...Pedro Baez Pol 72: Prof: V. GRAVELLI 12/03/2014 Final Paper The Challengers of the Homeless Minority Family Across the United States some people are living in the street corners, subway trains station and homeless shelters because they have nowhere else to go in New York City. Although the majority of studies have found homeless children are evidence greater problems than low-income housed children, results are inconsistent. Factors that may account for these discrepant findings are discussed, and recommendations for additional research are offered. Being homeless is no joke because they don’t have the luxury of being in stable home of their own which often they ask for help from other people like spear any lose change, leftover food or mostly a place to sleep. The basic problem of homelessness is the human need for personal shelter, warmth and safety, which can be literally vital. Other basic difficulties include personal security, quiet, and privacy, especially for sleeping, safekeeping of bedding, clothing and possessions. Homeless people don’t have much to carrier at all times like hygiene and shaving facilities or even obtaining preparing and storing food in small quantities. Some time trying to keep in contacts with family without a permanent location or mailing address also hostility and legal powers against urban vagrancy.

...Jarrett Evans Mrs. Johnson English III – P.7 14 May 2013 Dripping Swag My research paper is over the career of Fashion Design. I chose this topic, because I have always had a desire to one day have my own clothing line and see other people support me by wearing my creations. Also because I like to mix different articles of clothing and create my own unique style to go out and express to the world. This paper will highlight the details about a fashion designer, like what type of education you need, skills required, the work environment, and their salaries. Fashion Design is a career where people express and use their creative ideas to create the best clothing on the market. For many of years the practice of changing the style of clothing has become common around the world. Fashion Designing has been around for many years “People wore garments to help them maintain body temperatures, dress design became a profession around the 1600’s” (“Fashion Designers”). The clothing business really started to escalate when the sewing machine was founded back in the day, designing clothes hasn’t been the same ever since. Education is not heavily looked upon in the field of Fashion Design. One article claims that “You can be successful without going to high school.” (Vogt. Peter). A student who does attend high school should take courses that express creativity like drawing, art, or even computer aided design. This would benefit them and give designers a head start. After graduating...

...Thomas Annunziato Professor Eglevsky Eng. 101 12 March 2013 Space Exploration And Everyday Life The United States is in debt, about 14 trillion bucks out of the game.(whitehouse.gov) And we have about 12 million individuals out of work.(BLS) So what are we doing about it? Here in the good ole U.S. of A. we have this thing called the sequester which is set up to limit the federal budget, you know to put a cap on things makes sense right? But doesn't the government fund programs that keeps its citizens employed? The answer is yes that's the whole point of stimulus programs and in some way or another government's whole budget. So when the government gets together and looks at what to cut for the sequester they seem to weigh what seems to be important to the people and what's not important. The disturbing result is the lack of funding and respect space programs get. I know, I know the "fact" that the moon is mad of cheese is good enough for a lot of people and seems to satisfy the masses but I have news for you NASA and the drive of space exploration has given the people of the world more than just the real truth of what the moon is made of. A 1999 Gallup poll found that 18 percent of American adults believed that the sun revolved around earth with 3 percent unsure.(Andrews). Not only that according to a 2004 Science Foundation study 32 percent of adults thought that astrology was either "sort of scientific" or "very scientific".(Andrews). How...

BSA-1 (Block 1) Submitted to: Mrs. Rochie Montes English 2 Teacher How to Maintain Friendship (Process) In our lives, there are many people who are surrounding around that is being attached to us and these people are what we called friends. A friend can be classified into two: a friend with benefits and the other one is called a true friend. A friend with benefits is type of a friend which is there beside you when they can get something from you or taking advantage on you while a true friend is there beside you most especially when you are in down or in times of problems and struggles you are encountering. A true friend will never, ever leave you no matter what happens! It’s not important whether he is miles apart from you, as a true friend will always have you in his heart forever. So distance should really not matter. A true friend will always believe in you even though you no longer believe in yourself. He will always bring out the best in you. A true friend will not need any explanation as he will always understand. And most of all, a true friend is someone who is willing to share his time with you. Maintaining the relationship with this kind of person is a must because having him in our lives is a great help for us in facing challenges and difficulties in life.

...around you would have thought there would be a cure for it. If no one likes mean people, why are people so mean? Do we only pretend not to like mean people? This problem has escalated over the years, and has become more prevalent with todays technology. An example of this is seen in the scene of the movie Carrie. Carrie was a religious girl who was sheltered from wordly things. She did not know what her period was. She was taking a shower in the schools locker room when it happned. She ran over to the other girls screaming and crying. They then began to throw tampons at her. The leader of the group then began to record it and put it on youtube. The video was labled Bloody Mary. This resulted in the girl being banned from prom. On prom night she swiched the ballots so it looked liked Carrie and another boy were king and queen. When Carrie took her position on stage they poured pigs blood on her from a bucket hanging above her. They then started to play the video. Carrie took out her embarrassment and anger through her telekinesis. She then killed most of her classmates including her mother and herself. There is another incident of cyber bullying. This example happned in real life. There was a college age boy who grew up in a religious house hold. He was experimenting in college sexually. He wanted to see what if would be like to be with a man. His roommate recorded him preforming sexual acts with a guy with a hidden camera and posted it on a...

...41 SMART WAYS TO SAVE MONEY PRESENTED BY WWW.82INVEST.COM www.82invest.com One of the quickest ways to improve your finances is to reduce your expenses and find more ways to save money. This book is a compilation of various money saving tips that have been published over the years. 1. COMBINE YOUR CABLE, INTERNET AND TELEPHONE SERVICE. Companies now offer combined services that not only cost less, but offer the convenience of a single bill. Called a Triple Play Package (Cable, Internet, and Phone), these combined service deals can save you a bundle. 2. SLOW DOWN YOUR INTERNET SERVICE. I went to the slower internet service option with my cable company and saved $15 per month. And I haven’t noticed a difference when surfing the Net. 3. CONVERT TO A GAS WATER HEATER. They are more efficient and will save you money in the long run. 4. REFINANCE YOU MORTGAGE. If you can reduce your interest rate by one percent or more, it is often beneficial to refinance. This is particularly true for those with high rates due to less than stellar credit scores. If your score has improved, you may qualify for a better rate. I would start by asking your current mortgage lender about lower rates. 5. GET YOUR BOOKS AND DVDS FROM THE LIBRARY. I love books and read every day. While I buy some of the books I read, most come from the library. Simply put, it’s hard to beat free. Many libraries now have movies on DVD that can be checked out. If your library offers this service,...

Kanyam resort lays aside the beautiful tea garden of Kanyam, Ilam. One could view the scenic views of Nepal as well as Indian hills when sky is clear. The climate was very cool when they reached. He was deeply dragged by the green hills. He beheld beautiful hills on the horizon, veiled partly with clouds….gurgling sound of small rivulet, chirping of birds etc. etc. Simpson wondered why people fancy leaving such a beautiful place and fly abroad. Ecologically speaking, he is in such a place where numerous rare species regard it a safer habitat to live in. Economically speaking, he is in a third world with a remittance-fed economy. But geopolitically speaking, he is in such a strategic location where power centers prefer to play. And statistically speaking, he was in south Asia where half of the world’s poor people live in. However spiritually speaking, every black cloud has silver lining. Dr. Simpson was mechanically sipping a handmade tea of Kanyam. He came to the real world when editor broke the silence. ‘So, how can I help you sir?’ editor told. ‘I am preparing a research paper on “How to stop brain drain from conflicting nations?’’ I’ve heard much from Kathmanduize about Hope magazine.

Ultimately, the Supreme Court of the United States overturned Arthur Andersen’s conviction of "knowingly...corruptly persuading another person to withhold or alter documents in an official proceeding" (Wojdacz, 2009). However, Arthur Andersen had imploded and was not able to recover. Founder and His Principles Arthur Andersen was founded December 11, 1913. Arthur Andersen had a reputation of exemplary honesty. Arthur Andersen himself came from an immigrant Norwegian family. He worked for Price Waterhouse. At 23, Andersen became the youngest certified public accountant (CPA) in the state of Illinois by educating himself at night (Marotta & Selman, 2009). At this time, CPAs were trying to establish accounting as a profession. Marotta and Selman (2009) stated Integral to the mythology of Arthur Andersen is the encounter between the founder and a client who wanted different numbers on his books. Declaring that there was not enough money in Chicago to buy his honesty, Andersen left his client, a bold move for a fledgling (“Investigation, Trial, and Appeal”, para 2). “Think straight. Talk straight.” That was the firm’s motto. The motto was continued even...

TEST-TAKER VIEWING BEHAVIOR DURING AN L2 VIDEO LISTENING TEST Paginated PDF Version Elvis Wagner Teachers College, Columbia University ABSTRACT The accessibility of video technology has made it possible to utilize both the auditory and visual channels to present listening texts in the second language (L2) classroom and on L2 listening tests. However, there has been little research investigating the extent to which L2 listeners actually watch the video monitor when presented with a listening video text. The current study investigated test-taker behavior on an L2 video listening test. Thirty-six test-takers were videotaped while taking a listening test composed of six separate video texts, and the amount of time test-takers made eye contact with the video monitor was computed. An analysis of the data indicated that the group of participants oriented to the video monitor 69% of the time while the video text was played. In addition, the study yielded valuable information concerning the consistency of the test-takers’ viewing behavior. INTRODUCTION Traditionally, the aural input for second language (L2) listening tasks has been delivered by a teacher reading aloud a text for the students. Later, as audio technology developed, a text was recorded on audiotape and played for students. However, with the advent and dissemination...
