...Action Verbs It’s like—I could stress out in my early twenties, and get work done and get that assignment in and write down what the professor says, but for what? To go work with my dad in this crazy market? (Enlighten). That does not sound like fun to me! (Urge). So—what? What’s left? Option One—Pull a Davis. Stress about what you are told to do and force an early life heart attack on yourself. Not judging, just saying (Criticize). And there’s Option Two: The Cooper way. Four years? Hell no. Five. Six. Six and a half (Challenge). I know people. And this way, I end up saving time. (Assert) Why? Because people who opted for Option One work towards retirement, but the high blood pressure and anxiety and the extra bullshit stress decrease the chance of that 401K seeing the light of day (Validate). So us Option Two guys—we’ll cry at your funeral and mutter something about you being too young to die, but those extra three years I took in college, they turn into twenty or forty extra years added to my vacation time called “life.” (Motivate/Persuade). You want a beer? (Ease). Character Personality Cooper is most likely a super college senior. He comes from a wealthy family (his father is a CEO). Since he has a place to work for sure once he graduates, he is not worry about school. He doesn't date and doesn't plan to. He’s super laid back kind of person. He likes to take the time to enjoy the things he does. He’s more about being stress-free than being successful. He cares about...

...[QUOTE=Grogin;1531721]I love that people feel the bard class is going to be destroyed because game mechanics will finally apply to them. It is doubtful they are actually going to nerf any skills. They are just not going to let bards fire while moving and have as many instant cast situations. Bard is still going to be sought after because of their utility and ability to avoid damage being a ranged class. They are still going to be an integral part of end game content.[/QUOTE] I think the reason people take issue with the bard nerfs is because despite not having to deal with any damage reduction, as a result of mechanics, bards are still performing beneath many of the other dps roles. Obviously there are going to be fights where bards shine (see: Titan) because of constant movement. However, within Coils you'll be hard pressed to find a situation where that level and frequency of movement is required. The bard "hype" at the launch of the game was just an exaggerated knee-jerk reaction that everyone had after seeing how strong bards were in the Titan fight, and how well they were performing with low gear levels across the board. Fast forward almost two months and the other classes have geared up and blown by bards numerically. At this point bards have two things: mobility and utility. Everyone seems to complain about bard mobility like it's too much but similar reactions could be thrown at summoner mobility; once their dots are up a good majority of the summoners damage...

...Information Systems and Organizational Departments The technology and information systems of today have penetrated every aspect of business and personal life. In one’s personal life individuals use personal computers, cell phones, and other electronic devices to store and carry personal information. In the business world, information systems have become essential to the smooth, ceaseless operations associated with business. Regardless of the department, one works in accounting, marketing or human resources, understanding and using information systems properly is essential to one’s personal and business success. The information systems used in accounting are a complex combination of modern technology and traditional accounting restraints used to provide the necessary financial information to manage an organization. Benefits of computerized information systems in accounting include speed, and accuracy. However, the system also possesses disadvantages including less documentation, and complicating the process of determining where errors occur (Grudinsku & Burch, 1989, p. 325). The primary components of accounting information systems include input devices, processing, and output devices. Common input devices include computers, scanning devices, and data entry. When working with accounting information the “double entry” model of the fifteenth century is still in use today. Typical output devises include printers, computer monitors, and electronic communication devices. Together these...

...5gendpolite4.doc; Oct 2002 word count: 13,276 Chapter 5: Gender and Politeness Introduction Given the model of gender described in the last chapter where gender is dispersed into practices and contexts/communities of practice, and is oriented to by individuals in relation to their perceptions of race and class stereotypes, rather than being located at the level of the individual, and also given the model of linguistic politeness as described in Chapters 2 and 3, where politeness/impoliteness is considered to be a matter of assessment within a context and the result of complex negotiations with perceptions of appropriacy norms and stereotypes, it is difficult, if not impossible, simply to approach the relation between gender and politeness as a question of an investigation of the production, by individual men or women of a number of linguistic features which are assumed to be unequivocally polite or impolite. What I would like to do instead is to consider the complexity of the relationship between gender and politeness, so that the common-sense nature of gender and politeness and their relation to each other is troubled. Here, I aim to analyse the way that certain practices which are considered to be polite or impolite are, within particular communities of practice, stereotypically gendered. As I discussed in Chapter 4, these stereotypes do not actually exist as such, but are hypothesised by particular speakers and hearers within communities of practices, on the...

...Abortion Really? XXXXXXX English March XX, 2010 Richard Kamerman Abortion really? What is one of the most controversial issues in the United States today? If one of the top answers is abortion, then that is correct. Many women and their partners are often brought to this crossroad when choosing to end an unwanted pregnancy. These same individuals fail to completely realize the ramifications that follow once this procedure is done. Even though the procedure is considered relatively quick and easy, abortion must not be allowed because aborting a child is inhumane and can cause health and psychological side effects. An abortion, in general, is a procedure or operation performed to a woman that terminates a pregnancy prematurely by a perceived “quick and easy procedure”. Women who opt to do abort can have this procedure done in a one days’ time. They have the option of having a “Medical Abortion” or a “Suction Abortion”. A medical abortion is a non-surgical procedure and is also commonly referenced to as “taking the pill”. Most women prefer this method as it is quick, easy, and discreet since it can be done either at a medical clinic or if they choose to in the privacy of their home. A suction abortion is the other option or actual medical invasion procedure that can be done. According to the Pregnancy Advisory Service (2010) para. 1-4 “This procedure takes approximately fifteen to twenty minutes. A doctor or physician will take an...

...Argumentative Essay: Is it really worth it? LABR 1F90 Haseeb Mohammad 5591979 T.A – Nathan Cecckin March 25, 2016 “I do not support raising the minimum wage, and the reason is as follows. When the minimum wage is raised, workers are priced out of the market. That is the economic reality that seems, at least so far, to be missing from this discussion.” as John Sununu states, raising minimum wage is not a great decision. The minimum wage rate must not increase for the reason that this will put many firms out of business, and will also lower the employment rate. Assuming firms are employing resources at maximum efficiency, increasing the labor wages will cause immense damage. An increase in minimum wage will not help our economic system become efficient; in order to allow our economy to run smoothly there mustn’t be an increase in labor wages. Increasing wage rates will increase the unemployment rate resulting in an increase in inflation allowing an increase in poverty, increasing the minimum wage rate will also increase the expenses for businesses, and lastly it will also affect a majority of high school students. If the industries suppliers’ prices increase along with the wages many industries will start to go bankrupt because of the decrease in demand for the industries’ products, resulting in a decrease of employment for low skilled workers, or young people just as Niels Veldhuis & Sylvia LeRoy explain in their academic journal, “Specifically, he concluded...

...Tutorial 9 Cascade Control Description: The tutorial gives a series of exercises on the proper design of cascade controls, which can dramatically improve the performance of feedback control systems, when it is designed and implemented correctly. The first exercise is about determining whether the cascade control was possible in the design of furnace coil outlet temperature control. If it not properly designed, appropriate changes must be made. The same thing is done with the second exercise but this time; bottoms composition analyzer control for distillation was designed. The last two exercises are about choosing the correct characteristics of primary and secondary variable sensors. Generalization: Cascade is possible only if it meets the cascade design criteria. For the first exercise, which is the furnace coil outlet temperature control, in fuel supply pressure, cascade is better. The flow controller will compensate for the disturbance. Whether the secondary corrects for the complete disturbance depends on the flow sensor. In an orifice meter, the density changes with pressure. Therefore, maintaining the flow measurement (ΔP) constant does not maintain the actual flow constant. The mass flow rate can be measured by a mass flow meter, such as a coriolos meter. The total heat release depends on the mass flow rate for light gas hydrocarbon fuels without hydrogen. Therefore, maintaining mass flow rate constant will completely compensate for pressure changes. Cascade control with...

...My brother just broke up with his girlfriend. Ayan. Akala ko okay sila. But it's not. Dadating talaga sa punto na kayo nalang talaga ang magkakaintindihan. And their friends might like it or not. Intentionally or not, magagawa nila kayong saktan. Anyway, what I'm trying to say is...falling in love sucks. Sa una lang yan. And you'll get tired of each other. And later, you'll start bickering like an old couple. And I'm just starting to wonder...do they ever loved each other? Or they just love the idea of being in love? Did they just engage in a relationship just to feel the "kilig"? Yun ang mga tanong ko. Mahal ba talaga nila ang isa't isa? It's not just only about my brother's relationship. I think it's about all of the couples. Kung mahal nila talaga yung nobya o nobyo nila, bakit sila nagbebreak? Again. Sa una lang lahat. Syempre you get to try things with your "loved one". Dates, movies, roadtrips surprises etc. etc. Then mauubusan ng idea. And of course, bilang dakilang third wheel ng lahat ng kaibigan ko na may ka-relasyon, nakita ko yung mga "flaws" nila. Bakit ganun? Nagsasawa sila then back to strangers? Ako nga nasasayangan sa months or years na sila. But yeah. Sino ba ako diba? I am just an observer. Maybe they're not mature enough to handle the situation. Especially for the first timers. Nakita ko yun sa friends ko. I thought they were happy. Also, the couple that I liked so much na super ko na nga i-ship. But those two were so complicated and confusing. Away bati...

...one’s perfect. We all learn from something – by observing, listening, asking. Sometimes, we learn from others’s mistakes. But other times, we find ourselves confronted with the consequences brought about by our own mistakes. Whether done intentionally or unintentionally, mistakes are mistakes. And as we are human beings, we have no power to press rewind and do things over. It’s done, it’s there, we have to deal with it – that’s life. I would like to thank you because : For the new experiences and adventures we gained from traveling For the stories we shared simply because we needed someone to talk to, For the mistakes we made that got us into trouble but made us closer, For the disagreements that helped us accept each other for who we really are, For the laughter and smiles we shared, For the times we helped each other out, For the nights we watched movies or series together, For the pictures we took together… The past will always be a part of our lives we can’t control. It’s done. Whatever happened, happened. Whoever came and stayed, stayed; and the others, well maybe they just weren’t meant to make it to the present. But who knows about the future, right? I’ve realized not too long ago that I’ve been trapping myself in the past, comparing whatever happens to what already happened. And by doing so, I’ve unconsciously been restricting myself of enjoying what I have now. The habit to compare the past to the future comes from the fear of repeating the past. A way I’ve...

...I am a teacher and my student bought a paper from your site. I’m verifying it. Benefits of Watching TV While Steve John used a lot of different examples in his “Watching TV Makes You Smarter”, he in fact did so to show that there are many evidences to prove his claim, and as long as the readers have watched at least two shows that he talks about, the point is quite clear that the TV series industry has well improved its role in exercising our mind in the last few decades. John’s work, however, bewilders readers easily with its novel graphs and manifold examples of outdated shows. With his new way of illustration, readers may have to be familiar with TV shows; how scenes take place at various times and places have clues to the one main story line; how the seemingly unrelated plots interwoven together to make a bigger and more profound story line. But if read closely the graphs are not hard to understand, and while Johnson clearly isn’t writing to people who don’t watch TV, the shows he brings up would be nonsense to the group, and on top of that it is not necessary for the readers to even know the shows he talks about, if the readers can pay most of their attention on structure change of the shows, and not the contents of them. As Johnson putted “ Over the last half-century, programming on TV has increased the demands it places on precisely these mental faculties. ” According to Johnson, these faculties are attention, patience, retention, and the parsing of narrative thread...

...Is There Really Celebrity Justice? Under the United States Constitution it states, that all men are created equal. Numerous, people believe that all are not equal, and all are not treated the same in today’s so-called “equal” justice system. “There can be no equal justice where the kind of trial a man gets depends on the amount of money he has” (Cole 3) In one source, many people argue that our criminal justice system is based on the premise and promise of equality before the law, but at times predicate on the exploitation of inequality (Cole 5) Some feel no matter the crime, the rich and famous will find a way to settle out of court, pay off witnesses or just erase some or all charges against them. Celebrities get the best lawyers and the best chance at justice that money can buy”. (“Times”) There are many court cases that lead people to believe the justice system is unfair. Celebrities, in the eyes of the public, receive less time than the average American citizen for the same crime. Furthermore, celebrities also receive more publicity than the average American citizen. Why do celebrities receive more camera time and less punishment time? However, our judicial system claims that all men are equal in the court of law. For example, in the court case of Marcus Dixon, a high school football player at Pepperell High School in Floyd County, Georgia, the state Supreme Court sentenced Dixon to ten years in prison. He was a black athlete accused of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old...

...I was thinking about myself as to who am I ? When I self-introspected a bit, I realised that like every individual I am a person who loves independence. But when I actually looked outside, I found that this independence is a figment of our imagination. One question that came to my mind was that even after several years of independence, are we really Independent ? During the formative years, I was under the guidance of my parents and was totally dependent on them. Their influenced has made me what I am today ! When I grew up and went to school, I was bounded by the rules and regulations. The same was applicable even for the college. At every point of time, I remember the quote, “Man is born free but lives in chains”. That time people used to say that all this will be helpful to me in becoming a good citizen and once I become an adult, I will be free and can live my life independently. On my 18th birthday, I was very excited that now I will be independent and will make a new world of my own, making all my decisions independently. But, was this really possible ? Soon my dreams were dashed to the ground. All that was around me was blood and more blood ! Every sight caused me immense pain and every time I questioned myself, are we independent ? Although we’ve fought for independence but still we aredependent much more than what we were before. I found the society to be very conservative, in reality it is not at all independent. Whatever I did, I was imposed to follow certain ethics...
