...graduate overflowing with energy and comforting smiles. Brent explains to Elizabeth that since he is graduating in December and plans to begin work in January, he wants to leave all of November and December open for interviews. Such a plan means that by October 31 he has to have all his preliminary materials, such as cover letters and résumés, submitted to the companies where he wants to work. Elizabeth recognizes that Brent has to follow a very tight schedule, if he wants to meet his goal within the next 60 days. She suggests that the two of them sit down together and decide the major milestones that need to be completed in the job search process. Elizabeth and Brent list the 19 major milestones. For each of the 19 milestones, they identify the other milestones that must be accomplished directly before Brent can begin this next milestone. They also estimate the time needed to complete each milestone. The list is shown below. In the evening after his meeting with Elizabeth, Brent meets with his buddies at the college coffee house to chat about...

...Hey friends, We know there is a lot of excitement in the community surrounding the Lollipop updates for the One, and for good reason. We are just as excited as you are. We never intended to keep you waiting. Unfortunately, we ran into some unexpected roadblocks. First, there was an unforeseen OS signing issue, which has recently been resolved. Our camera module had stability issues on Lollipop, and we had to rebuild it for compatibility. Several other crucial drivers, including our Wi-Fi drivers, also needed to be updated to work flawlessly with the upgrade. Admittedly, it took a little more time than we had planned, but we only release updates that we are proud of; that means refusing to take shortcuts or deliver sub-par experiences. With all of that in mind, here are the official release dates for Android Lollipop on the OnePlus One: CM 12S: The official OTA update for the OnePlus One will be released on or before March 30, 2015 OxygenOS: The official release of our own Lollipop-based ROM will be available for download on or before March 27, 2015 To show you how serious we are about this commitment to our community, we are prepared to put our money where our mouth is. If we miss either one of these deadlines, we will give away five (5) 64GB OnePlus One devices to our fans. Reply to this thread to be eligible. It’s our little way of saying thank you for being patient and for joining us on our journey to create amazing, user-driven experiences. Never...

...Class of 2016, Congratulations, we've made it! Today is our first, “big first”, our step in the real world, adulthood, and that time when all the dreaded college loan debt comes back to haunt us. It seems like just yesterday, we were starting the best adventure of our lives. Now, as we sit here pondering how to pay that debt and thinking about what the future has in store, I can’t help but be proud that we have made it. Having survived the core, our exams, essays, endless nights up studying, the miserable hangovers, and the shots fired on State St., I think we all should be proud to have made it here in one piece. In all seriousness, today is a milestone for each us as well as our families, and it is to our loved ones that we owe our deepest thanks. I think I can speak for most of us here ready to receive our diplomas, that we would not be here if it wasn’t for the endless support we had every step of the way, the shoulders we had to lean on when things got rough, and the days we thought we couldn’t make it, but we did with a quick pep talk... or a shot or two of tequila. After today, we leave the protection of the College, the community of our friends, roommates, and teachers, to find and forge new communities of our own. I want to spend our final moments together reflecting on the distinctive kind of education that has shaped the way in which we think about the opportunities and challenges we have faced. AIC prides itself on dedication, intellectual and personal...

The project has witnessed some of the biggest name in Indian entertainment industry and sports arena as well as some former international Olympic medal winners as its brand ambassadors. The story of Sahara India is astonishing by any standard. It is akin to a fairy tale.

...the thieves find him there, and kill him. When his brother does not come back, Ali Baba goes to the cave to look for him, and finds the body, bringing it home. With the help of Morgiana, a clever slave-girl in Kasim's household, they are able to give Kasim a proper burial without arousing any suspicions about his death. The thieves, finding the body gone, realize that somebody else must know their secret, and set out to track him down. The first several times they are foiled by Morgiana, who is now a member of Ali Baba's household, but eventually they are able to ascertain the location of Ali Baba's house. The lead thief pretends to be an oil merchant in need of Ali Baba's hospitality, bringing with him mules loaded with 40 oil jars, one filled with oil, the other 39 with the other thieves. Once Ali Baba is asleep, the thieves plan to kill him. Again, Morgiana discovers and foils the plan, killing the 39 thieves in their oil jars by pouring boiling oil on them. When their leader comes to rouse his men, he discovers that they are dead, and escapes.

...when it comes to stealing. They start to think things through instead of just going at it. The striking thing about that scene is that it shows the children enjoying the scene and having fun, while Antoine and his friend are in the corner plotting with evil thoughts, not enjoying the show. 2) One street scene that I found that interested me was at 24 minutes into the movie, after Antoine had left the carnival. While walking with his friend through the streets, he saw the once beautiful place of what was known as Paris (it’s still beautiful, just not as much as before), as well as his mother, while she was making out with a man who wasn’t her husband. Just this scene alone portrays that in the 1950s, Paris wasn’t the best place to be. Although it was pretty, it was also very busy and crowded on the streets. Anything could happen. 3) One scene I found visually stunning was the carnival scene where he was in the spinning ride. Although I may be wrong, but I feel as if the director included that scene to give an insight of how Antoine’s mind is and he's foreshadowing the rest of the film. The spinning of the ride refers to how Antoine is a confused kid just trying to get through. At one point of the ride, he is completely upside down. That is when his life turns for the worse when he’s sent off to boot camp/military school. The end of the ride is him banging on the door with excitement and walking out with a huge smile on his face. That’s foreshadowing how he escapes the camp...

...Core Huamnities 201 Arabian Nights Universal Themes Images and Techniques Used Arabian Nights, also known as One Thousand and One Nights is a story which revolves around a Persian king who just married a new bride. However, he discovers that his wife was unfaithful and has her executed. As a result, all the women in the kingdom are declared unfaithful. Shahryar (the king) begins to marry a sequence of virgins from the kingdom and has them executed the next morning. In due course, the vizier, who is entitled with the responsibility of providing the virgins, can no longer find any more virgins in the kingdom other than his daughter Scheherazade. She offers herself to be a bride to the king despite objections from her father. On the night of their consummation Scheherazade starts to tell the king a story but does not get to finish it. The king is therefore forced to delay her execution in order to hear the conclusion. On the next night, she tells the king another story and this turns into a series of stories that go on for one thousand and one nights (Haddawy 16). Universal Theme Immortality The Arabian Nights comprises of a sequence of stories which do not have an ending. The passing on of the tales is universally seen as a means of preservation. Scheherazade used the narration of stories as a way to preserve her life she further interwove the endings of the stories with the beginnings of the new stories thus giving them a sense of infinity. She told the stories night after...

One example of literary devices is personification, which gives non-human things human-like qualities.

...Thummim, which represent yes, or no. The old king explains to Santiago that these stones will help guide him along his journey During this conversation, the king tells Santiago, “when you want something, the entire universe conspires to help you achieve it” (Coelho 22). This idea will follow Santiago on his journey and be his inspiration for carrying on. This idea of following your treasure, whatever it is, can be found in all of our lives. It is the story of us, we are the protagonist of our own journey. When Santiago takes off, he is faced with the decision to sell his sheep (everything he owns) and have 100% faith of the unknown. He is faced with changes and decisions that will ultimately shape his entire life forward, much like every one of us. Much like Santiago, we have to have faith that we will reach that treasure, believing in our own fate. The old king explains to Santiago that if he really wants this, the entire universe will conspire to help you achieve it. The universe wants you to find your treasure, it wants you to be happy, that’s what it feeds off it; which is why it is fighting for you. This relates to our lives when we want something with such a deep desire; when you work towards that desire, do you notice that you start to get lucky? The old king describes that as beginner's luck, “Every search begins with beginner’s luck. And every search ends with the victors being severely tested.” This started to occur during Santiago's journey, the universe started to...

...Aladdin is one of the tales in the book One Thousand and One Arabian Nights. There are several moral lessons in the story. The main moral lesson on Aladdin is that its best to be yourself. Greatness and strength comes from within, not from without. Its not whats on the outside that' count; what is important is what's on the inside. The moral of the original Middle-Eastern tale 'Arabian Nights' is that greatness and strength comes from within, not from without. This is demonstrated by Aladdin's bravery and intelligence despite his humble upbringing. In Disney's animated musical version of the story, the writers updated this theme to a single phrase, calling Aladdin a 'diamond in the rough'. There are many differences between the movie and the original tale of Aladdin, because the filmmakers believed that the original had an inappropriate moral message. And I have to agree with this for at least two reasons. First, Aladdin never tells the princess who he really is; he becomes a prince thanks to the jinni, but he never considers telling his wife about who he was before that. The original story doesn’t even mention this. Lying and pretending to be someone else is, indeed, something that should not be promoted in a children’s movie.Then, in the original story I really couldn’t stand the princess, Badr al-Budur. She is naïve, has no personality and no opinion, she does what she is told to, and never asks questions. She is so easily tricked, that she almost gets Aladdin killed...

... Literary elements refers to aspects or characteristics of a whole text. They are not “used,” per se, by authors; we derive what they are from reading the text. Most literary elements can be derived from any and all texts; for example, every story has a theme, every story has a setting, every story has a conflict, every story is written from a particular point-of-view, etc. In order to be discussed legitimately, literary elements must be specifically identified for that text. Literary techniques refers to any specific, deliberate constructions of language which an author uses to convey meaning. An author’s use of a literary technique usually occurs with a single word or phrase, or a particular group of words or phrases, at one single point in a text. Unlike literary elements, literary techniques are not necessarily present in every text. Literary terms refers to the words themselves with which we identify and describe literary elements and techniques. They are not found in literature and they are not “used” by authors. Allegory: Where every aspect of a story is representative, usually symbolic, of something else, usually a larger abstract concept or important historical/geopolitical event. Lord of the Flies provides a compelling allegory of human nature, illustrating the three sides of the psyche through its sharply-defined main characters. Antagonist: Counterpart to the main character...
