...woman who calls it out gets a pin from the other woman who stated the word. At the end of the baby shower, the woman with the most pins wins a prize. 42) Pregnant for a Day Co-Ed Game (Materials: Bag of medium balloons, a roll of yarn cut into approx. 20 inch pieces, and a chair for each male participant). Don't tell the object of the game up-front. Make a statement to the women in attendance-- "How many of us women wished that men could be pregnant just for one day?" This statement will leave the men full of suspicion as to what was about to unfold. Hand each man a balloon. For each man that doesn't have on shoes with shoe laces, tie the piece of yarn around each of his slip on shoes to mimic a shoestring. Do not form the bow. Only make a knot to help keep the yarn around the shoe. For those who do have on string up shoes, instruct them to untie their shoes. Instruct each man to blow up his balloon and tell each man when to stop filling it with air. The balloons should be filled with enough air that it could fit under each participant's shirt, yet be a bit uncomfortable for them to sit down and tie their shoes without popping the balloon. Keep in mind that men who already have a "pot-belly" might need to blow up a smaller balloon. Give the object of the game and the rules. Start the game and whoever ties their shoes without popping the balloon, or lifting their feet from the floor wins....

...Conrad Etchi Prof. Dasa 11/14/13 Cracking India This is a story in which individuals and their community identities are inseparable, a story of emerging nations as well as a story of single characters. Not only Lenny but everyone in this novel experiences substantial change in the context of the Partition. Ayah's traumatic transformation at the hands of Ice-Candy-Man, the suitor who finally possesses her, and Ice-Candy-Man's own moral erosion through the Partition, figure the situation of all people involved in the ill-planned Partition, which resulted in migration, deaths, and incidents of rape and torture, all on a massive scale. The links between individuals and nations are emphasized both by multiple plots and points of view. Specifically, while Lenny is the clear protagonist and narrator for most of the novel, Ranna, a Muslim child whose experiences were particularly violent and traumatic, tells his own story. A significant aspect of the novel is the marginality of Britain and the Raj in the plot; colonialism sets this trauma in place, but postcolonial characters are its focus. The novel's pervasive focus on embodiment, particularly Eros and aggression communicated through the body, both figure the problem of the transformed national body of India/Pakistan and works on a more literal level. Early in the novel, several passages evoke Lenny's experiences as a polio patient, her enjoyment of the distinction of her disability, and the ways polio affects...

...conscientiousness. SCENE: David stated that he started the Jelly Belly business from nothing, he had only $800 to his name when he started, without any knowledge of how to make candies. It was difficult publicizing and selling the product in the beginning but he did not give up. This showed in his hard work and never ending dedication towards making Jelly Beans a grand brand. SCENE: David’s son confirmed his father’s hard work in establishing the business. He said that people were addicted to intoxicants, but his father was addicted to “Jelly Belly”. SCENE: He is very resourceful, even after he lost his business, he continued to create other types of candies. The only low he scored on conscientiousness is not getting a lawyer when he sold his business. People in high conscientiousness are organized and mindful of details. He did not take care of details in that transaction and it cost him a great deal. 2. Discuss the extent to which the main character demonstrates the personality trait of agreeableness.

...know how to swim because the current could pull you out to the ocean. The strong waves would rock us back and forth. My mother would watch us from the sand and if she thought we were going too far, she would wave at us and we had to swim back to shore or we would get into deep trouble. Nowadays they no longer rent these floats. The jet skis and boat rental businesses have taken over. You would never feel hungry while at the beach. You could always find different things to snack on. There was the ice cream man on his tricycle, the man who sold “pastelitos”, the man who sold fruit cocktails and topped it with condensed milk which was my favorite and one very unique man; “The candy man”. This man became very famous in Ecuador because he had a particular way of selling his candy. He made up a song which named all the types of candies he sold and had a dance to go along with it. He would also sit with you and tell you some of the anecdotes and memories he had since he started selling candy in Playas. The last time I visited Playas was in the year of 2012 and I was fortunate to see him and he sang his famous song to my youngest child which was 3 years old at the time. It brought back a lot of memories of my childhood and I noticed how lucky I was to have grown up in that time where everything was safe, people were kind and trustworthy. Playas has changed over the years, in some ways I would say it is very beneficial especially to the people who live there and get their income from...

...male front desk attendant of the commuter lounge did eventually go grab the water bottle that was left on the table and tossed it into the plastics bin once it was clear that the woman would not be returning. A man enters and sits down at the table next to me and he pulls out Tupperware with pasta in it, he proceeded to heat it up in the microwave then returned to his seat to eat it. This man reaches into his book bag and pulls out a metal fork from home to eat his lunch with. The differences between the artifacts being used and those destined for secondary refuse appears to depend on quality of the materials the objects are made out of. The water bottles that were disposed of were a much thinner cheaper plastic than the refillable bottles several students had. I found it interesting to see the students take their empty refillable water bottles out to the refill station and were able to refill their bottles for free, as well as reduce the amount of refuse accumulated. It made me wonder why the thinner plastic bottles are not also saved and refilled. Was it because the refillable bottles cost more money? Possibly the refillable plastic bottles are more durable than the thin plastic bottles. I also noticed that plastic forks were thrown away after use, but then a young man brought in a Tupperware container filled with pasta and went and...

...CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Candies are ideal choice when your product requires exceptional color, aroma, or flavor quality. Most commonly, candies are hard molded sugar that may be presented by designated forms or shards with highly concentrated color and rich flavor. On the other hand, tomato (Lycopersicum Esculentum) is a common name for a perennial herb. It belongs to the nightshade family, Solanaceae, and for its edible fruit. Botanically, the tomato is a fruit, but for purposes of trade it is classified as a vegetable. Because tomatoes are warm-season plants and sensitive to frost, they are grown as annuals in temperate climate. Tomato is a red fruit which is rich a good source of collagen. It is also an excellent source of vitamins A and C, lycopene which is a natural antioxidant, and potassium. The tomato is also used medicinally. The pulp and the juice are digestible, mild aperients (laxative), promoter of gastric secretion, and a very good blood cleanser or purifier. They are considered as an intestinal antiseptic, useful in cancer of the mouth, for sore throat. It stimulates a turpid liver, and is good for dyspepsia. It is highly prescribed for case of biliousness and it promotes the flow of bile. The juice is recommended for asthma, bronchitis, and those who have tuberculosis. One doctor says: “Tomatoes have the richest vitamins of all foods; they are the most wonderful blood cleanser of all foods known to man; the richest of all vegetables with their...

...are who gives us the information we seek, they can also give us the wrong information. Websites like Wikipedia, Ask.com, and Yahoo answers are big no-no’s in the credibility world. Sure some of the information may be accurate after tons of filtering and research but because anyone can just post their opinion, it doesn’t make it 100% credible. Most websites have a link to a page about the author where you can learn what this persons strong suits are on knowledge and information, to determine if they were a good resource or not to be giving the information. For instance when doing research on America’s top three ice cream flavors, taking information from an author who most accurate knowledge is in candy bar sales might not be your best resource. Another important way to rule out an unbiased opinions would be to, as I’ve said before, consider the source. Let’s say you have a man on trial for raping a woman but there is a sixty percent chance he could be...

...and his little husky Comock. Nanook owns a kayak boat which is surprisingly big enough to fit Nyla, Cynayou, the baby and Comock inside, and Allee lying on top of the front. He uses his kayak to travel and go fishing around the freezing water and ice. Nanook and his followers use the giant omiak boat covered with seal skin to go down the river where the white man “big igloo”-the trading post- is located. Nanook hunts for fox, seal, walrus and polar bear year round barters their goods for good knives, beads and colored candies. When Nanook and his family travel in the winter, they only bring a stone pot, stone lamps and their robes which are made out of deer or bear skin. Their transportation is a big sled pulled by a pack of huskies. The sled slides with great difficulty due to the dry-like-sand snow, but, at least, Nyla and the children do not have to travel on foot. Nanook seems to always have by his side the walrus knife which he uses virtually for everything, from hunting animals to cutting and creating ice blocks to build the igloo. From time to time, Nanook is seen with his proud harpoon which he uses to hunt walrus and fishes or his walking stick with one end sharpened to measure the thickness and hardness of the ice. Environmental resources are very scarce in the Arctic. Moss is the only plant that grows, and it is found in small patches here and there. The Inuit use moss for wicking, and sometimes for fuel. Walrus, seal, fox, polar bear, and salmon are the only...

...April 30, 2012 Current Event Ethical Dilemma On February 26th of this year, in the town of Sanford, Florida, 28 year old George Zimmerman shot and killed 17 year old Trayvon Martin with a 9mm pistol. Mr. Zimmerman claims this was in self-defense. Trayvon was armed with an Arizona Ice Tea beverage and a package of candy Skittles he had just bought from the local convenience store. The Sanford Police Department questioned Mr. Zimmerman and then released him without arrest, using the “Stand Your Ground” law as his defense. In this horrific situation the Police Department had a moral if not legal, responsibility to further detain and even arrest this man, on the ethical principles of Privacy, Respect for Persons, and Beneficence on behalf of the victim. The Right to Privacy for every person means the right to be free from intrusions into ones physical body, space, mind and personal information. This includes the right to be free from bodily restraint in any way or of having to disprove another’s perception of our attire. The Bill of Rights supports the ethical principle, Right to Privacy, specifically with the 14th Amendment, Amendment IV, which covers privacy of the person and possessions with the following: The right of the person to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing...

...American Psycho The extract from the novel takes place on Manhattan, where we enter the incoherent flow of thoughts of a young, well-dressed man. We follow him on his route of daily errands, and he enters the Central Park zoo, where he uses the urinal without flushing. This particular act upsets a black custodian who gives him a reprimand only to be called nigger and flashed with his knife. The narrator continues on his path, where he shares even more of his viewpoints on his fellow human beings. He also shares an undefinable moment with an owl, which triggers his rage and homicidal compulsion to grow. He ends up crouching behind a trashcan, where a young boy approaches with the innocuous intention to throw out a candy wrapper. The narrator asks the boy if he wants a cookie right before he stabs him in the neck. He quickly leaves the crime scene, but shortly after returns saying he is a doctor. It all ends with the narrator leaving the Central Park zoo, where he buys an ice cream bar, uncaught. Patrick Bateman is an example of the materialistic, career minded young people in the 80’s called yuppies. They mainly lived in New York and other big cities, where they could engage in highbrow culture, buy expensive clothes and dine at fancy cafés and restaurants. The narrator confirms that he is a yuppie, for instance by telling the reader that he eats a gourmet lunch, while wearing expensive designer apparel: “I’m wearing faded jeans, an Armani jacket, and a white, hundred-and-forty-dollar...

...short story, The Man Who Loved Flowers, manages to craftily blur the lines between love and insanity. King vividly describes New York City as a beautiful, vibrant place on that particular Spring afternoon. The only point in the beginning of the story where things don’t seem wonderful is where the radio is playing as the man buys his flowers. The news describes the problems of the world (including the hammer murderer on the loose), but it’s brushed off because the world seems bright at that moment. At the story’s climax, the imagery is dark and the sounds described are designed to cause the reader to imagine pure cacophony. Tomcats “making alien love” and a screaming woman are certainly not pleasant sounds. The most important fears expressed in The Man Who Loved Flowers are the fear of strangers (the unknown) and the fear of love (the fear of loss). The story takes place on a beautiful afternoon in May of 1963. Everything looks positively radiant with Summer coming quickly. Everyone smiles when they see the man in the gray suit because he is so obviously in love. The young man approaches an older gentleman who is selling flowers and buys the most expensive spill of tea roses. As the afternoon turns to evening, he makes his way to Norma’s. When he sees her his heart skips a beat. “It’s always a sweet shock to see her.” When he goes to her she pulls away. She tells him that he’s mistaken and her name is not Norma. We are then presented with the true identity of the man. Of course she...
