...always be prevalent around the world in some way or another. In the short stories, a life of hope mixed with terror is a constant part of these people’s daily lives. Katya is one of the women portrayed in the short story under article four. In this story she is held a slave to the underground sex trafficking world. She was promised a waitressing job in the Balkans but instead was put to use in ways she never thought would happen to her. After Katya realized she wasn’t going to be a waitress she tried to leave, “So she decided she wanted to run back to mummy” (pg. 37 Lewycka). The owner wasn’t about to let her go after having spent good money on her. The owner of the whorehouse had Branko, the owners nephew beat her and eventually fractured some of her ribs and broke her foot. The owner seemed fine with this mistreatment of Katya but could not condone the other more horrendous treatment of her. “The bruises in her mouth and cigarette burns on her cunt I can’t condone” (pg. 38 Lewycka) The owner continually says that he should “let her go” but that she had regulars and that they were important local figures such as politicians and judges. She had later been used and abused so much that her vagina had torn from intercourse. Instead of letting her go they call in “Doktor Sex” who was one of the regulars. Katya was so horrified by everything that had happened to her but the one thing that kept...

...Introduction Many studies although differ from one another indicates that one of the factors that prevents the safety and acquisition of full potential of a student is school violence. School violence is the name given to the violence occurring in school that includes issues like bullying, gangs, violence between the school children and physical harm by school students to the teachers and staffs. One of the causes of school violence in the Philippines is the Filipino’s value of “pakikisama” which occur in school environment when a student in the act being united with their peers is pressured to do the same violent behavior as their peers that causes violence against their other classmates. It starts with “pakikisalamuha” or act of mixing in which they acquire the same violent trait their peers possesses, then “pakikilahok” or act of joining in which they manifest the same violent actions that their friends do such as bullying others then “pakikibagay” or act of conformity with their peers in which they acquire the negative behavior of their friends. Bullying is one of the major causes for violence in school. With the help of power, students go off their limits to seek fun. This 5 minutes fun can be dangerous if done in wrong sense. Before this so called New Millennium and Computer Age came, school was considered to be safe but due to this school violence they no longer remain a safe place. Though the cases of violence are quite rare but still a check is required. It is a world...

...Rus Wane Equipment Case Study Joint Venture In Russia Michael G Rutkowski Upper Iowa University Abstract Wane Machines Inc. engages in the manufacturing, installation, and maintenance of large scale heating and cooling equipment for office and apartment buildings. In February 1990 a joint venture was formed called Rus Wane Equipment with NLZ, a medium sized factory outside Moscow, that manufactured similar equipment, but of much lower quality. This case shows the difficulties that can arise if a company does not follow the organizational structure, management systems, and the human resources policies of the company. And how changing government legislation in a rapidly changing business environment like Russia, can have serious financial impacts and decline the advantages of a joint venture. This case shows the situations and difficult problems that can arise from a joint venture between Wane Machines, Inc and NLZ the Soviet partner company. Wayne Machines started in New York City and specializes in manufacturing, installing, and maintaining large scale heating and cooling equipment. The corporation is divided into four divisions that unite 50 companies in 160 countries. After exploring markets in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union a Soviet-Belgian joint venture was formed in February 1990, called Rus Wane Equipment. Rus Wane established another joint venture with a St. Petersburg partner, to install and service its products in Russia. The market potential in the...

...The Human Toy In our world today, we see and hear about an abundance of crime and human dysfunction. We see cases of illegal trade of weapons and drugs. Yes, this causes distress throughout the county and our world, but these are just “things.” Beyond the drugs and weapons, there is an even worse kind of illegal trade. Humans. Besides the illegal trade of weapons and drugs, human trafficking is the third largest illegal money-maker (Farr 2). Human trafficking is the purchase, sale, recruitment, harboring, transportation, transfer, or receipt of a person for the purpose of commercial sex (Gerdes 19). This being the world’s third largest illegal industry, it is rarely heard of and expressed. Human Trafficking is an enormous global problem. Of the estimated four million people who are trafficked around the world each year, over one million are trafficked into the sex industry. The volume keeps increasing. Researchers believe that the “actual” numbers are much higher than these estimates because many instances of trafficking go undetected (Farr 3). Researchers have concluded that sex trafficking is one of the most, if not the most, rapidly growing form of human trafficking (Farr 5). This industry is expanding at an ever accelerating rate, operating in marketplaces where supply and demand are high and risks to the traffickers are low, making it a highly profitable and enduring business (Farr 3). , The fastest-growing source region is the former Soviet...

...Katya Hughes Earth Science April, 9, 2014 Extreme Weather Event Essay On this day November 8, 2013 a hurricane called the Typhoon Haiyan hit. This hurricane hit the Southeast Asia, particularly the Philippines. This hurricane was one of the most powerful Typhoons ever. This hurricane also put 12 million people at risk, killing 6,268 people. It also destroyed homes, trees were knocked down, and people were separated from their families. Haiyan is also the strongest storm recorded at landfall, and unofficially the strongest typhoon ever recorded in terms of wind speed. This hurricane is very dangerous and is nothing to play with. A hurricane forms when two blocks of the earth suddenly slip past one another. The surface where they slip is called the fault or fault plane. The location below the earth’s surface where the earthquake starts is called the hypocenter, and the location directly above it on the surface of the earth is called the epicenter. There is also something called foreshock this happens after a large earthquake occurs then smaller earthquakes occur in the same place. Earthquakes tend to happen along the edge of the oceanic and continental plates. Haiyan, known in the Philippines as Super Typhoon Yolanda, had estimated maximum sustained winds of 195 mph with gusts above 220 mph. first it started to affect the island nation. Next they expected that it would cross the Central Philippines and then re-emerge over open water, before...

...Date: March 14, 2015 Subject: ACL versus IDEA When comparing ACL and IDEA it was hard to choose which was clearly better because they perform such similar tasks. While we think both would be effective at identifying fraud there were a few reasons why we decided that IDEA was the better software. First, ACL simply was not designed as well as IDEA in our eyes. The team member who was assigned to the ACL tutorial had to re-install the program multiple times to “fix” simple errors that should have never arose to begin with. To add to that, it was not very user friendly in general which made it difficult to navigate and look at. ACL was, however, easy to import into Excel due to its inherent similarities with it. On the other hand, the team member who worked with IDEA found the software extremely easy to learn, use and remember and did not run into any problems due to design flaws. It was very easy to import and export from Excel with very simple and easy applications. There was a way to manipulate the data whichever way needed and by the end of the tutorial the team member felt that they were very knowledgeable on the software and felt confident in using it. Although more expensive, we feel it is much more effective and an overall better program. IDEA Tutorial 1.

Since 2010, there has been a bipartisan agreement for constitutional recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. The Gillard government made an agreement with the Greens and established an Expert Panel on Constitutional Recognition to consider the question most likely to succeed to referendum time. Due to the expert panel, Labour passed an Act of Recognition which recognised commitment to constitutional recognition, the unique place of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders and public education campaign.

Bunson swam around in circles. “Why are we still here?” Bunson whelped. Plop. A hand grabbed Scales by the tail and yanked him out of the water. “Scales!” Bunson said. Scuba and Gear immediately started swimming around in circles. “What are you guys doing?” Bunson screamed. “We have to save Scales!” “It’s too late!” said Scuba. Plop, plop. “Why is it too late?” Bunson whelped. No reply came. He looked around, only to find himself in the open, deep waters of the ocean.

Copyright © 2005 by Pearson Education, Inc. Learner Diversity Differences in Today’s Students T eachers begin their careers expecting to find classrooms like the ones they experienced when they were students. In some ways classrooms are the same. Students go to school to learn, but they also want to have fun and be with their friends. They expect to work but often need encouragement from their teachers. They’re typical kids. Classrooms are changing, however; the population of our schools is becoming increasingly diverse. Students come from different cultures and speak many different languages at home; they possess a range of abilities and talents; and issues involving differences between boys and girls are receiving increased attention. In this chapter we examine this diversity as we try to answer the following questions: ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ What is cultural diversity, and how does it influence student learning?
