...had to stop. My breath became short, my heart pounded and my legs gave way. A shower of bombs hit the side of my house. The force of the blast threw me to the ground! There are streets being bombed right this minute; I’m scared. Mama and Papa told me that everything is going to be ok, but I’m still scared. They said that I have to be evacuated out of London soon; I have to go somewhere far away. I will miss them dearly and I’m sure they will miss me too. I’m only 13 but my mama can’t come with me, she said that Churchill our prime minister made up the rules. I have mixed thoughts about being evacuated; I am worried about the type of people I am going to stay with and whether they will care for me or not, however, I love the countryside as it is very peaceful and quiet unlike the streets of London!! I’m going to bed now, speak soon. Mary. Dear diary, November 1, 1940 From late last night until early this morning, I witnessed some indescribable events. Armed soldiers and police paraded the streets looking for Jews. Jews were taken from their houses and other peoples attics where they hid. All I could hear throughout the night were gunshots. Between 200-300 Jews have been killed already. If they weren’t killed, they were taken away as prisoners. Mama told me that they were being taken to concentration camps where they would work themselves to death. It was definitely not tranquil! The sky is always filled with thick black smoke and there is a stench of dead rotting bodies. I...

...Entry 1: Dear Diary, I am just now leaving The United States of America and on the plane right now as I’m writing this. Mama, Walter, Ruth, and Travis all dropped me off at the airport to say goodbye. It was really hard because I know I will not see them for a while, but they know what’s best for me. I know Mama wanted me to be with George, but he truly just wasn’t for me. He wanted me to be someone who I was not. He tried to push me away from who I am. I am Beneatha and proud of myself and family and since he couldn’t respect that I had to let him go. I hope Mama will understand why I did such a thing. She will never know how much I love her. As I am looking out of this window at the little specks of houses diapering I am thinking about what my future holds. I wonder if I have made the right decision, but I can only hope so. Joseph has changed my view of life. He has changed me for the better. I have always wanted to help others after I had watched the little boy in my neighborhood cut his head open. I know I am not the greatest follower of god, but I think this might be his plan for me. To look after the sick and diseased. I am delighted I have met Asagai. It’s almost like he is my other half because when I am with him I feel so alive and free. He makes me feel wanted and loved. He may not be the rich like George, but I love him just as much, if not more. Looking out into the clouds I see a happy future. Saving lives, curing patients, and caring for all who have been hurt...

...Vanessa Zsorey Dr. McCort College Comp 11 December 2015 Sonic Highways A band lasting as long as twenty years in the music industry with their original sound not suffering is a rarity. The Foo Fighters, led by the legendary Dave Grohl, are magnificent rockers who throughout two decades, continue to stay relevant in many ways. Throughout these twenty years they have released nine albums, each of which contained some of the biggest alternative rock hits of all time. Though they may not be riding the radio waves constantly or may only appeal to a shrinking audience, their craft has never once suffered. Their newest album, Sonic Highways, is pure proof that the Foo Fighters continuously try to push themselves out of their comfort zones in order to remain interesting to their fans. Sonic Highways was the most recent project the Foo Fighters have put out and the most creative of the past eight albums. The process to create this album was far more in depth and unique compared to the traditional methods. Typically, when a band decides they want to record, they find the closest studio that is in their price range and is the best quality necessary to fit the project. Mixing the recordings has gotten incredibly easy in recent times, where all that is really necessary is the ProTools program. With Protools, any errors can easily be cleaned and corrected, then moved on to the master CD and sent off to be pressed. A decade ago, recording and mixing were not nearly as simple or cheap...

...own in the future. I would like to ask the young people reading this: Do you ever wonder what you will do to earn a living, what your career will consist of? Do you ever wonder how successful you are going to be, or what things you will be able to accomplish? Do you ever wonder if you will be able to enjoy the “good life” and afford the nicer than average things? Do you wonder if you will wind up having a job that you enjoy, or one that you must do out of necessity? Will you be able to support yourself and a family and own a nice home and automobile—all of those things we think of as the “American Dream”? Probably most young people have these thoughts and questions from time to time. You may not worry about such things at this time in your life, but you do think about them. We are all aware of the economic downturn in the United States, as our nation faces many problems at this time. Unemployment problems are continually in the news with many major corporations laying off employees as part of necessary cutbacks. Some of these may already be affecting your family. Many of you harbor legitimate concerns and are uncertain about your future. Even with conditions that now occur in our economy, a way exists for you to be successful and to land a good job in this country. This key concept or way for you to be successful starts right now no matter your age or grade in school. It can be described in a word: diligence. Diligence means “steady, earnest, energetic application and effort...

...Joe Polce English 015 Mrs. Wickman How To Roll Your Own Cigarette Is anyone in your life a cigarette smoker? Do you often notice that they are always complaining about their ever-rising price? According to the U.S Census Bureau, out of the 6.7 billion people in the world, 2 billion are smokers of cigarettes or some other form of tobacco. Almost 75% of these 2 billion spend between $1000 - $1500 yearly on their favorite packs and cartons that they just cannot resist. We know its a habit, right? Its also an expensive habit. I am going to show you a quick and easy way to not only cut the cost of cigarettes in half, but also save you hundred of dollars. A select few smokers of the modern world have been fortunate enough to find the solution to the climbing prices of cigarettes. This solution is actually very simple. Why don’t we, instead of spending the $6 plus on an already produced pack of Marlboro Lights, make and produce our own pack of very similar cigarettes? Herein lies the solution; roll your own cigarettes. Most people shy away from such an idea claiming that they would never know where to start, or have no idea where they would buy the equipment, but on contrary the first steps to this new lifestyle are very easy, and the tools needed are readily available. The benefits of rolling your own cigarettes are numerous. First off, its inexpensive. GS Hammack, a man who writes for a website called AssociatedContact.com, said that “smokers that are looking for...

...a second person narrator technique, he highlights uncomfortable situations, loss of identity and the feeling of being stuck in life, showing that one most do what one likes, otherwise, you’ll lose in life In the short story, “Stolpestad”, is it clear that Stolpestad is stuck in his life. “The coffee shops, the liqoue stores, laundromats, police, fire, gas stations to pass – this is your life, Stolpestad”. Furthermore, Stolpestad seems to be genuine depressed as he says to himself “this is your life, Stolpestad” which shows that Stolpestad’s not where he wants to be in life as he has to end the sentence white “Stolpestad” as if he was not listening to himself. “As if you have seen or imagined or been through all of this before, or will be through it all again” The fact that Stolpestad feels like he has experienced things that he haven’t even tried yet, shows how much he has given up on life. Stolpestad’s sad view on life probably is a mix of his life going in circles, and the fact that he is constantly experiencing unpleasant things that just repeats and repeats itself throughout his life: “Your whole life spent along the same sad streets (..) as you pull around the house, as if you’ve seen or imagined or been through all of this before, or will be through it all again, over and over”. Moreover, instead of going home to his family after his attempt to kill the dog, he ends up on a bar, telling about the episode, which brings out laughter: “this little dog they heard about, ha...

...music learned how to play several instruments by the inspiration of others. Mayer loved music, especially blues as can be heard from all his songs in which they all share a melancholic tune. As a young man in high school one of his first gigs was at a local blues bar with a band he had been currently been a part of. Although he only played guitar at the time Mayer was still songwriting. He learned how to write after being hospitalized at the age of 17 with a mental issue even though his illness was destroying his body his creativity kept flowing allowing him to find his newfound passion, songwriting. All these action leading to his first debut of his album in 2001 “Room for Squares” in which he would receive Grammy nominations for the song “Your body is a wonderland” and the public eye would be drawn towards Mayer. After this Mayer would release many albums and singles that would lead to the fame he has today. In my opinion, John Mayer’s music is one of a kind and truly beautiful all holding a deep message leaving for the listener to interpret in however which way they feel. Furthermore, out of all of Mayer’s accomplishments “Waiting on the world to change” from the album “Continuum” is one of his best works. This song has a slow tempo like most of his songs on the “Continuum” album. Also, in this song the beats are...

...difficulties for the banking sector. Consequently several big institutions such as HSBC and Citigroup have already been fined for failing to comply with AML laws. Regulations have changed the financial sector. This essay will analyse the impact of the 9/11 attacks on the regulatory framework as well as the effects of AML on the financial industry. Page 3 of 16 2. MEASURES TAKEN AML has been on the agenda of regulators well before 9/11. However, the actions of prosecutors were more focused on fighting organised crime, drug and weapon dealing as well as tax evasion. 9/11 shifted the attention towards fighting terrorism and initiated Counter Terrorist Financing (“CTF”) laws. It was not until 9/11, that strict reporting rules known as “Know Your Customer” were introduced in the US. Before, the banking lobby could prevent further regulations, however, the US PATRIOT Act 2001, in response to 9/11, took AML and CTF measures to a new level. Since 2001 a comprehensive due diligence for high-risk products and especially for so-called “Politically Exposed Persons” is mandatory in the US....

...Antonio Raimundo Montana (“Tony”) was once the office manager of Captain Kirk, P.A. (“Firm”). A few of Tony’s duties involved client billing and managing the Firm’s accounts, both the operating and trust accounts. Tony had been at the Firm for over 20 years and was a trusted employee, so much so that the managing partner, Spock, rarely supervised Tony’s actions. When Tony first started at the Firm he would provide Spock a monthly report that detailed the activity of the trust account. Spock required this report as means to comply with the Florida Bar Rule 5-1.1, which mentions that a lawyer must maintain and supervise the trust account. However, as the Firm rapidly expanded and the workload increased, Tony asked Spock to eliminate such “busy” work like that of the monthly report of the trust account. Spock agreed to cease the monthly reports since he had developed a strong sense of trust and loyalty to Tony over the years. Also, Tony had never done anything in the past to make Spock suspicious of Tony’s actions. Spock had to go out of state for a month’s time for a trial. Before leaving, he asked that Tony be on the lookout for a $1 million dollar wire transfer that was expected to be coming in the next couple of days and is to be held within the Firm’s trust account. Tony obliged and said that everything would be taken care of and that the accounting records would be updated once received. While Spock was out of town, he emailed Tony on several occasions inquiring...

...1 Week 3 Case Study The Forgotten Group Member Janail Richard-Brown 8565 W Sam Houston PKWY S Houston, Texas 770?? Jrich_26@yahoo.com 713-988-1038 GM 591 Leadership Organizational Behavior Kim Nugent January 23, 2012 Group Development As of right now, the group is somewhere between norming and performing-this stage is actually called storming. My reason for using the two stages is that one group member is still not performing up to standard (Mike). I find that this has occurred and been encountered quite often in my experience at DeVry. Most members will be onboard and one will just do the lease amount of work necessary to pacify other members. Christine having and understanding of the stages of group development would better suit her in two ways. First she would be aware of how the group is functioning and the dynamics of a group activity. Then secondly, she would see that Mike was not falling under any of the developmental practices in the stages. Also, I think it would give her a better idea on how to obtain Mike’s full efforts on the assignment. Problem Identification Christine is first facing the lack of participation by one of the group’s members. Secondly the group is at a critical point because the assignment is nearing a close. Christine needs to understand how to motivate each member to be the best at giving a total effort to the assignment. People are a very delicate lot. She needs to have each member perform at a high standard and at the same time...
