There were twenty boats floating nearby… and only one came back. One. Six were saved from the water, including myself. Six… out of fifteen hundred. Afterwards the seven hundred people in the boats had nothing to do but wait… wait to die… wait for an absolution that would never come. (Titanic, 97) In the movie an older Rose stated this quote about the sinking of the Titanic. The movie Titanic is based upon a true story that happened in 1912.

...athletes. He started in his mother’s laundry room using canvas and spare materials. With the assistance of his brother Zehlein (who made the metal spikes) and later his older brother Rudolf (who joined in 1924), the brothers formed the Dassler Brothers Shoe Factory. Adi made it a point to attend every major sporting event in an effort to convince athletes to wear his shoes. By the 1928 Olympics in Amsterdam, several athletes were wearing special shoes from the Dassler workshop. By the early 1930s, the company was making 30 different shoe brands for 11 different sports and had a workforce of nearly 100. The 1936 Olympics in Berlin offered a great opportunity for Adi as he equipped Jesse Owens with spiked shoes that reportedly helped him to win 4 gold medals. In 1949 Adi produced the first shoes with molded rubber studs. A breakthrough in 1954 occurred for Adi when the Germans won the World Cup Soccer against Hungary, the Germans all wore Adidas shoes.

Should Marijuana Be Legalized?

...Should Marijuana be Legalized? Christina Coltharp ENG/102 March 3, 2013 Robyn Glasscock Wilkey (2012) a reporter for the Huffington Post in San Francisco writes: “A pair of scientists at California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco has found that a compound derived from marijuana could stop metastasis in many kinds of aggressive cancer, potentially altering the fatality of the disease forever” (para 1). Legalizing marijuana for medical and recreational use will allow for many great things to come to this country. A hundred million Americans have smoked marijuana at least once in their life to include the president, his two right hand men, the mayor of New York and numerous of other Americans of that 100 million at least 25 million of them are regular users of the drug (CNBC, 2010). Marijuana has become a part of the American life (CNBC, 2010). Marijuana comes from a dried plant that is created to induce euphoria. However, it is no more addictive than tobacco or alcohol and even can bring good to the body and mind. Marijuana legalization will help those with medical issues, lower crime rates, and help decrease debts in the United States. Legalizing marijuana for medical and recreational use will help people with medical issues such as cancer and glaucoma. According to the National Institute of Drug Abuse: The Science of Drug Abuse & Addiction, marijuana is classified as a drug that is not an acceptable form of medicine for those with medical concerns, to include...

It is heavily rooted in social media – supporters share experiences by Tweeting the #withoutshoes hashtag. AOL, a Simply Measured customer, partnered with TOMS to build online momentum leading up to 4/10. For us data geeks, AOL’s use of social media analytics was particularly interesting – both as a rally call for consumers and a as way to message results internally and externally. Looking at the data from these efforts serves as great case study for measuring and communicating social media analytics. Using Social Media Metrics as a Rally Call AOL created excitement around a social media metric – reach – asking consumers to help distribute the #withoutshoes messages to over 1,000,000 people before April 10th. By reporting reach each day of the campaign, AOL set a collective goal and communicated the impact to participants. At Simply Measured, we tend to think about social media programs like a megaphone. You put content in and when things work well, your messages get amplified. In this instance, AOL aligned their campaign goals around this amplification in a way that compelled consumers...

...are constantly clunking themselves in the skull. Cat Stevens' "Hard Headed Woman" was probably an Aries. Aries rarely say one thing and do another. They usually do the wrong thing and don't discuss it. Never point this out to an Aries unless you want your kidneys pulled out through your sinuses. Aries folks love Pisceans because Pisces people make them feel well-grounded. Aries love to laugh at the funny moon-people who suck their thumbs at age 35. Aries use guns to describe philosophical concepts. Whether you live in a palatial estate or a cardboard tepee, you will insist until death that it is exactly what you always wanted. Most Aries were concrete parking bumpers in at least two of their past lives. Aries are never born. They skip gaily from their mothers' wombs. This may even involve rollerblades. The Aries makes life decisions as a toddler. Aries marry several times for funnies but never divorce. Their spouses have many freak accidents resulting in death or crippling injury. Being infallible, God is probably an Aries. This would make Satan an Aquarius. Aries always hold management positions. If one is assigned to clean toilets, he will form a one-man union. Then he will go and picket in the parking lot. All of you think you're Lech Walesa. People run away when an Aries comes around. They know that if they do not, the Aries will set them on fire. Aries hate listening to Scorpios talk because they take pride in being even more self-centered. In fact, much to the Scorpios' dismay...

An Educational Companion to Eats, Shoots & Leaves

...Introduction: The Seventh Sense While completing the exercises in this book, keep in mind these differences between American English and British English: 1. Parentheses are called brackets. 2. Periods are called full stops. 3. Exclamation points are called exclamation marks. 4. 7:30 is written 7.30. 5. Americans place all terminal punctuation inside closing quotation marks, while British usage sometimes “picks and chooses.” Exercises Guaranteed to Bring Out Your Inner Stickler 1) Take a walk or drive through your village, town, or city and write down signs or advertisements that are egregiously punctuated. Look particularly for those “pesky apostrophes” and “delightful/horrific examples of idiotic sign-writing.” (Should you become obsessed with these outings, we suggest you wear a disguise and whip out your notebook when no one is looking. You do not want to be recognized as one of Lynne Truss’s sticklers on the prowl!) 2) When you have found a sign with a punctuation error, write a courteous letter explaining the correct use of the apostrophe and “express the gentle wish that, should the offending ‘Bob,s Pets’ sign, for example, be replaced, this well meant guidance might be borne in mind.” These letters won’t be necessary, after the A.P.S. (Apostrophe Protection Society) has created a more militant wing. 3) Look through your local newspaper and find errors such as, “DEAD SONS PHOTOS MAY BE RELEASED.” 4) Look on Amazon for a film/book review and, keeping...
