...Advantage and disadvantage of entrance exams to universities in China and US As we all know, students who want to go to college must take exams which are called “entrance exams to Universities”. College entrance exams are considered to be the unique approach that the students are admitted by the colleges, and a significant factor that determines a student’s future development. They’re even regarded as one of the turning points in their lives. The similarity of the college entrance exams in China and that in the Western countries is that they are both the ways of selecting students for the colleges. Well, it's a must door for all the Chinese senior students to the higher education. It may be considered to be too exam-oriented, or too narrow and strict to the students, however it has last for decades. It is actually useful in choosing talented people. To take an even spectacular example, in order to get a good result, students must be hard working, considerable, insistent and knowledgeable, and these, are just what the society needs. In total, everything exists has a reason. I think the exam is workable in some way, but can still be improved. In China, more than half students take exams on June 17th and 18th, in China. In that day, many students march in the classroom to wait for the examinations. Whatever the weather is hot, they full of confidence and stress to write down their answers. Even though they are ill and cannot give up the test, for they cannot live up to...

...The P.U.H. stands for Personal Underwater Habitat. With my bag of baitfish and my gigantic prize, I swam up to the entrance. This entrance was unlike any other entrance to a home. This entrance was at the bottom of a building attached to seafloor by chains. The P.U.H. was shaped like a half globe with small portholes along the midsection. To an outsider, it looked like I was living in a flying saucer. As I poked my head through I pulled down the cable from the pulley attached to the ceiling. I ran this cable through the dead brown groupers mouth and out through the gills. I quickly threw the bag full of tiny fish onto the habitat’s deck and started to pull the fish up. With the fish finally out of the water, I took my face mask off and unhooked my regulator from the oxygen tank. Slowly, I brought the oxygen tank to the refilling...

...possible. However, the second I saw Nova’s dirty blonde hair make its entrance into this world I knew my thinking was flawed. All the trees in town were barren, their leaves long since made their ways to obscenely large black trash bags and compost piles. November had just said goodbye, while me and my wife we’re anxiously awaiting our chance to say hello to our first-born daughter for the first time. Having been carrying the burden of two for every bit of two hundred and eighty days, my wife was exhausted. We spent hours on every mommy blog we could find -- filtering through all the myths on how to naturally induce labor in hopes of finding something that actually worked. We tried them all; Spicy foods and certain teas, but, as one would expect, none of them worked. That is until we read about how walking could help encourage labor. While it might have been coincidence, during a short walk around the block my wife’s contractions started screaming it was time....

...Tutorial 5 – week 6 Q1. Asset turnover ratio shows relationship b/w revenue and assets. The firm with high asset turnover will have low profit margin and vice versa. This indicates the amount of sales generated from each dollar of assets. Companies in retail industry tend to have high turnover ratio due to competitive pricing -> retail of musical intruments – high ratio but as not high as supermarket which is highest. Pharmacitical company Steel company. Q2. A ratio of profitability calculated as net income divided by revenues, or net profits divided by sales. It measures how much out of every dollar of sales a company actually keeps in earnings. Profit margin is very useful when comparing companies in similar industries. A higher profit margin indicates a more profitable company that has better control over its costs compared to its competitors. Profit margin is displayed as a percentage; a 20% profit margin, for example, means the company has a net income of $0.20 for each dollar of sales. Looking at the earnings of a company often doesn't tell the entire story. Increased earnings are good, but an increase does not mean that the profit margin of a company is improving. For instance, if a company has costs that have increased at a greater rate than sales, it leads to a lower profit margin. This is an indication that costs need to be under better control. Imagine a company has a net income of $10 million from sales of $100 million, giving it a profit margin...

...I remember the day well when I was first introduced to computers. I was a wide eyed eight year old who was on spring break, my mother didn’t have anyone to watch me so off to work with her I went. As she led me thru the doors into the Tektronix CPID hardware engineering division I was mesmerized. I knew that day that I wanted to know everything I could about how these machines worked and what I could make them do. I have always had a passion for learning, but for most of my life that passion was fulfilled by educating myself. Either by reading fieroucously about a subject on my own or jumping in with two feet and learning something new. After spending nearly a decade working in and around technology, I realized something was missing. I had hit a ceiling, I knew there was more to know, more that I could learn. I wanted to take my hobby, and turn it into a career. A career that could blend together my passion for technology, and my skills in customer service and communication. It was then that I decided to pursue a degree in Information Technology. When I decided it was time to go to school, I went looking for someplace local, that I could work at a steady pace towards my goals and still work a full time job. This led me to Pioneer Pacific. I received an associate’s degree in Information Technology, which I had already planned to continue thru to a Bachelor’s degree, but between my underclassmen classes and moving on to the second half of my Bachelor’s degree I went forward with...

...American lives have changed greatly in the past two decades. The increased availability of the Internet has not only provided us with expanded access to information, but has also altered the way we communicate with one another. In ways barely conceivable to most people twenty years ago, we can instantaneously acquire information and communicate with one another. Easy access to the Internet has changed the way Americans research topics, learn of current events and interact with each other on a daily basis. The Google search engine was introduced in 1998. In just fifteen short years, the colloquialism “google it” has become a part of the American lexicon. We can type a few words or a short phrase into a computer search engine and instantaneously access volumes of information about a subject. Research can be conducted anywhere that a person has access to a computer and an Internet connection. Vast amounts of information that once may have required a long drive to a library or an interlibrary loan are now available immediately in digital format. The result is that information can be acquired more quickly, easily and inexpensively than twenty years ago. This easy access to information is not limited to research, but also includes daily news and events. In 1993, most people received information of current events via the television, radio or newspaper. The television networks would break into regularly scheduled programming to broadcast an important story. The downside...

...Two weeks after graduating high school, I arrived at Shocco Springs Baptist Conference Center to begin my first “real job” and experience the most pivotal summer of my life. While most of my friends frolicked on beaches enjoying their last summer before college, my ten hour workdays as a “Summer Staffer” consisted of scrubbing floors, cleaning toilets, preparing meals, cleaning dishes, hauling trash, and busing tables. While these duties yielded an education in how to survive a gritty physical environment, the most vital education I received was in how to survive a gritty social environment. My boss was fired for stealing, a direct co-worker was arrested for murder, and another co-worker stalked me. Various fellow staff members allowed these unexpected circumstances to distract them from their daily responsibilities, but I understood that Shocco guests still demanded our services. Rather than retreat from a back-breaking job amidst criminals, I daily maintained a laser-like focus on getting my job done despite feeling intimidated. Overcoming the intimidation brought forth two lessons that changed my life forever: life will always throw you curve balls and you must adapt to them, and secondly, there is no substitute for hard work. These lessons prepared me for the real world and greatly motivated me to obtain a higher education. Upon graduating from the University of Alabama, I had a unique professional and personal opportunity to move to San Diego. Professionally, I became...

...The Board of Registered Nursing defines the nurse practitioners as “registered nurses who are prepared by advanced education to provide primary care including medical procedures that may be required for a specialty area “(BRN, 2012). Additionally, nurse practitioners must ”possess additional preparation and skills in physical diagnosis, psycho-social assessment, and management of health illness needs in primary health care and who have been prepared in a program conforming to board standards” (BRN, 2012). Advanced practice nursing, simply said, is a licensed registered nurse who has completed graduate training as a clinical nurse specialist, nurse anesthetist, nurse-midwife, or nurse practitioner. (Medical-Dictionary, 2012). The nurse practitioner is managed by standards in collaboration with the supervising Physician. The advanced practice nurse, is first and foremost a nurse. This role carries life experiences from hospital to clinical settings. The registered nurses role sets the basis for expanding the nurse practitioner role. This expanded role allows the family nurse practitioner to examine, assess and treat patients under the doctor's supervision. They can function in much the same way as a physician but does not have the same license or education as a doctor. Ylisela states, “In a family practice, the nurse practitioner sees patients of all ages for routine physical examinations as well as for illnesses and minor injuries. The family nurse...

...I have been pursuing my nursing degree for over 20 years, and throughout my journey I have had to overcome many obstacles. I took a small fourteen year leave of absence to raise my children, moved around the United States several times, and have had to overcome many personal setbacks. But I have always maintained the same plan to accomplish my short term and long term educational and professional goals. I have very specific educational and professional goals. My first goal will be accomplished May 8, 2008, when I graduate from Austin Community College with my associate nursing degree. After graduation I hope to work on a NICU, Labor and Delivery, or a Med/Surg. unit within the Seton Family. In January 2009, I plan on attending the online Associate to BSN program offered by the Texas Tech Health Science Center. Shortly after I obtain my BSN I will continue on to pursue my MSN. I will eventually be certified in one of the previously mentioned specialty units, and will use my MSN degree to be an educator within the Seton Family of Hospials and/or the local area colleges. All of this will be accomplished while working and attempting to further my career with Seton. I believe God, my determination, and Seton will help me accomplish my goals. My first clinical rotation in nursing school was at Seton Medical Center, and I never left. The moment I stepped onto the 6th floor, I knew that I always wanted to be a part of the Seton Family. They were dedicated to each one...

...Parenting in Today’s China: Concerns, Anxiety, and Commitment* Dr. Gan Wang, Associate Senior Research, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, Beijing Since the late 1990s, there has been a proliferation of parenting discussion forums (BBS) on the Internet in China. On the BBS, many young parents with higher education keep records of their children’s development, socialize with other parents, first in the virtual space, then in real space., communicate knowledge of childrearing and ECE, and discuss and debate over many issues in early childhood. In an earlier paper of mine, I claim that the Internet provides a new kind of social space in which the young mothers assert their new identity. Today, I’ll concentrate on one special debate issue. Examining the debate, I propose that to better understand challenges and concerns facing Chinese parents, a cultural historical approach should be adopted. Viewing parenting BBS, you often see great concerns and anxieties over the issue whether young children should “learn things”. To study or not to study, that is the question. There are some stories on the internet by ambitious parents who teach their children to recite dozens of Chinese classic poems at the age of 2, to recognize over a thousand Chinese characters and start to read at the age of 3, and play piano at the age of 4. Some of these parents keep record of their children’s progress in these studies and post on the Internet. Other parents might ask them in details and learn...
