...The complication with this situation is that the athletes are not only getting themselves in a hassle, but their athletic departments as well. College athletes have very hectic schedules they follow, and when completed with their schedules they are left with very little free time. Student athletes are demanded to take a minimum of twelve credit hours to start the semester, which is 4 classes per semester, and required to pass at least nine credit hours by the end of- the semester which Is a headache, and can become very overwhelming on an average 18-19-year-old college freshman. With this standard having to be achieved, the athletes are spending more hours studying, and attending class. Other from studying and showing up to class, the athletes then must drag their self to practice. Going to practice and participating takes up about five to seven hours of the athlete’s day which Is 1/3 of the day. After all of this is done and over with, the athletes are left with only a few hours for them to spend time with friends, as well as the people that matter to them, or even have some quality time alone to just relax and watch a...

...state (or at least nowhere near me) when it was in theaters, but it didn't keep me from promoting this film. I interviewed both the actor Marshall Teague and the director Mike Norris long before I was privileged to see the film. I did everything I could to promote this film, and I did my best to keep up with everything regarding the latest news concerning it. Therefore, the moment it went on sale, I bought it. And I was even sent extra movies at no cost to distribute to my friends and family (which I have). We showed this at my church Bible study. The entire family had the opportunity to watch it,...

...mysticism to find answers has merit. As pointed out in a previous critique of Westerhoff’s book,[4] mysticism, subjectivity, intuition and imaginative reflection weave their way through the descriptions of spiritual disciplines and this is also true, to some extent, in The Celebration of Discipline and The Spirit of the Disciplines. The apparent differences in style and emphasis appear to stem from each author’s religious orientation (i.e., Westerhoff functions as a priest in the Episcopalian Church and is oriented to Roman Catholic mysticism, Foster is a Quaker grounded in the mysticism and intuitive approach of the Friends and Willard is an evangelical Baptist who embraces the spiritual formation movement). They all seem draw heavily from extra-biblical sources and not upon exegesis for their contentions. In Celebration of Discipline Foster lists twelve spiritual disciplines: meditation, prayer, fasting, Bible study, simplicity, solitude, submission, service, confession, worship, guidance and celebration. Ultimately, however, he writes that his list is not comprehensive and can be supplemented with others of one’s choosing...

...Student learning outcomes are a very important part of any training activity (video, presentation, power point, role playing, etc.), because if the training program is not effective, then students/trainees will not learn. The training methods used and the delivery style and appearance of the trainer significantly impact student learning outcomes. Training environment is also very important because there must not be distractions or uncomfortable surroundings. A good trainer must connect with the audience, engage people, effectively deliver information and meet the objectives of the training program. To ensure that I understood “student learning outcomes,” I researched this topic on multiple web-sites, including ones from the University of Washington, Ohio University, the University of North Carolina in Charlotte, California State University and Carnegie Mellon University. I also reviewed our text book to be sure elements of what we have learned throughout this course were incorporated, as well as the use of appropriate verbs for training objectives and learning outcomes (p. 86). I watched 14 training videos on YouTube and also included my own basic training experience at Fort Sill with the Georgia National Guard. Army Basic Training: In my three month basic training program for the Georgia National Guard at Fort Sill, OK., we learned a range of skills from shooting guns to physical fitness to discipline to caring for our uniforms. There also were some top tips...

...Jacob Tatum English 1302 – XW4 April 19, 2014 Professor Lee Exploring the Consumer Society: The Urge to Splurge I grew up in a middle-class neighborhood in McKinney, Tx. The high school I went to, McKinney High School, had students in attendance whose parents were on government assistance, students whose parents were in the top 10% of the top 1% financially and everywhere in between. Consider this, if you took a group of randomly selected students from my high school and your goal was to estimate their household income based upon the value of their possessions (phone, clothes, jewelry, shoes, etc...) you'd most likely get it all wrong. This is because it doesn't matter where you come from, how much money you have, or what you look like; you're a customer, you're a consumer. We live in a society today and I went to a high school where people are judged based upon their possessions and what they can acquire. It doesn't matter how you acquired it, as long as you've got it. I think that judging people based off of what they own is a huge mistake. I think it's unfortunate we are constantly purchasing things because of a brand or a logo, but at the same time I don't practice what I'm preaching. It's interesting to me that as I begin to think about it, I don't think any of the nice things I own are bringing me happiness right now, they have only provided some form of instant gratification. If someone asked me what I have to be happy about, I'd provide the cliché answer along the...

...will crumble under its own weight when the infrastructure gives way. The poor will scatter out of the way, and the rich will have the farthest to fall, and the hardest time adjusting. The poor (not including the government supported) have been trained for so long at surviving with a mere fraction of what is necessary for survival, that they will band together, and live off the land as they must. The rich, on the other hand will suddenly find that their wealth now holds no sway upon anyone, and will become the new poor. The will be poorer than the poor because they will have no idea what it takes to survive in a world where everything is not at their disposal, where everything and anything can be had simply by waving a wad of cash or playing golf with their senator buddy to get a new law passed that turns their millions into billions.

...The People You Meet In College THE 1 HIT WONDER You will never hear this guy/girl ever say anything, whether it be to other students or the professor. Then one day, after looking extremely intense or constipated for an hour straight, they will say something so gloriously insightful that it will bring tears to the eyes of everyone who bears witness to it. Then they will never speak again. THE KID THAT NO-ONE LIKES This kid is a jerk! And for arguments sake let’s call him “DANNY.” You desperately want to punch him in his ear, but he’s disabled. And because he disabled he makes sure to make EVERYONE mad. This kid will sometime attempt to befriend you then manage to say or do something so unspeakably rude or offer some sort of backwards compliment. Parties disassemble whenever this guy manages to find his way to one. Everyone avoids him but secretly watches him to see if he will lose a crutch while walking or roll down the stairs just to get in a good chuckle. THE SUBURBAN RAPPER The Suburban Rapper can be found in any common area, listening to his own music on his IPOD at an unreasonable volume. Generally (but not always) white, he awkwardly uses the words Dog, Crib, Homie, Phat, G, or Ill. If he spots you, he’ll ask you to “peep this new track yo,” or attempt to sell you tickets to his concert. His music is generally unbearable, and if you’re lucky, you can get away with only hearing a few verses. He always seems surprised that his poser antics never land him a girl...

...the film were even more sharp. When the movie was finished and the credits started rolling, I sat quietly, pondering the fear of war and all the sacrifices that come with it. It is indeed breath taking. The cast of the film is very genuine. David Haig, whose face looked very familiar to me more than his name, really stood out. Not only does he look like the real Rudyard Kipling, but it is said that he spent over 20 years practicing to fit the real Kipling’s story to stage and screen. David plays Kipling role with great arrogance and patriotism. Even though what he was doing was not pleasant, putting his son in a dangerous situation, for most people it was credible. Harry Potter’s Daniel Radcliffe on the other hand is unforgettably good as the boy who enters the fray of WW1 despite being completely incompetent. Even though Jack had very poor eye site, this did not hold back Kipling’s actions to help his son join the army force. His performance as Jack is very real that as some point, I internally screamed NO! when he directs and leads his group to fight. Daniel Radcliffe brings both power and sadness at the same time in his role, especially when he speaks to his father for the last time and takes off. Another very significant cast member is Carrie Mulligan. Carrie began her acting career in 2005 and even though she is an Amature when is comes to acting, she displayed a very Professional part playing as Kipling’s independent daughter, Elsie - the only one of Kipling’s...

...History of Sports betting in the American Culture Sport betting was a natural part of the culture of the early Americans. Between then and now, the sport betting industry has dramatically increased in popularity and has adapted with changes along the way. Americans, as a society, often frown upon anything to do with gambling and view it as a vice, however, there are some advantages to what the Sports Betting industry can offer should it be made legal. Sports betting(and gambling in general) can lead to a destructive lifestyle, is the cause of many strained relationships as well as cause a huge deficit of debt for someone, among other consequences. Americans know these ramifications and continue to part take in the action but obviously not for those reasons. Sport betting socially has its benefits as well such as winning money, fun and excitement, and even getting out of debt. Sports betting in America is a national past time in its own right and the idea of legalizing it has been a constant battle among it’s lawmakers. The founders of the United States were risk-takers by nature, hence the obvious attraction to gambling in all forms. Back then, people bet on makeshift horse races, cockfights and bare-knuckle brawls since there was not much else. Colonists from England had gambling in their blood since their fathers and grandfathers had been doing it for generations - not only in hopes of a profit but also as a form on leisure and entertainment(California Libraries, Web)...

...Proposal for an Integrated Conflict Management System MBA 561: Conflict Management Jones International University September 2012 In Mark 10: 9 (King James Bible Version), Jesus tells us “What therefore God hath joined together, let no man put asunder”. Clearly, the Son of God and beloved Savior informs his chosen believers that God, the Almighty Father, operates through solidity. It is therefore a concern of Gods as to why his house, the church, has become a home divided and confrontational. The writer of this paper intends to explore all possible explanations for such chaos, while offering strategic and accurate concepts for resolution. Proposal for an Integrated Conflict Management System Many names can be used to describe a church; the official house of God, the sanctuary, the place of peace, and my personal favorite, “The spiritual grocery store for the souls needs.” On surface, one would assume that such a place would the grounds for constant peace and unity amongst its administrative staff as well as its members. Oddly enough, despite the communicated perfection of God himself, the church too suffers from many areas of conflict based on the imperfections of those who are involved. With the help of Herman Blanding, head pastor for the Faith with Works ministry, my goal is to passionately explore and accurately assess conflict management within the church, and present the absolute best conclusions to help bring the church to its desired state of unity, obedience...
