...Dekada 70 : Reaction Paper The movie “Dekada 70” was a reflection of the Philippine situation way back the said decade and there were various cases with regards to human rights violations. The oppressive administration of the then president marked tremendous ordeals to people borne the said time. Some of the most notable human rights violations that I have observed while watching the film was the oppression of the lead actress in the person of Ms. Vilma Santos. She was confined in the limitations of her home and for caring for her husband and children. She was forbidden to have a career of her own and was most of the time disregarded when she aired out reflections of her own opinion on things. Another thing that caught my attention was the strict adherence to marriage. Men seemed to think that time that they were God’s gift to women and by so saying, it showed how little women’s voice are given importance when talking about their consent on whether or not they want to be married. It was also an open knowledge to us who were not even borne during the said decade that the freedom of speech was not all free. Many of the press were forbidden to freely write and broadcast about the situation faced during the then administration. Education was also manipulated and many people had to keep themselves on their toes. The student activists and the street rallies were so brutal and many feared for their lives or for the lives of their loved...

...Introduction: The purpose of this experiment was to successfully transform pGLO plasmid into E.Coli cells. In the first segment of this laboratory exercise, one had to carry out a restriction digest. Restriction digestion is the process of cutting DNA molecules into smaller pieces with special enzymes such as, BamH1 and EcoR1. One had to determine which of the two plasmids, A or B, were pGLO or pWEB. A plasmid is a small circular DNA strand in the cytoplasm of a bacterium (Isite, 2013). In order to determine that, one had to use BamH1 and EcoR1 on two tubes each one with plasmid A and the other with plasmid B to observe the cuts made by each enzyme. The hypothesis for this segment of the laboratory exercise states that pGLO was plasmid B, and pWEB was plasmid A. PGLO is a plasmid which contains green fluorescent protein (GFP). GFP is found in the Aquarius Victoria jelly fish. These jelly fish have a bioluminescent protein that emits blue light. GFP converts the blue light into green light, and that is why these jelly fish emit green light. The pGLO was inserted into E.coli by using transformation. Transformation is the process of transferring genetic material between microbial cells (Tu 2008). Bacterial cells need to be in a state of competency prior to transformation (Isite 2013). Some bacteria naturally achieve this stage when nutrients and oxygen are low (Isite 2013). In the laboratory, bacteria were artificially induced with calcium chloride to be competent for transformation...

...Compared to traditional encyclopedias, Wikipedia’s advantages and disadvantages are all from its open source model: open to everyone, has a large contributor base, and its articles are written by consensus, according to editorial guidelines and policies. From the case reading, we can find Wikipedia’s two main advantages: • Neutral, balanced and encyclopedic: Open to a large contributor vase, drawing a large number of editors from diverse backgrounds, Wikipedia significantly reduce regional and cultural bias and provides access and breadth on subject matter that is otherwise inaccessible or little documented. Bias that would be unchallenged in a traditional reference work is likely to be ultimately challenged or considered on Wikipedia. • Updated: Allowing anyone to edit, Wikipedia is more easily vandalized or susceptible to unchecked information, which requires removal. Hence, Wikipedia is more subject to subtle viewpoint promotion than a typical reference work. Wikipedia’s open approach tremendously increases the chances that any particular factual error or misleading statement will be relatively promptly corrected. In an ideal world, Wikipedia will run perfectly with all his advantages over traditional encyclopedias. Yet in reality (actual process), we notice some of Wikipedia’s disadvantages: • Significant omissions and uneven of articles’ quality: Unlike the traditional way of making the encyclopedia, there is no systematic process to make sure that “obviously important”...

...Scent of Apples Bienvenido N. Santos When I arrived in Kalamazoo it was October and the war was still on. Gold and silver stars hung on pennants above silent windows of white and brick-red cottages. In a backyard an old man burned leaves and twigs while a gray-haired woman sat on the porch, her red hands quiet on her lap, watching the smoke rising above the elms, both of them thinking the same thought perhaps, about a tall, grinning boy with his blue eyes and flying hair, who went out to war: where could he be now this month when leaves were turning into gold and the fragrance of gathered apples was in the wind? It was a cold night when I left my room at the hotel for a usual speaking engagement. I walked but a little way. A heavy wind coming up from Lake Michigan was icy on the face. If felt like winter straying early in the northern woodlands. Under the lampposts the leaves shone like bronze. And they rolled on the pavements like the ghost feet of a thousand autumns long dead, long before the boys left for faraway lands without great icy winds and promise of winter early in the air, lands without apple trees, the singing and the gold! It was the same night I met Celestino Fabia, "just a Filipino farmer" as he called himself, who had a farm about thirty miles east of Kalamazoo. "You came all that way on a night like this just to hear me talk?" "I've seen no Filipino for so many years now," he answered quickly. "So when I saw your name in the papers where it says you come from...

Beronilla before the Office of the City Prosecutor of Pasay City. She alleged that her marriage with respondent in 1978 had not yet been legally dissolved when the latter contracted a second marriage with one Cecile Maguillo in 1991. Issue: Whether the trial court erred in finding that the first essential element of bigamy, which is a first valid marriage contracted by private respondent is wanting. Arguments: Petitioner: Petitioner maintained that the respondent committed an act which has all the essential requisites of bigamy. The prosecution pointed out that the marriage of petitioner and respondent on 18 November 1978 has not yet been severed when he contracted a second marriage on 16 February 1991, for which reason, bigamy has already been committed before the court declared the first marriage null and void on 27 April 2007 Respondent: Respondent moved to quash the Information on the ground that the facts charged do not constitute an offense. He informed the court that his marriage with petitioner was declared null and void by the Regional Trial Court, Branch 16, Naval, Biliran on 26 April 2007; that the decision became final and executory on 15 May 200[7]; and that such decree has already been registered with the Municipal Civil Registrar on 12 June 2007.

...Ranch Golf Club Case Study The Ranch Golf Club opened in 2001 in Southwick, Massachusetts. The Hall family decided to turn their dairy farm into a golf club. They would provide their land, while they enlisted the help of Rowland Bates to coordinate the project. Bates found investors to provide the capital and they started work. The investors were Peter and Korby Clark, Bernard Chiu, and Ronald Izen. It is the Ranch’s goal to be the best golf club in New England. In 2007, the Ranch Golf Club was ranked as the number one best public golf course in Massachusetts. Communication is important in any aspect of life, especially in managing a business. Without clear communication the managers at The Ranch would be unsure of expectations. Communication is not a one-time thing; it must be continual in order to be effective. Communication involves a give and take. To communicate you cannot just talk; there has to be giving and receiving, or feedback. According to Lussier and Achua, feedback is “the process of verifying messages and determining if objectives are being met” (Lussier & Achua, p. 197). As it says in the case study, “Nothing takes the place of sitting down face-to-face during regular weekly meetings and listening to each other to continually improve operations” (Lussier & Achua, p. 197). As manager of The Ranch, Peter Clark must be prepared to receive feedback, which is critical for success. Management at The Ranch uses feedback to ensure “the players are getting service...
