September 11th 2001, will be a day forever etched in American history. On what seemed to be a perfect Tuesday morning, an American Airline flight holding 767 passengers crashed into the north tower of the World Trade Center, instantly killing hundreds and trapping hundreds more. Nearly 20 minutes later a United Airlines flight holding another, 767 passengers was crashed into the south tower, killing hundreds. It was at this moment that America realized that they were under attack. Many people…

As I walked into the AP Studio Art classroom on the first day of my field study, I was taken aback by the vivid colors and distinct decorations that fought for my attention. Before studying the class, my perception of art had always been that it was sporadic, messy, and wild yet organized beautifully by an artist to make something for everyone to enjoy. This description fit the art classroom exactly. The walls were obviously originally painted white, but over the years have been transformed into…

Some say that becoming a NICU nurse is a “calling”, I say it’s a blessing from god. First of all I have a very sincere desire to want to help and care for babies. I have to be able to watch success, and see some failures. Failures being the babies that do not survive, but I have to remember they are sent from god; therefore, he has the ability to take them away from us. Success is seeing babies that are told they will never service, and in the end be healthy. Some parents may even call NICU…

Before taking this course, I didn’t know much about the Basque culture. All I knew at the time, was that the Basque country, Euskal Herria was located somewhere near France and there were a couple restaurants in downtown Boise. So to no surprise, whenever I heard the word Basque, I always associated the term with food. “Oh, you mean the restaurants downtown?” was normally my response to anyone who brought up the subject. However, after taking this class I’ve learned that the Basque culture, and…

published in 1903. This publishing was used by Du Bois to reinforce Booker T. Washington and to help push him to speak out against the mistreatment of blacks within the United States. Throughout this book report I will summarize a lot of what Du Boise had to talk about within his essays. I will do this by talking about…

Problem The problem that this paper will address is that many school aged children are not getting an adequate amount of exercise throughout the school day. Not getting the proper amount of exercise can lead to the children becoming overweight and experiencing difficulty focusing in school. Not being able to focus in school will lead to a decrease in cognitive function which may lower their grades and learning abilities. Children need at least 60 minutes of at least moderate intensity…

PROBLEM DEFINITION On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast of the United States. Ranked as the 3rd strongest hurricane to land in the United States, it affected many lives; 1,836 deaths and millions of people were left homeless [1].

get over the vault table. I even had two chances to do it to the best of my ability. All I had to do was stick the landing. A lot of preparation happened so that I could be perfect in this moment. I bought a brace, packed my bags, and flew down to Boise, Idaho for my chance to redeem myself. I had just competed on floor all dolled up with complete and utter confidence and finished my routine with no pain at all. I was all giddy with the thought that I had made it past the worst part of my…

Eric Anderson’s theory of inclusive masculinity has been marked as a new viewpoint to theorizing contemporary masculinities today. Anderson has been renowned for exceptional sociological recognition in this field as he critically initiated the ‘next generation’ of masculinity contemporary scholarship (O’Neill,). Anderson’s theoretical development of inclusive masculinity is recognised by many as an empirical replacement for Connell’s hegemonic masculinity. The influence of Anderson and his…

Unfortunately, some companies have mismanaged their greatest asset—their brands. This is what befell the popular Snapple brand almost as soon as Quaker Oats bought the beverage marketer for $1.7 billion in 1994. Snapple had become a hit through powerful grassroots marketing and distribution through small outlets and convenience stores. Analysts said that because Quaker did not understand the brand’s appeal, it made the mistake of changing the ads and the distribution. Snapple lost so much…
