The book and movie of The Devil’s Arithmetic have similarities and differences, and each of them benefit the execution of their respective genres. The movie was released in March 28, 1999. Dustin Hoffman is one of the executive producers, and he introduces the movie. The summary of the movie is as follows; Hannah is a 17, or so, year old girl who doesn’t care about or accept her Jewish heritage. She reluctantly goes to Seder at her Aunt Eva’s house. A custom at the Seder is drinking the wine…

Thanks again to everyone who participated in last week’s Plains Area Leadership Conference! I enjoyed seeing everyone and spending some time visiting and listening to your concerns, as well as hearing your ideas for the future. ARS has always had a strong group of individuals leading our local organizations. It’s obvious after reflecting on the two days of the conference that we currently have extremely talented and dedicated individuals serving in key roles throughout the Plains Area. I was…

Saint Clare spent her whole life being dedicated to scripture and poverty, and that dedication is why she was so admired. She was a strong and active leader, who also was a advocate for responsible stewardship, and that is why so many people believe in her teachings. Dedication, stewardship and leadership are two things that I admire about Saint Clare. I firmly believe in these principles and try to implement them into my daily life. The National Cycling Centre Hamilton, a not-for-profit…

Most kids dream to inherit tangibles. The truth is, I too would like to inherit a nest egg. Instead my parents bestowed upon me the intangibles to last a lifetime; hard work, compassion, selflessness and civility. I live in the tropics, on the island of St. Thomas. My parents emigrated from the island of Dominica in search of better economic possibilities. As years past, I've traveled the numerous other partnering islands and discovered they have more in common than they differ. The…

The song ‘Ahead by a Century’ by the band The Tragically Hip is said to be about reflecting on the past; going over memories. On the contrary though, the meaning and the theme of a song are completely different, leaving one question; what is the theme? Firstly, I strongly believe the song is about someone unconsciously stuck on their past mistakes, leading them to regret and a deep depression. To support the theory let’s start with the beginning of the song, where the individual seems to be…

As the administrator of the long-term planning model it also requires that I work throughout the entire organization to gather inputs from Segment leaders to budget managers, including the IT department to understand the future spend how much to capitalize, how it should depreciate and finally how the depreciation expense should be allocated to the lines of…

The U.S. Economic Outlook Forecast In order to forecast the economic outlook of the United States a few factors must be examined.

God gives us hardships to make us into a better, stronger person for in the future. That i may not like what is happening at the moment there are many things i can do to change. This led me to working more on my schoolwork, as well as making more time for my family. Some things work better for some people, and other ways…

different experiences and what they have learned. Nietzsche and Arendt have put forward their explanations on the roles of memory and remembering. Memory refers to the ability to store information in the human brain and recall that information in the future. Memory has the ability to influence the manner in which people behave in the present. By remembering what one has learned, the individual does not need to learn the…

“What is straight? A line can be straight, or a street, but no human heart, oh no, its curved like a road through the mountains” (Williams). The previous quote was recited by a man named Tennessee Williams, who taught that a lot can be learned about a person from a single quote such as their values or maybe in the values of the society in which they live. Tennessee Williams was man who was taken from his urban home and landed on the streets of St. Louis where he became a playwright…
