...Audience: School Officials that believe Students should Consume Junk Food LaVonia Sauls Kim Sale ENGL 1102 CC 30 Mar 2015 Junk Food Should Be Banned In Schools For many years now, obesity has become a problem for our nation and especially for the children growing up in society today. In our generation, a lot of parents are finding it harder to prepare their kids breakfast and lunch, let alone prepare meals for themselves. Like a new trend, skipping breakfast has become quite popular in schools with many students coming to school unfed. This result has led children to eating unhealthy foods like fried food sold in the cafeteria, or snacks out of the vending machine. But this isn’t the answer, not only are the students already under-nourished from skipping breakfast, but they are digesting a large amount of fat and unhealthy food. Because child obesity is on the rise and school officials feed students greasy, salted unhealthy foods, the use of vending machines and junk food should be banned. There is a law going through congress right now about banning junk food in schools, and before you form an opinion, open your mind to see how the quality of life is being affected by junk food. Junk food can be so destructing towards your well-being and we all know that it makes people overweight. According to an article by the Irish Independent, “Globally, about twenty two million children, under the age of five, are overweight or obese” (Irish Independent Par 6). First of all,...

The rhetoric here was emotional. Adversaries of a strong Federal administration charged that the Constitution up-and-coming would effect in domination. Obviously all delegates had the knowledge with British infringements of civil rights equally before and throughout the Revolution. A number of delegates required a "bill of rights" and also that would spell out the human rights of people’s and restraints on Federal authority in detail. Throughout the subsequent argue over approval it became clear that conditions restricting central powers were required to ensure approval. It was not likely to really rewrite the instrument of government permitted in Philadelphia. Consequently it was decided to include 10 modifications to the Constitution. Some state meetings called to believe approval demanded such modifications. Others states simply ratified the Constitution among the stipulation that such modifications would be accessible. The First legislature of the America thus proposed twelve modifications to the Constitution. These amendments were accepted to the thirteen state legislatures for their concord.

Art History 101

...After reviewing the background readings, it was very hard to choose one of the paintings or sculpture to write about. One of the paintings/sculptures that stood out to me was “Neptune Calming the Waves” sculpted by Adam Lambert-Sigisbert. Adam Lambert-Sigisbert is a French sculptor who was also known as Adam l’aine. He came from a family full of sculptors. His father was Jacob Sigisbert-Adam. He was born October 10th 1700. He spent ten years in Italy, That is where he was influenced by the art work of Bernini. In 1723, Adam Lambert-Sigisbert received the Prix de Rome for study at the French Academy in Rome. The Prix de Rome was a scholarship for art students, principally of painting, sculpture, and architecture. It was in Rome where Adam restored a disparate group of fragmentary Roman sculptures with much ability and baroque freedom of interpretation. In 1732, Adam was elected as a member of the Roman artists’ guild, the Accademia di San Luca. He was one of the sixteen sculptors and designers who submitted plans for the Trevi Fountain. His design for the fountain was unanimously accepted but repealed. Romans were against a foreigner to receive the commission. At the age of thirty-seven, Adam exhibited at the Paris Salon. The pose that Adam had Neptune positioned is very dynamic. He had him advancing forward toward the waves as his hair and beard are flowing through the wind. The way he captured the motion is impeccable. He is a flawless incarnation of the god...

This improvement is especially apparent in the world of architecture and civil engineering, where there has been an unremitting ambition to surpass the existing boundaries, particularly with regards to height. The most renowned early example of a structure where height was key are the Pyramids of Giza where elevation was crucial in order to radiate power and divine authority. The tallest pyramid, standing at 146.5m, was built more than 4500 years ago, and remained the tallest manmade structure for the next 3800 years, until the 1300s when Lincoln Cathedral was built topping it by only 13.5m [1][2]...

...Modern American History: 1950 to the 21st Century (HIST101) Colorado Technical University For this project I am going to discuss two different articles about President Richard Nixon and the Watergate scandal. The first article is “The Washington Post Editorial Watergate: The unfinished business.” The other article that I will be discussing and comparing is one written by Dean Burch. “In Defense of Richard Nixon.” I will provide a brief summary of the two arguments as well as describe how the Watergate events changed American views in politics and politicians. I will also speculate how the events could have been different if the media and population during the Watergate scandal had today’s technology, an example being smart phones, and social media. Editorial: Watergate: The Unfinished Business In this Washington Post Editorial its opening sentence describes Nixon’s speech and actions as “far-reaching as they where in impact and effect” (1973, May 1). The editorial goes on to talk about how the President wants to turn the Watergate scandal over to the courts and let them sort it out. The writer then states that the President removed and added members of his cabinet, some of which were directly related to the Watergate scandal, and for the most part it was not a decision that the public supported. The article then goes on and makes the remark “But the remaking of the Nixon presidency will also depend on his willingness and capacity to bring not just new men, or even...

Classical Argument: Earthquakes

...Adrian Howley Classical Argument Reporting earthquakes are very critical to studying the behavior of tectonic plates. The very first recorded earthquake occurred in the year 1831 B.C. and is currently known today as the 526 Antioch Earthquake. The area affected was Antioch, China (located between the Syria and Turkey regions). Not much is known about how the report was formed. However, this historic report did include information about how the aftershocks lasted for twelve months. Other details from this report indicate that the death toll is around 250,000 to 300,000 casualties. Scientists today can only prove that the earthquake occurred between May 20 and May 29 (date translated from B.C. to Calendar Year). The first instrument to measure the seismic waves of earthquakes was invented by Charles F. Richter at the California Institute of Technology. (Bellis, 2013) He introduced his new instrument called the Richter scale, to the world of science. His invention allows scientists today to study the mechanics behind earthquakes and locate the epicenter to which the natural disaster originated. The largest earthquake recorded by the Richter scale was measured on May 22, 1960 at a magnitude of 9.5. The quake resulted in 1,886 deaths, 2,000,000 homeless, and $1,175,000,000 total in damages.

Taipe 101 (509m) This building is located in Taipei, Taiwan. Height of the building is 509 m with the total floors are 101. In many cases, the building is recognized as one of the most advanced skyscrapers in the world. One of the superiorities of this building is having a fiber-optic and internet connection satellite which can reach speeds of 1 gigabyte per second. Besides, the elevator building also was fastest than Burj Khalifa, 63 km/hour means that to reach the 89th floor, it only takes 39 seconds.

What Are the Key Aspects in the Construction and Design of the Burj Dubai Tower?

...structure. The Burj Dubai, situated in Dubai, will soon be the tallest building in the world, bypassing the previous record holder, the Taipei 101 by almost 290 metres giving it an astonishing 800 metre height. With over 2700 feet, designing and constructing such a vast building has given significant challenges to engineers and designers alike. Since the building can hold up to 35,000 people at once, it is essential that it is strong, comfortable and able to move people up and down it at a steady rate. This essay will explore how the designers and engineers went about solving these issues. One of the key problems the engineers had to overcome was effect of the wind load and how it would affect the building motions due to the extraordinary height of the tower. Wind load is something that must be taken into account for all buildings, but obviously the wind velocity increases the higher you go and since the structure is over 800 metres tall, there is guaranteed to be a large wind force acting on the building. Three different engineering firms: Skidmore, Owings and Merrill who were all working on the project, hired the RWDI (Rowan Williams Davies & Irwin Inc.) a wind and environmental engineering firm to conduct wind studies on the Burj Dubai’s design. The RWDI had worked on a number of previous projects such as the Petronas Towers and the Taipei 101 and its facilities included four boundary wind tunnels. Their job was to minimize the effects of the wind load and building motion of the...

My Journal Entry 1

...Entry 1 (24th September 2012) It's exactly 12:01 am now, and seeing that this is my first entry, I should update a little of myself. I'm currently at Taiwan for a short vacation with my high school friends of about 10years. And they are Lee Sue Ee, Soh Pei Ling, and Chong Yee Wun. We arrived here on Saturday, 22nd September 2012, and so far it has been an hectic journey seeing that we are here on our own for the first time and we did not go through any travel agency. Enough of updating, I just finish my STA assessment and e-mailed it to my group mates to submit later in the morning. I just hope that I did good enough despite my heavy schedule and with little initiative. Oh yes, I am now in my room while the girls are sleeping and the view is just amazingly breath-taking. How fortunate i am that I could do my assignment while looking at this sea view. The sound of the rushing waves eases my mind to relaxation and light music as my background to suit my emotion. The only thing that lack, is a partner to share this spectacular moment. Anyway, I should sleep now. Gotta be up early later for another tour around the north-east Taiwan before heading to the capital city Taipei later in the evening. I will update my entry again later whilst exploring every possibility here. Good Night ! Good afternoon, it was quite a day after waking up restlessly. Breakfast here was amazing, I mean, what more can we ask with such nature phenomenal as our spectacular view. After finishing our...
