...January 24, 2012 Returning to School There are so many reasons on why I returned to school that I don’t even know where to being. Or could it be the fact that I had a hard time when it came to graduating from high school and maybe I’m here to prove my family wrong. Maybe it my kids and wanting a better life for them then I had for myself. Or it could be the fact that I just want to be here. There are many reasons why I should be here. Returning to school was something that took a while for me to decide to do. Mainly because I said that after all I went through to leave high school that I wasn’t going back to school. I had to do night school, summer school, American school that’s where they mail you the work and you mail it back. And even went back to do a half semester the following year. So once I went through all that I said I was done with school. I was happy I did it, but it was all just a little much to be going through for a simple piece of paper. But after years of doing nothing and having a child I knew that I wanted to be something if not for me for her. Growing up I was looking for a role model and for some reason I just couldn’t find it. And then it felt like no time ever seem to be the right time and there was always a reason to put it off until the next time. Then having another child just made me come up with every other reason why I should do it. But still I wasn’t working and trouble seems to be the only thing that I could seem to get into. So after many years...

...systems they comprise. Ethics deals with values relating to human conduct. It focuses on the rightness and wrongness of actions, as well as the goodness and badness of motives and ends. In the healthcare industry, ethics is about anticipating and recognizing healthcare dilemmas and making good judgments and decisions based on the patient’s needs and wishes. Also ethics is about the universal values that work in unison with the laws of the land, our Constitution, and where the Constitution remains silent, we rely on the ability of caregivers to make the right choices using the wisdom of Solomon to do good. An ethical dilemma has risen here in given situation. It can occur whenever a choice involves giving up something good and suffering something bad, no matter what course of action is taken.

...I see a shadow running past the window as my vision inches closer to the house. It isn't the first time my dreams have brought me here and I know it won't be the last. There is something that happens every time I arrive, but I'm already too late to see the crime taking place by the time I arrive. Yet for once, I'm outside the house as the build up of events is taking place and I can feel the tension rising in the air. I feel myself moving forward, but I know I am unseen to everyone else around me, even though there is barely anyone in this secluded area as it is. A sudden movement catches my attention on the left side of the house and my heart thrashes harshly in my chest. Anxiety rushes over me as I watch the front door slowly open towards me and I see both of them standing in the narrow hall way in the middle of a heated argument. The words nearly incoherent to me, I struggle to hear the content of their disagreement, but its impossible with the sound of the bitter wind outside. Suddenly, I'm being pulled forward into the house, racing through an ending obstacle course through the disaster they called home. Their yelling, or his to be exact, echoes off the walls and sounds as if they're right in my ear. A force stops me at the bottom of the stairs where the kitchen is to my right, trashed as if a tornado had just blown through. My vision zooms in on the counter top where there is a small splatter of blood on the corner as if someone had been holding onto it with a bloody...

...can see above), but we'll also provide you with text notes and files that you can refer to as well. Each lesson is designed to be a manageable chunk of information that you can digest in under 15 minutes (and often much less). Although we're starting off our first programming lesson at 9:00 AM PST, the following three lessons will be released every day at 6:00 PM PST. Be sure to come back and visit us at the end of the day on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday this week to finish learning the basics. Our first lesson is going to be very simple and consist of learning about basic variables and data types. For the lessons in this series, we're going to use JavaScript as a model because it's a syntax that's pretty easy to understand and it's something that anyone with a text editor and a web browser can use. Because it's an ECMA-based language, it makes understanding other ECMA-based languages (like ActionScript) much easier to learn. Even better, you'll find that knowing how to write JavaScript will make...

...achievements, or telling stories. Give the students a few minutes to write about something that they've experienced in the past. The examples I give them are: paragliding or bungee jumping, meeting their girlfriend or boyfriend, a special vacation, eating an interesting food, etc. When the students are finished writing, have them put their names on the paper. Collect them. At this point, I'll usually put the students in teams of 2 or 3. Then, read the papers out loud to the class and have the students write down the name of the person they think it is. Exchange papers with another group, give answers and you have your winner. This works well in my classes because even though there are about 20 people, they know each other well because they are all the same major and have all their classes together. If there are some students not of the same major who are repeating the class, I'll make sure to put them in a group with other students who know the majority of the students. This could also work well for a smaller, more advanced level class of mixed-major students as a "get to know each other" kind of activity. I had some fun with the options on my cheap digital camera this week. I noticed that on many photo programs there are magazine templates available with some of these cameras with such titles as BOSS,FORTUNE, ADVENTURER, etc. so I copied these and brought them into my class. printed them off. Here is the recipe: Celebrity Interviews Print blank templates of magazines from...

...The Abaya and the Women Beneath it CBS- Cand.Ling.Merc. Fashion and Design Industries Teacher Lise Skov Student: Diana de Souza Leão Jensen Cpr.nr. 170588-3218 Characters: 22. 050 Introduction Dubai is claimed by many to be the centre of the Middle East, and by some, of the world. Connecting many countries, continents, cultures and people Dubai is a very cosmopolitan place that combines old tradition and religion with modernity, innovation, pioneering and extravagance. From the old traditional souks to the new modern malls we see people from all over the world, dressed in many different ways. It is sometimes easy to spot where people come from, especially if they are wearing a traditional costume for their culture. The locals of Dubai and the surrounding Emirates are called Emirati and the official religion of the United Arab Emirates is Islam. The traditional dress of the Muslim woman from the UAE is the Abaya, a kind of maxi dress or robe, it is long, has long sleeves, it is loose fitting and in the UAE it is generally black and simple, it is made of very thin fabric to make it cool in the scorching summers of Dubai and the surrounding Emirates. Muslim women in different parts of the world wear different garments, but all with the same purpose, to cover the body and not show the shape of the body, but in Dubai there is a large number of women in the black Abayas. There is a great contrast between the tourists, wearing tank tops and shorts revealing a lot...

...buyer and understanding how to make the decision when to buy can have long term financial consequences for the buyer. In this case the buyer is me. When making a decision to buy a new house I will look at the principles people face tradeoffs, the price of something is what you give up to get it, rational people think at the margin, and people respond to incentives. While I want to buy a new house there are several different areas that I will look at before making the purchase. How much each home costs plays a role in my decision. It is important for me to live within my means of money so making the right choice will benefit me the most. Looking at new homes there may be two that are different in space, number of bedrooms, and price. I personally am looking for the most amount of space for the price that I can afford. I currently own the house that I have now and in order for me to buy it will have to be beneficial for me to give up what I have at the moment. I face tradeoffs of buying a new house verses keeping the one that I own now. Getting more space over keeping the amount of space I have at the moment. Having three kids in a three bedroom house can get congested at times. I know that a four bedroom home will make it to where all three of my boys can finally have their own bedrooms, but price here is crucial in whether I decide to buy a new home right now. When thinking of what I...

...Diverse America University of Phoenix Diversity is something that we all have dealt with and others have had to overcome throughout history. The definition of diversity is, the state of having people who are different races or who have different cultures in a group or organization. Throughout this class and the past nine weeks, things have come up that made me wonder how we are all able to coexist. People can be mean; they also can shed light on hard situations that would make us all open our eyes. There is no rhyme or reason to the hatred, but we all must learn to let stuff go. The United States is known to have the most diverse set of racial and ethical groups in the world. People come here to start a new life, it does not matter what race, religion or sexual preference you have, the United States has always openly welcomed you. Information that helped me were knowing that we are all the same, even though many of us seem different, this is not the case. Since the attacks on the twin towers, Muslims have been mistreated, labeled and abused by most. If you get a chance to sit down and talk to them like I have, you start to realize that the world is a cruel place. I have learned that white Americans as myself have been the roots of many evils. I do not know where the sense of privilege has come from, or why this has become. One thing I do know is that nothing will change unless we all are willing to change. As we have seen, the United States is not what it used to look like...

...Manager’s Hot Seat Case 2: Ethics: Let’s Make a Fourth Quarter Deal The Meeting G: Jason, I have such awesome news for you, I’m so glad you’re here. Betsy said that you are going out of town and I was wondering you know, is he going to be here or not because I have such awesome news. J: Yeah great. G: I have Bestel who is interested in investing 4 million dollars in this company, immediately. All we have to do is sign a few papers and we are done. Now the chairman of the board, do you remember Jack Schneider? Do you remember when he came in? J: I do. G: Ok. So I have known him since I was a kid, he’s almost like an uncle to me. Now he said, basically this is a done deal. Now his shareholders, they don’t get together until 2 weeks after the fourth quarter. But that’s not really a problem because I have talked to him, and worked everything out and done everything that he wanted me to do. J: does he have to get the shareholders to approve the deal? G: Well yeah of course. J: Well how is he going to do that if the quarter ends, he can’t legitimately sign the deal before he gets shareholder approval? G: Ok, well technically I know what you’re saying, but I’m telling you I know this guy. He’s like, like at thanksgiving and when I was growing up we would have picnics together, and he’s given me the OK. He says he’s got these shareholders on his side, and then he’ll have this meeting that’s kind of a technical problem but other than that, he said he will do it so it’s really not a problem...

...Assignment 1: After reading all of the poems to myself and in different ways when I’m reading “We Real Cool” I feel like a thug siting on the street corner talking to the other kids around the area. Making it feel like those kids are expected to follow in the story tellers footsteps. This poem reads with more of an arrogant tone and seems to try and make themselves feel more important or cool in the tone they read the poem. I also think this poem could be read to people who are possibly even in jail, or in a support group for something, like a way to express that making trouble, skipping school, causing problems and drinking isn’t worth it in the long run. “Here a Pretty Baby Lies” is such a sad poem and I can see this read more as a lullaby to children. As almost all lullabies are, they are generally about something sad like “Ring Around the Rosy”. The seems to start as parents singing a lullaby to their baby, by the end of the poem you can tell that the baby is not alive and that he or she is now buried in the ground. This might not mean an infant or toddler, this poem could even relate to a 50 year old dying and the parents singing lullabies to them as well. Just because they may be older does not mean that they are still not their ‘babies’. Everyone deals with sadness and upset in a different way and the parents in this poem are able to cope with the loose of their baby by singing lullabies. “Daffodils” seems to me like it could be a children’s book. It could be read...
