...multiplayer online battle arena where players control a "champion"[6] in order to be matched in a short PvP battle or bot game. As of February 27, 2014, there are 118 different Champions from which to choose. Players gain levels from killing the opposing team's Champions, controlled by other players or bots, and minions that regularly spawn and attack the other team's turrets, minions, and champions. In the classic game mode, the map is typically divided into "lanes", which are paths that spawned minions take, the "jungle", an area between lanes where neutral monsters spawn, and "bases", where players spawn and can purchase items. The primary map, Summoner's Rift, features three lanes, commonly referred to as top lane, where bruisers (partially damage, partially tanky) and tank type champions tend to go. Mid lane, where assassins and burst damage carries tend to go, and bot lane, where the ranged DPS (damage per second) carries and their supports tend to go. The jungle is sometimes considered a lane, where an assassin or tank champion tends to roam in order to collect buffs and assist in the other lanes freely. The player earns a small amount of gold every second passively, but can earn more by getting the last hit on minions, destroying enemy towers (referred to as turrets) that guard the lanes, neutral monsters located in the jungle, and killing enemy champions. With this gold, users can buy a variety of items to strengthen their champion for the duration of the game. On the classic Summoners...

...Throughout the entire film there was a lot of unsportsmanlike conduct, intimidation, and no gamesmanship going on. One coach permitted it (Coach Penning - Arizona) and the other one did not (Coach Gelwix - Highland). In Arizona, Rick was the star of his rugby team which was coached by his father. He was living the life until he decided to make an unreasonable decision and drinking as a minor and also deciding to drive while under the influence. He then crashed the car while under the influence and severely injured his girlfriend, this landed him in court and he was sent to the Salt Lake City juvenile center. Rick met a guy named Marcus Tate that works in the juvenile center as his overseer for his behavior to report back to the judge. As soon as Rick got into the center he got into a fight and started to be basically a bully. Marcus took Rick to Highland to play Rugby. Rick did not like it there and did not want to be a part of anything they did whether it was for the team or community. Kurt, one of the Highland rugby players and captains took an interest into helping Rick and trying to make him a better person and make him comfortable on the team. It took some time but Rick became a part of the team and wanting to do any and everything with and for the team. After a game, some of the players were driving home and they pulled over to the side of the road to help a woman and children with a flat tire. While Kurt was changing the tire, a drunk driver hit and killed him. It...

...knowledge and savvy back to the MMA community and continue moving forward with plans. Congratulations! We thought we lost another manager to the other world that takes so many away. So let's talk about Caged Rage 2: Redemption. What can we expect? Excitement! Excitement in each fight. I do my best at match making. The CFA is establishing a great relationship with Paddy O'Malleys Bar venue. The CFA is here to stay I am always talking to fighters about being a part of the CFA. Many are skeptical but I’m confident they will come around. So when will the CFA fans see the vacant Champion slots in each weight class be secured. I mean you have to have a champion for others to take down. Funny you mentioned that, I’ve had a couple of managers already put their bid in for a title fight in their respective divisions. Just to give you a little insight I am in the process of putting an event together so the Champions can be crowned. I’m sure once the belts are handed out and the champs are crowned the CFA will have arrived. As we...

...concepts of a standard game of League of Legends. First you queue into matchmaking and once a game is found a lobby is put together in which the players are split into two teams of five and put into Champion Select where, as described, players start to select "Champions". "Champions" are characters that you play in the game that have 4 active abilities and a passive ability as well as different play styles. There are 6 main play styles or roles which include Tank, Fighter, Assassin, Mage, Marksman, and Support. There are also 4 positions that a Champion can fall into such as top lane, middle lane, bottom lane which consists of two champions, and jungle. After each player has selected a Champion the players are then transported to a magical arena called Summoner's Rift. Summoner's Rift consists of three lanes and a jungle as I previously stated. Top lane is usually played by Fighter or Tanks, Mid Lane has Assassins or Mages, Bot lane is a duo lane that has a pair played by a Marksman and a Support, and Jungle can be played by different types of champions but depend on the type of abilities. Now for the game objectives and how to obtain victory. Lanes continuously spawn minions which push lanes forward and when defeated yield gold which can be used to buy items to upgrade your Champion and experience that can be used to augment abilities and base stats. Minions also act as a buffer to take towers. Towers target and...

...A champion is someone who comes out victorious when competing against other people or going after something they really want. There are many different characteristics of champions that make them winners, and the good news is these characteristics are not magical or unachievable by ordinary people. They are human characteristics that everyone has access to. If you don't have them yet, you just need to understand why they are so important and then put in the practice needed to develop them. And, they do take practice. You can't just turn on a certain trait because you want it to. You have to change your beliefs around that trait and then use techniques and tools to help you develop it. Then, you need to work on maintaining it so that it becomes...

This was mainly due to the rigorous training towards the UDO World Championships in Glasgow Scotland. Rehearsals lasted three hours on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Paid shows took place during the weekends. This gave us a chance to perform our piece to a number of different crowds which helped towards the final show. We then travelled to Glasgow via coach. I received my GCSE results during the journey and this set a positive tone. The coach arrived in Glasgow at 23:00 leaving us tired and ready for bed.

...your team’s objective is to best the enemy players, destroy the turrets leading up to the base and destroy the enemy nexus. The nexus the source of power in the bases and destruction of it causes a win for the team that destroyed it. The meta is seen as generally the correct way to play, although people can branch off and start their own metas, it’s generally uncommon that they replace the main meta. The current meta is a solo top lane, solo mid, duo bot and a jungler. Each lane is tasked with beating their opponent and collecting gold by killing creeps. The jungler, however, roams around the jungle between lanes and comes out every now and then to ambush a lane to get a kill. Creeps reward gold whenever one is killed. Killing an enemy champion also rewards the player with a large amount of gold. Gold is used to buy weapons from the base to increase your champion’s attacks. While this helps, having all the weapons you...

...CASE STUDY: JOHNSON & JOHNSON Johnson & Johnson (J&J) is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of health care products. The fundamental objective of the company is to provide scientifically sound, high-quality products and services to help heal the sick, cure disease, and improve the quality of life. In mid-2000, J&J made a strategic decision to merge two research and development organizations in the Pharmaceuticals Group. Departments in the Robert Wood Johnson Pharmaceutical Research Institute, headquartered in New Jersey, and the Janssen Research Foundation, headquartered in Belgium, were integrated to create a leading-edge global function called the Drug Evaluation (DE) organization. DE’s purpose is to rapidly generate data that allows J&J to make the best investment decisions about the drug portfolio. In the overall R&D process, the group is the bridge between discovery of new compounds and full development of a new drug. As a group, they are responsible for investigating all compounds that may be potential new products and making data-driven decisions in collaboration with the discovery and full-development groups. The highest-quality and highest-potential discovery compounds are quickly and efficiently moved through preclinical development and into initial human trials. DE employees experience a genuine and unique opportunity to shape the R&D pipeline in J&J and ultimately influence patient well-being. It is an exciting and challenging...

...seminar goes on. The prayer that was led by one of its member made the start of the seminar in good atmosphere. Even the singing of our national anthem was nice. The creativity of the group was shown with the way they arrange and decorated the rooms were the seminar was held. It was simple but very attractive to the eye of the audience. The only thing that I noticed that was quite not good was the seminar wasn’t smooth flowing. There are unwanted interruptions that cause the audience to wait. I commend the speakers for they did their best in leading the said seminar but I noticed that there were quite some time that they’ve forgotten the next thing to do that causes another delay to the continuity of the seminar. But if I will be asked if it was successful or not, for me it is definitely a successful one. The speaker has a good poise and I noticed that the audience really listened well unto what the speaker is saying. I also salute the group for having such a admirable speaker with her experience in the said field, she was able to discuss in a good way the experiences she had and the things we must consider before we decide to enter a certain field of nursing. I was amazed with how dedicated she was in her 17 years in the service. The seminar that the group conducted gave us the whole picture of what to expect if we enter military nursing. To end this, I commend the group for I know they have worked hard for this like how the other group did. TEAM= Together Everyone Achieves...

...My Lips Have Kissed” In the poem “What Lips My Lips Have Kissed” by Edna St. Vincent Millay, there is a theme of loneliness and regret. The speaker is a woman looking back with melancholy reflection to the days of her youth when her life was full of hope and the promise of love. She remembers she once had lovers but she cannot recall them individually. Now she is alone left with only regret: for the unremembered faces of her past, for the passing of her youth, and for the loneliness of her life now. The speaker regrets her inability to remember “What lips [her] lips have kissed” (Line 1). No special man or moment comes to her mind. Her memories of her former glory days haunt her. Although she cannot recall any of her lovers in particular, she hears them as she listens to the rain; unclear faces in her mind like “ghosts…that tap and sigh / Upon the glass” (ll. 3-4). Her heart aches for the “unremembered lads” that had once shared her bed. (l.7). She regrets her youth is now behind her. She compares herself to the seasons with her youth as “summer” (l.13) which is warm and green. Now she is in the time of “winter” (l.9), stark, bleak, and dreary. Those days when she was young and carefree she thought would last forever; but looking back, they seemed to have lasted only “a little while”(14). The speaker is alone: “In winter stands the lonely tree” (l.9). She cannot remember “What loves have come and gone” (l.12). She did not find that one special person...

...deal with stress, grief, loss, risk, and other difficulties. The reader is able to see that something throughout the marriage wasn’t good by interpreting line 12 "And by the fire and smoke of our nights", which shows they didn’t have peaceful nights. In line one “You thought I was that type”, the speaker is saying that someone took the wrong perception of her character by basing it off of things that wasn’t true ending up taking her for someone she really wasn’t. In line two “that you could forget me”, the speaker is saying that they couldn’t ever forget her since they made up their own view of what role she played in their life. In line three “and that I’d plead and weep and throw myself”, the speaker is saying that she tried to do everything she could think of to make herself be the one for this person but nothing would work so in result she was in sorrow. In line four, “under the hooves of a bay mare”, the speaker is saying that she would try to hide herself from all the pain she had the best way she could. In the next stanza the speaker goes on to explain what she needed and wanted to do in the situation throughout the poem. In line five, “or that I’d ask the sorcerers”, the speaker is saying that she didn’t know the answers to the questions she had so she would ask someone who is believed or claims to have magical...

...How does Aaron Hill use memory to combine generalised moralising with personalised lament in the poem in list B? Use close reading to support your points. In the poem ‘Alone, in an Inn, at Southampton’, by Aaron Hill, the speaker recounts the memories he once shared with his wife whilst staying in a room at a guesthouse before her death. He is now writing as a widower in the same room twenty years later and he expresses his feelings of anguish by projecting specific memories of his wife on to objects within the room, before going on to make broad statements on morality and the vices of life. The poem could be said to be split into three parts, the first section being the speakers lament for his wife, the second section outlining his now changed philosophical outlook on life, and the third detailing his resolution which concludes the poem. This essay aims to show, through close reading, how the protagonist of the poem combines his personal memories and feelings of sorrow with his own general moralising about life’s hardships. The first section of the poem begins as a simple lament, as the speaker remembers his wife and the happiness she brought him and contrasts it with the emptiness and loneliness which he feels now in her absence: “Twenty lost years have stoln their hours away, Since, in this inn, ev’n in this room, I lay: How chang’d! what then was rapture, fire, and air, Seems now sad silence all, and blanc despair!” In the opening lines, Hill describes...

...written by Elizabeth Bishop about her own story when she catches a huge fish while she is in a rented boat. After she catches the fish, she holds it up half out of the water. The fish looks pretty ugly, tired, and old with “shapes like full-blown roses, stained and lost through age” (lines 14-15). Algae is growing on it, and she realizes that the fish has five fishing hooks with the lines still partially attached hanging from its jaw. The speaker start to think how tough this fish must be and how much the fish probably fought through his life to survive. She begins to respect the fish. The story takes a final turn when she lets the fish go. The Theme of the poem is that great lessons can be learned from simple situations in life like a normal day fishing in the ocean. At first the speaker says “I caught a tremendous fish” (1). That is a simple description, then the speaker gives some detail about the fish and how it looks “his brown skin hung like strips like ancient wall-paper”. At this point, the fish is nothing special. After that, the speaker begins to examine the fish more closely, and she imagines the inside of the fish “dramatic reds and blacks,”(30) and a “pink swim-bladder.”(32) The fact that she is using her imagination in connection with the fish implied that the fish has a meaning behind simply being caught. The narrator learned from the persistence and dedication that the fish has. The fish has been caught five time as his fishing hooks shows, and he has survived....

...exploited based on her gender is the essay’s central irony. Brand offers a narrative structure that allows the reader to empathize with the speaker—to experience an emotional response that reflects that of the speaker. She accomplishes this response by withholding information until a crucial moment, by varying sentence length and control to reflect emotions, and by repeating certain images throughout the essay. [Thesis statement] Brand opens her essay by outlining the series of events that lead her to seek employment at an office on Keele Street in Toronto. She recounts how she secures—by telephone—an interview for the following day; she then recounts her careful preparations for the interview and her arrival at the office on the day of the interview. Suddenly—and apparently inexplicably—she is told that the job no longer exists. Just as it dawns on the speaker that the reason she is unacceptable for the position is her race, it also dawns on the reader. Brand, with careful rhetorical manipulation of structure, mimics the speaker’s epiphany in the reader by withholding the information that the speaker is black. [Topic sentence] Indeed, the first mention of the speaker’s race comes after her rejection as she makes her escape and laughs “that laughter that Black people get, derisive and self-derisive” (74). Before the non-interview, the speaker sees herself as neutral in terms of race (interestingly, not in...
