From elementary faculty to graduate faculty and past, Wolfram's merchandise carry the world's finest know-how to education. College education consists of teaching, research, and social companies activities, and it includes each the undergraduate level (typically known as tertiary education ) and the graduate (or postgraduate) level (generally referred to as graduate school ). Some universities are composed of several schools.
Coding is important to assist college students thrive in a future driven by expertise. Empowering academics to unleash the potential of their students. How a lot ought to schools combine the special education college students is the burning query of the hour.
Secondary education has a longer history in Europe, the place grammar faculties or academies date from as early because the 16th century, within the form of public colleges , price-paying faculties , or charitable educational foundations, which themselves date even additional back.
86 For example, in this system, a city's college system may draw faculty district boundaries so that just about all the scholars in a single college are from low-revenue households, and that almost all the scholars within the neighboring schools come from extra affluent families, even though concentrating low-revenue college students in a single school results in worse educational achievement for all the school system.
Harness their expertise, and get the same award-winning studying supplies that are used by teachers in millions of lecture rooms.
BoF Education brings collectively educational thought management and the world's defining evaluation of worldwide trend faculties, with recommendation for applicants, students and graduates — as well as entrepreneurs and aspirants looking for to interrupt into style from other industries. The Arduino Certification Program (ACP) is a structured option to develop your skilled expertise and get official recognition as you progress. Without query, the majority of what a younger youngster learns will happen in school, but there's additionally rather more that youngsters will study, and should learn, exterior the classroom.
Given its widespread use and universal familiarity, the term education system can fall prey to what psychologist call the phantasm of information"—or the tendency for folks to assume they've a better understanding of something than they actually do. For instance, most people would say they perceive what a instructor is and does, but—if pressed—many individuals wouldn't be able to explain exactly what people need to do to turn into certified as academics, how state policies and necessities might dictate or influence what academics teach in a course, what particular educational strategies are commonly used by teachers and which seem to work greatest, how educational analysis informs new instructional approaches, or how sure sorts of skilled development can improve instructing effectiveness in a faculty, amongst many other things.
One would be silly to suppose that our education system meets the requirements of each child that enters at the tender age of five or six and leaves after thirteen years. Typically, sexual education in colleges is considered as a recreational course somewhat than a severe difficulty. If these college students are already so aggressive at school just think about how competitive would they be once they transfer on to larger education and after that, work.
If you happen to noticed, I stated just a little bit earlier that many particular education students may very well be integrated, but I didn't say all or even most needs to be integrated. At this point in my profession I remembered what my buddy had said a decade ago and questioned if I was ahead of the curve on schools not needing special education lecturers, although it was 10 years later.

A ship mast is a very high pole that extended way beyond the deck. Its main job is to hold the sails and all the rigging. In addition, the masts hold the flag and the crow's nest. Pirate ships usually had a foremast – the front mast; a mainmast – the middle mast, which was often the highest one as well; and the mizzenmast – the back mast.
The rigging is the support system that consists of ropes, cables, and chains. It helps hold everything in place – it attaches the sails to the masts, for example. There are two types of rigging that pirate ships used: square rigging and fore-and-aft rigging. Square rigging was certainly better for open-sea sailing, but fire-and-aft worked better when sailing against the wind.
A sail is basically a piece of cloth that is attached to the mast. Using the power of the wind, sails help move the pirate ship. Depending on what type of rigging the ship used, sails would be either on the back of the mast or in front of it. Square rigging used rectangular cloths, while the fore-and-aft rigging used triangular. The main course sail was often the biggest one and also the lowest one on the mast.
The crow's nest was located at the end of the main mast, way up above the sails. Pirates used it as a lookout spot because it had the best view on the ship. A pirate would go to the crow's nest to look for any potential hazards or enemy ships.
The hull is the body of the ship that lays below the deck. The shape and inside structure of the hull usually depends on what the ship's original purpose was. Pirate ships were often stolen, so pirates made modifications as they pleased. Cannons were located on both sides of the hull on the outside. A bilge is what they called the bottom of the hull.
The deck covers the ship's hull. It was certainly the busiest part of the pirate ship. The entirety of the deck consisted of the main deck, the quarterdeck, and the forecastle. Quarterdeck was the lifted part of the deck at the very end of the ship. The main deck was the middle part, which took up the most space. The forecastle was located at the front of the ship. Pirates would sleep below the main deck in berths. Captain's chambers, on the other hand, were usually below the quarterdeck since they were bigger. Pirates would also keep gunpowder barrels below the main deck, near the cannons.
The rudder steers the ship in one direction. It's located at the tail of the ship below the water. The captain controls it by turning the wheel on the quarterdeck.
The anchor, when dropped, keeps the ship in place and stops it from drifting. A metal anchor is attached to a strong rope and placed in water. The anchor attaches itself to the bottom of the sea/ocean or simply stays down due to its weight.
That about sums up the different parts of a pirate ship, so that's all for now you dirty sea dogs! If you're interested in pirate ship toys consider heading over to see our review!

Ongoing truck strikes will damage future investor confidence in SA – economist
By Se-Anne Rall Oct 26, 2021
Durban: The N3 near Montrose in the Free State remains closed to traffic, due to the second mass truck protest in a matter of days.
The truck strikes will have a lasting impact on future investments in South Africa, an economist has warned.
Earlier this morning, IOL reported that there was a massive traffic backlog along the busy route, because of the truck protest.
N3 toll concession operations manager Thania Dhoogra said law enforcement had been deployed and continued to monitor the situation.
She said extensive traffic disruptions and delays were being experienced between Tugela Plaza and Harrismith.
N3 traffic alert: major truck backlog at Montrose
"Road users are advised to delay travel to this area until further notice.
After blocking the N3, it appears as though the ATDF is now blocking access to the alternative routes too.
The N3 off-ramps at Ladysmith area are also now blocked!
The N3 off-ramps at Frere are blocked too!
PLEASE TAKE CARE AND WARN FELLOW TRUCKERS. pic.twitter.com/CFMqwGUA5D
— FOCUS on Transport (@FOCUSmagSA) October 26, 2021
"The Road Traffic Inspectorate and SAPS are attempting to divert northbound traffic travelling towards Gauteng at the Bergville Interchange. A diversion and turnaround is also being implemented at Frere Interchange," Dhoogra said.
It is believed that truckers are protesting over the hiring of foreign nationals as truck drivers.
The Road Freight Association has called for the roads to be reopened to traffic.
The association's Gavin Kell said the continual attack on the logistics supply chain and the wilful disregard by sectors who continued to drive agendas outside the collective bargaining structure, or to further their grievances by attacking the law-abiding citizenry, must be brought to a stop immediately.
"The government has promised to resolve the matter of illegal foreigners in whatever industry for a number of years but has not done what was promised. Freight operators who abide by the collective agreement signed with the representatives or unions of truck drivers are targeted time and again without reason. This must stop now," Kelly said.
Chief economist at the Efficient Group, Dawie Roodt, has called for political intervention to address the truck strikes.
Roodt said the contention would have a devastating impact on the country's economy in the years to come.
"This is hugely disruptive as we head to the festive season. SA has been in trouble for the last 10 years. There have been lots of people who have lost jobs and this is coupled with social tensions and xenophobia," he said.
Roodt said the truck strikes were politically related and needed government intervention.
"Everything is connected. There are about 30 million people who rely on the state for money and with this, there will be 30 million people who will get less money and therefore 30 million people who are angry," he said.
Roodt said the damage would be seen in losses to future investments and a loss of confidence in South Africa.

One of Ottawa's first accessible taxi drivers says high costs and a lack of support from the city are prompting plate owners to give up on the business.
Fourteen accessible taxi plates have recently been returned to the city by drivers who have decided to call it quits, according to Mahmut Mahmutoglu, a number verified Monday by the city.
"Accessible drivers today are at a boiling point. They are really frustrated. They have been burdened so much that they're all willing to drop these accessible plates en masse in front of the city and completely quit, get out of this business," Mahmutoglu told CBC.
He was one of 25 owners chosen through a lottery in 2001 to receive an accessible taxi plate.
Currently, 177 of the taxis on Ottawa's roads — about 15 per cent of the fleet — are accessible, and for the past decade, the city has only issued accessible taxi plates.
When Uber and Lyft were legalized in Ottawa, cab drivers were incensed to discover the ride-hailing upstarts wouldn't be required to provide accessible service.
Instead, the companies agreed to pay a voluntary surcharge that the city is using to improve accessible transportation.
But Mahmutoglu said none of those measures are helping licensed drivers.
He said accessible taxis are more expensive to operate than regular licensed cabs because plate owners have to pay between $15,000 and $18,000 to convert their vans to accommodate passengers in wheelchairs.
In addition, Mahmutoglu said maintenance and higher fuel costs, combined with expensive insurance, are making the business untenable.
"If you want this service to survive, you need to make [the plates] transferrable down the road. We cannot do that. There is no incentive anymore for anybody to take it over," Mahmutoglu said.
He has written a letter of grievances including a list of six recommendations that he plans to deliver to city councillors and the mayor.
Full reimbursement of the conversion cost of wheelchair-accessible vehicles.
Elimination of the city's plate transfer fee for accessible taxis.
A $20 levy, subsidized by the city through its accessibility fund, for each accessible trip.
Recently, city bylaw officers began cracking down on drivers of wheelchair-accessible cabs who aren't always available for customers who need them.
The taxi bylaw stipulates that any accessible cab must be on the road at least 10 hours a day, five days a week, but Mahmutoglu said some drivers are making the economic choice to avoid accessible calls if they know they can get another standard fare nearby.
Bob Brown, who uses accessible taxis regularly, is worried the service will collapse if the city fails to fix the problem.
Brown said he has mixed emotions about the tickets being issued to drivers because he doesn't want to be left without a ride, but also understands the challenges they're facing.
"We have to make it worth their while to be able to do [this]. You want them to feel like they want to take that call," Brown said.
He's filed a complaint with the city auditor alleging the funds collected through the accessibility surcharge are being misappropriated.
In a written statement, Roger Chapman, the city's director of bylaw and regulatory services, said complaints about the alleged violations of bylaw requirements have led to a number of ongoing investigations.
He said allocation of the money collected through the vehicle-for-hire accessibility fund was determined following a series of public consultations.
"The funds are intended to be used to offset costs for a number of programs supporting accessible transportation, including but not limited to enhancing the taxi coupon program," he said, referring to the program that allows Para Transpo users to take accessible taxis at a discount.
On Monday, the city said it's in the process of re-issuing the accessible plates that have been returned to applicants on a waiting list that's currently sitting at 232.


Why the work is being done The delivery of procurement and contracting reforms in support of the government's digital, data and technology delivery, is central to a range of related critical government and wider public sector strategies published throughout 2017. The delivery of transformation will rest upon the ability to provide the right capabilities for government. In order to do this government must have the right services in place and flexibility to be able to meet changes in demand, departmental priorities and expectations of delivery.
Any work that's already been done Information on the three areas of focus from the on-going discovery is being reviewed internally and will be made available to the shortlisted suppliers.
Security clearance It is preferred all team members have SC clearance.
Additional terms and conditions All expenses must be pre-agreed with between the parties and must comply with the Cabinet Office (CO) Travel and Subsistence (T&S) Policy.
Have a proven track record in delivering similar work for large organisations. Please give at least two examples.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, required in order to explain new techniques, concepts and analyses to internal stakeholders, to influence their decision making.
Please provide Work Histories of all proposed team members. All submitted Work Histories will be scored as a set.
Work effectively as part of a multidisciplinary team and across a variety of stakeholders.
Stand up for the needs of the user and champion the agreed business need.
Work well with autonomy and have the integrity to be trusted to progress their own work without close supervision.
1. Are you looking for 1 FTE (which might be a different person across the year depending on required skills)? This is an outcomes-based required so we're neither prescribing the types or range of skills or capabilities that potential suppliers may bring to bear on achieving these outcomes, nor the numbers of people with those skills or capabilities. Potential suppliers should propose a team profile over the course of the 12-month contract period that they feel would best achieve the required outcomes.
2. Can you clarify the deliverables we are expected to produce? Using the discovery findings available, across the three high-level areas we would expect a range of initiatives to have been designed, tested with users, iterated accordingly and incrementally implemented, with a good sense of further developments that could be delivered in a subsequent contract, or this contract if extended. This should also include the transfer of knowledge, skills and capability to internal GDS / CCS teams so that they're able to continue as much of the work as possible.
3. Is there an internal team that we will work with and what are their skills / capabilities? Yes, in GDS there is the Digital Marketplace and the Digital Commercial Programme teams. The nature of the outcomes may require some engagement with other parts of GDS. In CCS there is the Digital Future and the Procurement Operations teams within the Technology Strategic Category, as well as the Digital Services team, and Policy Implementation team. It is unknown yet whether another supplier will also be supporting this engagement, however the potential supplier should be suitably skilled and experienced in working effectively as part of multidisciplinary team and across a variety of stakeholders, in product-led environment, based on agile principles.
4. Why was the tender re-issued? Some elements of the opportunity needed updating.
5. With the potential changes in the regulatory environment due to Brexit, with one option being to maintain regulatory compliance with the European Union, why is this exercise being carrying out now? Is the intent to maintain the current framework, whilst supporting more rapid procurement? This opportunity has been published now because we require action to be taken across the three high-level areas, over the course of the next 12 months, and potentially beyond. We expect that whatever initiatives are implemented, these will be designed for constant evolution, able to adapt to changing circumstances. If any of the initiatives designed and implemented identify opportunities for improvements to procurement and contracting, which are outside of the scope of this brief, these can be shared with appropriate stakeholders for discussion and consideration.
6. What experience does the panel have in evaluating new, innovative practises for procurement, especially from innovative organisations in the private sector? The panel is sufficiently skilled and experienced to evaluate potential suppliers' responses to this opportunity, using the criteria set out within.
8. Please can you confirm if there is an incumbent supplier who has been supporting the ongoing Discovery work? One incumbent supplier has supported the research and analysis work relating to the 'flexible service/resourcing models to support cross government demand' element of this opportunity. A summary of their work will be included in the information on the three areas of focus from the on-going discovery, which is being reviewed internally and will be made available to the shortlisted suppliers.
9. Please can you describe how this work interfaces with the Government Commercial Function/Crown Commercial Services? The Digital Marketplace team and Digital Commercial Programme team in GDS have predominantly been working with the following CCS teams: the Digital Future category team and the Procurement Operations team within Technology Strategic Category, as well Digital Services team, and Policy Implementation team. In work relating to Supplier Standard for Digital and Technology Service Providers (https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/supplier-standard-for-digital-and-technology-service-providers/supplier-standard-for-digital-and-technology-service-providers), GDS has also worked with Government Commercial Function as they developed their Supplier Code of Conduct (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/supplier-code-of-conduct), which was published September 2017. The Crown Commercial Service and the Government Commercial Function, are significant stakeholders in the delivery of the required outcomes of this opportunity.
10. Will Security Clearance be sponsored? It is preferred team members have security clearance however GDS can sponsor the security clearance process. The cost of the process will be charged to the supplier.
11. There are many possible improved end states that procurement of digital services can reach within the CCS and OJEU procurement rules. The UK procurement process is the longest and most expensive in Europe by some margin. Its also the most cumbersome, with suppliers having little confidence in UK Gov's ability to evaluate submissions effectively. Lowering participation. The vast majority of the change is culture & capability. This may take longer than 12 months to complete sustainability. What would be defined as a successful endpoint in the 12 months? By end of the 12-month period, across the three high-level areas we'd expect a range of initiatives to have been designed, tested with users, iterated accordingly and incrementally implemented, with a good sense of further developments that could be delivered in a subsequent contract, or this contract if extended. This should also include knowledge transfer to GDS / CCS teams. We expect initiatives implemented to be designed for constant evolution, able to adapt to changing circumstances. If opportunities arise for improvements to procurement and contracting, which are outside of this brief's scope, they'll be shared with appropriate stakeholders for consideration.
12. How many people are expected to be involved in the programme? Is there a desire to change "all of them" at once, or would the desire to be to incrementally delivery a solid robust smaller team, who can "train the trainers" in real world settings, to allow for a self-sustaining coaching and development within CCS services? We're neither prescribing types / range of skills / capabilities that potential suppliers may use to achieve these outcomes, nor numbers of people with those skills / capabilities. Potential suppliers should propose a team profile over the contract period that they feel would best achieve these outcomes. Across the three high-level areas we'd expect a range of initiatives to have been designed, tested with users, iterated accordingly and incrementally implemented, with good sense of further developments that could be delivered in a subsequent contract, or this contract if extended. This should also include knowledge transfer to GDS / CCS teams.
13. Please can you confirm the implementation timetable to implement changes to the reforms ie. pre/post EU Exit as this will impact what is and isn't potentially possible? By end of the 12-month period, across the three high-level areas we'd expect a range of initiatives to have been designed, tested with users, iterated accordingly and incrementally implemented, with a good sense of further developments that could be delivered in a subsequent contract, or this contract if extended. This should also include knowledge transfer to GDS / CCS teams. We expect initiatives implemented to be designed for constant evolution, able to adapt to changing circumstances. If opportunities arise for improvements to procurement and contracting, which are outside of this brief's scope, they'll be shared with appropriate stakeholders for consideration.
14. To clarify, can we ask what phase in line with the GDS Service Manual this procurement is for? Also what phase this budget is expected to cover. So far discovery research and analysis has been undertaken, therefore we may assume that this opportunity relates to alpha and beta; by the end of the 12-month period, across the three high-level areas we would expect a range of initiatives to have been designed, tested with users, iterated accordingly and incrementally implemented, with a good sense of further developments that could be delivered in a subsequent contract, or this contract if extended. This should also include knowledge transfer to GDS / CCS teams. The stated budget is expected to cover the costs of achieving the required outcomes for this opportunity.
15. What roles do you envisage the team being made up of This is an outcomes-based requirement so we're neither prescribing the types or range of skills or capabilities that potential suppliers may bring to bear on achieving these outcomes, nor the numbers of people with those skills or capabilities. Potential suppliers should propose a team profile over the course of the 12-month contract period that they feel would best achieve the required outcomes.
16. Where can we find more information on the contracting reforms? Information on the three areas of focus from the on-going discovery, is being reviewed internally and will be made available to the shortlisted suppliers.
17. Who (please list if poss) are the stakeholders on the project? The Digital Marketplace team and the Digital Commercial Programme team (GDS) have predominantly been working with the following CCS teams: Digital Future category team and Procurement Operations team within Technology Strategic Category, as well as Digital Services team, and Policy Implementation team. In work relating to the Supplier Standard for Digital and Technology Service Providers (https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/supplier-standard-for-digital-and-technology-service-providers/supplier-standard-for-digital-and-technology-service-providers), GDS has also worked with Government Commercial Function as they developed their Supplier Code of Conduct (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/supplier-code-of-conduct), which was published in September 2017. The Crown Commercial Service and Government Commercial Function, are significant stakeholders in the delivery of the required outcomes of this opportunity.
18. Is this work for Central Government or to include Wider Public Sector? The work is likely to span central government but due to the nature of the scope, local government and wider public sector should also be considered.
20. Can the Authority clarify the percentage scores for each of the Essential and Nice to Have criteria. We have not individually weighted the criteria. The total score at the end of the assessment stage will be weighted by the percentages published.
21. In relation to question 4: Is this question asking for examples where we have demonstrated three years' experience within a business change environment at one client or three years' experience within a business change environment overall? Three year's experience overall.
22. Please can you advise whether securing this opportunity and supporting GDS with their procurement strategy may lead to the supplier being precluded from future digital procurement delivery under GDS and other government departments? No; securing this opportunity will not preclude the successful supplier from future digital procurement delivery under GDS and other government departments, providing any potential conflicts of interest are disclosed and managed appropriately by contracting authorities.


I recently finished reading the the Interim Report of the Blue Ribbon Task Force on Sustainable Digital Preservation and Access entitled "Sustaining the Digital Investment: Issues and Challenges of Economically Sustainable Digital Preservation." [PDF].
The report is very readable and engaging and really focuses on the key topic of sustainability. The authors make the point that while we all agree that digitized materials are important for scholarship, we don't yet have a coherent plan for how to preserve these digital resources. I like the fact that the report doesn't shy away from the economic realities of this issue -- to preserve digital resources, someone has to pay for them. But who? And how? The report is a good take on helping to answer these questions. My thanks go to Fran Berman and the rest of the Blue Ribbon Task Force who wrote this report and to NSF, Mellon, and the other organizations who funded it.

UCLA will play at Oklahoma despite state travel ban for LGBTQ rights
State A.G. should either ban sports travel to Oklahoma or stop making these hollow threats.

Share All sharing options for: UCLA will play at Oklahoma despite state travel ban for LGBTQ rights
Legislators in Sacramento, of course, won't top the UCLA football team from traveling anywhere it wants.

California Attorney General Xavier Becerra has again issued a toothless edict forbidding state travel to a state he claims is dangerous for LGBTQ people. This time it's Oklahoma, the state that hosts the Women's College World Series and where the UCLA softball team — with an openly gay coach and out gay administrators — lost Sunday in what was effectively the sports' Final Four.
Shocker: Becerra is in the middle of a re-election campaign.
No doubt, Oklahoma's state policies are not remotely LGBTQ-inclusive. While the cities of Norman, Oklahoma City and Tulsa have non-discrimination ordinances that protect sexual orientation and/or gender identity, the state does not. The timing of the new California policy is retaliation for a horrific adoption bill that Oklahoma has put into law, as Oklahoma has had problematic laws for years.
There's good reason for California to put pressure on a state like Oklahoma to rethink its policies. Yet the weak resolution from Sacramento won't remotely do any of that.
While seemingly noble, the California policy might be worth something if it had any teeth to it. Instead, state legislators carve out exemptions and are playing a politics-based financial shell game to make high-profile state-funded travel still possible to these banned states — which now include Texas, North Carolina, Tennessee and Oklahoma.
Of course the highest-profile travel most state governments do on a regular basis is that by state colleges' and universities' sports teams to play in athletic competitions. This is where lawmakers could actually make a real statement, by making sure UCLA, Cal and other state schools don't travel to, say, the Univ. of Oklahoma to participate in competitions.
Because travel ban is actually a bunch of political nonsense, lawmakers allow these teams to travel to the banned states anyway, twisting themselves in knots to explain the ridiculous exemptions that free athletics departments to do whatever they please.
Case in point. In 2017 the state had an active ban on travel to the state of Tennessee. When the UCLA men's basketball team was appointed to a Sweet Sixteen location in Tennessee, they were allowed to participate despite state funds helping cover the cost of their participation in the "banned" state.
This time around is no different. The UCLA football team will travel to the Univ. of Oklahoma to play a game on Sept. 8. No one in Sacramento is going to stop anyone from UCLA going to Oklahoma or any other state they choose. And any time a Cal State or Univ. of California team qualifies for the World Series — like the UCLA softball team this year — it will be full-steam ahead.
Even if the state did stop the teams from going, the host schools would simply fill the spot with another team, costing the offending state zero.
The travel ban has had absolutely no effect, as the first eight states added to the ban haven't repealed any of the laws Becerra finds objectionable.
It's unfortunate that politicians in California, like Becerra, have turned LGBTQ rights and sports into political footballs, particularly in an election year. They should either make the policy black-and-white and build a substantial narrative with truly banned travel to these states, or stop with the nonsense, repeal these laws, and work in substantial ways to end bigotry across California, where it continues to persist.

Sphere Summit
Europe's Crisis and the Welfare State: Lessons for the United States
October 10, 2012 9:00 AM to 5:15 PM EDT
Hayek Auditorium
Europe has long been the model of the modern welfare state, with many countries providing "cradle-to-grave" protection against the vicissitudes of life by publicly funding housing, sustenance, health care, pensions, unemployment insurance, sick leave, child care, and a host of other benefits. But the economic crisis that started in Greece and now pours through Europe has painfully revealed the true nature of the welfare state—it is unaffordable, stifles economic growth, and has countries drowning in debt.
As Europe now deals with the consequences of its severe fiscal crisis, the United States has an opportunity to gain a wide range of invaluable perspectives and lessons.
At this Conference, leading international experts will look at the history and evolution of Europe's welfare states; examine the effectiveness of austerity programs; explore steps taken that are working and failing; and, with the sobering perspectives it offers on the financial realties now facing Europe, detail the range of lessons the United States must learn. The Conference will also underscore how the financial burden of the expanding U.S. welfare state—Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, and other entitlements—must be resolved if America is to avoid arriving at the same painful destination as Europe.

An argumentative essay of daisy miller
This can be a highly effective strategy if you want to make a counterintuitive argument—that, despite seeming to be totally different, the two objects being compared are actually similar in a very important way or vice versa.
Why is daisy miller called a study
However, in order to reach their pinnacle of success, people tend to make sacrifices that can be detrimental to their well-being. Those bad choices could lead to consequences that are going to bother a person for a long time. Winterbourne is immediately attracted to her stating, "she was strikingly, admirably pretty" James Omniscient narrators see and know all: they can witness any event in any time or place and are privy to the inner thoughts and feelings of all characters. Categorize and classify your examples to give them some order. He befriends this young girl very quickly. These symptoms mark Mrs. Daisy is depicted as asking Winterbourne questions in such a way that should also answer those questions about her. The former on the other hand present a vexing set of contradictions that make it easy for them to attract condemnation and appreciation at the same time! Theory of Literature. Trace Choose an image—for example, birds, knives, or eyes—and trace that image throughout Macbeth. These people differentiate themselves from ordinary American tourists by accepting European values and following European customs Write the body paragraphs 7. Thus by the end of the tale, we feel we have not met Daisy at all.
We have only caught glimpses of this transient 'flower' almost in spite of the suffocating prevarications of Winterbourne's 'frozen' eye Moreover, the reader can only perceive Daisy through Winterbourne's eyes, which means that her image is already filtered through Winterbourne's conventions when she is introduced to the reader.
This irony is amplified by the fact that Daisy dies afterward.
Would a nice girl — even allowing for her being a little American flirt — make a rendezvous with a presumably low-lived foreigner? Rather than have her reputation marred by her acquaintance with Daisy Miller, Mrs.
Daisy miller character analysis essay
Winterbourne takes a strong liking to Daisy even though his aunt, Mrs Since the publication of James's novel in , Daisy has worn several labels, among them "flirt," "innocent," and "American Girl. Giovanelli-the beautiful Giovanelli" Henry, pg After describing various literature relationships, the authors analyze literature based on two approaches; intrinsic and extrinsic approaches. The ambiance in Europe is cool and composure. Both novels touch upon similar themes regarding the instability and ignorance of the two main characters, Willy Loman and Jay Gatsby The plans that Daisy had to drive Winterbourne to the wall and make him confess his love for her saw her even use another man, Giovanelli as bait. Themes from a Death of a Salesman are plentiful and confusing at times. This was a custom common in Europe during this time; while young unmarried women were expected to stay the perfect image of chastity and innocence, it was acceptable for married women unsatisfied with their spouses to take on a young bachelor as a lover. Write the body paragraphs 7. Studies suggest that one must have social interactions in order to exist as a normal human being. This story tells of several American characters in a European setting, some expatriates and some vacationers, all with varying degrees of familiarity with and acceptance of European sociocultural norms. Winterbourne is the protagonist and 'filters' through his impressions of the heroine Daisy Miller so that we never see Daisy except through the qualifying prose of Winterbourne himself. This is why it has been frequently argued that most literary works are an image of what is happening in the society.
One essay prompt might ask you to compare and contrast two characters, while another asks you to trace an image through a given work of literature. Diction and syntax often contribute to the tone of a work.

Remember: This is just a sample from a fellow student. In attempting to become successful, people often create goals for themselves that are nearly impossible to accomplish, and as a result, are rarely satisfied with the outcome of their efforts. A Character Analysis of Daisy Miller - In Daisy Miller, Henry James slowly reveals the nature of Daisy"s character through her interactions with other characters, especially Winterbourne, the main character. But tempted not by a person, but by life, she wants to experience many things and loves to be the center of attraction. Although all she is making is speaking to them, still many of the Europeans view her as moving in a disgraceful manner. James, In nineteenth-century European society, upper-class unmarried women must be chaperoned in order to protect their reputation. The only way he understands her is through his own perceptions of the indications of her behavior. Henry James was born in New York in , but lived most his life in Europe. Finally, always keep the overall effect in mind. Ask yourself why the author chose to write about that character or scene the way he or she did and you might tap into some important insights about the work as a whole. Whether a character uses dry, clinical language or flowery prose with lots of exclamation points can tell you a lot about his or her attitude and personality. Both novels touch upon similar themes regarding the instability and ignorance of the two main characters, Willy Loman and Jay Gatsby There for I would dare to say she is tempted by life, and has an appetite for a joyful life. In this 'study', the prevailing culture looks at sexuality as a form of disease, which if left uncontrolled to a certain point, becomes fatal the way it claimed Daisy. Your introduction should situate the reader and let him or her know what to expect.
While looking at Winterbourne she even had the courage to disclose to him that she had a planned walk with another man, Giovanelli! Courage, romanticism, charming beauty, and a willingness to defy society are four very prominent characteristics amongst heroes and contribute to today's notion of heroism.
God, Unicorns, Love, and Beauty would be meaningless terms because they cannot be proven by the scientific method.
Since every person is usually a member of a certain society, there is often a close relationship between what an author thinks and what he conveys in his literary work. In Death of a Salesman, relationships between child and parent can be analyzed by the changes, differences and the effects it had on the people
Summary about daisy miller
This irony is amplified by the fact that Daisy dies afterward. Keep track of passages, symbols, images, or scenes that deal with your topic. In the Macbeth example above, think about the different contexts in which knives appear in the play and to what effect. A good topic sentence not only alerts readers to what issue will be discussed in the following paragraph but also gives them a sense of what argument will be made about that issue. They are portrayed as people who have metamorphosed and have changed their ways by seeking to flirt with men instead of settling down in healthy and platonic relationships. She is constantly walking in public with men and no chaperone. Why did James create such a beguiling and bewildering character?

I've been in IT and business for over 30 years. I worked my way up, literally from the mail room and I've done every job from mail clerk to CEO.
I started and will probably end my career as a musician. Despite a business career that has had its share of accomplishments, I'm most proud of my family and a small canon of music that I have written and performed . I still have the gold album and Juno nomination I shared with friend and co-writer Pat Silver and friends proudly hung on my wall. You can still find some of my music on CBC's Radio 3 thanks to my loving wife who encouraged me to get back to song writing.
Lastly, I'm a blogger…and this is my personal blog.
I write this blog because believe that we have the potential to achieve the extraordinary. This is our potential as humans. Bit by bit, for many of us, what is eroded is not the potential — we don't lose that. What we lose is our ability to believe in our potential. Instead of looking to the extraordinary, we learn how to "play the game". Without passing judgment I just have to say, that's not for me. I don't want to play the game. I want to change the game. And I want to celebrate the people and concepts that are out there changing the game every day.
This blog is about that. It's about people, process, technology and strategy. The things that have to be in place to get great results.
But it's more than that. It's about ideas. And sometimes — it's about dreams. But that's okay, too.
It ranges from professional musings to intensely personal matters. It's where I "live out loud". It will be as open as I have the courage to be. It will be as insightful as I have the wisdom to be.
Every extraordinary accomplishment starts with a dream. The difference is that some people are content to dream them. Some have to live them. Some are driven to pursue the extraordinary. No, you don't always win. If you did, what would be the challenge? Sometimes you win. Sometimes you lose. Sometimes you change the game.

I can't believe what I just read (in a good way)!
Your last post (even so I'm not giving up on you) is brilliant. I'll be following you and can't wait to read more.

The Harvard Square Book
By Herbert F. Vetter
This book contains five parts, all relating to Harvard Square in Cambridge, Massachusetts. From "The First Independent Thanksgiving" shows Harvard Square as the locus of the Thanksgiving Proclamation of 1774. to the original "History of Cambridge," first published in 1801, was written by the Rev. Abiel Holmes. Long used by Cambridge school children, that text is here illustrated for the first time. "Harvard Honors Nelson Mandela" portrays the outdoor celebration of 25,000 people when, for only the third time in its history, Harvard presented an honorary degree outside of its regular academic convocations. University photographers abundantly recorded the occasion. Finally, "Harvard Gallery of Photographs by Rick Stafford" consists of images of people in the Harvard Square environs illustrating diverse fields of learning and life.

In Australian media news this week, PR agency Webar Shandwick reveals new insights into the digital lives of journalists, Bauer Media announces the launch of a new fortnightly spin-off for TV Week and Belle editor-in-chief Neale Whitaker moves to Vogue Living.
PR agency Weber Shandwick has released insights into the changing habits of journalists in a report titled 'The Digital Life of Journalists in Asia Pacific'.
Digital news consumption: 68% of journalists say they most commonly access their news online.
Internet as a research tool: 36% go to online sources first to prepare stories.
Branded content welcomed: 77% of news organisations publish branded content provided by a company at least some of the time.
Print losing importance: Only 24% of journalists work exclusively on print. One third of respondents "never" read print newspapers.
Sourcing and verifying: Insiders/contacts are the most popular verification tool (72%), followed by press releases (65%) and PR agencies (56%).
Personal syndication: 79% said they always or sometimes use personal blogs or social media to share their stories.
Trusted sources: Corporate spokespersons were the most trusted (63%), followed by corporate websites/blogs (52%) and in-house PR/marketing (50%). Corporate social media accounts were the most distrusted sources (53%).
Weber Shandwick surveyed 339 journalists across 10 Asia Pacific markets (Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand). The survey was conducted online from November 2013 to March 2014.
Bauer Media has announced it will launch a new fortnightly magazine dedicated to television and its stars to complement its popular weekly TV Week.
The TV Week team says it will produce the new magazine, TV Week Soap Extra, in response to extensive consumer research that found "a gap in the market for a contemporary, quality, professional and comprehensive magazine" covering television soaps and dramas.
With a history of more than 55 years, the TV Week brand includes print and digital magazines, mobile and social engagement, websites and events such as the TV Week Logie Awards.
The new TV Week Soap Extra would feature 68 pages packed with the hottest plot teasers and first-look information of some of the popular local and international shows on Australian television screens.
The new magazine will also be incorporated into the TV Week website and its new mobile application.
The first issue of TV Week Soap Extra will go on sale for $3.95 on Thursday, July 31.
Belle magazine editor-in-chief Neale Whitaker will leave his post to join News Corp Australia as editor-in-chief of Vogue Living and design columnist for the company's Sunday newspapers.
NewsLifeMedia chief executive officer Nicole Sheffield announced that Whitaker would join News in December.
Whitaker's more than 20 years in interior design and food publishing have included editing Marieclaire Lifestyle, Vogue Entertaining + Travel and Delicious. He is also a judge on television series The Block.
Bauer Media specialist division publisher Brendon Hill said the company would announce a replacement at Belle in the near future.
"For the past eight years, Whitaker's unwavering commitment towards his team and the Belle brand has seen the magazine increase to eight issues per year and record unprecedented circulation; growing by a resounding 55% over the past five years," he said.


One of those plays that jumps out to me as UL-Lafayette has lost 3 straight games and their isnt much interest in betting them. I always look to buy when everyone else is selling as we get a nice line with the home team in this one. Georgia State is mediocre despite their record. Raging Cajuns look for revenge from a loss last month at Georgia State 89-76.
Ragin' Cajuns are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games following a double-digit loss at home.
Ragin' Cajuns are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games following a straight up loss.

R.I.P. Leading Elephant Conservationist, Wayne Lotter, Tragically Killed In Tanzania
By Lauren Lewis
Photographs by Krissie Clark/PAMS Foundation
The world suffered a tremendous loss last night when leading South African elephant conversationalist, Wayne Lotter, was shot and killed by an unknown gunman in Tanzania.
A distinguished member of the international conservation community, Lotter had served on numerous boards of prominent groups and was the Vice President of the International Ranger Federation; all this in addition to his work as a director for PAMS Foundation, a non-profit organization he co-founded with Krissie Clark in 2009, to provide conservation and anti-poaching support to communities and governments in Africa.
According to an article in the Guardian, Lotter, who had previously received death threats relating to his work, was en route to his hotel from the airport when two men, one armed with a gun, stopped his car, opened the door, and shot him.
The PAMS Foundation shared the tragic news on its Facebook page today noting that Tanzanian police are currently investigating the crime that stole the 51-year-old wildlife conservationist's life.
The heartfelt post reads as follows:
We are heartbroken to share the news that PAMS Foundation co-founder, Wayne Lotter was shot and killed last night in the Masa-ki District of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
Wayne devoted his life to Africa's wildlife, from working as a ranger in his native South Africa as a young man to leading the charge against poaching in Tanzania. Wayne cared deeply about the people and animals that populate this world. In 2009, he teamed up with Krissie Clark and Ally Namangaya to form the PAMS Foundation. Together they worked tirelessly with communities in Tanzania to protect the country's wildlife.
Wayne believed communities were the best protectors of the continent's animals. Through his work with PAMS, he helped train thousands of village game scouts in every corner of the country. His ground-breaking work in developing an intelligence-based approach to anti-poaching helped successfully reverse the rampant rates of poaching facing Tanzania.
Wayne's charm, brilliance and eccentric sense of humor gave him the unique ability to make those around him constantly laugh and smile. He died bravely fighting for the cause he was most passionate about.
Wayne leaves behind his wife Inge, daughters Cara Jayne and Tamsin, and parents Vera and Charles Lotter. We all grieve with his family, colleagues, and friends. His legacy will continue in our work.
Lotter and the PAMS Foundation funded and supported Tanzania's elite anti-poaching National and Transnational Serious Crimes Investigation Unit (NTSCIU) which was responsible for the arrest of the Yang Feng Glan, dubbed by some as the "Queen of Ivory" as well as numerous other high-profile elephant poachers.
Since 2012, the team has reportedly arrested more than 2,000 poachers and ivory traffickers and has a conviction rate of 80 percent.
The world was a better place because of Wayne Lotter and he will undoubtedly be severely missed by the community and animals he dedicated his life to protecting.
As per its website, the PAMS Foundation (Protected Area Management Solutions) Produces Solutions locally; Acts synergistically with partners; Models effective strategies for combating poaching and illegal wildlife trade; and Shapes future approaches for wildlife conservation.
WAN encourages people to visit the website for further information to find out ways they can help. Donations to support the PAMS Foundation can also be made Here!

Illidiance - "Synthetic Breed" (CD/EP)
"Synthetic Breed" track listing:
1. Cyber Gore Generation (3:16)

4. Razor to the Skin (4:22)

"'Synthetic Breed' is dropped directly in the middle of extreme head-banging metal and catchy electronic music."
Metal keeps getting more and more diverse as bands find new ways to combine styles and use symphonic elements to temper their brutality. While the sheer number of different ways to create metal music creates a silly number of sub-genres, it also gives audiences a huge range of sounds to sample. Russia's Illidiance is well on their way to making their brand of metal a well known force to be reckoned with. Anyone who digs a cybernetic theme and loads of synthetic sounds will find "Synthetic Breed" to be an immensely enjoyable EP.
Vocalist Syrex starts the screams on an energetic note, using the grand tradition of bands such as At The Gates, by grunting out a single, powerful "Go!" Harsh vocals only dominate for less than a minute into the song before Illidiance switches into unexpected clean singing. The various clean parts consist of straight up singing alongside occasional bouts of yelling that bring to mind some of the more popular hard rock and alternative metal acts. The overall break down of harsh to clean vocals is almost split directly down the middle, with any given song switching frequently back and forth between both styles. In a nod to their blacker beginnings the extreme vocals are located somewhere between a scream and a growl, giving off brief flashes of black metal atmosphere.
Illidiance has quite a few similarities with bands like The Kovenant and other acts that blend industrial and metal. The band doesn't label themselves as industrial however, preferring to use the moniker of "cyber metal." The distinction is more than just another questionable sub-genre term to throw around. Illidiance's use of synthesized sound effects is distinctly more futuristic and electronic, rather than mechanical and harsh. While groups like The Kovenant are abrasive and aggressive, Illidiance instead produces a more polished and clean sound. The exceedingly high level of polish is actually quite impressive for a self-released EP from an act that hasn't managed to penetrate the major metal market and become a house hold name yet.
The various sound effects aren't the star of the show, but they do make up a large portion of the music's appeal. Although there is a very clear theme of a cybernetic mankind, there are a few interesting variations that twist the theme in unexpected ways. The opening of "Infected" is an excellent example, as it uses the keyboard sounds to create an eerie atmosphere that is an odd combination of ghostly horror and far-future science fiction.
"Synthetic Breed" is dropped directly in the middle of extreme head-banging metal and catchy electronic music. The EP uses a series of halting short bursts with blasts of rapid drumming to keep the songs moving, and then shifts in and out of catchy hooks to make the music stick around in the listener's head. The tracks seem like they should be the backing soundtrack for a futuristic dance floor full of robotic metal heads moshing.
Illidiance clearly has their own sound and seems like they are going in exactly the direction they want to. The formula works well for the most part, although in some instances it seems like they could have a lot more power if they scaled back the clean parts and went for an overall more aggressive approach. The "Synthetic Breed" EP is a short taste of the band's musical proclivities, but the restricted run-time should give a good idea of who will want to jump on their cyber metal train and discover more.
Highs: Cool mix of electronic synth effects with blackened metal.
Lows: Some of the clean singing may not appeal to fans of more extreme metal.
Bottom line: An interesting take on industrial dubbed "cyber metal" that is right in between full-force metal and catchy electronica.
