...but changed in spite of herself , showing an outstanding courage and dignity through deeply personal tragedy … Marie Antoinette was born to a life of unimaginable wealth and unquestioned privilege . Austria was a great empire spread over central Europe and her mother was its ruler. The Empress always behaved towards her daughter more like a head of state than an affectionate mother . As she once said about her own children : - “ They are born to obey ! “ . When she wanted to build an alliance with France , Austria ‘s centuries old rival , she commanded Marie Antoinette to marry the heir to the French throne , Louis the 16 th . On April 21 , 1770 , Marie Antoinette said goodbye to Austria forever .

How to Say Nothing in 500 Words Paul Roberts Paul Roberts (1917-1967) was a linguist, a teacher, and a writer at San Jose State College from 1946 to 1960 and at Cornell University from 1962 to 1964. His books on writing, including English Syntax (1954) and Patterns of English (1956), have helped generations of high school and college students become better writers. "How to Say Nothing in 500 Words" is taken from his best-known book, Understanding English (1958). Although written almost fifty years ago, the essay is still relevant for student writers today. Good writing, Roberts tells us, is not simply a matter of filling up a page; rather, the words have to hold the reader's interest, and they must say something. In this essay, Roberts uses lively prose and a step-by-step process to guide the student from the blank page to the finished essay...

...who was telling the story until mid-way of this selection. I also admired the fact that Updike was a bit concerned with feminism and how he made both Lenegal and Sammy portray it through their thoughts and perspectives. But other than that from beginning to end i enjoyed it. Session 4: Th 1/30: Baldwin, “Sonny’s Blues” : The turning point is when the narrator had a conversation for the last time with his mother. It was the last time before she had died and before he went away with his life. She was telling the story of how the narrator’s and his brother Sonny’s father’s brother was killed for no reason apparently. And she had explained the burden that it left on the father and herself ever since then. The point she was trying to get across to the narrator is to always to look out and take care of his brother if anything were to happen to her. Another turning point can be when the narrator finally gets the opportunity to see Sonny play. Session 5: T 2/4: Mason, “Shiloh” : This information contributes to my understanding of the story by seeing the sequence of how the events were displayed. The same things that were happening to Leroy and Norma Jean, happened before with Norma Jean’s mother; Mabel; before. It is like when the Norma and Leroy were slowly but surely arriving to the battlegrounds their marriage and commitment; well at least Norma Jean’s; were dying as well. Session...

...Boy-3 years old, Girl-4 years old, Mother. Hypothesis: My hypothesis was to determine the effects of maternal presence versus absence on sibling behavior. Setting: This observation took place in the children's home. As a playroom they used the living room because that is where all their toys are. For my observation I used both the siblings and their mother. During the observation I was present including the children and their mother. I am not related to those children. I happened to meet them a couple of times because they are related to my boyfriend. I do not see the children frequently. I will see them only when my boyfriend's family will invite us to a family get together. I did not interact with the children at all, only the mother interacted with them. Methodology: In my study I only observed a mixed sex pair of siblings. Where the sister was older than her brother. The mother and the two siblings were observed in the family's home, in their living room, instead of a playroom laboratory. I started the observation at 5:00 PM. Five minutes before I started my study I explained to the mother that she would have to interact with the children for almost an hour. Then I told her that she would have to leave the room for around the same time, so that the children may interact without her presence. I also explained that after the children were done playing together alone that she would have to come back and ask them to put th... ... middle of...

...Sports and Politics Jack Roosevelt Robinson I am doing my project on a man named Jackie Robinson. He was an American professional baseball player who became the first African American to play in Major League Baseball (MLB) in the modern era. He broke the baseball colour line when a team called the Brooklyn Dodgers played Jack on first base on April 15 th , 1947. When the Dodgers signed Robinson, they hoped that this would be the end of racial segregation in professional baseball which forced black players to play in their own leagues called Negro Leagues since the 1880s. Jack Robinson was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1962. I am writing about Jack Robinson because I find that he is a very interesting character under the topic of sports and politics.

A villain kills my father, and, for that, I, his sole son, do this same villain send To heaven Oh, this is hire and salary, not revenge. He took my father grossly, full of bread, With all his crimes broad blown, as flush as May. And how his audit stand who knows save heaven? But in our circumstance and course of thought ‘Tis heavy with him. And am I then revenged To take him in this purging of his soul When he is fit and seasoned for his passage?

...Page 1 – ASIA PACIFIC 2012 Copyright © ESOMAR 2012 “SO MANY DIFFERENT SUNS” HOW SUCCESSFUL BRANDS HIT THE CONFLUX OF AFFORDABILITY AND ASPIRATION Shobha Prasad • Sangeeta Gupta INTRODUCTION All of us are familiar with the current industry focus on emerging markets. It is also no surprise that the larger consuming population in these markets lies not at the top end, but towards the middle and lower ends of the income pyramid. This is also where marketers struggle the most – how should the offer be constructed to ensure it is affordable yet desirable? The proposed Theory of Multiple Aspiration & Poverty Lines (MAPL) represented a new and stratified approach to understanding affluence, poverty and aspiration. This has many implications on brand positioning and portfolio strategies for creation of winning brands or “suns”. Objective The objective of this paper was to take this thinking forward through an exploration as follows: Broadly, what are the implications of the Multiple Aspiration & Poverty Lines (MAPL) theory for brand positioning, communication and portfolio management? What drives brand success in the Indian context? What strategies have these brands used to achieve success- to what degree are these brands wedded to symbols of aspiration /belongingness in each social class? How did the brands that were not so successful in the Indian market falter on making the right connections on these dimensions? Approach We identified product categories through which...

...NORTH AND SOUTH NORTH AND SOUTH by ELIZABETH GASKELL 1 ELIZABETH GASKELL 2 NORTH AND SOUTH First published in serial form in Household Words in 1854-1855 and in volume form in 1855. Republished 2012 by 27 Northen Grove Manchester M20 2NL www.malcsbooks.com 3 ELIZABETH GASKELL 4 NORTH AND SOUTH VOLUME I On its appearance in 'Household Words,' this tale was obliged to conform to the conditions imposed by the requirements of a weekly publication, and likewise to confine itself within certain advertised limits, in order that faith might be kept with the public. Although these conditions were made as light as they well could be, the author found it impossible to develope the story in the manner originally intended, and, more especially, was compelled to hurry on events with an improbable rapidity towards the close. In some degree to remedy this obvious defect, various short passages have been inserted, and several new chapters added. With this brief explanation, the tale is commended to the kindness of the reader; 'Beseking hym lowly, of mercy and pite, Of its rude makyng to have compassion.' ____ 5 ELIZABETH GASKELL 6 NORTH AND SOUTH CHAPTER I 'HASTE TO THE WEDDING' 'Wooed and married and a'.' dith!' said Margaret, gently, 'Edith!' But, as Margaret half suspected, Edith had fallen asleep. She lay curled up on the sofa in the back drawing-room in Harley Street, looking very lovely in her white muslin and blue ribbons.

...Will You Pass On? For most young girls, the mother or “mother figure” is a model. Without truly knowing for herself what it is to be a woman, a girl finds, both consciously and unconsciously, some direction from her mother. Imitating her mannerisms, her characteristics, her every make and move, young girls start to identify with their mothers and subscribe to many of their beliefs. Commonly, little girls are fond of all the “rituals” that women in our society, their mothers, practice in order to be “beautiful,” and one will see everything from “mother and daughter” apparel in catalogs to the fun and simpler “dress-up” days at home, where small girls wear mommy’s make-up, clothes, and high-heel shoes. While this “mother-daughter” scenario exists in our society as a whole, the mothers in some ethnic groups sometimes have different takes on what it is to be “beautiful” and, naturally, pass these confusing and sometimes self-deprecating values and beliefs to their daughters. For many young African American girls, particularly, sometimes the imitation of their mother and all that is sacred to her results in low self-esteem. When daughters are exposed to “race-conscious mothers,” who “admonish [them] to make it a habit to pull their noses to make them thinner” or to do other things to alter their physical appearance, it is difficult for them to feel good about themselves (Seyersted 51). Julia A. Boyd, author of In the Company of My Sisters: Black Women and Self-Esteem, asks...

...Christopher O’Donnell Intro to Psychology T+TH 9:30-10:45 November 18, 2007 Multiple Intelligences Citation “Effects of Gender and choice of Major on Estimates of Multiple Intelligences for Self, Mother, and Father Among Lebanese Youth”. Ramzi Nasser, Kamal Abouchedid, and Notre Dame University, Lebanon. Current Reseach in Social Psychology. Volume 11, Number 9. May 16, 2006. Topic In high school, my psychology briefly explained the theory of the multiple intelligences. We even took a test that should have told us what parts each of us were good at. Ever since, I have strongly believed in this theory and wanted to know more about it. This article had caught my eye and thought it would be very interesting and before even reading it all the way through, I started to make hypothesis of my own about it. In our book, multiple intelligence is explained in chapter 9. Hypothesis and Background Howard Gardner’s theory of Multiple Intelligence states that intelligence is split up into eight independent parts Logical-Mathematical (ability to reason), Linguistic(ability to use words), Musical(ability to perceive and cerate pitch and rhythm), Spatial(ability to navigate and form mental images), Bodily-Kinesthetics(muscle movements), Interpersonal(ability to understand other people), Intrapersonal(ability to understand self), and Naturalist(ability to identify and employ distinctions in the natural world). In the study however, two more intelligences were added to the theory:...

...1 THE VEGA FOOD COMPANY In February 2007, Francisco Valle, Jr., president of Industrias La Vega, organized the first family council meeting in the owning family’s history to address problems he was having with his youngest sister, Mari, a shareholder in the company. He felt that the problems were not of his making and were interfering with his management of the company. Francisco, 45, had worked closely with his father, Francisco Sr., since 1986 and had become president of the company in March 2004, when his 72-year-old father was killed in an automobile accident. Industrias La Vega was a Spanish meat-processing business that produced hams, sausages, and other delicacies for domestic and export markets. The $104.8-million-a-year business was demanding, of course, but Francisco Jr. felt most challenged by the family conflicts that often overwhelmed him. The ownership structure of Industrias La Vega had been updated just months before the tragic accident involving Francisco Sr. At the request of Francisco Jr., who was concerned about the possible loss of control of the enterprise he had co-managed with his father for years, Francisco Sr. and his attorneys had created two classes of stock. The voting A shares did not pay dividends. The nonvoting but dividend-bearing B shares had a par value 10 times higher than that of the A shares. Except for brief stints, none of the Valle daughters had worked in the business prior to their father’s death. Ana, the second eldest daughter, was...

...have life in his name.” These events offered proof of Jesus divinity according to Dr. Elmer Towns author of The Gospel of John, Believe and Live. In the Gospel of John, John reveals the relationship between the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This is shown at the wedding feast at Cana, the woman at the well, and the raising of Lazarus. “Jesus performed miracles in this gospel for a variety of reasons. First, the ultimate objective of the signs was to bring glory to God (2:11) and develop the faith of those who witnessed or heard about these miracles (20:31). Second, miracles were performed by Christ to demonstrate how He fulfilled prophecy (6:14), and third, perhaps as an expression of His compassion upon people (11:5, 35).” [1] My prayer is that...
