...Sarah Miyashita English II PAP Huston 8th May 9th, 2013 The Effects of Ocean Pollution on Animals The planet that we live on is made up of a vast majority of water, consisting of five major oceans of the world: The Pacific, The Atlantic, The Indian Ocean, The Southern Ocean, and also the Arctic, making up approximately 71% of the earth’s surface. The largest amount of oil entered into the ocean due to human activity is 363 million gallons, from industrial waste and automobiles. The pollution and littering of the ocean has become a major problem in these times affecting the natural habitat of many animal species. The government and citizens of the country need to engage in actions that will reduce or hopefully banish the amount of contamination affecting all ocean ecosystems. Ocean pollution is a misfortune that could be, without difficulty, preventable if people simply took the time to dispose of waste and trash appropriately. Once an oil spill occurs along a coastline, it will affect the wildlife population living around it for many years to come and leave a lasting impact. Many animals meet their end whenever the slick oil trickles down their fur, feathers, or scales, all while decreasing their surface area so they are no longer sheathed from the cold water ("Ocean Planet"). The animals might also consume the oil or waste, thus becoming ill and eventually unable to produce offspring properly, later affecting their population even more. Since the 1970s, many laws...

...Annotative Bibliography- Evolution of Ska Paul Latty Western Michigan University Heathcott, JH. (2003). Urban spaces and working-class expressions across the black Atlantic: tracing the routes of ska. Retrieved from http://rhr.dukejournals.org/cgi/reprint/2003/87/183.pdf (Heathcott, 2003) The first wave of ska was the main focus of this article the first wave erupted in the early 1960s out of the energetic dance hall culture of urban Jamaica among working-class youth cobbling together old island traditions and new forms of expression from arrange of materials found in American, British, and Jamaican popular culture. I was introduced to the real definition of Rude Boy they said they were a suit and tie hooligan bent on turf protection and the defiance of adult authority. This matched what I had in mind when I thought of the rude boys I know today. I learned that many artists associated with the global reggae explosion of the 1970s, such as Bob Marley, Bunny Livingstone, Toots Hibbert, and Lee “Scratch” Perry, got their start as young Rude Boy instrumentalists in ska bands. By the late 1960s, Marley and other stars began to slow down the tempo of ska, launching experiments with the genre that would result in rocksteady and reggae music. Before reading this I had always thought that reggae and rocksteady came before the upbeat ska music was formed. This article gave me a lot of good information about the first wave of Ska and how Ska came to be in the first place...

By making sure they know their music, know the marching style, and bond with everybody.

He is emphasizes that he will make band camp very fun but you have to get your work done.

The upperclassmen are looking for you to know every scale, every song, and who they are. “When a kid can’t play that’s a challenge but when hears them playing that’s his satisfaction” Liddell recruits students who have never played a instrument.

...entrepreneurial attitude stimulates creativity and imagination within a company, which generates new ideas for the company, those new ideas will hopefully generate more profits for the company. An entrepreneurial employee is always trying to make the workplace better, they are trying to improve the company they work for even though they are not an owner of that company. They come up with new and better ways to achieve the company’s business goals while saving money in the process. According to a 2013 Swiss-German study, the differences between an entrepreneurial employee and other employees lies in the disposition. Employees are specialists who work for others and whose talents are combined with those of other specialists (employees) by the entrepreneurs (Baer). Employees look at responsibility as everything they have been given to do, entrepreneurs embrace all aspects of responsibility and try to take on as much as they can in an effort to control and shape it. Many people are motivated by money, at least for a period of time but eventually the motivational power of money often wears off; Ultimately most people are motivated by the work they do and the environment that they work in. Compensation and rewards for entrepreneurial employees should include both monetary and non-monetary ideas. Profit-sharing, generous bonuses and additional time-off benefits are some of the monetary compensation and rewards that large businesses are giving to their top employees, however they frequently...

...Carol Olds July 14, 2013 Lesson 3, Enrichment #1 My dearest family, I have finally arrived in America. It was a very long way to travel. The passage was very difficult. The living conditions were dirty and unsanitary. I left Europe to start over and the conditions I have arrived to are not as I expected. Although there are many opportunities here, I am still unsure as to whether I should stay here. I miss my home so much but I am eager to try and embrace the American ways. When I first arrived in New York City, I was taken to a medical facility to check my physical condition. I was lucky that I was healthy enough for the journey, as many faced fatal sicknesses and contracted diseases. Some were sent back to where their journey began. I am much thinner than I was before I left home, but I am sure once I am able to find employment, that I will be able to eat more and regain some of my strength. I have found housing with others from Europe. It is so nice to be able to talk with others that speak my language and understand my feelings of leaving home. The living conditions are not as I thought they would be. The buildings were once single family residents but now they are divided among many of us to share. I do not have my own room, but I am making due sharing my space. Although there is not much light in the apartment I live in and there only two windows to bring in fresh air, I will be fine. Unfortunately there is no indoor plumbing; however our place is being renovated...

...put together to work on a task who just don't seem to make the same progress. Your answer as to what a team is may be working together with other people to figure out a problem; and you are exactly correct. Teams are better in some situations, but not necessary needed in all. In fact, they may have some disadvantages that are inappropriate for the work place. Teams typically outperform individuals when the tasks being done require multiple skills, judgment, and experience, but when the individual isn’t a team player, teams are just about as good as the individual himself. (Robbins and DeCenzo 275-84) Many times, teams are often confused with groups. Teams and groups are similar, but not completely. What differentiates both is that in a team, the members are committed to a common purpose, have a set of specific performance goals, and hold themselves equally responsible for the team’s results. A group is individuals working interdependent who come together to reach a particular objective. There are four types of teams that carry different level of effectiveness. They are: a working group, a pseudo team, a potential team, and a real team. In a working group, there is no work or opportunity to engage in that requires a mutual effort, so their performance is strictly based on each own member’s contribution and what they bring to the table. In a pseudo team, the member’s don’t focus on collective performance or have no interest in shaping a common purpose, so their work is poor. In a...

...Paying of College Athletes The NCAA should allow colleges to give college athletes a weekly pay check for playing a sport. With all the work that college athletes put in at practice, games, and then sitting in a class room they disserve to get paid for it. Unlike other college students athletes are prohibited by the NCAA from getting a job and can only receive scholarships as a source of income (Siebold). Not only is being a college student hard enough but being a college athlete is even harder. Athletes have to wake up early to make it to a practice that could start at 7 or 8. After practicing for 2-3 hours, it is time to rush and make it to class on time. They sit in classes all day long and have to find time between classes and practice to study as well as having a game or practice that night. If they have to travel out of state to go to a game they may leave early in the morning or the night before and may stay the night as well in that town. Even with the NCAA not allowing an athlete to get a job, when would an athlete have time to work? With not being able to work how are they suppose to be able to buy food or pay bills if they have some to pay? Not everyone that goes to college comes from families with money and are not able to afford what some of their classmates are able to afford. When you look at the amount of money that a college coach gets paid you would be surprised. In most states the coaches of football or basketball teams are the highest paid public workers...
