2. Encore Studio Research Paper
It takes both an athlete and an artist to be able to dance. Dance requires you to have muscular strength,
flexibility, physical and emotional endurance. People usually question why dancers love what they do
when there is a whopping 80% of professional dancers that get injured every year. The answer is
simple though, what keeps them going though is the constant love and encouragement from friends
and family. Every since 1991, Encore Studio has upheld this common thought of love and
encouragement for its dancers. The studio is covered with their spirited colors of pink and black,
dispersed amongst paintings of ballerinas, to the wallpaper having glimpses of pink, grey, black, and

Everyday, I go into the studio and hear a generous hello from a staff member. If the vibrant dance
bags, and leather jet black couches do not make you feel at home, then the dancers will. Mallory
Flores is an intern and dancer of 15 years at Encore Studio, and thinks Encore s sense of community is
what makes everyone feel at home whenever they step onto the dance floor. Not only does the sense of
community keep the dancers going, but it keeps the business running, as Karen Flores stated she loves
how the people she sees come in and out of the studio have a constant positive energy radiating off of
them . Yet, being at the studio for up to fourteen hours a week for some dancers does not keep them
from coming in and enjoying the curriculum taught in class. Not only does it drive the dancers to
come to class, but it keeps the teachers motivated to continue to put out their best work too. Angelina
Gallo thinks that The dancers at Encore are so passionate, they are kind, they are genuinely good

Pharmacists make, on average, $111,570 per year. To become a pharmacist in the United States, one
must receive a Doctor of Pharmacy degree, referred to as a Pharm.D, and being certified by passing
board exams (bls.gov). To be accepted into a Pharm.D program, one must complete at least two tears
of undergraduate study (usnews.com), while some attain a Bachelors degree in a science to better their
abilities. These courses include biology, chemistry, and calculus, among others. I think I would make a
good pharmacist because I have always had an interest in medicine. I also love helping people and
doing things for others. As a pharmacist, I would be able to study and work with medicine while

to be as loud and energetic as possible to invoke excitement in the audience, the orchestra put out a

instruments were played to the best of my memory. I think I enjoyed this piece the most because I was
able to focus on the cellist and really see just how much passion she had through the way she played
each line. Following a short intermission, the whole orchestra was present for Shostakovich s Fifth
Symphony. This symphony was very long compared to the music I am accustomed to. The orchestra
took breaks every once in awhile for a few short seconds which I did not expect. The symphony had a

9. The Issue of the Commonwealth s Spending Pattern
Intro The issue of the Commonwealths spending power?????. The recent High Court decision of
Williams s v Commonwealth [2012] , saw the introduction of significant changes to this area, and the
forthcoming Williams v Commonwealth No 2 , currently before the High Court, will likely see issue
further developed. The debate surrounding this area has to do with the fact that in addition to the
legislative heads of power in sections 51 and 52 of the constitution, there are a number of other
constitutional provisions which the federal government has attempted to use as a source of
Commonwealth spending power. The two most frequently cited examples being the section 81
Appropriations power and the section 61 Executive power. In considering both of these sections the
High Court has come to the conclusion that the scope of the spending powers should be limited. This
essay will argue the position that the High Court is justified in this approach and, with reference to the
various principles of interpretation set out by the High Court and the notions of Federalism and
Responsible Government, will show that limiting the Commonwealths spending powers, outside of
the legislative heads of power and the grants power in section 96 is both constitutionally valid and
necessary for the democratic process in Australia. The question is asked should the commonwealth be

DACA coming soon. The name Dreamers have been given to the people protected by the program
DACA, which have been protecting eligible immigrant youth who came to United States when they
were kids, from being deported back. Recently Donald Trump has made the decision to go the
Supreme Court to demand the end of the program. This has sparked the question on whether Dreamers
should have a pathway to U.S. citizenship. There are couple sides to take on this situation but the main
two points are there should not be a pathway as it is unconstitutional and only leads to more problems
and Dreamers should be able to go through a long process to achieve citizenship as it is the most
reasonable thing to do . However, this report is more analyzing each side s perspective, than rather

11. Questioning the Truth of the News Essays
INTRO/PROBLEMS
The window to the world can be covered by a newspaper, this quote by Polish writer Stanislaw Lec
sums up the problem with the news media. It is the job of the news media to provide the public with
news events happening around the world. Without these news reports, people would be oblivious to
what is going on around them. Our lives rest in the media s hands, and they are fully aware of this.
The news is a very competitive business, and because of this what gets reported is not necessarily
what the story is. Since there are different journalists reporting on the same events, each newspaper
and newscast has its own way and style of reporting. They also have different gate keeping processes
that make them unique. They may ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The media focus on a few major news events and talk about them nonstop, until something new comes
along and the old stories are forgotten about. A good example of this has to do with the events after the
September 11th attacks. President Bush was ready instantly after the attacks to send troops to
Afghanistan to fight the war on terrorism. After a few weeks of news coverage about the war on
terrorism, our troops were all of a sudden being sent to Iraq because apparently they had weapons of
mass destruction there. After the news about Iraq, Afghanistan was nothing but a memory.
According to a news article in USA Today, written by Dave Moniz (2002), there are still soldiers in
Afghanistan, yet we never hear anything about them. This is the main job of the news media. They
give us the topics to form our opinions about. If it is not in the news, then it is not supposed to be
important to the people. Well if this is the case, then what about the people that have members of their
families over in Afghanistan? Are they not important?
Another major problem with the news media is that different news groups report on the stories that are
going to give them the best ratings, therefore all the news stations report on the same stories in order
to try and out do the other. One major example of when news stories get altered or even possibly
reported wrong is during a crisis. When a crisis is reported on, every news organization tries to get the

12. Relationship Between a Country s Economic Growth and Its...
Economic growth is the increase in the capacity of a country s economy to produce goods and
services. As a means of development and urbanisation, and a reflection of wealth and the living
standard in a nation, it remains a key focus of most governments. In this course of action, water bodies
may be polluted and contaminated due to waste (e.g. sewage and chemical waste) generated from
different sectors of the economy. However, water pollution is not inevitable despite a country s focus
on economic growth, and in fact can be mitigated and controlled. A prominent example would be that
of Singapore. Singapore is a highly developed market economy, with the 3rd highest GDP/capita in
the world of $51,709.45 USD (2012). It has been ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Industrial wastewater is to be treated to specified standards regulated by the the Environmental
Protection and Management (Trade Effluent) Regulations before being discharged into a sewer or
watercourse. Furthermore, to ensure that these standards are met, industries which generate large
quantities of acidic effluent, such as the aforementioned photochemical industries, are required to
install devices to monitor the acidity of discharge into public sewers. The PUB has also installed a
system to monitor the amount of chemicals in the sewers. Laws have been enacted such that offenders
who do not meet such requirements and cause water pollution via improper disposal of untreated
wastewater will be fined and jailed for up to 3 months, acting as an effective deterrent. Therefore, it is
evident that water pollution is not an inevitable result of economic growth (caused by the chemical
industry), as demonstrated in the example of Singapore, and through proper management and
treatment of waste products, the fate of water pollution can in fact be controlled. With economic
growth comes an increased quality of life including one s living environment etc. This brings about
greater access to products and facilities which will culminate in an increased consumption of goods
and ultimately, a larger percentage of domestic waste. 6.5

13. Persuasive Essay On A Flat Tax System
Wouldn t it be a perfect world if everyone paid their fair share of taxes? Shouldn t everyone have skin
in the game? For example, if the tax rate was 10%, then the person earning $10,000 per year would
pay $1,000 in taxes, and the person earning $100,000 per year would pay $10,000 in taxes. Does this
sound too good to be true? Many complain that our current tax system is broken and there has to be a
better tax system. During this last presidential campaign, the idea of a flat tax system was once again
discussed as an option by one of the candidates. Over the years, many bills have been introduced to
congress to change our tax system. Right now, Congress is debating on a new tax system. Our
President is pushing for change as he realizes the current system is not going to get the deficit down.
We may not see significant change this term, but it will be interesting to see how it all turns out. This
paper will discuss what is wrong with our current system, the possible solution of adopting a flat tax
system, the counter evidence of why a flat tax system is probably not the solution to our tax problem
and why this evidence is right. Our current system is very complex, not efficient, biased, and basically
not effective. Did you know the current tax code has over 9 million words? (books.google.com) (241

Achilles by comparing him to the war of god and how good he is in the battlefield. He goes further on
by glorifying the war and the protagonist and enhancing it by saying The bronze around him glittered
like a blazing fire or rising sun. Also, Homer is eloquent in the language and that is proven by how the
choice of his vocabulary, for example when he was narrating the fastness of Achilles when chasing
Hector Pelus son went after him, sure of his speed on foot. Just as a mountain falcon, the fastest
creature of all the ones which fly, swoops down easily on a trembling pigeon as it darts off in fear, the

bird and it is also an extended simile and he is trying to show us both the speed and power of the hero
and how he wants to devour its victory. These are just few examples of the similes the poet used but

This study examined visual perception and the rates at which global and local features are reacted to
with an aim of replicating and validating a previous experiment conducted by Navon (1977) to see if
global processing was faster than local processing. There was 222 University of Newcastle students
participating in the experiment, partaking in two phases, one centred round global processing, the

It was therefore hypothesised that the reaction times for global judgments would be faster than the

conflicting stimuli in the local tasks.
Method
Participants
The sample for this study consisted of 222 participants who were second year psychology students
from the University of Newcastle. All students were participating as part of a course requirement and
all had given their consent to participating in the study.
Design
The independent variables consisted of 3 consistency types (contingent, neutral and conflicting
displays). The dependant variable was the reaction time of participants.
Apparatus
A computerised program SuperLab Pro and a keyboard was required in order to record reaction times.
Stimuli
In the first phase of this study that was based around recognising global features, the letters used were
large H s or S s. In the second phase, global letters of H, S and O were used and were made up of
smaller H s or S s, the local characters. These make up the 3 stimulus types: congruent, neutral and
conflicting. The large and small letters could be combined to create 3 types of displays: 1) Consistent,
where the large and small letters were the same (H printed from small H s, or S made of small S s). 2)

27. Thomas Hooker And Reverend Samuel Stone
The history of Hartford begins with Thomas Hooker s arrival in Newtown (later renamed Cambridge)
Massachusetts where he became a pastor of one of the earliest established churches there. However,
voting in Massachusetts was limited to freemen or limited to people who had been formally
interrogated on their religious views and experiences. Hooker disagreed with these limitations and
their influential pastor, John Cotton. So, Thomas Hooker and Reverend Samuel Stone led a group of
one hundred people in 1636 and founded the settlement of Hartford. Which then led to the founding of
the Connecticut Colony and Hookers increased involvement in politics. On January 14, 1639 freemen
from the three colonies that made up the Connecticut Colony sat down and ratified the Fundamental
Orders of Connecticut which was called the first written constitution known to history that created a
government. It marked the beginnings of American democracy, of which Thomas Hooker deserves
more than any other man to be called the father. The government of the United States today is in lineal
descent more nearly related to that of Connecticut than to that of any of the other thirteen colonies
(John Fiske). Having been founded on such prestige Hartford has seen some of the greatest successes
and some of the worst failures. For example, Hartford claimed leader in both the industrial industry
and insurance industry. Hartford houses some of the most famous insurance agencies and firearm

When an organization doesn t monitor the network, it makes it impossible to notice suspicious

Republicans in September of 2006 attached the UIGEA to the SAFE Port Act, a very popular bill
designed to protect American ports from terrorism. By doing this, Republicans passed the bill without
most Democrats even being able to read it. It was likely believed that without it being attached to
another bill, it would not have passed, as many similar bills had been turned down. It was
subsequently signed into law by President Bush on October 13. The formulation of the policy was not
to criminalize individual Americans who were gambling. Instead, the act makes it illegal for banks and
financial institutions to process transactions for Internet gambling websites. (Rainey, 150) Therefore,
instead of turning more Americans into criminals, the act simply cut off the money flow going into the
foreign online casinos. The act basically defined illegal internet gambling as gambling that states had
already made illegal under their own laws. This meant that all 50 states likely had different rules and
regulations by which this bill must be interpreted. It also meant that 2 states, Utah and Hawaii, did not
allow any form of gambling at all. For most states, the ability for an institution to sell gambling means
obtaining a license. In the case of these foreign companies running online casinos that was all but

Between 2008 and 2009, the American automotive industry incurred a major crisis, on the heels of the
housing market collapse occurring in 2007 (Klier Ribenstein, 2013). General Motors was already in a
financial vulnerable situation at this time, having already filed a $10.6 billion dollar loss three years

This restricting led to the death of three of its brands, Saturn, Pontiac, and Hummer, and the selling of
another (Sweden s Saab) to Spyker, a Dutch auto group (Krebs, 2009; Ahlander Bailey, 2010). The
company was left with five business segments and only four brands (Chevy, Cadillac, Buick, and
GMC) (Senter McManus, 2013; Maynard, 2009b). This decision to file for bankruptcy and restructure
the company was an excellent one because studies have shown that restructuring of the internal
workings of an organization increases both the efficiency of the company and its value to the
stockholders (Brickley Van Drunen, 1990). The positive effects of this restructuring is evidenced by
the ability of the government to successfully sale the entirety of its GM stock in 2013 for a total price
of $39 billion and General Motors realizing a 19% increase in sales in 2014 (McGrath, 2015; Isidore,
2013). To determine which vehicle models in the remaining brands of Cadillac, Buick, Chevy, and
GMC to continue producing, the new General Motors would have needed to undergo some research
process to determine which brands had the most growth potential and were the most value
maximizing. There are three types of research that I would propose for General Motors to undergo: a

In the following, Deborah Tannen who is a Professor at Georgetown University says, that women are
marked and men are unmarked (130 135). This explains how women are being discriminated as
marked due to women s traits, and that men are unmarked because they do not have discrimination
traits. The term marked means it is a staple that relates to the way language is being said. Women are
marked in ways, such the appearance a woman has and having certain titles. Women are criticized
each and everyday just by how they are dressed. For example, if a woman wears a tight dress and
heels, it sends out a message to men who believe that women are looking for attention. However, if
women wear nonsexual clothes that sends a message to her to think about how she could be attractive.
Tannen states, If her clothes are not sexy then that sends a message, lent meaning by the knowledge
that they could have been (133). This is saying that if women see others dressed up, then it makes

38. The Advantages And Dilemmas Of Child Care For Children
Tamai Butler
Coach Beale
Senior Capstone
March , 9 , 2018 One of the biggest decisions parents have to make after choosing to have a child
involves deciding who will care for that child, especially during the early developmental years.
Parents choose to resolve this difficult dilemma in many ways. Some families choose to use full time
childcare, while in other families one parent stays or works at home for all or part of the time. In other
families, a parent chooses to leave the workforce completely in order to become the primary caregiver.
Finding appropriate and affordable child care is often a challenge. There are different options available
in different places, and at many different price points although all options are expensive. Each care
option comes with its own advantages and disadvantages. It can be confusing ... Show more content

Nonetheless, my parents friends would routinely leave their children under my care when we got
together with other families for play dates and tea parties they obviously saw something in me that I
grew aware of more strongly as I got older. If I was always naturally going to gravitate into a role
which involved caring for children, I get huge satisfaction from working with people in general, old or
young. As much as my current role is to do with how much I love to care for children, there are other
important aspects involved in my career path. It is not just communicating well with children that is a
vital skill but also how you communicate with the people that are most important to that child. As a
nanny you learn skills which enable you to help children to develop into happy, healthy little people.
To be able to show parents how to develop their own confidence and skills to care for their children
and see them build the closest of connections, must be one of the best feelings you can get as a

39. Atomic Bomb On Hiroshima And Nagasaki
Imagine yourself walking down the familiar road of your hometown following your daily routine. The
sky is then consumed by the deafening sound of airplanes. The people around you start to panic. You
then start fleeing towards your family and loved ones as realization hits you. However it is no use,
your life had ended. Thousands of people died instantly as an atomic bomb was dropped over
Hiroshima and Nagasaki, thousands more died because of the effect after. No weapon compares to the
magnitude of destruction an atomic bomb causes. In the history of the world, atomic bombs have only
been used twice. This was during World War II in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. On June 1941, the
Manhattan Project was commenced under the care of the U.S. Office of Scientific Research and
Development. In the eyes of formal President Truman, the war was bloody and violent and gone for
way too long. The war had already claimed many lives and it was time to put a stop to it. Already in
1939, physicist of the United States were scared of the chance of Germans studying nuclear fission.
Albert Einstein then proposed the idea of this military weapon to then president, Franklin D.
Roosevelt. Manhattan Project would be the code name for this secretive project. In 1943, Harold C.
Urey set a cooperation deal with England and Canada, bringing even more scientist to work on the
new military weapon. By the end, the project grew to cost two billion dollars. On July 16th of 1945,

40. Chinese Parents Are More Successful Than Western Parents
On January 8, 2011, the Wall Street Journal published an article by Amy Chua called Why Chinese
Mothers Are Superior. In this article Chua argues that Chinese parents are more successful than
Western parents when it comes to academics and musical talent. In addition, she discusses three
differences between the two parental mindsets. First, western parents worry too much about their
children s self esteem. Second, Chinese parents believe their children owe them everything because
they brought them in this world. Third, Chinese parents believe they know what is best for their
children. Even though their mindsets are different, Chua believes that all decent parents want to do
what is best for their children. (Chua) From a Westerners perspective, the Chinese s harsh parenting
methods increases academic success and self esteem; however, their methods damage social skills.
Amy Chua s methods focus heavily on academic excellence. She enforces these methods by using
extremely strict discipline, involving insults, punishment, and threats. These methods appear harsh;
however, they are successful. In her article, she states Western parents will praise their child when
they receive an A or even a B, while Chinese parents become instantly angry if it is not an A. In fact,
Chinese mothers will do everything they can to improve their child s grade because they know they
are smarter than producing anything lower than an A. Parents do not realize telling children that they
are smarter

Warren Harding was a weak leader for our nation and is considered to be one of the worst presidents
America has seen. While in office Harding was involved in multiple scandes, affairs, and criminal
activity. Warren s strategies on things such as domestic affairs, foreign policy, and executive orders

Their Republican platform condemned the Wilson administration for its handling of World War I and
opposed the League of Nations. On trade and immigration, Harding and Coolidge advocated a higher
protective tariff and supported new immigration requirements. Overall, they promised to return the
nation to more normal times, like those prior to all the out of control drives for reform that had begun
in the 1890 s.
During Harding s presidency there was a lot of economical issues that needed to be fixed. A source
said, His biggest issue was the economy, which was suffering from World War I and its aftermath. The
soldiers came home in 1918 and 1919 and faced an 11.7 percent unemployment rate in 1920 . This
explains that our economy was falling apart and Harding need to come up with a plan to fix what was
falling apart quickly. Harding proposed a plan to reduce government spending, pay down the national
debt, and reduce tax rates. This was the Harding economic program. A source states that, Harding had
done nothing except cut government expenditure, the last time a major industrial power treated a
recession by classic laissez faire methods, allowing wages to fall to their natural level, (An economic
lesson from Warren G. Harding). Harding had an easy going personality and overall wanted peace and
love throughout the nation. This was not a bad quality to have, but as president Harding had a hard

44. The Pros And Cons Of Collective Bargaining
One of the first laws President Roosevelt enacted was National Relations Act. This law was signed
into law in 1935. The key provisions of this law is to ensure workers are protected within the industry.
The most popular aspect of this is collective bargaining. This law also curtail certain private sector
labor and management practices, which can harm the general welfare of workers businesses, and the
U.S. economy (National Labor Relations Act). Collective bargaining establishes negotiation between
the workers and the employees. This is an attempt that certain things are compromised between the
managers and the owners. This pertains to salaries, work hours, healthcare, and among others. This
bill Is considered one of the important and profound piece of legislation ever passed because it began
a wave of the federal government being supportive of unions. Unions increased dramatically for many
years after that. Another key provision of this act is essentially, the worker have power to unionize, the
owners do not have a right to interfere. Collective bargaining is the hallmark of benefits of the workers
or employees within the organization. As stated prior, there were very little regards for workers in the
entity. Workers were working for longer hours, unsafe working conditions, and were paid a meager
salary. The nature of collective bargaining have evolved over the years and took a drastic turn. An
