...For the love of horses A horse. A rider. A bond that can’t be broken. That’s all it takes. The trust you have to put in your horse to carry you safely around, over, threw obstacles; you trust them with your life. They trust you to guide them and take care of them. Some people don’t think that riding horses isnt a sport. They have to lift weights, I have to lift hay bales /water buckets/ grain bags/ tack trunks. They have to run two miles, I have to do posting trot of 5. They go to state, I go to championships/circuit/trials. There are many reasons that horse riding is a sport but it's ignored. It’s not just a sport/hobby you're dealing with, but it's a friend. A friend that is always there for you. A friend that won’t tell all your secrets. My horse rodney is the best thing to ever happen to me. He’s always been there for me when I need a shoulder (more like mane) to cry on. He’s taught me more about myself than anyone else. Rodeny’s helped me realize that I don’t need a bunch of big things in life, that I need to appreciate the little things....

...Think about horses in horse shows aren’t they beautiful: those horses go through many hours of grooming to look that stunning. The process of grooming a horse builds a trust between the horse and the groomer. It can also be a very relaxing process. There are multiple steps to grooming a horse. The horse has to be cleaned and brushed from it’s head to it’s hooves. Different tools and techniques have to be used to properly care for different areas on the animal's body. In order to groom a horse, first the horse must be caught from pasture. A pasture is a grassy fenced in area where the horse will spend a majority of its time. To catch the horse a halter and lead rope are needed. A halter is normally made of nylon, but however sometimes it’s made...

...Gordon Adam Lindsey Gordon was born in 1833 in Fayal, Azore. He was the only son of Adam Durnford Gordon, a retired captain of the Bengal cavalry and teacher of Hindustani, and his wife Harriet Gordon- they were cousins. His family was very wealthy, because his mother had inherited 20, 000 dollars. From a young age he was interested in reckless horse riding and poetry. By 1852 his riding career had begun. A year later, his father secured him a job in South America, and he sailed in the Julia and arrived in Adelaide. He worked for some years as a mounted policeman, before striking up a renewed interest in literature. All the while he was doing horse riding, a horse-breaker and steeple-chaser. In 1862, he married Margaret Park, who had little education but was a skilled horse rider. As time went by, he began to get a lot of his writing published, beginning in 1865, with the Poem The Feud, published in The Border Watch. He also won a lot of horse riding competitions, although his reckless riding also meant his injuries were frequent. However, despite these successes, he became depressed and unstable. In 1862 he suffered a serious horse riding accident and his young daughter died, these events triggering his wife’s leaving. Soon, however, things began to look up, with great reviews on his poetry being published and his wife moved back. But then he killed himself. He has a statue of himself in the...

...quantity sold over a specific time period. The gross profit margin of each menu item is compared to an average gross profit margin of all menu items and then classified as high or low. Each menu item is also classified as high or low by its popularity. A menu mix percentage for the item is established by dividing the total count of the item in the total count of all menu items. The dividing point for establishing low or high popularity is calculated by multiplying 70% by 1/n, where n equals the number of competing menu items. The profitability and popularity classifications of each menu item results in four categories. A menu item with higher than average popularity and profitability is referred to as a Star, while an item with higher than average profitability and lower than average popularity is called a Puzzle. Menu items with lower than average profitability and higher than average popularity are called Plow Horses. Finally, menu items with lower than average profitability and popularity, are considered Dogs (Schmidgall, 1997). After menu items are classified according to profitability and popularity, each menu item’s share of the total menu profit needs to be determined. This is accomplished by a two-step Profit Factor (PF) calculation (Bell, 2002). First, the average CM is determined by dividing the total menu CM by the number of menu items. The total...

...Semantic Change Shahrin Akter 1521358655 Department of English North South University Tracing the Nature of Semantic Change Introduction Language never stands still. All living languages are continually changing over the course of time due to social, cultural, environmental, historical and linguistic factors. Semantic change is one of the major phenomenon of language change. Basically, semantic change deals with the change of the original meaning of a word as well as the development of a new word which is reflected in the way the words are being used. This paper mainly puts an insight to the major causes of semantic change as well as trace the traditional classification made by various scholars. According to Varshney, “The main factors responsible for semantic change are vagueness in meaning, loss of motivation, polysemy, ambiguous contexts and the structure of the vocabulary”. (p. 284). Over the passage of time, people use words in a new context. Hence the meanings of the words are changing gradually, often to the point that the new meaning is radically different from the original usage. For instance, the word ‘awful’ originally meant ‘awe-inspiring, filling someone with deep awe’, as in the awful majesty of the Creator. At some point it becomes something ‘extremely...

...between the groups by showing the natural hierarchy of the animals. The choice to use animals instead of humans was a positive addition to the story; animals were used in their most simplistic form so the traits that they were given during the time of the holocaust could be more easily understood. An illustration demonstrates this concept by having a Jewish family hiding in a bunker inside a garbage hole. Presented as mice, they were hiding in a hole underground that was filled with garbage, showing that they were cowards and dirty creatures. There is also another illustration where they are hiding from the Nazis, who are portrayed as cats, by crawling through a tunnel, like a mouse hole, to escape into another area. This also shows their sneaky and cowardly actions. Another way in which the Jewish people’s perceived personality is brought out by the nature of the rodent is shown when Vladek and his wife Anja are hiding and are in a storage locker with rats. “There are RATS, giant rats! They’re horrible!” exclaimed Anja. (pg.148, panel 5) Anja said that they were horrible and in the Nazis’ perspective the Jews were just as horrible as rodents. Between the Nazis and the Jews there...

...language in four main reasons, Perrine (1982) First, figurative language affords readers imaginative pleasure of literary works. Second, it is a way of bringing additional imagery into verse, making the abstract concrete, making literary works more sensuous. The third, figurative is a way of adding emotional intensity to otherwise merely informative statements and conveying attitudes along with information. And the last, it is a way of saying much in brief compass. She divides figurative language into seven types, namely metaphor, simile, personification, metonymy, paradox, overstatement, understatement, irony and illusion. 2 Keraf (1998: 129) divided majas (figures of speech) into two classifications, namely majas retoris (rhetoric) and majas kiasan (analogy). The first classification covers illiteracy, assonances, anastrophe, apophasis, apostrophe, asyndeton, polycyndenton, chiasmus, ellipsis, euphemism, litotes, paradox, hyperbole and oxymoron. Meanwhile the later covers simile, metaphor, allegory, personification, allusion, metonymy, irony and synecdoche. Another Indonesian linguist, Muliono (1989) divided majas or gaya bahasa into three categories. They are majas kiasan or perumpamaan/perbandingan (analogy/comparison) which consists of simile, metaphor and personification,...

...An Overview of Computer Viruses in a Research Environment Matt Bishop Department of Mathematics and Computer Science Dartmouth College Hanover, NH 03755 ABSTRACT The threat of attack by computer viruses is in reality a very small part of a much more general threat, specifically attacks aimed at subverting computer security. This paper examines computer viruses as malicious logic in a research and development environment, relates them to various models of security and integrity, and examines current research techniques aimed at controlling the threats viruses in particular, and malicious logic in general, pose to computer systems. Finally, a brief examination of the vulnerabilities of research and development systems that malicious logic and computer viruses may exploit is undertaken. 1. Introduction A computer virus is a sequence of instructions that copies itself into other programs in such a way that executing the program also executes that sequence of instructions. Rarely has something seemingly so esoteric captured the imagination of so many people; magazines from Business Week to the New England Journal of Medicine [39][48][60][72][135], books [20][22][31][40][50][67][83][90][108][124], and newspaper articles [85][91][92][94][114][128] have discussed viruses, applying the name to various types of malicious programs. As a result, the term “computer virus” is often misunderstood. Worse, many who do understand it do not understand protection in computer systems, for example...

...[pic] [pic] Written By: Jermaine Brown Course: Intro to Philosophy Professor: V. Bartolini Date Written: May 1st, 2002 Aristotle Aristotle was born in 289 BC, as the son of Nichomachus. He was born at Stagira in Macedonia, which is located on the northwest coast of the Aegean Sea in Northern Greece. His farther was a friend and also the physician of the King of Macedonia. Since Aristotle's’ farther was so close to the King of Macedonia, Aristotle spent a great deal of his childhood time at the court. Being at the court would later show to be a great influence in his life. People that lived in ancient Greece through Aristotle’s time usually only carried one name, and they were also referred to by the place from which they were born at. Because of this, Aristotle was often commonly known as “Aristotle of Stagira”. When Aristotle was just about the age of ten, his farther died and Aristotle was taken under the care of a man who was named Proxenus. At the age of 17, Proxenus sent Aristotle to Athens, which at the time was the intellectual center of the world. Aristotle went there to complete his education. He enrolled at the most famous academy in Athens, which was directed by Plato. Aristotle soon became a prominent figure at this academy. While at this academy, Aristotle threw himself totally into the works of Plato’s Pursuit of the truth and goodness, even though Aristotle departed from the master’s teachings on many...

...1 ) Rabies Rabies is a viral disease causing inflammation of the brain ( encephalitis ). The virus is a member of the family Rhaboviridae. Worldwide, several variants of the virus have been identified, each associated with a single wild animal host that acts as a reservoir of infection for a particular geographic area. Although all warm -blooded vertebrates are susceptible, only mammals are important in the spread of rabies. In British Columbia, bats are the only reservoir of rabies. Records of bats submitted for rabies testing suggest that relatively few are infected, even among those submitted because they are behaving abnormally. Bats are valuable components of the natural ecosystem and many species are at risk in British Columbia. Other potential hosts of British Columbia include domestic dogs/cats, foxes, raccoons, skunks, wolves and coyotes. " Spill over " of rabies to terrestial mammals from bats has occurred in British Columbia, but rabies has never been maintained in wild populations of terrestrial mammals. Rabies should be suspected in any wild animal exhibiting any behavior considered " abnormal" including ; loss of fear or unusual friendliness, excitation or aggression, depression, incoordination, paralysis, convulsions or seizures, abnormal vocalizations, appearance of nocturnal creatures during the day, signs of choking or inability to drink or swallow food, drooling of saliva or frothing at the mouth. In Carnivores, evidence of having...

...Plato's Middle Period Metaphysics and Epistemology 1.0. The Background to Plato’s Metaphysics The author Silverman, Allan (2014) of this article titled Plato’s Middle Period Metaphysics and Epistemology wrote about how Plato first began to annotate his own points on metaphysics and epistemology. As we all knew, Plato’s definition of things are heavily influenced by his teachers Heraclitus (c.540 B.C.-480-70) Parmenides (c.515 B.C.-449-40) and especially Socrates (470 B.C-399). However only remnants of the writings of Heraclitus and Parmenides and also nothing left of Socrates. The only evidence that we ever had is Plato’s depiction of his teacher that is the dialog he wrote in his writings about Socrates’s views. Sometimes, it is as if it was Socrates’s writing not Plato because of the many things about Socrates he wrote. Some had said that it was his own views but instead he used Socrates as the speaker. This article also wrote about Plato’s predecessors’ views of the concept that influences his definition of Metaphysics and Epistemology which are Being and Forms. Firstly, Parmenides which he said there is one and only in this world and that is being. The truth is it never change and will never be. Sadly, there is not much we could conclude from Parmenides’s point of view. His concept of being has become Plato’s based of doctrine of Forms. As contrast to Parmenides’s definition of physical world, Heraclitus is the advocate of change. He said that the ordinary objects...

...Neely worked for Wilkinson (a man who has the motive to kill him, as stated before) as the federal agent to the Chickasaw Indians. According to David Leon Chandler's piece, The Jefferson Conspiracy: A President's Role in the Assassination of Meriwether Lewis, Major Neely had caught a criminal important to the wealthy pioneers in the area, however got lost on his way back to the pioneers and accidentally bumped into Lewis where Neely offered to be Lewis' guide to Nashville then to D.C. On the way to the Inn, it was reported that two horses had gone missing so Neely decided to stay behind and look for them as Lewis and two servants continued to the Inn, and according to the same public statement by Captain Russell that spoke about Lewis' bullet wounds, Neely “could not be found.” This means that Neely was not at the Inn while Lewis was there, negating his letter that talked about how Lewis committed suicide and creates a major dent in the Suicide argument. This suggests that Neely may be the murder and strengthens the argument that Wilkinson had Neely kill Lewis in order to save his and his colleagues reputations, since he does not have a solid...
