...species on earth. The other part of the countryside is diverse and is characterized by hills, mountains, plains, highlands and scrublands.[2] Due to the country’s large river system and its eight major drainage basins, Brazil wants to expand its hydroelectricity sector. The country already holds the second largest dam, after the Chinese Three Gorges Dam, the Itaipu Binacional dam. Currently the government is building the world’s third largest dam in the Amazon rainforest, the Belo Monte Dam, which is located on the Xingu River in the state of Pará. The project has been proposed in the mid-1970s and construction has been initiated in 2011. The dam is supposed to work at partial capacity in 2016 and will reach full power by 2019 to support the Brazilian government in their promise to reduce Carbon Dioxide emission by 40%, at a cost of $17 billion US-Dollar.

...number of agencies and citizens. We have tons of art museums, non-profit art organizations, and art centers. In Minnesota it seems that they try to incorporate art into every city. We also have things like the Minnesota State Arts Board, which is a state agency that simulates and encourages the creation, performance, and appreciation of arts in the state. We also have Partners in Arts Participation, which is a pilot grant program designed to broaden opportunities for Minnesotans to participate in the arts. Another program we have is called K-12 Arts Challenge Minnesota Grant, which is a noncompetitive grant program and funds are given out first come first serve. I do feel that we have enough support in Minnesota. The programs I named were just a few of the many programs we have to support art in the cities. I do however think people here need to be more supportive of children in arts. It is important to get them started at a young age and many people do not feel that art is important. I think it helps to expand a child’s way of thinking and it helps them to excel in other areas, because they know if something doesn’t work one way it’s time to take a new approach. My role in the creation and support of art in my community is very small and could get better. I do however start with my son, just like my parents did as well as my in-laws, at a very young age. I like to take him to the different places and help him to explore many of the opportunities we have in the state. It is important...

...As people, when we meet other people throughout our lives we usually begin to categorize or classify them and place a level of importance with them as well. For the people I have encountered in my life, I would classify them as supportive and the most important people in my life are my family. My family has been supportive of me since birth. As a child I was raised by a single mother along with my older brother and my two older sisters. Although things were difficult at times, my family always cared for me and consistently supported me as I grew older and developed in life. My family has supported me throughout my years of school and studies. They have always encouraged me to do the best I can and to always put as much effort into something as I can. There is no doubt in my mind that my family has always wanted me to succeed, though when I did fail, my family listened to me, took the time to understand how I felt, and then just encouraged me to pick myself back up and to try again. Growing up as the youngest, I was surrounded with support and encouragement from my older siblings. My older sisters spent quality time with me and always swore to protect me. My mother fed and cared for me. She taught me self-respect, self-discipline, and understanding the consequences of my actions while still showing me love every day. My older brother respected me, taught me to drive, and explained to me how to know when a guy was treating me right. My cousins are some of my best friends and...

Theoretical foundations, hypotheses, and research model * Backround * Work overload to be positively related to hotel managers’ burnout ( Perrewe,1991). Female middle managers in the hotel industry are suspectible to higher levels of burnout than male managers (Buick and Thomas 2001) * Salanova et al.

...“We Are Marshall” Reason for Choice of Movie The selection of film, I have chosen, is based upon my infatuation with the very intriguing storyline it offers. At first, one may believe that the storyline is nothing more than another movie concerning football. However, the storyline offers a combination of a beloved American sport, along with touching accounts of the lives of each main character, as they dealt with grief and despair independently. Most importantly, the storyline depicts the perseverance of one man who strived for perfection, even when everyone else neither believed in him nor shared his vision. “We are Marshall” correlates with the textbook as, the manner in which individuals adapt to difficult challenges vary from person to person. However, in order to achieve a true state of resiliency, one must allow the stages of grieving to be a fluid process. Finally, “We are Marshall” shows the actions of one, can lead to changes which positively impinge upon many. Summary of Movie “We are Marshall” is based upon a true story that occurred on November 14, 1970. “We are Marshall” begins with a plane crash that kills 75 members of the football team, including players, coaches, and fans. One can imagine how such a devastating event would impact the Marshall University community. Therefore, university President Donald Demond along with influential community members, decided in the best interest of the university, to discontinue the football program...

...environment; therefore they should not be subject to prejudicial treatment or discrimination from their peers and anyone supporting them. An individual’s background, upbringing and experiences can have an effect on attitudes towards individuals and groups, so it is important to recognise these. Personal prejudices, which may lead to discriminatory practice, can be overcome through developing a greater understanding of diverse groups in society. For example, teaching assistants can overcome these personal prejudices by finding out about the religious beliefs and cultures of the children they support, and by knowing about any special educational needs or disabilities. It is important not to make assumptions about children and young people. Finding out about their backgrounds, interests, abilities and individual needs will help teaching assistants to provide more effective, appropriate and personalised support. It is important that in order to develop children’s self confidence, a concerted effort is made by all those in a position of responsibility to include the pupil. This ranges from making necessary adaptations to facilities for the physically impaired to ensuring that no pupil is subject to discrimination either direct (such as name calling) or indirect (not taking their needs or preferences into account). This unit has afforded me the opportunity to continually promote equality and diversity in my role and that every child should be supported in learning in an inclusive...
