...How I spent my school vacation How I spent my school vacation??? First of all, I have to say I hate the word spent. It is like I wasted my time, like I used up my vacation. Everyone LOVES their summer vacation. Who doesn’t? Because after a longggg time of coming to school every day, doing homework and facing terrible tests, we all need a break. After a long time of studying for my end of term semester exams, I was in desperate need of a good, long break. So when our holidays came around, I was so excited and relived. Holidays generally mean, waking up late, playing with friends and relatives, going places, eating lots of food and watching a lot of cartoons on TV. That was the way it was for me… but in addition to that we went a on a trip too. My father had his vacation that same month and our whole family was over-joyed. We decided to spend the month in Kandy at one of our relatives’ house. It was the most AWESOME Vacation we ever had. Their house was soooo beautiful and their garden, like a paradise. The house was small, but that was another reason why it was fun, because I had to share rooms with the son at that house who was the same age as me. We were so mischievous and were up to all kinds of fun. At nights after our parents had told us to go to sleep, we would secretly play video games or fighting games, or pillow fights, or act like we are camping until the late hours. His name was Mustafa. Anyways together Mustafa and I went on bike rides and helped his mother in...

...My Dream Vacation! By: Chase P Loosli B5 I have wanted to go for a vacation for very long. The country for my dream vacation is Australia. Australia is a part of the continent, Oceania. It is a big country with many attractions. I am going to share with you, in this essay, what attracts me such that I want to go to Australia, There are many physical factors in Australia. One of them is deserts. I would like to go to a desert in Australia as there are many plants and animals at the deserts. I can also experience a bit of desert life and know more about deserts after going to one myself. Another physical factor is the rock formations. There are many rock formations in Australia that are formed naturally. These rock formations make a good place to watch sunrise and sunsets. I am sure we do not want to miss such a spectacle as it would be such a pity. Examples of such rock formations are Uluru, otherwise called Ayers Rock, which is a World Heritage Site, Kata Tjuta, also known as Mount Olga, and Devils Marbles. The third physical factor is the ranges, which consists of mountains and hills. The ranges let us see a series of mountains together. Climbing one of the mountains is a good experience for me as I had not tried mountain climbing before. Since they are ranges, there must be nice scenery there too. I would like to go there to see the beautiful scenery. Examples are Brindabella Ranges, visible to the west of Canberra, and Flinders Ranges, the largest mountain...

...Rafael Donias The Reality of Becoming Twice a Child In the circle of life it is hard to tell as one gets near the end of his or her journey just exactly what they experienced in life. In the eyes of old age; you would not know you are looking at what once was a fighter pilot, circus clown, or factory worker in WWII. Tinamarie a CNA at the Bird Haven Convalescent Hospital has met the likes of these. She is a part time college student seeking a teaching credential and works to help provide for her household. She said, “My passion is to teach children but the economy has altered my ability to be a full time student and I have to provide for my family.” Taking the job at the convalescent hospital she is greeted every day by the odor of ammonia and industrial cleaning agents that can not remove the stench of death that permeates the air. She said she always has to take a deep breath and focus on her commitment to the elderly residents she cares for. The only distractions she has is the subtle classical music that is piped in the overhead speakers throughout the corridors and the pleasant floral wall hangings strategically placed to avert ones attention from the stench of death. But she is reminded of her surroundings by the handicap ramps and the cold indoor temperature which is set to prevent the growth of germs and bacteria. Her daily activities in this job include making rounds which consist of feeding them, changing linens and keeping charts of their daily activities...

...The Hunger Games The Hunger Games was a rather interesting book it was fascinating, peculiar, but great Suzanne Collins “really put her foot into this one”. The Hunger Games takes place in a nation known as Panem, established in North America after the destruction of the continent's civilization by an unknown apocalyptic event. The nation consists of the wealthy Capitol and twelve surrounding, poorer districts united under the Capitol's control. District 12, where the book begins, is located in the coal-rich region that was formerly known as Appalachia. As punishment for a past rebellion against the Capitol, in which a 13th district was destroyed, one boy and one girl between the ages of 12 and 18 from each district are selected by an annual lottery to participate in the Hunger Games, an event in which the participants (or "tributes") must fight to the death in an outdoor arena controlled by the Capitol, until only one individual remains. The story is narrated by 16-year-old Katniss Everdeen, a girl from District 12 who volunteers for the 74th annual Hunger Games in place of her younger sister, Primrose. The male tribute chosen from District 12 is Peeta Mellark, a former schoolmate of Katniss who once gave her bread from his family's bakery when her family was starving. Katniss and Peeta are taken to the Capitol, where their drunken mentor, Haymitch Abernathy, victor of the 50th Hunger Games, instructs them to watch and determine the strengths and weaknesses of the...

...spending my holiday at warm and sunny beach .My best holiday experience was spent at Berjaya beach resort Langkawi Island in Malaysia. Berjaya beach resort is located in Langkawi, Kedah, Malaysia. Langkawi Island is one of the most beautiful islands in Malaysia. When we landed at Kedah airport, we took a cab to the jetty in Kuala Kedah then took a ferry to Langkawi Island. We reached the Berjaya Langkawi Island after one hour of ferry ride. As soon as we reached the island, I was stunned by the beautiful scenic views that I only saw in picture. This beach resort is located in an attractive spot nestled between the rainforest and beach thus creating a tranquil hideaway. This island is delightful and peaceful, the air is fresh and cooling, beautiful coconut leaves moving in the air, on the blue sky is stunning to watch. This image makes me feel happy and relax after 20 hours of travel across the Pacific Ocean from United State of America. We were brought to the rainforest chalet by the hotel shuttle car. The chalet has a traditional Malaysian –style look, is tucked away in 70 acres of lush tropical rainforest. This is a secluded retreat away from urban living. We saw green mountains on one side and beautiful white sand beaches on the other. The chalet is very spacious with a large balcony, a good size shower, and bath. I felt so tired and exhausted after a long journey I took a nap on this luxury king size bed. In my dream...

...My last summer vacation This summer vacation I went to Helgenæs with my mother, my sister, my mother and my brother. The first day we went up to the train station early to get to Aarhus. The ride on the bus was long and I couldn’t wait for it this year’s summer vacation. The ride at the train was long and I played PSP (Play Station Portable) almost all the time, and the rest of the time I played computer. After about 3 hours at the train we finally got there, Aarhus Hovedbanegård. My mother’s boyfriend, Flemming, waited for us there. Then we drove to Helgenæs in his car, the ride was very, very long and sometimes boring. ZZZZZZZZZZZZ! But then we finally got there after a long ride and I went happy. The rest of the day we were together, enjoying us selves and having fun. I played some computer and I text-messaged with my friend Nicolai. The next day we were walking and enjoying us selves, whilst Flemming were working a lot, we went to Sibirien, and we saw the beautiful nature at Helgenæs. After that we went home and saw some TV. The next day we went off for a walk to climb the hill called Ellemandsbjerget (the highest hill at Helgenæs) but that wasn’t a long climb, because we never went there. Instead of climbing Ellemandsbjerget we went off for another walk around Ellemandsbjerget. The next day we went to Ebeltoft to shop, we didn’t see anything special there, and we went for something to eat. And what did we eat???? Pizza! The classic Italian pizzas like you know it...

...Betty, Alan’s wife, suffers from working memory, also known as short-term memory. Betty misplacing her checkbook and not remembering where she put it, is definitely short-term memory because she held the information for a limited period of time. The concepts of Alan is work-related stress, low self-esteem, anxiety issues, and his ego. The general perspective that work-related stress falls under is cognitive and development because they both help change the abilities in the job and the way you function when performing the job. Alan’s self-esteem level is the reason for him lying about him being sick to avoid the presentation and him feeling that he is a chronic underachiever. Alan’s anxiety issues is associated with Freudian theory, which describes his feelings of tension and his concern about other individuals opinions. Alan’s ego, which is afraid of upsetting his superego is also associated with Freud’s theory because his personality, which is representing the conscience.

To solve the total system reliability of an individual component reliability I used the following equation.. Rs= (.70)(.88)(.72)(.96)= .426 or 42.6% Rp= 1- (1-.70)(1-.88)(1-.72)(1-.96) =.999 or 99.9% /100% After solving both equations I have determined that the reliabilities of the parallel components are different.

...Sira Ba September 5, 2014 EN 101 Narrative Essay My First Family Vacation to Dubai Going on vacation as a family is one of my favorite things to do. Up until this point, I never had the chance to go on vacation with my husband because his date never matched ours. But in July 2013, we finally could vacation together as a family and chose to go to Dubai (United Arab Emirates) for one week. First, we took the plane to Atlanta and there we took another one to Dubai. The flight was 13 hours long and luckily, we were upgraded to first class. It was very comfortable and the seats could be reclined to be a shape of a bed and there were multiple choices of food. It was great. The flight didn’t have any turbulence. We departed at about 10:00 p.m. and we arrived at about 6:00 p.m. local time at Dubai International Airport. The time difference between the USA and Dubai is eight hours. After the immigration process, we went outside to get a taxi to bring us to our hotel. The first thing we noticed was the thermal reading of that region. It was really hot outside (about 110 degrees Fahrenheit), and when I asked why...

...summer of 2002, and my best friend Candace and I wanted to go on vacation. We thought long and hard about where we wanted to go, and finally decided to fly to Florida. Candace and I started our planning by searching for hotel rooms in the West Palm area, and getting tickets for our flight from the internet. We boarded a plane for Florida in Lexington, Kentucky. We had a layover in Detroit, Michigan, which I thought was very interesting. We were heading North to go South! I enjoyed flying, so I didn't mind. I sat in the window seat so I could watch the beautiful clouds go speeding by, as if they were flying saucers. I also enjoyed the many sites you could see on the ground, entire fields looked like little puzzles from way up in the airplane. Once we arrived in West Palm, we rented a car and started the great search for our hotel. It took us about an hour to find the hotel, which was only ten minutes from the airport. We saw some beautiful neighborhoods including the Kennedy Mansion. What a gorgeous, huge home. I can still picture it today. It was a three-story brick home with white post in the front, surrounded The hotel was right around the corner from the circle we had been driving around the whole time. We laughed so hard when we finally realized just how close we were to our destination. Upon checking into our hotel, we were served champagne. We began to wonder if if they thought we were famous. This was my first taste of champagne;...

...Tax Case 3 Individual Paper 2/22/2014 Attn: Dr. Ott Executive Summary: In this case, my group members represented the side of the taxpayer. One of the main issues in this case is whether or not Rex and Agnes Harrell should be able to make deductions in excess of rental income on their beach house. This deduction depends on if the 14-day personal use provision was exceeded. If the 14-day provision was exceeded than income should be limited to rental income as the ISR decided in this case. However, we have determined that the Harrell’s have not violated the 14-day provision and should therefore be allowed deductions for rental expenses exceeding rental income. Facts: • The Harrell’s purchased a beach house to use occasionally for recreational purposes, but also to rent it out. • The house was in need of significant repairs so the couple decided to make the repairs themselves rather than hiring a contractor. Rex had taken advanced courses in woodwork at a local community college and he applied those skills in his maintenance work. • The log maintained by the Harrell’s showed that the couple occupied the house for 38 days and rented it out for 49 days. On 24 of the 38 days occupied, one or both of them were actively working on the beach house. • On the days they were working on the beach house they sometimes still had time for fun with their two teenage children. Some days they would only work 4 to 5 hours and be able to have fun while other days they would work...
