...1) Yes, they were believable and realistic. The interaction and chemistry between mother and daughter were believable because of how they were coping and responding to one another, it seemed like real emotions. How the volume of their voice would go higher and lower depending on the mood and their hand gestures were accurate to their emotions. For example, when Edna Turnblad was angry with Tracy Turnblad, her daughter, Edna’s hand gestures would move a lot, be raised up or even pointing to her daughter, as if Edna was really mad at Tracy. Facial expressions in this play made it easier to believe the characters were real because when certain characters would be angry, their facial expressions would be eye squinting and nose crunching and other characters would react and respond to these expressions so well that really drove me to believe that they were real. The reaction of other characters would differ from the emotions given by another character, whether a character is being funny, fierce, serious, joyful or angry. 2) All the characters were related to one another, and it did seem like they were related in real life with real relationships. They all listened and responded to every character and their reactions would be as accurate as mine would be if those situations were to happen to me. They came together powerfully as an ensemble because out of all the songs and dances in this musical, I did not see a single mistake or error. The choreography and melody were perfectly...

...age is 12. Another lifestyle difference is what the U.S conducted a study where questions on binge drinking were asked every thirty days, whereas in Canada, the question was associated for every twelve. Here in the U.S, our mortality rate among HIV survivors is very high. In Canada, the mortality rate is lower due to the high number of teenagers. These are just a few examples of “friendly” countries with similar, yet huge lifestyle differences. But not all friendships fall into the same category of lifestyles. People tend to view others as having the same personalities because they can not see how two very different people can be friends. For example, in the book titled “Between Friends” by author Debbie Macomber, two very people with tow very different lifestyles cross paths and it doesn’t seem to stop them at all. Lesley, born from high school sweetheart parents lives with five siblings, an alcoholic...

...These are the two major piece of legislation discussed in the Senate yesterday. CHARTER BANK LEGISLATION The Senate Budget and Appropriations Committee heard testimonies from government officials on a bill that would allow the government to set up the charter bank — named the Territorial Bank of American Samoa. While there was support of the bill from some senators, others also cautioned the government to trend carefully into getting such financial institution up and running until all pros and cons are thoroughly review. The Territorial Bank of American Samoa, or TBAS, “will serve as the government’s bank, as well as accept deposits from and make loans to the community at large,” Governor Lolo Matalasi Moliga says.The governor said the tentative schedule for opening of the bank is June this year, but this schedule is dependent on the approval of legislation allowing the government to set up the Charter Bank, which will fill the void left behind when Bank of Hawai’i finally closed down all operations in the territory. The House has an identical Charter Bank bill which will be a subject of a committee hearing next Tuesday. Questions: 1.) Do you support the bill to set up the charter bank? Why? 2.) How do you think this bank will benefit the people in our district? 3.) People don’t seem to understand that if this bank does open, and they make deposits their money won’t be insured. How do you think our community will look at that? 4.) Given the history of...

...Work Sheet for ”Debbie & Julie” Short story by Doris Lessing, 1987 A 1. How does Julie look? - Julie is a young pregnant girl, normally small of size but because of the pregnancy she perceives herself as fat in the mirror. We are not giving that much information about her looks, but she is smaller than Debbie. 2. What do you think the paperback (p. 2, 1. 5) is about? - it’s a book about pregnancy and giving birth. Julie uses the book as guidance. 3. What is in Julie´s carrier bag (see p. 3, 1. 13 - 19)? - in her well-prepared bag, Julie carries a torch, pieces of string wrapped in a piece of plastic, two pairs of knickers, a cardigan, a thick towel with an old blouse of Debbie´s, some sanitary pads and two guest towels. 4. Why does Julie feel full of trouble and worry and ill-prepared (p. 3, 1. 21)? - Julie is not sure why she feels the way she does, it could be because she´s afraid what would happen to herself and the unborn child. 5. How does Debbie earn her living? - Debbie could be a prostitute or escort, she has many “visits” from many different men, and she travels to New York with a man. Julie and Debbie have a strange relationship. It seems like Julie is relying on Debbie to take care of her as she did at first when Julie arrived to the city. Debbie always paid for Julie and taught her about life and men - from her own point of view. Debbie’s motto in life was “Take what you want and don’t pay for it” (p. 3 l. 30) but Julie knows better regardless...

...Thematic Paper on MDG 1 ERADICATE EXTREME POVERTY AND HUNGER 2000 2010 2005 FOREWORD I am extremely pleased to introduce this set of analytical papers on the Millennium Development Goals1. The papers were produced by the member agencies of the UN Development Group Task Force on the MDGs, working in clusters. Each paper had one or more lead agencies and a set of member agencies in support. The Task Force was also able to draw on the ideas, experience and advice of a considerable range of other agencies and experts, including from Non-Governmental, academic and other sectors. A peer review process was held to move towards the final versions, which incorporated detailed and rich discussions on the ideas generated by the papers. In this effort, the central intention of the Task Force was to try to identify promising or successful experiences in country efforts to move towards the various Goals, and to gain understanding of the factors contributing to this progress. The focus of the papers is therefore on the national and local level; on country-led (rather than UN) efforts; and on a range of immediate and underlying factors that appear to be important or essential in enabling progress under differing conditions and country circumstances. The papers do not present or represent formal, official UN policy positions. Rather, they reflect the collective analytical efforts of the MDG Task Force, as endorsed by the UN Development Group, in an effort to bring ideas and suggestions...

...ALSO BY MALCOLM GLADWELL The Tipping Point To my parents, Joyce and Graham Gladwell Introduction The Statue That Didn’t Look Right In September of 1983, an art dealer by the name of Gianfranco Becchina approached the J. Paul Getty Museum in California. He had in his possession, he said, a marble statue dating from the sixth century BC. It was what is known as a kouros—a sculpture of a nude male youth standing with his left leg forward and his arms at his sides. There are only about two hundred kouroi in existence, and most have been recovered badly damaged or in fragments from grave sites or archeological digs. But this one was almost perfectly preserved. It stood close to seven feet tall. It had a kind of light-colored glow that set it apart from other ancient works. It was an extraordinary find. Becchina’s asking price was just under $10 million. The Getty moved cautiously. It took the kouros on loan and began a thorough investigation. Was the statue consistent with other known kouroi? The answer appeared to be yes. The style of the sculpture seemed reminiscent of the Anavyssos kouros in the National Archaeological Museum of Athens, meaning that it seemed to fit with a particular time and place. Where and when had the statue been found? No one knew precisely, but Becchina gave the Getty’s legal department a sheaf of documents relating to its more recent history. The kouros, the records stated, had been in the private collection of a Swiss physician named Lauffenberger...
