Lost Prophet has been experiencing a meteoric rise to stardom in recent years due to an underground music craze following the lack of real metal music within the music industry. Many fans of old style metal bands such as Metalica wanted to move on a modern update on metal music and this led to the emergence of "nu-metal". The Lost Prophets play within this genre by combining the influences of punk music with metal to create a very unique blend. The blending of heavy metal with punk vocal and lyrics characterize this type of music. It is not nearly as powerful as traditional metal because the vocals for Lost Prophet are nearly as prominent as other aspects of the music. "Nu-metal" originally started as an underground movement in Great Britain, and Lost Prophet is considered one of its early pioneers. They emerged onto the music scene in early 2000 and soon gained an audience with fans of Metalica by playing in mostly local stages. The acceptance of "nu-me

The concept of "reasonable accommodation" emerges from a variety of laws and regulations promulgated in order to eliminate discrimination in the workplace that is based on, for example, an employee's age, religion, disability, gender, race and ethnicity, and so forth (Bohlander & Snell, 2004). Of these, Meiners, Ringleb and Edwards (1994) note that accommodation of religious worship and practices and the disabled tend to predominate. Beginning with the Title VII of the Civil Rights At of 1964, and continuing through to other Congressional legislation including the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1973, the goal of these legislative actions has been to ensure that discrimination against protected classes of workers is ended and that employers undertake the creation and maintenance of efforts to ensure that individual rights are not violated. The call for "reasonable accommodation" does not mean that an employer

Abigail Smith was born in Weymouth, Massachusetts, a rural area just outside of Boston. Her upbringing had a significant impact on her later life and her women's rights ideologies. Growing up in the farmlands of Massachusetts gave her a lifelong understanding of the countryside and farming. She explores this within the first chapter as she reminisces about the freedom she felt living within nature. This became significant later in her life as she had to manage the family farm entirely by herself as John Adams went to Europe. It was her ability to be independent as a child that greatly influenced her ability to be an independent woman later on. Furthermore, another influence on her life was her family. Her father was a Clergy-men and her mother was a descendant of a strong line of clergymen. As a result, they were highly educated and were able to provide her ability and access to knowledge wider than the traditional house-educated woman. Education has a significant impac

Charlotte Perkins Gilman's story "The Yellow Wallpaper" tells the story of a woman, confined in a room with ugly yellow wallpaper, who gradually goes insane. The story is written in first person, which makes it sound as if the writer is the speaker, but writing it this way makes the experience of the woman's growing difficulties more intense. The author sets the reader up to feel that the speaker is the writer from the second sentence in the story, and uses this technique to build tension based on conflicting perceptions throughout the story. From the very beginning, the reader feels that he or she is experiencing what the narrator experiences. The narrator's difficulties are revealed subtly at first. In the second sentence, the speaker says that she thinks the house is haunted, although she finds the idea charming at that time. She has several reasons for believin

The Martini is almost as American as apple pie. The journalist H. L. Mencken said that this drink was "the only American invention as perfect as the sonnet." The writer E. B. White descibed the Martini as "the elixir of quietude," and the Russian leader Nikita Khrushchev called it "America's lethal weapon." No one knows for sure exactly who made the first one, but legend says it stems back to the 1860s. The Martini has starred in many a film, especially about alienated businessmen in the 1950s and their "three-Martini lunches." It also is associated with numerous politicians and entertainers: W.C. Fields, who was said to start each day with double Martinis, or "angels milk," as he called them; Frank Sinatra, who made it a very sophisticated drink; President F.D. Roosevelt, who enjoyed them tremendously, especially with added ingredients such as such as anisette or fruit juice; and President Richard Nixon, who supposedly was drinking Martinis during the Wa

The focus of this work in writing is the examination of the works of Mark Twain, Henry James and William Dean Howells. These three authors are considered the best writers from the period known as 'realism' in which the creation of fictitious characters in real-life situations captivated the reader with their authenticity. There are similarities and differences that exist when these three authors are compared, and yet they emerge from the period of realism in literature to stand together above the other works of this time period.

E-business functionality is useful to me where I work because it allows the parents of the students the ability to check grades online, keeping a serious eye on the deeds (or misdeeds) of their children. The school system (district) where I work is selling a product to the parents, and in regards to that my school has footed the bill to have software developed that allows parents, students, administrators and teachers to all interact online. This type of software allows for a Customer Relationship Management in regards to what is being attempted (the education of young students in a most proficient method). By developing this type of software, the school system, as the vendor was attempting to initiate a niche type of philosophy. The specific function developed for the school system in regards to its use of e-business was the ability for all to interact in a timely manner in order to facilitate a structure that would provide an educational environment that is considered one

Used commonly in educational settings, the Socratic Method centers on dialogue in the learning process. Knowledge is achieved through a rigorous question-and-answer session or through a systematic presentation of thesis and counter thesis. The presentation of relevant questions allows individuals to discover logical fallacies in belief systems and to explore multiple points of view. Initially developed by the Greek philosopher Socrates and first presen

Medical ethics is one of the most hotly debated topics within modern ethical and moral discussions because it centers on the debate of the preservation of life. No where else is this more evident than in the surgery field, because ethical considerations and hard decisions have to be made on a daily basis. Grey's Anatomy, an Emmy Award winning television show surrounding the drama of a surgical ward in Seattle, Washington attempts to accurately capture the ethical and moral dilemmas faced by surgeons on a daily level. The value conflict that this show attempts to exhibit the most within its episodes is the conflict between catering to patients' desires and sticking to established professional protocol. The reason that this value debate is embedded in every episode is because it is a real situation that many surgeons face. Through the actions of Meredith Grey and her associates it is evident that the creators of this show value the welfare of patients over the adherence to

I. Writing instructors often tell people to "write what they know." When Faulkner wrote "A Rose for Miss Emily," he was familiar with the Deep South and its attitudes toward women. When Charlotte Perkins Gilman wrote "The Yellow Wall-Paper," she was familiar with society's beliefs at the time about whether women should have intellectual pursuits. Although the two stories are told differently, each author has produced a story about a woman who was emotionally unstable, and each story has been colored by the beliefs at the time regarding women. II. Faulkner grew up in the Deep South, and presumably, heard many tales about the Civil War. In his story, he drew on those experiences to create a quietly chilling picture a woman's declining years. He hides the history of her life in the history of the town and of the house in which Miss Emily lived. For instance, he shows how time has passed her by describing the gas

The central focus of this intriguing story is the development of an individual consciousness towards an apparent form of insanity and eventually into a state of total psychosis. The story begins as we encounter the thoughts and feelings of the main character; a woman who is seemingly ill and possibly suffering from postpartum depression. Her husband rents a large rambling country house and insists that she do nothing but rest. She is obviously suffering from a form of depression but her husband does not take this seriously and does not investigate or seemed cornered with the root causes of her condition. She is treated in a condescending but kindly way by the husband. However, the important aspect of their relationship is that the husband sees her not as an individual in her own right but more as a child who is incapable of looking after herself. It becomes clear as the story develops that the women or narrator of the story is stripped of her sense of self. She seems to have no a

Student: Good Day, Sir Chaucer, and thank you for taking the time to talk to me. Today I would like to address your "Nun's Priest's Tale" from The Canterbury Tales. My first question relates to the most obvious patterns in the Tale, namely humor. Now in the introduction, it becomes clear that the Monk's tale, preceding this one, has been quite gloomy. Indeed, he is accused of annoying "the entire company", and practically begged not to imposed upon them any "more of this". It seems then that the company is looking for entertainment rather than education. Finding the Monk unable to rise from his gloom, they then settle on the Nun's Priest to tell the tale, and the host's words to him also seems to focus on the company's need for less gloomy entertainment: "Come near, you priest,/ come hither, you Sir John,Tell us a thing to make our hearts all glad". My first question to you is one focusing on this issue of humo

(A) According to Dana Shilling in her book "The Complete Guide to Human Resources and the Law", if an individual is qualified to perform essential job functions except for limitations that result from a disability, an employer must consider whether the individual could perform these essential functions with reasonable accommodation. An employer may select the most qualified applicant for a position and make decisions based on factors unrelated to the existence of a disability. Similarly, an employer is not required to retain someone who is not qualified to perform their job even if that person has a disability. The key to the legality of an employer's actions and decisions is a concept called reasonable accommodation. A reasonable accommodation s any modification in a job or work environment or employment rules that would allow an otherwise qualified applicant with a disability to enjoy equal employment opportunities including employment, promotions, raises, educational

Given that time has become our most precious resource, it's no surprise that publishers including Sam's Technical Publishing should introduce an entire series of titles that promise to teach some of the most complex programming skills in a short 24 hours. This is, of course, assuming a total of 24 hours invested over many days; it does not imply that in a straight 24-hour timeframe all the content provided in a 400+ page book can be absorbed. This is just isn't possible given how people learn which is by repetition and continued practice. Even for the most advanced students who are ready for tackling this book would take at least a week worth of accumulated time testing, verifying, and learning the concepts of the book. When the publishers state learning the subject in 24 hours, they are only speaking of time-on-task, not the ability to comprehend and use the insights gained. If this sounds like the publishers are over-committing and under-delivering, they are. It may take an accumula

The "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy of the armed forces should be enforced as to prevent personnel from not accomplishing a mission due to an interruption of morale. This policy is actually a compromise concerning the service of gays and lesbians in the United States military. In 1993, President Bill Clinton attempted to overturn the then-existing policy which mandated the immediate discharge of any military personnel found to be homosexual (Don't 2001). Although Clinton had significant support by gay rights advocates, the move was strongly opposed by the majority of military, political and religious leaders (Don't 2001). Thus, the compromise policy was agreed upon which allows homosexuals to serve as long as their sexual preferences are not openly declared and they do not engage in any homosexual activities (Don't 2001). Furthermore, military authorities must not actively seek out gay and lesbian service members (Don't 2001). The "

The Death Penalty1 (also called capital punishment) has become a highly contentious issue in recent times with seemingly weighty arguments advanced by people on both sides of the fence. Supporters of the death penalty argue that it is an effective deterrent against serious crime, conforms to the principle of retribution for taking of a human life, and prevents murderers from repeating their crimes. Its opponents, on the other hand, claim that life imprisonment is in no way a less effective deterrent, death penalty violates a criminal's "right to life," it may result in executions of some who are wrongfully convicted, and discriminates against minorities and the poor. It is my contention that death penalty should be more frequently in cases of sufficiently serious nature such as premeditated murder so that tax payers' money is not wasted on a criminal who can no longer contribute to society. Although economics can never be the sole or even the major reason for a &a

Scots-Irish migrated in America during the early years of 18th century. This migration is believed to provide great impact to what America has been today. Scots-Irish were warrior-likes. They were very experienced in fighting with the guerrillas and other rebels. They had full knowledge on how to handle and use weapons and armaments. They knew several strategies and tactics in fighting with varied kind of people and on va

Since its foundation, medical practitioners have sought to develop a set of general rules based on their collective experience and to communicate these rules in a variety of ways, including lectures, books and journals; however, over time, the growing body of evidence that has resulted has created a flood of information in the medical field. This abundance of information has created a situation wherein it is virtually impossible for clinicians to read and understand it all, and this is the basis for evidence based practice that seeks to help clinicians organize, analyze and develop appropriate conclusions based on currently available external evidence (Kristiansen & Mooney, 2004). Not surprisingly, evidence based practice has contributed much to helping researchers and practitioners alike better understand a wide range of diseases and their etiologies, with one of the more important of these conditions being tuberculosis. While tuberculosis has been brought under control in most developed nations of the world since th

1. Academic Preparation My intended major at the University of California Riverside is business, with a specialization on marketing and international business, specifically. My interest to pursue my studies and establish a future career in International Business, specifically Marketing, was influenced by my exposure to two cultures-Chinese and American cultures. Immigrating in the country 6 years ago, as a high school teenager, I was suddenly exposed to another world, completely different from the country where I came from-China. From the moment I arrived in this country, I realized two things. First, I yearned to learn more about America, and be able to be a part of this dynamic culture. And second, I suddenly realized how much I appreciate my own heritage, Chinese culture, for its equally dynamic and colorful nature. As an immigrant, I am given the opportunity to enjoy two worlds, worlds that have greatly influenced the economy, politics, and even cultures of other nations all over

The Blue Martini is a business that caters in providing its customers with superior martini drinks. Hence, if to be opened in any location, the target customers should be people who wanted to enjoy a relaxing night. This should be particularly topped by people in the working sector. After all those hard work within the day, the Blue Martini is a good venue for Parisians' socializing and drinking, comb

Recently, Fidel Castro ceded power to his brother, Raul, while undergoing stomach surgery. This action fueled speculation as to Cuba's future. As Cuban exiles rejoiced in Miami streets, believing that Castro was near death, political and business figures sat poised, ready to engage in a new trading partner. Although a new dialogue with the United States will most certainly evolve with Castro's death, it is unlikely that the Cuban government will undergo swift dramatic changes. Many experts, such as Terry McCoy, a Latin American studies professor at the University of Florida, believes that a change in leadership may not necessarily mean an immediate end to the Communist nation's current regime (Rigney 2006). McCoy says the question is whether Raul, who is less charismatic and lacks the leadership qualities of Fidel, can hold onto power, but believes the government will survive in the short term (Rigney 2006). According to McCoy, the succession plan " first involves Raul Castro and then

Comparing Catcher in the Rye to David Copperfield, especially the first few paragraphs, leads the reader to conclude that there are a remarkable amount of similarities as well as some very discernable differences, in the two stories. The content of both passages is the setting or tone for the stories as they begin to develop. In Copperfield, the author is describing his life as it began along with the fact that certain individuals took notice of him, ev
