Each of the girl will be a 1-yuan, each of the boy will be a 0.5-yuan. * And when the host call a random amount of money (like 3.5 yuan) and then the students have to count in their head and rush into a group which they belong to in order to get the total amount of 3.5 yuan * Who eventually can’t find their partners (group) will be eliminated (or he/she/they’ll get a small punishment, just for fun) b. “So you think you have 2 legs?!” * There is a host who control the game (EP & buddy), the students go around in a circle. * When the host stop and order the number of people and legs in one group E.g: Host: “5 people 2 legs” And then the students have to rush into a group of 5 and they have to manage to make sure that 5 people in that group only have 2 legs left on the ground (they can do anything like carrying each other or whatever that makes sense) Also, Who eventually can’t find their partners (group) will be eliminated (or he/she/they’ll get a small punishment, just for fun).

...This isn't just a student protest. It's a children's crusade Outside Downing Street, in front of a line of riot police, I am sitting beside a makeshift campfire. It's cold, and the schoolchildren who have skipped classes gather around as a student with a three-string guitar strikes up the chords to Tracy Chapman's Talkin Bout a Revolution. The kids start to sing, sweet and off-key, an apocalyptic choir knotted around a small bright circle of warmth and energy. "Finally the tables are starting to turn," they sing, the sound of their voices drowning out the drone of helicopters and the screams from the edge of the kettle. "Finally the tables are starting turn." Then a cop smashes into the circle. The police shove us out of the way and the camp evaporates in a hiss of smoke, forcing us forward. Not all of us know how we got here, but we're being crammed in with brutal efficiency: the press of bodies is vice-tight and still the cops are screaming at us to move forward. Beside me, a schoolgirl is crying. She is just 14. "We followed the crowd," she says. So did we all. There are no leaders here: the thousands of schoolchildren and young people who streamed into Whitehall three hours ago in protest at the government's attacks on further and higher education were working completely off script. A wordless cry went up somewhere in the crowd and they were off, moving as one, with no instructions, towards parliament. But just because there are no leaders here doesn't mean...

...DISTANT DREAM “I am born poor but won’t die so” A very simple but difficult to execute phrase was Raja’s ultimate dream. From childhood he lived every moment in this thought, this wish and for this only purpose. One day his lady luck came up to him in the form of an old, learned palmist who in a glimpse said “You are god’s special child and will get everything you desire, just work vey hard for it.” Surprised and shocked by his luck Raja ran out of words and asked “WHAT”! What should I do? Here came the secret words “This iron stick will turn to gold as soon as it touches a precious magic stone ‘Pariiz’. Then you can use this stone to turn everything and anything to gold! Take it and follow your happiness, your desires, and your dreams! Amen”. From the moment he said Go, Raja started his search, completely lost in his dream, walking miles after miles; touching each stone, each pebble on his way, waiting for it to turn to gold. Days, months and then years passed, the mission still unaccomplished, but raja did not stop. Slowly the winds of time started to show up on Raja’s health, even with his deteriorating health and age, he went on and on. One day a small boy named “Vivek” saw him and pondered. Looking at the boy starring at him, Raja’s thoughts ran a flash back; his childhood, his family and everything he had forgone for his dream came in front of his eyes and tears rolled down and today his sole companion was his iron stick. He called upon Vivek and asked what was...

...design, and creativity into their business models to meet their objectives of offering quality products and services. This paper is intended to evaluate the impact of innovation, design, and creativity will have on the strategy of two businesses-the Shared Appreciation Mortgage Company and the Lotus Elise Company while considering their processes, products and services of both organizations. The Lotus Elise The development of the Lotus Seven was launched by Colin Chapman. Chapman had an idea of offering to the public a sports care with the qualities of a race car at an affordable price. The performance of the Lotus Seven would provide a unique driving experience that had light weight construction like a race car but not the use of a powerful and heavy engine. To achieve this goal, Chapman strategy was to “combine elements of knowledge, information, and creativity” to the Lotus Seven. (Stamm, 2008, Chapter Chapter 11, Collaborating-Innovation in Manufacturing). The processes of the Lotus Seven were simple, Chapman wanted the sports car to have two seats and an open top, and of course it had to be a fun car to drive. In 1993, Chapman’s design team consisted of Roger Becker; Head of Vehicle Engineering and Kenneth Sears; Head of Technology Strategy anticipated that this project would...

...After the class field trip to see Antes Manta at the flynn theater as well as getting a chance to see and hold the instrument, Chaichas, I knew that, they were what I wanted to make for my project. Chaichas, an instrument that is usually made out of llama or goat toe nails has a great sound, and to me is similar to a tambourine. This is an instrument that was used in almost all the songs played by Antes Manta during the concert that we attended. When attempting to recreate the Chaichas I ran into some obstacles. These obstacles include them falling apart, being too top heavy, and not being able to make the sound that I was going for. So when I took a slight break and tried again I had success. For the finally product that I have here today...

...Dog the Bounty Hunter Dog the Bounty Hunter not only captures criminals and puts them in jail; he tries to help them make their life better. Dog the Bounty Hunter is a reality television show on A&E that follows Duane “Dog” Chapman and his family on bounty hunts. When people miss court or try to bond jump; the judge puts out a bond revocation and then they must capture the criminal or they lose their money they put up to get the person out of jail. He encourages them to try to turn their lives around. This is part of society that most shows don’t show. He started his career 27 years ago after he spent 18 months in a Texas prison. Now he is living on the right side of the law because he doesn’t ever want to go back to prison. Dog has helped catch the most dangerous people, and even a high-profile rapist. “He credits most of his success from getting the most out of his informants.” He says “70% of all his captures happen because some ol’ American has turned them in by giving him information. He has the bondsman business with his wife “Beth” and their kids also work for him. They are located in Hawaii and even do bounty hunting in Denver Colorado. He helps fellow bondsman named Bobby Brown when he goes there to visit. They originally started in Denver but have since moved to Hawaii. They still do bounties in Denver but that is not their main focus. Every criminal that he captures, he uses his own past experiences to show the fugitives that they can change...

...THE ART OF FICTION by Henry James [Published in Longman's Magazine 4 (September 1884), and reprinted in Partial Portraits (Macmillan, 1888); paragraphing and capitalization follow the Library of America edition.] I SHOULD not have affixed so comprehensive a title to these few remarks, necessarily wanting in any completeness, upon a subject the full consideration of which would carry us far, did I not seem to discover a pretext for my temerity in the interesting pamphlet lately published under this name by Mr. Walter Besant. Mr. Besant's lecture at the Royal Institution--the original form of his pamphlet--appears to indicate that many persons are interested in the art of fiction and are not indifferent to such remarks as those who practise it may attempt to make about it. I am therefore anxious not to lose the benefit of this favourable association, and to edge in a few words under cover of the attention which Mr. Besant is sure to have excited. There is something very encouraging in his having put into form certain of his ideas on the mystery of story-telling. It is a proof of life and curiosity--curiosity on the part of the brotherhood of novelists, as well as on the part of their readers. Only a short time ago it might have been supposed that the English novel was not what the French call discutable. It had no air of having a theory, a conviction, a consciousness of itself behind it-of being the expression of an artistic faith, the result of choice and comparison. I do...

...Brokeback Mountain Annie Proulx Ennis is a man of few words, whose actions often speak for him. When Ennis meets Jack, he is saddled with responsibility, engaged to Alma, and at the mercy of a conservative Wyoming culture that has no place for a gay ranch hand. Yet Ennis has nowhere else to go and no other profession at which to try his hand. An orphaned high school dropout dependent on hardship funds and raised to be pragmatic, he is trapped in a life over which he has little control. Rather than run off with Jack and try to build a happy life, as Jack repeatedly suggests, Ennis considers the reality of it all: the violent opposition that would greet two gay ranchers living together, his marriage to Alma, his love for his daughters. The life he builds, which involves financial hardship and eventually child support, effectively prohibits him from escaping. Ennis is a prisoner of the life he has been born into. Without the financial wherewithal to escape, without any sort of community support for his sexual proclivities, and imbued with the belief that one must bear whatever one can’t fix, Ennis is fated to live out the rest of his life as a man who tasted happiness once but has never again reached that peak. Though it is Jack Twist who, we infer, is murdered by those who oppose his sexual orientation, it is Ennis Del Mar—living in his trailer, confined to a sad life on the broad, flat plains of Wyoming—who is the story’s tragic soul. Jack Twist Jack Twist is the more...

...“The Story of Stuff” is a short video created by The Story of Stuff project in 2007. In the video, writers Annie Leonard and Jonah Sachs describe the process of turning natural resources into consumer goods, then into waste. The writers describe a seemingly linear five-step process: extraction, production, distribution, consumption, and disposal. Leonard and Sachs describe a carefully-scripted culture of unsustainable consumption and waste. The extraction phase of “The Story of Stuff” refers to the removal of natural resources such as timber, natural gas, coal, oil, and water. The writers emphasize the unsustainability of this phase, especially in the United States. The video states that the United States holds 5% of the world’s population but uses 30% of the world’s natural resources and creates over 30% of the world’s waste. This is a staggering statistic. Four percent of the United States’ forests remain. FOUR PERCENT. How much longer will it be before trees are things read about in storybooks (digitally printed of course, as there are no more natural resources to harvest.) The production phase is described as the addition of toxic chemicals to natural resources in order to produce the “stuff” we want. Please note the use of the word “want,” not “need.” The authors note that over 100,000 synthetic chemicals are commercially available today and are regularly used in production. Of those 100,000 synthetic chemicals, very few have been tested in a significant way to measure...

...composition, which I will de-scribe even further later in this essay. Additionally, I will make a characterization of the per-sons, get around the use of supernatural elements and in the end explain how I have inter-preted the short story. The story is written in a 1st person narrator, who is Annie – the main character. The spoken language is unique because the story takes place in contemporary Northern Ireland, and the writer has chosen to show the Irish dialect in the spoken language. The language, especially when the father speaks, contains a lot of slang and unusual ways to pronounce the words. An example of this, appears in this quotation: ““What’s that oul’ shite you’re listening to?” he said, and near put me off the road. A twitter of a laugh: “That would deave you,” and his arm reached out, and turned down the dial.” (Page 5, line 133-135). The fact that the short story is written from the narrative’s perspective, gives the reader an opportunity to feel like he is inside An-nie’s head. Her narrative language is not very formal; as an example she calls her father “Dad-dy”. The story begins in medias res, because the reader is thrown directly into the action when Annie sees her dead father for the first time in the shower. The reader knows therefore right away that this short story especially is about someone’s relationship to his or her dead father. The main character’s name is not revealed before the reader gets to the middle of the story, which gives the reader...

...NSTP MOBILIZATION On January 21, 2012 at exactly 5:30AM we had departed TUP Manila and were on our way to Mt. Makiling for our NSTP Mobilization Program. The two hour drive from Manila to Los Baños, Laguna was actually pretty fun. The bus was full of laughter and I think everyone was excited for this program. We had arrived at our destination on 7:30AM. We first went to our designated tents to prepare our things and to rest for a bit. We then had our orientation about our assigned activities. On the first day we had team building and the dreaded obstacle course. We had team building first. We played ___________ where we had to make the ball roll continuously on a pipe and into a bucket. Of course, we had our game on and our competitive side had already shown but we still had fun while doing it. Next was the Minefield where all the team member must hold the big tarpaulin full of holes and we must keep 3 balls in it while it keep on moving in the tarpaulin without falling for a certain period of time or we must repeat again. It was actually really hard. We were so tensed and we kept on screaming every time a ball falls out. Our last game is called Helium Stick where we had a helium stick put over our index finger and we had to lower the stick without it leaving all our fingers. Sounds easy, Right? NO. It was actually really hard because the stick kept on floating on mid-air, pretty amazing yet annoying at the same time, but we made did it. Took us a while but we did it. The TEAM...

...Share the “COP” Model The COP model is a framework for discovering your sweet spot, or best fit within an organization. The model is comprised of three overlapping fields: competency, passion, and opportunity. The sweet spot is the section where all three of these arenas intersect. I presented it to Bob, another manager at my company and our discussion led to new perspectives and understandings of each of the three fields. Competency is defined as what you do well. There are many different ways to excel at a job. Bob labeled Jackson, his most tenured employee, as his most valuable worker. His group’s primary objective is to create data for software that helps estimate construction costs. Jackson has worked in residential and commercial construction for more than 20 years. His co-workers frequently rely on his expertise when making their own decision. However, Jackson lacks some technical skills and struggles to come to conclusions without the help of others. He is not the best employee at the typical assignments of his job. He succeeds, because he is very competent in the construction space and he can provide essential insights that no one else can. Excelling in areas crucial to a company’s performance, can be a very valuable asset, even if you lack more traditional skills. While discussing opportunity I asked Bob what the most important part of his job was. Opportunity is the marketability of your services or the activities that best meet the needs of the...

...500 Days of Annie Hall Romantic Comedy contains the favorable elements of both romance and comedy genres. Some notables are funny jokes and humorous plots, which surround a love story or the search of a true love. Woody Allen’s Annie Hall (1977) and Marc Webb’s 500 Days of Summer (2009) are both movies that fall under the genre “Romantic Comedy”. These two movies are connected in many ways, for each film contains relatable characters and effective narrative techniques to portray a realistic relationship. Each film is also able to portray the differences between the reality and expectations of a relationship in humorous ways that allow them to be called a romantic comedy. Alvy and Tom are two different characters with separate mindsets. In 500 Days of Summer, Tom Hansen, despite his passion to be an architect is an unmotivated greeting card writer who deeply believes in the concept of true love and soul mates. Whereas in Annie Hall, Alvy Singer is a pessimistic comedian and control freak that is seen changing things to benefit him. Both characters due to their attitudes on life and relationships bring forth different aspects that make them such unique and likable characters. Tom strongly believes that he will never be happy until he meets the person that he believes is ‘the one’ for him. Whereas with Alvy he pushes Annie and doesn’t fully accept either Annie’s insecurities or support her as she finds ways to work through them. Summer and Annie, like their male counterparts...
