...The Duggar family has always suggested they shared their lives on “19 Kids and Counting” to show how they lived their lives and offer a glimpse at their religion. Almost always they flatly denied it was for the fame or the cash. Since the show isn’t on TLC anymore, it could be that the Duggar family has a new agenda. According to InTouch magazine on Friday, one of the family members seen on the show, Amy Duggar, is asking for engagement gifts. The shock of begging for gifts had some fans going bonkers. The ridiculous idea that an engaged woman would put her address on Instagram to get people to send her stuff is not only offensive, but reveals an entirely different side of what the Duggar family is really about. There is no doubt that Amy Duggar’s...

...Juan C. Banegas November 23, 2015 Journal Entry #1 “Accomplishments” Writing for the most part can be a pretty tedious task, never the less it is part of my daily living. Most of my current writing is done for school essays or work purposes. Having to write detailed professional field reports for supervisors and managers to read. I think the hardest part for me when composing essays has always been the initial development and getting started. Making sense of what is in my thoughts and translating those ideas clearly on paper. Often times, I think really hard into it and just coming up with that opening sentence to catch my reader’s attention can truly frustrate me. Once I get started there is nothing stopping me at that point. I just let the flow of thoughts and ideas smoothly translate into my essay while still making sense and sticking to my main objective, which is sticking to central idea and not getting off topic. As I been told many times over, the main purpose of composing is to send a direct clear message across to the reader. Once I have reached the conclusion of my essay, I feel a sense of true accomplishment and pride in my essay. I have successfully pass the initial hurdle. Then comes the easy part which is the revision of the first draft. The revising process is piece of cake and where all the fun starts. Going back proofreading and making all necessary adjustments in order to have a solid and well polish essay is the goal. One of my greatest...

...To whom it may concern: On June the 7th I was afforded the occasion to ride with one of our newer part-time hires. Tammy Noone initially seemed like a pleasant young lady, soft spoken and seemed both eager to learn and also upfront admitting that she was not a seasoned veteran of EMS. She immediately asked me how I liked to run calls as far as attendant/driver responsibilities which we discussed for a few moments. My initial impression I would soon find was far from reality. Just to start I will try and lay things out based on a call by call basis however, some things were a problem on every call and I will start with those as follows. Tammy’s driving ability leaves a terribly lot to be desired. She is hard on the brakes, hard on the gas and Bugs Bunny has a better sense of direction. I honestly began to wonder if she knew her left from her right. Continually I was having to tell her multiple times where to turn, only to have her start turning the wrong direction. I understand not knowing her way around a new area can make it difficult to arrive at a location but she lacks the know how to follow simple directions appropriately. Following in suit with her driving she is erratic and seems to have no confidence in her ability to drive in traffic at all. Several times people just stopped in the middle of the road to let us pass based, solely on the fact that I believe they were scared to do anything else for fear that she might hit them. She takes turns to fast which...

...Reaction paper to The Wife of Bath Prologue I love The Wife of Bath. The tale features a character that seems to resemble a feminist. But in Chaucer’s time, feminism was something completely crazy and the pilgrims reacted negatively to it. Even though the pilgrims thought she was bonkers, The Wife of Bath had no fear about displaying herself as she really was. She wasn't ashamed of the fact she had been married five times, and was about to marry again. She hid nothing. She was fierce. In the prologue that I read, the pilgrim did not see the Wife of Bath as an upstanding woman, but she didn't desire to be seen as what one would call an “upstanding woman.” Almost as soon as she began speaking in the prologue, she explained that she had gone through five husbands, and she was on the look out for a sixth. The Wife says that she married for money: "...I’ll tell the truth. Those husbands I had, three of them were good and two of them bad. The three I call “good” were rich and old.” The Wife even goes on saying that she didn’t value her husbands’ love. Then again, why should she have to? She received everything her female heart desired: money, control, and power. She swears if all women were be the controlling factors in marriage, they too would gain their husbands’ money. The The Wife for Bath's character reminds me of many women I know, but one really sticks out at the moment, and that's Blanche Deboroe from the 80s sitcom “The Golden Girls.” The Wife of Bath claims that if women...

...had told him not being creative is okay. However, a few years later she told him that he should worry about it and try harder. He started dating Ruth in their teens however being the selfish pusher she is, she was mean to him on many occasions. Some point in their lives they broke up and he met Kathy and started dating her. That's when Ruth gave the address to Madame so they could get their deferral but to be told it did not exist. Tommy throws his last tantrum, why, the reader will never know because it is from Kath's perspective however Kath always thought he knew more than the rest of the students in Hailsham and perhaps that was his way of rebelling against the system. “I was thinking about back then, at Hailsham, when you used to go bonkers like that, and we couldn’t understand it. We couldn’t understand how you could ever get like that. . . . I was thinking maybe the reason you used to get like that was because at some level you always knew. . . . That’s a funny idea. Maybe I did know, somewhere deep down. Something the rest of you didn’t.” (Never Let Me Go 22) Ruth had always friends in her early childhood in contrast to Tommy who was an outcast. Similarly, both saw Kathy as their good friend also they both die and completing their supposed purpose in their life. In short,aside from Kathy, the most important characters are Ruth and Tommy because they represented dreams, desires, jealousy, anger, pleasure and all the things that makes one human. They all died from donating...

...Mental Illness Ellen is a 35 year old laboratory technician, she is happily married and has a beautiful three-year-old daughter Emily. Unfortunately in the last three years she has been unable to enjoy her life or her family as well as she wants to. She has been suffering from a severe form of Postnatal Depression which has forced her to leave her job and spend eleven months in a psychiatric hospital. While now on the road to recovery, Ellen admits that the hardest part of her illness is coping with the attitude of others: "I had no history of mental illness prior to my daughter being born. I was happy and successful in life but now I find myself being treated as an alien. People, including family and friends, seem not to know what to say to me - so they say nothing. Little is known by the majority of folk about "clinical depression", so you're treated as an outcast". 1) Poor mental health is something which will probably affect everyone of us to some degree, either directly or indirectly, at sometime during our lives. 2) But despite the fact that mental disorder is classified as an "illness" which can be "treated" just like physical illness, many psychiatric patients can identify with Ellen's experience of feeling like an outcast. 3) Society can be very uncomfortable around those with mental health problems and as a result, there is a general reluctance among people to admit to mental distress or to reveal that one has been hospitalised, taken medication or had...

...Regenerative Brakes INTRODUCTION: Stop... start... stop... start. If you make a habit of driving in city traffic, you'll know it can be a huge waste of time. What's less obvious is that it's also a huge waste of energy. Getting a car moving needs a big input of power, and every time you hit the brakes all the energy you've built up disappears again, wasted in the brake pads as heat. Wouldn't it be good if you could store this energy somehow and reuse it next time you started to accelerate? That's the basic concept of regenerative brakes.What are they? How do they work? Let's take a closer look! Why does braking waste energy? [pic] If you get about town on a bicycle, it's very obvious that braking is a huge waste of energy. You have to peddle to get yourself going, and each time you brake and come to a standstill you waste all the momentum you've gained. Next time you want to move off, you have to start from scratch all over again. Put your hands anywhere near the brake pads on a bicycle and you'll know exactly where the energy goes: each time you brake and the rubber pads clamp on the wheel, friction between rubber and metal converts the energy you had when you were moving into heat, which disappears uselessly into the air, never to be seen again. (WARNING: Be very careful if you try this because brakes can get really hot!) Car drivers are pretty much oblivious to the energy that braking wastes because driving doesn't require any real, physical...

The work considers such branches of grammar as morphology and syntax and is concerned with the two levels of word relations. A word as a part of the language system is considered on two levels: 1) the syntagmatic level; 2) the paradigmatic level. On the paradigmatic level it is the relationship with other words in the vocabulary system. On the syntagmatic level the semantic structure of a word is analyzed in its linear relationships...

He will be met by four hulking joined-up towers of glass, metal, and concrete, sandwiched between the Victorian splendors of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, to the east, and a pretty five-story residential block, to the west. This is One Hyde Park, which its developers insist is the world’s most exclusive address and the most expensive residential development ever built anywhere on earth. With apartments selling for up to $214 million, the building began to smash world per-square-foot price records when sales opened, in 2007. After quickly shrugging off the global financial crisis the complex has come to embody the central-London real-estate market, where, as high-end property consultant Charles McDowell put it, “prices have gone bonkers.” From the Hyde Park side, One Hyde Park protrudes aggressively into the skyline like a visiting spaceship, a head above its red-brick and gray-stone Victorian surroundings. Inside, on the ground floor, a large, glassy lobby offers what you’d expect from any luxury intercontinental hotel: gleaming steel statues, thick gray carpets, gray marble,...

Photo: Adam Nemser/photolink.net/Newscom After a tough first year at an Ivy League university, 20-year-old Sarah was looking forward to relaxing over the summer. Unfortunately, her parents made that impossible. "My dad's an alcoholic, and my mom's addicted to dating alcoholics," the Stanford, California, native says. "They're divorced, and my dad is broke, so I had to help him get government assistance. Meanwhile, I needed to deal with my mom's drama about the terrible guys she chooses." Between running her mom's dating life and managing her dad's finances, Sarah was exhausted by summer's end—and relieved to return to college thousands of miles away. "I can't do much from here, so I can't feel guilty," she says. These days countless teens like Sarah, who are coping with irresponsible parents, are forced to step in as the mature party. "When parents refuse to act like adults, it creates a power vacuum. Someone has to fill that space, and most often it's the teen son or daughter...
