...t’s not easy to miss the conceit in “Ang Pagdadalaga ni Maximo Oliveros.” Because of the penchant of Filipino cinema for tearjerkers and comedies tackling the travails, joys and puppy loves of adolescents and teenagers, it seems only a matter of time for our film artists to do more of the same but with a certain refocusing: if straight children could fall in love with adults, why not gay kids? In Maxi, writer Michiko Yamamoto, director Aureus Solito, and producer Raymond Lee have found a character so appealing, so irresistible that they could never go wrong with the movie. And as played by young actor Nathan Lopez, the character is incredibly charismatic. It helps that despite his prettiness, Lopez plays the 12-year-old princess without affectation but with a freshness that could only come from the fact that he’s straight. It could not have been otherwise since Maxi lives in a straight, sordid world. His father (played brilliantly by Soliman Cruz) is a petty thief; he has passed on the trade to Maxi’s “brusko” brothers, Bogs (Neil Ryan Sese) and Boy (Ping Medina). Maxi doesn’t quite become Boney to this family of Clydes since he has stopped schooling in order to keep house and fill it with the scents of his merry cooking and the grace and charm of his presence. He becomes their Ma Barker minus the advanced years, the menacing scowl, and the trigger-happy machine gun. When Maxi is rescued from neighborhood thugs by a kind rookie cop, Victor, (J.R. Valentin), he switches...

...Knockout Mice Technology | Submitted By : Wasman ID : 11136007Course ID : BTE 402 | Knockout Mice Technology | Submitted By : Wasman ID : 11136007Course ID : BTE 402 | Modern medicine is the product of centuries of experiences in dealing with various diseases and disorders related to the human physiology. From the discovery of vaccination to the discovery of antibiotics, each medical breakthrough highlighted the success of humans in dealing with the prevailing medical issues of that time. With the discovery of the structure of DNA by Crick and Watson in the early 1950s, the focus on medical research has shifted to the understanding of the genetic cause of a particular disease. Because of this, we are now able to understand the pathophysiology behind much of the diseases that has been a mystery to us before. An example of this is cancer, which was initially untreatable, but now thanks to our ever improving understanding of the genetic and biochemical mechanisms of the disease we are almost a step closer to achieving a reliable cure. In order to understand the progression of a particular disease accurately, scientists need to recreate the symptoms in a controlled environment (e.g. a laboratory) within a living organism. Such organisms are known as model organisms, because they serve as a live model which allows us to explore the workings of the disease. Due to various ethical issues, using humans as model organisms are out of the question, so scientists...

...The Ronald McDonald House Charities history starts in 1974 when a Philadelphia Eagles player’s daughter became sick with leukemia. Fred Hill and his wife had no place to sleep other than waiting rooms and hospital benches during their daughter’s three years of hospitalization. The Hills and other families traveled many miles for treatment and were not able to pay for hotel rooms. The Eagles’ manager and Fred’s teammates raised funds to donate to the pediatric oncology unit to give short term housing for the families with sick children at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (n.d.) Retrieved from http://www.rmhccoastalempire.org/-mcdonald-house-charities-of-the-coastal-empire-inc. The Eagles manager, Jim Murray, requested help from the local McDonald’s advertising company and enough aid was raised to purchase an old house near the hospital. In 1974, this became the first Ronald McDonald House. The Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) of the Coastal Empire began in 1986 and is one of 338 Ronald McDonald Houses around the world. Each House is an independent, community agency. The Savannah RMCH has thirteen bedrooms and is usually on a waiting list.

Please map out your detailed plan of action. The case in question requires Martha McCaskey to perform tasks in relevance to the Silicon 6 project that might hamper her integrity towards work. However, there is a major stake of her losing the promotion that she is expectant and has been promised. Furthermore, Mr. Phil Devon’s eagerness to help her in a sincere way is killing her more in the process of getting the information that she needs from him. Very primarily, our task, in imagining ourselves as Martha McCaskey lies in making sure to get the insider information from the target competitor of our company’s client. The insider information that we are now seeking is about the manufacturing of a chip for our client, so as to help our client. The constraints and challenges that lie before us in obtaining that information are as follows: 1. The potential information provider, Mr. Phil Devon is sincere in his attempt to share the information, provided that we come forth with specific information, provided by our clients. 2. Our integrity in asking for insider information, the consequence of which might invoke bad temper in Mr. Phil Devon and which might also lead Mr. Devon complaining to the concerned authorities about the whole set-up. 3.

...Bruce Almighty, A Lesson in Integrity Tenetta Griffin English 225 Melissa Rigney January 14, 2014 Bruce Almighty, A Lesson in Integrity Jim Carrey is a talented comedian and I have enjoyed every film that I’ve seen him in. I selected Bruce Almighty for an in-depth film analysis because of how the talented actors helped put a unique spin on the whole god/human relationship for the modern day moviegoer. This movie is not designed to be an in-depth expose on the god/human relationship but a platform to gently remind the audience the of how important our decisions affect where we are in life and gives us a moment to pause and think about what kind of future do we really desire. In my opinion, the film Bruce Almighty utilizes Jim Carrey's comedic talents to address the heavy topic of the god/human relationship and the moral issue that the director wants the share with the audience is that our free will should be exercised a modicum of human integrity to effectively resolve our own personal issues/dilemmas. My first step in analyzing Bruce Almighty involves taking a closer look at plot development and how this movie took the universal truth concerning how mankind in general tends to get frustrated with God when things just don’t go their way while taking it down a unconventional comedic path to help lighten up the seriousness of the topic. The director of Bruce Almighty’s tells the story from a mixed point of view which means we sometimes learn what is going on at the same...

...Strategic Perspective and Ethics Key Issue The key issue involving Tesla Motors is the organizations approach to marketing their product and social mission. The fundamental idea behind the company’s existence is to create vehicles that require sustainable energy as oppose to fossil fuel dependency. The demand for their products is built on the zoom out, bigger picture idea that consumers will eventually switch from the current fossil fuel powered cars to alternative energy powered cars in the future (Kanter, 114). The founder and current Chief Executive Officer, Elon Musk, created this organization based on his long term vision that the future of automobiles requires a less oil dependent vehicle. Tesla Motors has consistently reported losses since implementation but the growth and popularity of the organization is based on the future potential and not present success. Shareholders and those involved will eventually want to see real results for them to continue to support Musks bigger picture (Kanter, 114). By non-GAAP standards the company has reported an expectation to create positive earnings and cash flow by early 2016 but previously the company has failed to meet short term expectations (https://hbr.org/2015/05/teslas-not-as-disruptive-as-you-might-think). The lack of profit stems from a combination of dismal efforts to reach more consumers and generate awareness, the costs associated to purchase a vehicle and Teslas approach to marketing and generating sales. Tesla Motors...

...Twelfth Night The section of the play that I have chosen is the scene in which Sir Toby and Sir Andrew are both drunk and are throwing the balls into the stage with the fool. I chose this section because it stood out very distinctively because of all the actions that were happening in it. In the scene Sir Toby and Sir Andrew were playing around with the fool and making a lot of noise whilst the others who were living in the house were asleep. Malvolio the butler kept on coming onto the stage every so often to tell Sir Toby, Sir Andrew and the fool to be quiet. It started by the fool running to the back of the stage and grabbing the foam balls and hats and then making Sir Toby and Sir Andrew put the hats on. The musicians then started playing very upbeat and loud music whilst Toby, Andrew and the fool threw the foam balls into the crowd for them to throw back at them. This then went on for several minutes. Whilst in the middle of all this, pizzas were passed through the crowd by the fool. Every so often Malvolio would come onto the stage and when he did all the music would stop and it would go silent. He did this because everyone else in the house was trying to sleep and they couldn’t because of Toby, Andrew and the fool. Once Malvolio had left the stage all the music would start again and Toby, Andrew and the fool would start throwing the balls back into the crowd. Some members of the audience were pulled out to put the hats on and stand in the middle of the stage to catch...

Wacker Dr. Chicago, IL 60606 United States To whom it may concern, I am interested in becoming a participant in the Deloitte National Leadership Conference. I am currently studying for a degree in Accountancy at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. From the start of my first accounting class I read about the esteemed reputation of Deloitte services. One day after listening to current employees speak about their experiences I was immediately interested in Deloitte. My education at the University of Illinois has granted me with many opportunities to strengthen my ability to work well in a group as well as my leadership skills. In my business classes we are given multiple group projects where I have gained much experience in working together with others. I am usually working with students that I do not know personally and that has strengthened my ability to work as part of a team where I listen to the others opinions, ask for help when needed and effectively accomplish the work we are given. Aside from working with others in the classroom I am also a board member of a club named U.N.F.A.S. (Unidos Nuestra Fuerza Avanzara Siempre) which is a latino/a housing organization that provides workshops and philanthropic events to help students in a variety of ways. For example, I was involved in a workshop where we organized a panel of students to...

...Gray Case: Moss and McAdams Accounting Firm 1. If you were Palmer at the end of the case, how would you respond? If I were in Palmer’s position, I would accept Sands and Olds choice and move on as the bottom line is to work towards accomplishing the organization’s goals. Considering the toll the situation had on Olds, it would be only fair to grant his wish and ensure that things get back right on track. In addition, I would also persuade Sands to find someone who has a skill set close to Olds, so that the slipping schedule can be brought back on track and ensure that the project is completed successfully. I would also convey my message that I did not appreciate a key resource being pulled mid way to work on another project to the senior management so that this situation can be avoided if possible in future. 2. What, if anything, could Palmer have done to avoid losing Olds? Palmer should have engaged in a conversation with the Project Sponsor to explain the importance of having Olds on the Johnsonville Project, which may have encouraged Crosby to look for another suitable employee. Considering the basic nature of the Johnsonville project and the high profile status of Crosby’s project, it makes more sense for Olds to move to Crosby’s project keeping the company’s goals in mind. In addition, Crosby seemed to be relationship oriented, indeed he gave his team some rewards such as lunch at a good restaurant, game of golf, tickets to the baseball games. In contrast, Palmer...

...Sir Arthur Evans was a famous and somewhat controversial British archaeologist. Studying history at the Universities of Oxford and Göttingen, Evans later became Keeper of the Ashmolean Museum at Oxford. He was known for extracting or uncovering artifacts from ancient societies. After unearthing some of the sites, Sir Arthur Evans of Nash Mills would go on to restore his findings in an attempt to bring them back to life per say. Throughout his days, Sir Arthur made some very crucial discoveries as it pertains to ancient archaeology such as his excavation of the Palace at Knossos. Sir Arthur Evans was born in 1851 in Nash Mills, Hertfordshire, England. His initial interest in archaeology stemmed from the period of 1884 to 1908 where he became interested in seals which were essentially tiny carved stones. These seals were sources of inscriptions from ancient, pre-Classical Mediterranean civilizations. He as the article reads was particularly drawn to Crete as one such source of seals containing undeciphered early inscriptions. Sir Arthur first visited Crete in 1894 to study and decipher two types of unknown scripts appearing on Cretan seals. This would be the...

...Those Few Minutes Maybe she was born this way. Maybe she has to be crazy to love the sport, to love gymnastics. It destroys her body. It takes up nearly all of her life all for a few seconds on the mats. Sometimes she has to ask herself, “Is it worth it?” She always answers yes. Those few minutes mean the world to her. Whether she walks off or has to be carried off, the pain endured on those mats will always be worth those few minutes. If she loses or if she wins, whether her routine falls apart or marks perfection, those mats are worth it. That is why she gives everything while competing. The rush of air as she flies through the air, the sound of the excited crowd arises the second she sticks her landing. She smiles widely even when she aches from pain, because of these few moments. She will give her last few minutes on the floor with the realization that these minutes meant everything to her and that provides the motivation to give everything she has. When she is competing she can feel it. The blood rushing to her face, she feels the nerves that are seemingly impossible to control. Her legs and hands shake, for fear of making a devastating mistake. Her success all depends on the performance she can give in such a minuscule amount of time. On December 3rd, 2010, she went to Regionals. Her goal was to score perfectly on beam. She counted to three, inhaled, and mounted the beam. Drops of sweat beaded up on her forehead. It was halfway through her routine, when she fell on her...

...This is one of Nathan Sawaya’s signature piece titled “Yellow”. At a glance, the first words that we think of are ‘yellow’, ‘Lego’ and ‘torn’. However, if we look at this sculpture patiently, then more complicated and abstract words like ‘repent’, ‘suffering’, and “absolvent” come to mind. The reason I found this exhibit so intriguing is because of the world of opposite going on within it. Play bricks or Lego, which are such simple and innocent play toys for children have been used to construct a sculpture which has a very eerie and dark vibe emitting from it. The color ‘yellow’ too, adds to this one of a kind ‘unity in conflict’. One would associate yellow with happiness, laughter and maybe even hope. However, the kinds of emotion and sentiment this sculpture screams out are those of a darker shade like black and maroon. I believe this unison of light and dark elements of the sculpture is what gives it its balanced and at the same time, intriguing appeal. My imagination makes me believe that light plays a very important role in the whole exhibit. Without the lighting, the ‘story’ would be incomplete. The sculpture looks up as if it were reaching out to a higher, more divine entity. There are several interpretations that resonate in the sculpture - A devotee performing a cleansing ritual for the God he believes in, a sinner in the middle of a confession, a commoner trying to relieve himself of stress or maybe even a lover ‘pouring his heart out’ to his long lost love! Imagination...
