...Sarah Smith Six Flags Great Adventure P.O. Box 120, Route 537 Jackson, NJ 08527 March 5, 2013 Joe Superintendent Main Street Elementary School Jackson, NJ 08527 Dear Mr. Superintendent: I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Sarah Smith and I am the marketing director at Six Flags. It has come to our attention that your fifth grade class has received a grant for an all expenses paid field trip and is in the process of picking a destination. I am writing this letter to request an opportunity to come to your school and talk to your fifth graders about the benefits of choosing Six Flags as their destination. A field trip to Six Flags would offer your students a chance to have fun while learning. They would have a chance to experience the Safari and the theme park during their trip. Normally our educational programs are geared toward middle school and high school age students but I am confident that we can adapt our math and physics day programs for your elementary school students. During these programs they learn math and science concepts while having fun riding the rollercoasters. They will also have a chance to go through a guided Safari tour where they will learn about all of the animals we have in our park. I thank you for your time and guarantee that, if chosen, your students will have an enriching experience at our theme park. You can contact me in my office at 631-555-4444. I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely...

...going to six flags during a field trip. I gathered with my friends Ivan and Isaac. Little did we know we were in for a ride of a life time. We planned to get on the goliath first but Isaac said we will go to the Georgia cyclone. But he had to run to the restroom. We decided to ditch him because he took too long so we went to the west side of the park. He soon catched up and said “Whyd you ditch me?” I broke out laughing because of how he looked when he said it.But we went off to the the first ride I would have ever got on in sixflags.

...there are many places to go and sights to see such as: Cola-cola factory, Cabbage Patch Kids Factory, Under Ground Mall, the Zoo, Atlanta Braves Stadium, Six Flags Over Georgia, Stone Mountain Park, and the Atlanta Aquarium, are all in or near the city of Atlanta. The three that we visit on every trip to Atlanta are Six Flags, Stone Mountain, and the Atlanta Aquarium. Six Flags Over Georgia is a theme park containing anything from carnival foods to trilling rides. Six Flags provides many activities for all ages. It is not at all uncommon to see famous cartoon characters, such as Bugs Bunny, roaming around the park. Older children and adults who possess strong stomachs may enjoy riding the various roller coasters available. For example, The Batman, is my favorite. The Batman goes up and down steep hills and even loops upside down. My wife closes her eyes the whole time on this ride. Six Flags also has water rides available to keep people cool. My favorite is Thunder River and Hurricane Harbor. Last June, my family and I were lucky enough to get caught under the waterfall on Thunder River we were soaked which was good because we were hot. Six Flags also has games to play and many souvenir shops. As for the carnival foods I mentioned earlier, the funnel cakes are absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend Six Flags as a place to go when visiting the Atlanta area. Stone Mountain Park is another tourist attraction near Atlanta. We spend most of our time there when...

...Selwyn Dickerson II Ms. Perry English 1301 February 18, 2012 Social Significance Argument: Fear Fear and anxiety, two words similar but distinctly different from each other. One is more of a perception of thought while the other is more of lingering apprehensions in which the sources of may totally be unclear. Many times daily people everyday distinguish the two in many forms. Most people are aware that the science behind fear is a bit different than the science of anxiety. An example would be the sudden reimagining’s of imagery and scenarios when someone threatens to kill you with a gun, knife, or any other object (fear) is much different from the nausea, dizziness, and “butterflies” in your stomach when wondering if you passed a some kind of test or not. Many people today go through this and are alive but aren’t living to the fullest all due to inhibitions and limiters we consciously or even subconsciously put on ourselves because traumatic events that have had. It’s truly no way to live. All of us (Mankind and others) in general need to realize if we keep holding ourselves back for reasons of anxiety and fear than we’ll always be asking ourselves and even say “What if”? It does go without saying I am no exception to this fact of life. There was definitely a time in my life where I was dealt with these problems. It was in the summer of 2003. It was a pretty cool year. I made lots of friends and many things went without a hitch too. But there was that one...

...Flags of our Fathers “Flags of Our Fathers" is a very famous novel, based on true events, that describes one of our country's most popular, historic events. James Bradley is not only the author of the book, but also the son of one of the flag raisers in the novel. The story tells us about the six heroes who rose the United States flag during the bloody battle of Iwo Jima. These men, were not just any ordinary flag raisers; they were men who symbolized our countries strength, honor, victory, and courage, during one of the nations greatest battles. Bradley begins the story by stating that his father, John Bradley, kept to himself when it came to discussing the events of Iwo Jima, the flag raising, and the events that followed. He explains that this was the reason in which he decided to research the 6 lives of the men who now are commemorated in museums, statues, and history books all around the world. These 6 men consisted of John Bradley, who was from Appleton, Wisconsin; Ira Hayes, who was a Pima Indian from a reservation in Phoenix, Arizona; Harlon Block, who was from the Rio Grande Valley in Texas; Mike Strank, who was a Czech immigrant, but raised in Pennsylvania; Franklin Sousley, who was from Hilltop, Kentucky; and Rene Gagnon, who was from Manchester, New Hampshire. They were all young men, ranging in age from eighteen to twenty-four. After Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, our nation’s attitude towards WWII changed. Many young men realized that our country was in desperate...

...Home-school: Is There a Reason? In the Fall of 2000, a six year old girl is sitting in her kindergarten classroom waiting for her mom to pick her up. While she waits, she starts cleaning up around her desk and cubbyhole. When her mom come, the teacher gives the girl a hug and the all students waved goodbye, as the girl walk out of the classroom with her mom. This was the girl’s last day of school, public school that is. The girl’s parents pull her out of the public school to homeschool her. Some friends of the parents told them that they started a home school program, and that they should let their daughter join the program before another year of school starts. So the parents ask their daughter if she want to try home schooling. The girl said she would try homeschooling only if she can go back to public school if she does not like being homeschooled. A couple of months after that, the girl started homeschooling. When you think of Homeschooling, what is the first thing that comes to mind? Do you think of a child being pulled out of public school for bad school environment, such as bullying and negative peer-pressure? Maybe you think of a child with special or personal needs?Or, do you think of a child that would be socially shelter from his/hers peers? For some, these are the first conclusions about homeschoolers, but are any of these conclusions true? That 6 year old girl was me 12 years ago, and I remember the first day I started home schooling, I was quite unsure how is...

...What are the sequence numbers of the first six segments in the TCP connection (including the segment containing the HTTP POST)? At what time was each segment sent? When was the ACK for each segment received? Given the difference between when each TCP segment was sent, and when its acknowledgement was received, what is the RTT value for each of the six segments? What is the EstimatedRTT value after the receipt of each ACK? Assume that the value of the EstimatedRTT is equal to the measured RTT for the first segment, and then is computed using the EstimatedRTT equation all subsequent segments. Note: Wireshark has a nice feature that allows you to plot the RTT for each of the TCP segments sent. Select a TCP segment in the “listing of captured packets” window that is being sent from the client to the gaia.cs.umass.edu server. Then select: Statistics->TCP Stream Graph->Round Trip Time...

...Types of audits Once a tax return is determined an eligible candidate for auditing, the IRS will send you a letter making the announcement of an audit. The type of audit you’ll be required to do typically falls into one of three types: Correspondence audit: The most common of audits, this typically entails mailing specifically requested documentation to the IRS. Field audit: For individuals or businesses who’ve earned more than $100,000 in income, the IRS is more likely to send an IRS agent to your home, place of business or tax professional’s office. Office audit: Sometimes the IRS requires you to attend an IRS facility and meet with an auditor. The factors influencing this type of audit vary. Top Five Ways to Avoid a Tax Audit 1. Check your figures One of the most common red flags for auditors – erroneous data entry – is also one of the most preventable. It seems simple enough to follow the advice to “double-check your return,” but surprisingly, people often are too careless regarding their taxes, said Thomas Jensen, managing partner of Vaerdi Financial in Portland, Oregon. He advised waiting for all your income reports, bank and investment statements and other applicable financial paperwork to arrive before starting your tax return. “Sometimes people simply forget (income) or they don’t get all of their forms gathered, and they make mistakes that are avoidable,” Jensen said. Correctly reporting dependents and exemptions, as well as ensuring that the numbers match, is important...

...Jehovah’s Witnesses I have had some personal experience with the Jehovah’s Witnesses, my wife’s aunt and uncle are Jehovah’s Witnesses. This came in to play during our wedding in fact. We had the wedding at the beach, one of the deciding factors in our decision to have it there was to accommodate her aunt and uncle who are not supposed to go in to another denomination’s church building. I have never had the Jehovah’s Witnesses come to my door, nor have I before closely examined their beliefs. Still, because of the family connection I have some familiarity with parts of their doctrine. Jehovah's Witnesses are described as a millenarian, and a restorationist denomination of Christianity. (Beckford 1975) They maintain non-Trinitarian beliefs which set them apart from mainstream Christianity. The Jehovah’s Witnesses claims a membership of more than seven and a half million who actively engage in the evangelistic activities for which the sect is known (watchtower). In 2010 the Witnesses reported an annual Memorial attendance of over nineteen-million (watchtower). The Jehovah’s Witnesses are led by the Governing Body located in Brooklyn, New York (Holden 2002) who are closely associated with the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society. This group of seven elders establishes and controls all the doctrines of the Jehovah’s Witnesses. Currently the members of the Governing Body are; Samuel Herd, Geoffrey Jackson, M. Stephen Lett, Gerrit Losch, Anthony Morris, Guy Pierce, and David...

This business become popular because of American middle class family moved from traditional vacation trips to the cruise for new experience. Costa Concordia was the largest passenger ship to sail under the Italian flag, which was owned by the group of companies called Carnival & Plc.
