...Apparently he came from Millport, which was a big city near Lake Hideaway on the other side of the country. A lot of the girls are still fawning over him as if he is some Zac Efron but that’s just because new boys at my school are fresh meat, and so he became instantly popular. Almost all the girls at my school were basically throwing themselves at him. He has blue eyes, soft ivory coloured skin and short light brown hair. I promise you that I’m not one of the girls that is fawning over him, he may have the looks but honestly he seems like a dick. He moved with his family when he got traded to one of the two hockey teams in the city, The Beavers. Freeport may be only seven thousand people, or at least that's what the sign said when you came into the city, but it has two major city hockey teams, The Beavers and The Knights.

...Janet Adeosun Professor Hoffman English 103 11/15/2012 Abortion How would you feel if someone decided that you could never get a chance at life? What if you were never born? Imagine a nervous young female at a Doctor’s office about to make a decision that will not only change her life forever, but change the life of the child growing inside of her. People say they don’t want others making a decision about their lives but they are more than willing to make a choice about someone else’s life. No matter what your views are on the subject of abortion, you have to admit that abortions are just a display of selfishness. A child is a living being regardless of whether or not it has yet to be conceived. Someone’s financial circumstances, level of maturity, or any other factor, doesn’t not change the fact that the “thing” inside a woman’s womb is a living person. Abortion should be banned because of the effects it has psychologically, medically and socially. Abortion has become the most common procedure in unwanted pregnancies. Over 1.3 million abortions are done yearly in the USA. According to The Kaiser Family Foundation, “Approximately one-fifth (19%) of the 6.4 million pregnancies that occur in the U.S. end in abortion. About 19% of women having abortions in the U.S. are teens; 33% are between the ages of 20 and 24; and 48% are ages 25 and older” (1). One can agree that murdering innocent people is wrong. However, legalizing...

...Challenges Facing the Finance Industry This paper will explore three problems facing the finance industry. Those problems include cybersecurity, compliance with regulation, and risk management. Three solutions will also be addressed later in this paper. 1 When one thinks about the finance industry, banks, credit agencies, insurance companies, and equity firms may come to mind. Over the years financial institutions have not been up to par. With the financial crisis that happened in 2008, the world is still recovering and paying high taxes for the amount of debt that it acquired. As a result of that crisis, the financial industry faces challenges that include cybersecurity, complying with regulation, and risk management. Although the industry faces these challenges, there are solutions that can make things operate smoother. One of the finance industries biggest challenge this year is cybersecurity. According to Hewitt, “The potential hacking of sensitive customer information is a top threat facing the financial industry in 2014.” Technology is vastly changing, and more people are beginning to use different softwares to handle the financial side of the business. With technology evolving, hackers are getting more experienced, and cyber-attacks are beginning to occur more frequently and more wide spread than they have been in the past. According to Rodriguez, “As the cost of technology decreases, the barriers to entry for cybercrime drop, making it easier...

...worry about a new kind of WMDs – Weapons of Mass Disruption.” ― John Mariotti “Hacker; Someone who maliciously breaks into a system for personal gain.” (Beaver, 10) Hacking is a growing phenomenon that has proven itself to be a menace to both the public organizations and business security. In todays modern society it is very important for us to understand how hackers can infiltrate our systems and gain access to our personal information. Being knowledgeable about some of the common tools hackers are using will help us to protect our computers from being cracked into. Hacking has been around for decades dating all the way back to 1903 with the infamous Nevil Maskelyne who hacked into a wireless telegraphy demonstration by sending denigrating mores codes through a projector. (Marks) Another prominent, but more recent scandal was the attack on Target’s security and payment system that left millions of consumers credit card numbers and personal information open and at risk to be obtained for illegal use. Although Target spent 1.6 million on malware protection and had a team of security specialists watching for signs of intrusion, the hackers still gained access to the publics personal information. With all of the protection Target had surrounding its payment system some may wonder how a breach in security could have happened. These hackers were able to break into Target’s secured system by accessing their computers’ Random Access Memory, also known as RAM. RAM is defined as...

...Marcela Ramirez Professor Leverton English 1113 February 20, 2015 Claudia Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Claudia. Claudia was a small Native American who lived with her family and other families in the forest. She loved the forest and the forest loved her too. All of the forest animals were her friends and she always played with them. Her best friends were the beavers, especially one that she named Todd and a firefly named Zoe. Todd could talk but Zoe could not. Claudia liked to talk with them and asked them for opinions, they went everywhere together. Claudia’s dream was to become a Native American warrior, just like her father. However, becoming a warrior would be difficult because only boys could become warriors and go to war. Even though Claudia knew that, she saved the hope that when she grew up her tribe would allow her to become a warrior and fight for their rights. Time flew and Claudia had become a beautiful young woman ready to become a warrior. Claudia’s father had taught her how to ride a horse and use tools such as spears, bows and arrows, and all kind of knives. Girls usually did not learn those skills but Claudia’s father believed everyone should know how to fight, even girls. Claudia was very skillful, she practice every night, along with Todd and Zoe, to better her skills. One day, a man arrived at Claudia’s house with bad news from the chieftain. The English colonists were invading Claudia’s tribe land so they would need to form an...

...Is cheating and murder analogous? Is it the adrenaline rush of possibly getting caught? Maybe it’s like a drug once you start it you can’t stop. The legal definition of a serial killer is someone who has killed at least three people in a matter of thirty days. All serial killers are psychopaths and sociopaths, but be that as it may not all sociopaths and psychopaths are killers. To know a killer we have to get into the mindset of one. Nevertheless, the question that still stands is what makes a serial killer? The dictionary definition of a serial killer is a person who commits a series of murders, often with no apparent motive and typically following a characteristic, predictable pattern (Oxford). What is a sociopath? A sociopath is a person with a psychopathic personality whose behavior is antisocial, often criminal, who lacks a sense of moral responsibility or social conscience ( Dictionary).

...reading/listening – writing down notes in lecture, you are passive in the sense that you don’t evaluate which statements to accept and which to reject and you don’t consider the speakers pattern of reasoning. Mere disagreement – is both critical and active but is not open to alternative views. You enter with your own established beliefs already in mind. Cooperative enterprise – two people have opposing views; one person sets his beliefs aside and help the other to strengthen his argument. Critical reasoning misconceptions – it’s too rigid or linear, it supposes that there is a right and wrong point of view. Argument – reasons for believing something or acting in a certain way If the author is attempting to state what has happened, or what is the case, or what something is like, he is engaged in descriptive writing, not argumentation If he is trying to prove something by giving reasons, he is engaged in argumentative writing. Diatribe is bitter and violent criticism or invective Examples of diatribe are often found in letters to the editor, in which people tend to give vent to their strong feelings instead of backing up their opinions with arguments. Consider the following (fictitious) letter: The politicians are at it again. An election coming up, and new spending just “happens” to be needed. Name your favourite issue, and you will find money for it—health care, education, social services. And tax cuts too? I don’t trust a single one of them. It is clear that the author...

...It all started when our protagonist, Doggie, woke up in a bush. It was the tenth time it had happened. Feeling overwhelmingly frustrated, Doggie attacked a butterknife, thinking it would make him feel better (but as usual, it did not). Without warning, he realized that his beloved diary was missing! Immediately he called his best friend, Catman. Doggie had known Catman for (plus or minus) 200,000 years, the majority of which were sassy ones. Catman was unique. He was ingenious though sometimes a little... dimwitted. Doggie called him anyway, for the situation was urgent. Catman picked up to a very glad Doggie. Catman calmly assured him that most beavers cringe before mating, yet otters usually indiscriminately yawn *after* mating. He had no idea what that meant; he was only concerned with distracting Doggie. Why was Catman trying to distract Doggie? Because he had snuck out from Doggie's with the diary only nine days prior. It was a exotic little diary... how could he resist? It didn't take long before Doggie got back to the subject at hand: his diary. Catman sighed. Relunctantly, Catman invited him over, assuring him they'd find the diary. Doggie grabbed his grandfather clock and disembarked immediately. After hanging up the phone, Catman realized that he was in trouble. He had to find a place to hide the diary and he had to do it aimlessly. He figured that if Doggie took the truck, he had take at least eight minutes before Doggie would get there. But if he...
