...Escuchando buen Rock como de costumbre y entre una vasta colección de grupos y artistas me encontré con Boston, tremenda banda de los 70’s, su música hoy día es catalogada como Rock Clásico, para su momento este grupo con sus riffs y efectos de sonido interpreto un Rock progresivo y futurístico, nos quedo en el recuerdo con muy buenos Riffs y una batería buena quizá no de las mejores. Hoy día sigue activa con giras y presentaciones El primer LP de Boston en 1976 vendió mas de 17 millones de copias, el sencillo más recordado de este Álbum es More than a feeling , este arreglo según Rollingstone magazine está entre las mejores 500 canciones de todos los tiempos pero el álbum en cuestión no figuro dentro de los 500 mejores álbumes de todos los tiempos, teniendo 3 canciones más igual de memorables que la mencionada anteriormente. Según la misma revista, ACDC con high way to hell que en 1979 vendió 7millones de copias en USA y Queen con a night at the opera (no el mejor álbum a mi parecer) en 1975 que vendió 3 millones de copias en USA si están en la lista, y en ningún caso la banda era su primer disco. Un éxito similar en ventas de Álbumes lo tuvo Whitney Houston en 1985 con son su primer álbum que llevaba su mismo nombre, vendió 18 millones de copias en Usa, pero claro Whitney no era considerada ni siquiera Soft Rock, no sé qué criterio utilizó Rollingstone para no poner este álbum entre los mejores, me imagino que Tom Scholz por ser Ingeniero Mecánico egresado del...

...of Lime and 600 bags of Vinegar, which resource is not completely used up and how much is remaining? d) Discuss: Slack (if any); shadow price, and sensitivity analysis results using the program of your choice. Above problem is a maximization problem as one is trying to maximize the profits by making different bags of chips. It takes salt, flour and herbs to make two different types of chips – Lime and Vinegar. There are constrained amounts of salt, flour and herb and the owner want to maximize his profits. The amount of profit per bag is given as well. The LP problem thus becomes: Maximize Profits from the sale of bags of both lime and vinegar chips Constraints: 1. Salt consumed should not exceed 4,600 2. Flour consumed should not exceed 9,400 3.

...Paret was a Cuban, a proud club fighter who had become welterweight champion because of his unusual ability to take a punch. His style of fighting was to take three punches to the head in order to give back two. At the end of ten rounds, he would still be bouncing, his opponent would have a headache. But in the last two years, over the fifteen-round fights, he had started to take some bad maulings. This fight had its turns. Griffith won most of the early rounds, but Paret knocked Griffith down in the sixth. Griffith had trouble getting up, but made it, came alive and was dominating Paret again before the round was over. Then Paret began to wilt. In the middle of the eighth round, after a clubbing punch had turned his back to Griffith, Paret walked three disgusted steps away, showing his hindquarters. For a champion, he took much too long to turn back around. It was the first hint of weakness Paret had ever shown, and it must have inspired a particular shame, because he fought the rest of the fight as if he were seeking to demonstrate that he could take more punishment than any man alive. In the twelfth, Griffith caught him. Paret got trapped in a corner. Trying to duck away, his left arm and his head became tangled on the wrong side of the top rope. Griffith was in like a cat ready to rip the life out of a huge boxed rat. He hit him eighteen right hands in a row, an act which took perhaps three or four seconds, Griffith making a pent-up whimpering sound all the while he attacked...

...Mum’s Lament Part II I copped him out when he got home, our mike that is. The dirty bugger. Just like his dad and at his age too! Bloody cheek, fancy touching up a complete stranger – in the cinema of all places! It’s dirty. I never thought he’d turn out to be a bastard like him, I mean for fuck sake I wanted something better for him – wanted him to stay pure like. Stupid bloody Doris. I try and get some and look what happens to me, it turns out to be our bleeding son. This wouldn’t happen if I was a bloke. If a bloke has had enough of his wife he just strolls into the nearest bar, tip a couple down his neck and take their pick from the easy gash. But O, how bitter a thing it is to look into happiness through another man's eyes. Nothing goes the way I want it to, behave like I bloke I said, dirty like. I can live without it you know, the sex that is. The kissing, and the touching, especially the touching, I would give almost anything never to be touched by his dirty grubby hands again. He doesn’t talk to me for three days at a time and all of a sudden his horribly belchy breath is in my face and his great big body is on mine. I wouldn’t so much mind if he asked me first. If one day he went, “so how ‘bout a fuck then?”, at least I could put me book down first. I almost always lose me page once a week on a Saturday night. I do miss it though, the kissing that is not the book. I almost did it once, to see if I still could. We were in bed and he was passed out next to me. He was...

...“Never let the fear of failure be an excuse for not trying. Society tells us that to fail is the most terrible thing in the world, but I know it isn’t. Failure is part of what makes us human.” Amber Deckers, Ella Mental and the Good Sense Guide It is universally accepted that from ancient times humanity makes everything possible to comprehend or invent something new and to develop what has already been discovered. To be quite plain it cannot go without mistakes in this case. In spite of all our wishes and intentions, making false steps turns out to be inseparable part of our life. Moreover failure is considered to be one of the greatest man’s fears. There is no need to deny the fact that up-to-date life is sure to lay high claims to every person and to enhance the importance of competition. Seeking after perfection and willing to make some favorable impression one, in contrast, grows weaker before failure. Frankly speaking the very point, not to be forgotten, is that perfection exists only in our imagination but not in real life. Thus understanding of such thing can become the only way to accept one’s own and somebody else’s failure. You can’t but take into account that all greatest discoveries happened mostly by trial and error. Society imposes certain conditions, according to what it can result in the fear of misfortune that leads us, in turn, to more sizable blunder. Right for mistake means often the right for some innovation, research, experiment...

...It was a bizarre night, there appeared to be a freeze in the air. I was walking to my grandmother’s at sundown when all of a sudden some one jumped out, grabbed me, and held my hands forcefully behind my back. Then he whispered “Leave with me, or I’ll turn you in." I stated, “Turn me in for what?” He said that I had committed an offense at the art gallery last night, and that he was going to throw me in jail. “I don’t know what you are speaking about,” I said. Swiftly I felt a chill race down my spine. I turned around and saw two police officers come racing after me. My first instinct was to sprint for the apartment I lived in, but I forgot that tons of police would be there. I had no place to go, no one to run to. At last I walked all the way across town to my buddy Jamie’s house. She let me in and I told her what occurred. I asked her what I had done and she said that I was suspected of stealing a valuable painting from the art gallery. It was all over the news and the police were on a manhunt for me. Jamie gave me something to munch on and let me sleep there for the night. The next day she sent me off because she knew the police would be coming soon to investigate. Later, that same man I had gotten away from the day before found me. I tried to get away but I was unsuccessful. This time he had me for good. The last word I heard from him was when he called some one on the phone and he said, “…Yes, this is John…” After that he turned me in. I went to jail. The food was...

...Unanswered In life, there is a set of questions that causes people to question their purpose in the world. These questions were designed to be simply that; questions. They have no answer and once the answer seems to become apparent, it changes into a defining moment, according to Jim Tilley. These defining moments that were once questions are the things that document our lives and how far we have come. Jim Tilley wrote the poem The Big Questions to talk about and parallel these things with everyday life. “The big questions are big only/ because they have never been answered (line 1/2).” Jim Tilley begins his poem The Big Questions, by posing a philosophical statement in which the audience begins to ponder what these questions might be. A typical big question that people face is what is my purpose here? Before reading the poem, I expected an answer to this question or at least another philosophical statement for afterthought. However, Tilley uses philosophy as well as humor to convey that there is not a concrete answer to these “big questions”. These “big questions” are only circumstantially large and will in time become unimportant. These big questions often have more depth to them than their philosophical nature. They can in turn be used to determine survival instincts and maturity. The example he uses is encountering a grizzly bear in the woods while hiking a trail. In most cases, when someone encounters a bear they have three options. The first and foremost being to run...

...Case Study There were four symptoms in the groupthink that I felt were present in the case study. The first issue was Tom, Susie; Richard had all met before meeting with the other group members. They outlined what parts should be included in the team paper and who would get what section. Mark and Betty decided not to voice their opinions. The group decided that they were ok with the original plan for the assignment. They decided to turn the assignment in without the reference portion. Some specific actions that would exemplify these symptoms would be the original members of the group working together. They didn’t include the new group members. There was one person who basically got the go ahead on everything and that was Tom. The body language was noticeable and it made the new member feel uncomfortable. In the future the group should all meet together not separate and they should read the syllabus. Everyone should know the specific guidelines and rules which should be highlighted. Everyone should agree with their part in the assignment. There should be a meeting set weekly or emails sent and everyone should be updated on the project. Any problems should be addressed and taken care of beforehand. When it is close to time for the project to be turned in there should be a final review. Mark and Betty should have been more proactive by taking a stand on their position in the group. There weren’t taken seriously because they didn’t make it known that they were just as important...

...Decision Making Analysis Discussion Summary Marcus Alexander Team B discussed the decision making that the CEO of Xerox had to perform in the beginning of her tenure in order to get the company to where it is today, stable and competitive. I think that we all agreed that when she first took the position that she had to make some tough decisions by cutting departments which in turn meant cutting jobs which is always going to be a hard thing for any manager to do within any company. In the state that the company was in when the CEO took it over hard decisions had to be made in order to keep the company out of bankruptcy. She closed down the desktop printers division and focused on the commercial printers to give the company a boost in sales and it worked. Fast speed color printers are something needed in almost every company, Xerox just has to stay competitive with HP and Brother in order to keep the company running in the right direction. We also found it very interesting and noble that the CEO keeps the company to have a family fell to it. At sometimes one of the team members felt that this could be a downfall due to keeping a family orientated environment would cause a manager or anyone with an authoritative position not want to make the tough calls when needed closures, layoffs etc. The team also found it interesting that a former CEO that had left the company had been asked to come back and basically handpicked Anne Mulcaly to be his successor. It turned out to be...

...THEY SAY FILIPINA IS ANOTHER NAME FOR MAID by Luisa A. Igloria Our Overseas Contract Workers are the new heroes of the Philippines --Fidel V. Ramos In Hong Kong last summer my office mate and I took turns, smiling for pictures in front of "The Court of Final Appeal," as a joke, or maybe in a kind of atonement--because two women boarding the same ferry we took that morning said, in the dialect they were sure we would recognize, Is it your day off too? One of them had a quick, nervous way of smiling, as if ready to take it back if we had turned on them with indignation. The other was clearly ready to challenge, if the well- intentioned expression of solidarity were read otherwise. It was a day filled with rainclouds, a sky the color of aluminum, the dull sheen on the inside of an old rice cooker. Yes, we smiled, it's our day, off too. Is your amo kind? ventured the younger of the two, shyly. Yes, we said, thinking of the air- conditioned offices and computers we had left behind for two weeks of r & r, as we leant back on the green railing. The boat punched forward, toward the red and yellow buildings, the rickshaws lined up in the shade. Mine too, she said; now. But the first one… and her voice trailed like a scarf over the water, hesitating. We had to force our way in, said her friend, picking up the thread. I called the center, you know, the one near the church? Migrante. She was this close to being raped. Did you hear about the...

...Canter’s Behavior Management Cycle: A Case Study Canter’s Behavior Management Cycle: A Case Study Effective teachers are aware that they must motivate students to quickly follow directions and to get on and stay on task to insure and increase time for learning (Canter, 2006). Canter’s Behavior Management Cycle is based on a three step process to effectively communicate directions, reinforce those directions with behavioral narration, and taking appropriate corrective action for those who still chose to not comply with direction. Utilizing Canter’s cycle will assist teachers in handling misbehavior. A Case Study Luke is a tenth grade student in Mrs. Flanagan’s American History class. He is very popular because of his talent on the basketball court and only comes to school to play sports. He keeps his grades just high enough to remain on the team and puts forth little effort in his work but enjoys being the center of attention on and off the court. In the past, teachers have allowed him to get by with poor effort and classroom disruptions, so he continually talks and calls out during lessons. When assignments are due, Luke either “forgets” the assignment or comes up with some kind of excuse, actually utilizing the classic “my dog ate it” which gets a laugh from his classmates. Other students find Luke’s behavior entertaining and get off task to join in. Mrs. Flanagan is becoming more and more frustrated with Luke’s behavior, not only his class disruptions, but...

...There once was a unique world not yet discovered, it was a planet square instead of round, orbiting in a lone galaxy far away from earth. One star, called the flagliop, and then planet llamah , where the original llama species came from. Once upon a time, and this is where the story begins, far before the evolution of mankind there was the llamas in their natural habitat on their square planet full of nature, success, and beauty. Two llamas in a scientific lab took place sitting standing at the telescope exploring the universe, when all of a sudden, a brown llama bursts inside and yells; "I'VE MADE SOME UNBELIEVEABLE DISCOVERIES!!" The white llama currently starring into the telescope turns around and says, "And may I ask what these discoveries are..?" The brown llama replies and says, "Of course, Professor Fluff." "Then go on." "I was just observing through the main telescope at front, you know, the giant one, and I happen to come across something exciting." "Get on with it Scit. You're starting to bother me." Scit blurts, "I've found another life form. They seem to be quite gigantic, and they are located thousands of light years away. They don't seem anyway intelligent, and they look much violent." Professor Fluff laughs at the poor excuse of a new scientist in training. "What's so funny?" The black llama listening on the side speaks up. "I wouldn't mind taking a look." So then Scit waved over the black llama into the other doors. The black llama looked into the glass...

Harry was sitting in his house pondering on all the things he had done with his life, when he added up all his achievements he was quite depressed. There was nothing interesting about Harry. So he decided he would like to parachute out of a plane. The next day Harry went to the nearest sky diving facility. Once he was 50,000 feet in the air he began to question what exactly he was doing and why he ever decided to do such a thing. Before he knew it the green light came on and he was pushed out of the plane and as he fell through the clouds he could see the ground below was covered with what appeared to be a huge rainforest. With nowhere to land Harry pulled the cord and got tangled in a tree. Turns out he actually landed in a forest that had unnaturally huge apple trees. One apple was roughly the size of a football and they looked quite juicy and tasty indeed. He went to take a bite but he fell from the tree. Harry forgot about his situation and the cords had snapped. He plummeted...

...My dog just stole my cookie. I made a giant sugar cookie and frosted it and turned around to get milk and I turn around and his front feet are on the counter and he’s running away with my delicious cookie (with a glut of sugar in it. I guess it was good I didn’t get to eat it?) Anyways, I’ve had a productive day. Yesterday (Saturday), after sitting on my floor using my iPod and texting, going on social media, and playing mobile-phone games all day, I realized that - even though I could succumb to sitting on my floor doing nothing (which is a lot easier than doing something way more interesting) – actually doing something productive with my life makes me feel a lot better about myself. Now I like to switch back and forth from different times as I write. Like right now I can hear people playing softball at the school, each one of them vying for their team to win. And the fact that my dog stole my cookie has left me discombobulated and not being able to focus on a single sentence, as I long for that cookie, with its not-so-subtle sugary flavor. I even put blue food coloring on the dough so I could have a blue cookie and nope my dog ate it. Thanks jasper. He steals everything though. We’ve tried everything, but he still steals. He even sole one of those metal sponges! And not only does he steal everything (and I’m not lying, he steals everything), he eats it too! HE ATE A METAL, WIRE SPONGE. HOW DID THAT FEEL GOING DOWN HIS ESOPHOGAS. I BET NOT THAT GOOD. ANYWAYS, I FORGOT...
