...biblical principles and proper attitudes instilled in them early will have an advantage as an adult. “Well informed, financially educated consumers are better able to make good decisions for their families and thus are in a position to create their economic security and well-being ”, states journalist Marianne Hilgert, as she explains the connection between knowledge of financial management and behavior. Why is it that schools fail to teach these useful concepts, but insist on teaching mathematical concepts that later on in life, will be utterly useless? (Algebra II comes to mind). Second, saving money in your younger years is vital to overall financial success. In fact, Dave Ramsey, a popular financial expert, says that the savings years from age 18 to 25 are the most important. Whatever money is saved during these years will have 40+ years to earn compound interest. Upon retirement, the saver will have a big reward waiting. If someone has enough self-control to not spend the money during hard years, the balance can grow into the millions. Therefore, the key to saving is not how much you save necessarily but how early you start. Ramsey gives the hypothetical examples of Ben, who saves $2,000 per year from age 18 to 25 and then never saves again, and Arthur, who saves nothing from age 18 to 25 but then invests 2,000 annually for the next 40 years. Both save at the same interest rate – 12 percent. Even though Ben saves only $16,000 (compared to Arthur’s $80,000), he still earns...

...Introduction “Police history” predates the evolution of the “police” as a permanent occupational group within a bureaucratic institution, providing the primary state response to crime and disorder. That was primarily a development of the 19th century and a reaction to the rapid social change of the industrial revolution and rapid urbanization. Prior to 1800, governments maintained order by a variety of means, local and national. One of the key historical debates concerns the effectiveness of these approaches and the degree of continuity between the premodern and modern police models. Around 1800 a small number of distinctively different types of police institution emerged. The French, under Napoleon, instituted the Gendarmerie, a state military police model. It evolved from the “Marechaussee,” which had had a dual military and civil function since the 16th century. The model was exported across Europe by Napoleon. The British developed two models. The first, set up to answer similar challenges to the Gendarmerie in France, was the Royal Irish Constabulary model. It was close to the state military model, but distinctively styled as part of the civil power of the state and subordinated to the Magistracy. The Irish model was subsequently exported to Britain’s colonies and became the basis of forces such as the Indian Police Service. The Metropolitan Police was consciously created as a local force with a uniform that was deliberately different from the military and a mission that...

...Thesis: Self-examinations, clinical breast exams and mammograms are three of the best ways to detect breast cancer early and thus save lives. Introduction: The reality of breast cancer hit home with me in June 2008, when a co-worker of mine was diagnosed with stage one breast caner. Through a routine self- examination she felt an abnormal spot on her breast. The next day she had a clinical breast exam and mammogram to help determine what she had found. Being knowledgeable about early detection of breast cancer can save your life, as it did hers. There are several different types of screening techniques. The chances of dying from breast cancer have decreased over the recent years which are probably the result of finding the cancer early (American Cancer Society, 2010a). In 2010, there were still over 39,000 deaths caused by breast cancer (American Cancer Society, 2010b). Self-examinations, clinical breast exams and mammograms are three of the best ways to detect breast cancer early and thus save lives. I am going to briefly talk about self-examinations, clinical breast exams and mammograms and what can do to become more aware of your body. Visual Aid: (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2010). Main Points: 1. Self- examinations a. Research show that performing a self- examination plays a small role in finding breast cancer but being aware of what is normal in your breast can help determine any differences (American Cancer Society, 2010c). b. Performing this exam...

...Have you ever gone to school tired because if so you aren't the only one, many students have the same problem as you. I believe that the school start times should be later than what they are now. Start times should be later because schools can save money and be able to spend their budget on other stuff, people go to school tired and sleep deprived because of the early start times, and later start times because there are many positive effects on the students. If school would have their start times later they could save money on their budgets. Later start times would make busses more efficient and save on transportation. A school in West Des Moines said that the later school times made the busses more efficient and they predicted that they would...

...the basic responsibility of protecting our green world. Some of the issues which we can focus on to improve the earth's environment are mentioned below; Save fuel The biggest issue the world faces today; it is our dependence on oil. This dependence we have is so strong that, we have started wars for oil. It is time we do something about it and try and find an alternative form of energy. Because soon this problem will be too much for us to handle and by then it will be too late. Save energy o Set your thermostat a few degrees lower in the winter and a few degrees higher in the summer to save on heating and cooling costs. o Install compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) when your older incandescent bulbs burn out. o Unplug appliances when you're not using them. Or, use a "smart" power strip that senses when appliances are off and cuts energy use. o Wash clothes in cold water whenever possible. As much as 85 percent of the energy used to machine-wash clothes goes to heating the water. o Use a drying rack or clothesline to save the energy otherwise used during machine drying. Save water o Take shorter showers to reduce water use. This will lower your water and heating bills too. o Plant drought-tolerant native plants in your garden. Many plants need minimal watering. Find out which occur naturally in your area. Save Trees o Illegal cutting of trees shall be stopped. This reminds us of The Chipko movement or Chipko...

...cheer for, but what if that star player never came to that school because they weren’t required to? ID: Today I want to talk about the pros and the cons of athletes being able to leave after their first season. Ethos: Doing research about this topic has lead me to the conclusion that there are a lot of pros but also very many cons of leaving early. Preview: Today I will be telling you the pros and the cons of leaving early and if I think they should leave early. I would like to talk about the pros about leaving college first. It allows great athletes the ability to earn a living faster and provide for their families. They could but a lot of that money in the bank and start to save money for when they retire. The second pro is that it prevents an injury to occur in college, many college athletes feel that if they stay in college they could get injured and put their professional career at risk. If they decided to leave early, they will get paid great money and benefits. Lastly they would be able to save money and go and get a degree if they wanted because they have the money now. Now looking at the cons of leaving college early. If the student athlete doesn’t stay in college they won’t secure their future. For those fortunate enough to be an elite in their sport, receiving a degree is a good way to insure your future is bright in case they have a career ending injury. They would at least have a degree to be able to get a normal job to support their family. From past...

...workers of the budget restrictions. I would have a detailed discussion with the employees about the options that I have to solve the problem. I believe it is important to temporarily reduce the population we serve until we can obtain grants for hiring more staffs. The solution to this situation would be to give employee #1 the option to do early retirement or to be laid off. With laying off employee #1 or giving her the option of early retirement, the company would save a total of $65,000. Even though employee # 1 has great experience, and works as a RN, employee # 2 who is an RN and dietician could fill that position. She will be promoted to salary employee and will obtain a $4807.36 increased. The other option would be to decrease the working hours for employee # 3 and employee # 5. Employee # 3 current salary is 26,000; this means that employee # 3 currently works $13.54 per hour. If I cut employee #3 working hours by 8 hours, I would save $5199.36 per year. If I cut employee # 5 working hours by 8 hours I would save $4608 for the year. With laying off Employee # 1, and reducing the work hours for employee # 3 and employee # 5 I would save a total of $74, 807.36. I choose to cut employee #3 and employee #5 work hours, even though their service is valuable. Employee # 2 and employee #4 can fill in for the 8 hours that they will not work each week, as they can provide patient care and fill in as a receptionist during these times. In a situation like this I do not believe that...

...have children in elementary school. School starts too early for teens; it is natural for elementary children to start at 8 a.m. but not teenagers. Teenagers need more sleep than older adults and young children. Schools should start later because students be more alert and healthier as well as schools will save money. Schools starting later will help students be more alert. The lack of sleep most adolescents get can cause moodiness, lack of attention, memory problems, behavior issues, and the ability to function (kqed). People between 14-24 years old are the most likely to be sleep deprived and it is due to not getting enough sleep during the week (iflscience). Benefits of sleeping include increased memory and learning, better attention span. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), almost 70% of high-school students report sleeping for seven hours or less on a regular basis (time). This proves that the majority of students are sleep...

...child’s circumstance. Random drug test in schools are beneficial for the people it affects, because it can alleviate drug use by the student that uses, weaken or terminate the drug possession on school grounds, and can save a child’s life in the long run. Paragraph 1: Drug testing in schools can alleviate the students use early on when detected by drug test. Many schools have substance abuse programs and counseling readily available for students in need. Paragraph 2: With drug testing becoming mandatory, drug possession on campus will weaken and possibly cease because students are afraid of being caught with drugs in their system. Paragraph 3: Mandatory drug testing in schools can possibly save a child from a long life of drug abuse and possibly overdosing. Conclusion: Drugs are everywhere and they are here to stay!

...Colon Cancer Curtis Boutte COM/156 Kate Marciniak Colon Cancer can be cured through various medical procedures including early detection. I really was surprised to find out that if you do the screening process and not wait for symptoms it can save your life. Many people don’t realize that there are different colon cancers. Colorectal cancer (cancer of the colon [Large intestine] or rectum) is the third most common cancer in men and women. Cancer of the colon or rectum is called colon or colorectal cancer. It develops in the digestive tract from polyps that initially are benign, but that over time mutate into a cancerous tumor. The cancer cells invade and destroy nearby tissue, and can break away to form new tumors in other parts of the body, a process called metastasis. Colon cancer is very serious and can kill many people. I have had two grandparents die from this cancer. Colon cancer is not the leading killing cancer but is second to lung cancer. The following conditions may put you at a higher risk for colon cancer. Your family history according to (www.cancer .org) you are more likely to get colorectal cancer if one of your parents, a brother, or a sister has had the disease. If in the past you have had other types of cancer, a history of colon polyps, or inflammatory diseases of the bowl. Your lifestyle has a lot to do with your chances of getting colon cancer. If you smoke cigarettes, drink alcohol all the time, if you are lazy, obesity, and...

...In The Merchant of Venice and Pygmalion, Portia and Eliza on the surface seem to be typical women of their time, sold to men and told who to marry. Although more than 300 years separate these two plays, the role of females is very similar in that they are portrayed by society as objects of desire. Women typically got their identity from that of their husband’s power and status. Portia and Eliza both illustrate how women can have great influence and which is unheard of from women in the renaissance and early 20th century. Shakespeare and Shaw use female characters to convey the true definition of feminism by creating heroic and independent characteristics in Portia and Eliza. As seen in both the Merchant of Venice and Pygmalion, Eliza and Portia were both given arranged marriages and told who they belong to. This was the common thing that was done in renaissance time (Merchant of Venice) and also in the early 1900’s (Pygmalion). In Pygmalion, Higgins says “Very well, then, what on earth is all this fuss about? The girl doesn't belong to anybody—is no use to anybody but me”, Higgins is implying that Eliza doesn’t belong to anyone at the moment, meaning that a girl should belong to someone. In Merchant of Venice, Nerissa is quoted “Your father was ever virtuous; and holy men at their death have good inspirations: therefore the lottery, that he hath devised in these three chests of gold, silver and lead, whereof who chooses his meaning chooses you, will, no doubt, never be chosen...
