my opinion, it doesn’t need to. But I think about the song, I think about the poems, I think about the unfinished story rotting because I’ve lost what motivated me to complete it. A story is a what-could-have-been right? When we daydream about our futures, daydream about bravery and acceptance and victory, it’s just a fantasy story of our lives. Sometimes I just have to write it down to make sure I don’t lose it. Don’t forget it. Understand that once upon a time, I was such and such. People say in the future, they’ll look back and laugh. I won’t laugh; I’ll understand. Perhaps not why, why you, why this time, why so silent and why so demanding but I’ll understand the circumstances. I’ll understand what drove me and what tore it apart. My entire life’s story out there for everyone to see. Sometimes I feel so exposed. It’s weaving together assumptions that are sometimes so out there, right in the open. But that’s okay, because even things I write a month ago, I no longer understand. I don’t know whom I was so pissed off at and what made me write a passage on loneliness. I don’t need to. It’s all in the moment. &...

...I am 47 years old and I live in Texarkana, Texas. I moved to Texarkana about twelve years ago to get away from the craziness in Houston, Texas. So, I decided to move to the country where I now live with my boyfriend, two, toypoodles, a ferret and my boyfriends parents. We all live in the country on 5 ½ acres. Our home is 2 homes in one which are both separated, the parents live on one side and we live on the other. Once you have been use to living the city life and move to the country it can be quite an adjustment because there is not much to do in Texarkana, Tx compared to Houston. For instance, simple things for me like driving to town seem like such a chore. Since moving to the country instead of going shopping for dinner no more then a mile from home I now have to drive over fifteen miles to town. Sometimes i feel like I have wasted my entire day. The up side of living in the country is that it is quite peaceful and you do not have your neighbor in your back yard. I have four children 2 girls and 2 boys. My girls are Diana my oldest 29 who has two children My grandchildren Makelia 7 and Baby Juan 4. My daughter Mary is 28 and she has 3 boys Vince 8, Louie, 3, and Baby Luke who is 1 ½ . Then, my boys are Brigido 26 (he is my trouble child) who gave me my 2 beautiful grandchildren Isaiah 8, and Destiney who is 4. My baby is Cameron he is 22 years old and in college in Austin, Tx. I am not working at this point because I have been working on obtaining custody of my 2...

His profession requires a large amount of integrity, nobility and honesty because many local congressmen instead of helping the city they have been caught stealing money from projects for the city. “Sometimes I feel really homesick” (Casal). His job makes him travel a lot to Hermosillo, the capital of Sonora. Hermosillo is 450 kilometers away from Nogales, it’s a 4 hour drive, and he stays in Hermosillo for days or even a whole week. These trips distance Moises from his family. He have miss many important family events like his sons college graduation , wedding anniversaries, and even he has been alone in a hotel room during his birthday, and I know all this because Moises Casal is no stranger to me, he is my uncle. “Helping people has been one of my truth passions” (Casal). Moises always loved helping people since he was a little kid and that love for helping made him wanted to be a doctor. When he was 26 years old he graduated from medical school and became a otorhinolaryngologist and his life got better when he married my aunt Teresita. “The happiest day of my life was when I married my beautiful wife” (Casal). “As a doctor I helped a lot of people, but I felt like could do more for my community” (Casal). Moises worked in the medical field for 20 years, and he noticed...

...“TAKING CARE OF AN EGG” “Effort is the best way of showing how much you love, care, and value someone even without commitment”. For the past few weeks taking care of this “special thing” has been one of my priorities. Maybe it’s not the best among the rest, but I know that I give my 100% effort in taking care of my EGG. During the day when our Prof. told us that we have to bring an egg for the next meeting, the first thing that popped in my mind is that we are going to cook some egg recipe. I know it sounds funny to think that cooking is not even our subject curriculum. The following day she ask us if we bought the eggs that she told us to, and when we told her yes she then signed each egg. After that, Mrs. Danila announced that we’re going to take care of the egg for the whole midterm thus 50% of our grade depends on how good we handle those egg. Going home with the egg in my bag makes me feel so anxious, I was like a paranoid girl in love whose afraid, to break and lost her most precious guy. Well I guess the reason why I’m afraid to break my egg is that I don’t want to fail, coz’ failing for me is like losing a big chance. That day, when I got home the first thing I did was look for something cute where I can place my egg that I can consider safe and comfy. I ended up buying a cute dark blue box at the National Bookstore, but I find its color a bit boring so I decided to buy a violet colored paper to wrap it up. And to add more color to my work I put a white cotton...

...an experiment which involved putting an egg without a shell in three different substances. We put the first egg in water, the second egg in corn syrup and the third egg we wrapped in saran wrap and placed in an empty cup. We used an egg in place of a cell because they both have similar qualities, such as the cytoplasm being the inside of the egg and the nucleus being the yolk. Diffusion is the movement of cells from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane. Diffusion and osmosis are important because they help with cellular respiration, which is how we stay alive. We conducted this experiment...

...beetle egg-hatching via refrigeration Abstract A demonstration of the scientific method is presented. Samples of flour are stored at various temperatures to determine if cold storage inhibits flour beetle egg hatching. Introduction I received a bread machine one year for Christmas. I never seem to have yeast, flour, eggs, and extra add-ins like caraway seeds or whole-wheat flour all fresh and available in my kitchen at the same time. One day while at the grocery store, I stopped and bought some baker’s yeast so I could make some bread. I knew I had flour, eggs, garlic and rosemary at home; so with the purchase of yeast I would be all set to make some foccacia bread – my favorite. I got home and proofed the yeast, started the bread by mixing an egg, oil and water, and then measured out the flour. As I poured the flour into the machine I noticed some dark specks. When I took a closer look, I found that the specks were actually bugs! Gross! Where the heck did those bugs come from? Am I such a lousy housekeeper that my cabinets are filled with bugs? It turns out that the bugs in the flour are flour beetles. The eggs may already be in the flour when you buy it at the store (Lewis et al., 1997). If you leave the flour at room temperature for a long enough time, with enough warmth and humidity, the eggs will hatch. If all flour has flour beetle eggs in it, then perhaps there is a way to keep those microscopic eggs from...

... Between the two articles that I read I was more inspired by the article "Advice That Adds Insight to Injury". Although the other article was also good it seemed to be more driven towards promoting the program rather than the other article which was more based on advice. If I could enter into a program right now I would enter into the Porwer Engineering Course at the college although a vast majority of my experience is within plumbing. Plumbing is not the trade I would like to do the rest of my life. I am far more interested in Power Engineering for many reasons, I've always been more interested in fields related to electricians and Power Engineering is one of the highest positions in that field of work that you can go into. Rather than just dealing for residential electricity a Power Engineer deals with generators in hospitals, mines, ect.. I'm also more interested in Power Engineering because of the amount of money I can make and also the fact the there's not as much physical labour involved, which means I can do it for a long time with a lower risk of injuring myself.

...Daisy. Nick and Gatsby are from West Egg, while Daisy is from East Egg. Throughout the novel, Fitzgerald emphasizes places and settings and also depicts the different aspects of the 1920’s lifestyle. The main landscape he focuses on his what he calls the “East Egg” and the “West Egg,” two totally different places that represent entirely different cultures. The East Egg consists of already established wealthy class that has been apart of aristocracy for generations. However, the West Egg represents the newly rich, and the futuristic, less-sophisticated people of the region. While reading this book, I found many associations with both the East Egg and the West Egg. People in East Egg come from families that always had money. They're more snobby, greedy, and abusive than people from West Egg, which are generally less-sophisticated, and more innocent type of people, as they haven't been around by the material possessions, money, and greed their whole lives. The Buchanans, for example, are a family of East Egg, which Tom Buchanan was born of a wealthy family, and the greedy Daisy, who married into this money. They have a very large mansion for a home, and are a somewhat of a stuck up family. East Egg is portrayed as corrupt in the story, and and is mostly moral less. According to F. Scott Fitzgerald, the West Egg is less fashionable with wide lawns and friendly trees. Most of the people that live in the West Egg have morals and ethics to live by, rather...

...In Vitro Fertilization September 15, 2014 Class: MA111 In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is a process of fertilizing an egg with sperm outside the body. It’s a major infertility treatment when other methods of assisted reproductive technology have failed. The process of IVF involves monitoring and stimulating a women’s ovulation process, removing an ovum or ova (egg or eggs) from the women’s ovaries, added the sperm to fertilize the egg or eggs. Once the egg has been fertilized it becomes a zygote and will be cultured for 2-6 days, when will be transferred into a women’s uterus with intention of establishing a successful pregnancy. IVF can be used to overcome female and male infertility. According to NICE guidelines IVF is indicated in unexplained infertility for women who have not conceived after 2 years of regular unprotected sexual intercourse. For IVF to be successful it requires a healthy egg, sperm that can fertilize and a uterus that can maintain a pregnancy. With the large cost of IVF it is generally attempted after less expensive treatments have failed. Some couples use donor eggs or sperm to achieve a pregnancy, but some use IVF with a surrogate where another women carried the pregnancy. With IVF there are some risks like ovarian hyperstimulation which is routinely used with IVF. Ovarian hyperstimulation is where the ovaries are stimulated to develop multiple follicles, two common drugs used are Pergonal and Repronex which are injectable gonadotropins...

...How do I handle adversity? Handling adversity can be hard for all of us. Some can handle it extraordinarily well, and others crumble from the pressure. How I try to handle adversity can be described as being a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean after being put in boiling water. The carrot will become soft and therefore have humanity, the egg will become hard and be tough, and the coffee bean will use the water to make delicious coffee which it will benefit from. Let’s start off with how I relate with the carrot. Before being put in the pot, the carrot is hard and difficult to deal with. However, after being put into the boiling water, it becomes soft and almost mush. There are bad elements but also good elements to this as well. It is good in a sense easier to find humanity in something when it is soft. However the bad thing is that when being soft also comes with being vulnerable as well. This vulnerability can literally destroy any stability a person has in them. I think it is good to be a little soft in adversity, but still have some hardness to myself....

...give them some basic rights. States like Florida, Arizona, and Oregon have passed successful propositions which have hindered safe livestock husbandry. In addition, Colorado has automatically agreed to die out veal crates and gestation crates to avoid having to place the issue on a ballot. On August 9, 2007, animal rights groups go on to propose livestock housing legislation by filing another state petition. This law suit legislation regulating livestock production in California , including the “Treatment of Farm Animals Statute” on the November 2008 general election ballot. Proposition 2 which is includes limits on minimum space requirements for the confinement of veal calves, gestating sows, and laying hens. That is the California proposition2 comes from. Even though,the eggs price increase but consider the chicken they would have a good cote to laying hens.Do you know how much space do they have before the chicken cage size law come out? They just have 116 square inches of space, how do you think? What a horrible things! That's less than a one-foot by one-foot space that a chicken has to live in all its life. I'm not rich, but I want to pay extra for free range because I don't like to eat food from tortured animals if I can avoid it. It also made me care about the eggs’ health, foot by foot space for chicken’s live would like a incubator,thousands and thousands of bacteria and virus are bred there. Imagine under the circumstances, the eggs are really can be ate? The answer is...

...How I Hatched a Chiken Egg in an Incubator Can you remember the last time you were passionate to learn something new? Neither can I. But we have all been passionate to learn at some point in our childhood. To kids the world seems like a magical place, full of mysteries waiting to be discovered. I’m sure all of us can recall some pleasant memories experiencing with science as a child. In this essay I’m going to talk to you about an experiment I did in my childhood with an incubator. It was a joyful experience for me. The first important thing I needed to do in order to hatch chicken eggs was to find an incubator. That was the easy part since I could borrow one from my school. It wasn’t actually an incubator. it was a device that students in 5th grade had to make, and it worked like an incubator with a few differences. The device could only be used to maintain the temperature needed for the experiment. The rest I had to do by hand. It was plugged into electricity 24 hours a day, and it had a lamp inside it to make the area warm and light. Finding the incubator was pretty easy. Using it was a little harder. I had to find the right eggs, if I wanted to hatch them and turn them into chickens eventually. First I had to make sure they weren’t stored for more than 7 days. Old eggs weren’t going to turn into chickens. And I also had to make sure that they were stored in a cool humid area, and were not damaged, and didn’t have any holes or cracks. Size of the eggs was...

...Gollywhopper's Eggs Well now, when old Johnson came to town, I knew there'd be trouble. That Yankee Peddler was a scoundrel if ever I saw one. But I was laid up with my rheumatism when he arrived, so I couldn't do anything about it. My neighbors often came to visit with me, since I was a poor widow-woman. (Metaphorically speaking. I was actually the richest woman in town, since my late husband had made a fortune in shipping.) Mistress Sarah Smith came to see me two days after Peddler Johnson appeared with his wares. She was bubbling over with the news. She had, just that morning, bought two of the very rare Gollywhopper Eggs from Peddler Johnson, for the outrageous price of five dollars a-piece. I was flabbergasted. "What in tarnation is a Gollywhopper?" I demanded irritably, trying to sit up in my chair. My rheumatism gave me a painful stab and I settled back against the cushions. Mistress Smith smiled at me kindly, obviously pitying my ignorance. "A Gollywhopper is a rare sort of eating bird, like a gigantic chicken, found only on a tiny island in the West Indies called TheresOneBornEveryMinute," she explained. "Fortunately, Peddler Johnson saved the life of the chief of the island and was awarded with one full setting of eggs from this priceless bird. Everyone in town is buying eggs as fast as Johnson can sell them. I came to see if you wanted me to buy some for you. Of course, Peddler Johnson could not guarantee that my eggs will hatch out to be a...

...perfect day for an Easter egg hunt, when we stepped outside that Easter morning we were met by the warm glow of the sun and a bird’s song. It was the first nice day of spring. We had just left our house to walk down to the park less than a block away to hide some Easter eggs for my two year old son Carter. The events that followed will make for a memory I won’t soon forget; between trying to make divorced grandparents happy and random drug addicts who don’t deserve parenthood my son still had a great day hunting eggs. We had just arrived at the park and my son was running through the grass chasing our dog Claire. My wife’s mother and her younger brother and sister were waiting for us to come over by the play structure; they had arrived earlier to hide the eggs. We took our time making it over to them frolicking through the grass chasing, growling and barking as Carter and I pursued Claire with Christina and Natalie not far behind. As usual my father was late so we all ran around on the play structure while we waited for him and my sister to show up. I noticed a girl a year or so older than my son also playing alongside us. I asked my wife if she had seen who was with the little girl and she replied “I haven’t seen anyone with her, maybe she belongs to the group of people over there” pointing to a group about two football fields away. I was starting to get annoyed trying to keep my son away from the hidden Easter eggs, twenty minutes had passed since I had called and told my...
