4′33″

When watching the video of John Cage's 4 "33", I was first confused on what William Marx was doing. I watched the video several times, to gain my focus on what he was doing. Finally, I understood why he was just sitting there and not playing the piano. Truthfully others probably have thought the same thing that I did when I watched the composition. William Marx sat down and opened the top cover of piano and set a timer, he never struck a key on the keyboard through three different movements. I visualized that Marx was playing a piece by Mozart, but I knew that was not what the piece about. I believe that John Cage's 4 "33" is about silence and possibly time. The first value that I think is significant to the composition is silence. When I think of the word silence, nothingness comes to mind. What I mean by nothingness is no noise; you hear not one person or any other kind noise around you.…

The countdown started the day my mom told us we were going to Atlantis in the Bahamas. One of the best surprises I've ever had. It had been years since I went to vacation with my family all together. The countdown felt like months or years but really it was only two weeks. I’ve never been to the Bahamas and neither has my sister Sydney which explains why the countdown seemed so long. The time came to go to the airport and board the plane. Now the countdown is down to 15 minutes waiting for the…

The main summation of the six articles in questions all point back to the significance and need for Hackman and Oldham’s Job Characteristics Model (JCM) as well as the utilization of job re-design based off of these findings. The JCM was originally created as a means to offer different principles that can be implemented at an organization to enrich the workplace for those involved. The JCM is essentially a work questionnaire that uses the information found to create statistical data in order…

The first day I began as a county 4-H Extension Agent was January 23, 2010.

Highlights and accomplishments of Kanawha County’s 4-H program include: • 4,797 youth and adults attended an education program by the Kanawha…

Often while growing up, we are taught to be good people, to have good morals, and to do others what we would want to have done to ourselves. However, being a good citizen is not stressed nearly as much as being a good person, yet both ideas go hand and hand. The quote "it is impossible to be a good person and not a good citizen" as said by the late University of Arkansas professor Diane Blair, although simple, has a deep meaning. To me, the quote means living the morals I was taught about being…

The Key to Scoring a Job The phases of receiving a job is simple. The applicant looks for a job, fills out an application, gets a call from the hiring manager if they are interested, schedules an interview, get hired or the interviewee has to wait around the telephone for a few days to see if they got the job or not. Several individuals fail to prepare on the upcoming events and happen to lose out on the opportunity of a job due to several reasons. One reason is not having a resume when…

about five months ago through our county 4-H program. Codey contacted me as the 4-H Educator of the county to start a 4-H club with his friends in the Ozark High School FFA program. I have never met a more inspiring, hardworking, pursuant teenager. Codey and I first bonded when I took him to the State 4-H Poultry Day three hours from where we live. The event registration began at 8:30 AM. That meant we had to leave town by 5:00 AM to get there on time. It was a long, early and entertaining…

Sadly, the astronaut most well known for spacecraft malfunction during the Mercury program, Virgil Grissom, as well as two other astronauts set for the first Apollo launch were caught in the first major tragedy of NASA’s history. On January 27, 1967, the three astronauts were performing a preflight test of their Apollo capsule when their capsule caught fire. In the hours before the fire, the astronauts encountered problems with a sour smell from the oxygen loop of Grissom’s spacesuit,…
