The Russians Renamed St. Petersburg Three Times in a Century

5 Great TED Talks to Inspire Your Writing

5 Great TED Talks to Inspire Your Writing In the event that you have never heard a TED Talk, or been a piece of the crowd of one, you are passing up a genuinely incredible encounter. This is particularly evident on the off chance that you are a craftsman and business visionary for your work. TED (an abbreviation for Technology, Entertainment and Design) is a philanthropic association committed to spreading thoughts as short, amazing talks. The themes range everything from business and science to imagination and self improvement and are driven by individuals who are exceptionally fruitful in their separate organizations or inventive careers.So pause for a minute to tune in through the best ones Ive found that are driven by effective journalists to motivate your own work. You wont be disillusioned and it will probably be the most beneficial 18 minutes (or less) you spend today.Amy Tan: Where Does Creativity Hide?Amy Tan is the creator of The Joy Luck Club, The Kitchen Gods Wife and The Hundred Secret Senses. Her works investig ate mother-little girl connections and the Chinese American experience, and for this TED Talk, she examines the imaginative procedure. For scholars searching for answers in how to take advantage of the innovative procedure, this discussion is an extraordinary method to tweak your senses.Beginning with insights concerning an exposition she composed at 11 years old, Tan talks about her own procedure of creation-especially, how from nothing, comes something. As a foundation for how she was instructed, she discusses how her moms faith in destiny or condemnations created after her dad and sibling spent a half year separated. She had this thought of death all around her, and her mom accepted she would be straightaway. When you center around death, Tan notes, you become innovative in an endurance sense.Tan asks her crowd to engage the subject of for what valid reason things occur, how things occur, and how would they impact things to occur? With these inquiries, Tan presents what she consi ders the cosmology of my own universe as its maker and notes that imagination is a feeling of ones powerlessness to stifle the dull issue, the vulnerability standard (am I a fake? is my composing not important any longer?), and the eyewitness impact. In these, she takes note of that imaginative individuals have different degrees of uneasiness and uncertainty you dont realize what's going on, however you know its happening.Finally, she calls attention to that as a maker, you notice upsetting indications from the universe. Scholars get these clues/hints that have been both evident and have not been. You start to see it all the more frequently and you figure out how to apply it.

There, her possibility experiences transformed into a flat out fundamental recorded as a hard copy a story.Elizabeth Gilbert: Your Elusive Creative GeniusIn this TED Talk, American creator Elizabeth Gilbert, creator of Eat, Pray, Love, starts with a conversation of how something unconventional has occurred in her profession to recalibrate her relationship with her work. After Eat, Pray, Love, which turned into a uber sensation, she takes note of that wherever she goes, individuals treat her like shes damned, as shes never going to have the option to top the accomplishment of that book. She noticed that there is constantly a dread based response: What about the embarrassment of dismissal? Is it accurate to say that she is setting out toward the garbage dump of broken dreams?She then inquiries what is it about inventive endeavors that stress individuals? She takes note of the horrid demise of superb, innovative personalities who have passed on youthful and frequently at their own hands. Many appear to be extremely fixed in their inventiveness and it is a typical suspicion that aestheticness will at last lead to anguish. As per Gilbert, this is a perilous assumption.She then talks about how in ant iquated Greece and Rome, individuals accepted that inventiveness was a heavenly orderly. Greece called it daemons and Rome called it virtuoso, yet in the two cases, it was a mystical, divine substance that lived in the dividers of a craftsmen studio. At the point when incredible craftsmanship occurred, it was because of a people daemon or virtuoso, something that was outside of the capacity of the craftsman alone.Gilbert noticed this is a mental build to shield journalists from narcissism or nervousness about progress. With the start of objective humanism, individuals accepted craftsmanship originated from oneself. The craftsman was the virtuoso as opposed to having a virtuoso visit the person in question. As per Gilbert, this new idea makes unmanageable desires for execution that has been slaughtering off specialists for as long as 500 years and she asks: Can we return to an antiquated comprehension of the connection among people and innovative mystery?Andrew Stanton: The Clues to a Great StoryAndrew Stanton is an American movie chief, screenwriter, maker and voice on-screen character who has made honor winning screenplays with Pixar. His film work incorporates co-composing Pixars A Bugs Life (1998), alongside Finding Nemo (2003) and its continuation Finding Dory (2016).

The best narrating includes the teller knowing the consummation, and everything that is said-from the first to the last-attesting the human connection.He then talks about the best story charge: make me give it a second thought, genuinely and stylishly. Beginning from the closure of his own story to how he mastered narrating, he examines how he utilized this strategy in the dream/sci-fi movie that he co-composed and coordinated, John Carter. He noticed that, likewise with this film, every great story should start by giving you a guarantee that it will lead you some place important by the end.He at that point talks about WALL-E, which earned him two Academy Awards for Best Animated Feature, and how narrating without exchange is the most comprehensive type of narrating. The crowd really needs to work for their supper, they just dont need to know theyre really doing that, he says. Along these lines, this is the activity of the narrator and the bringing together hypothesis of his screenplay, Finding Nemo, which won him a selection for Best Original Screenplay. He takes note of that similarly as with this film, the best characters are the ones who are attempting to scratch an obscure itch.Finally, he talks about how change is crucial in a story. In the event that accounts go static, they kick the bucket. This TED Talk is so loaded with significant c ounsel, youll need to watch it twice just to discover everything from this skilled screenwriter.Misan Sagay: Why you ought to writeI compose in light of the fact that Im a wrinkle, says Misan Sagay, a previous crisis room specialist who made her composing debut with the 1999 film, The Secret Laughter of Women.To clarify this announcement, Sagay examines the explanation she composes and the explanation her crowd (which is us) ought to compose as well. She takes note of that we are joined to the entirety of our close families by stories. Stories tie us. Were similarly bound to our human family by stories, and film is the significant account fine art of our times.She tells how when growing up, she never observed herself on screen. Setting off to the film resembled taking a gander at a family photo collection and she was not there, and she asked why she was not there. She felt this as a hurt. The Black movies made at the time were prevalently male, savage, and contained medications. Her e she was-a Black lady who adored Jane Austen, and she was mysteriously absent on-screen.This constrained her to turn into a narrator since she understood that so as to see her story in film, to try and see somebody who resembles her, she would need to make it. What's more, her story would be brimming with decisions that are the entirety of who she is.In this objective, she said she before long felt like a wrinkle in a smooth sheet†¦someone was continually attempting to streamline her and persuade her to acknowledge the norm. She makes reference to hearing guidance, for example, You can't make a film with a dark female lead. No one needs to catch wind of subjection, it makes individuals awkward. There is no audience.However, she has consistently wouldn't acknowledge that. Furthermore, with that foundation, she asks the crowd, what story do you need to tell? Your story will never be caused except if you to decide to put it out there. Thus starts the creators journey.Sagay was in the long run effective in her undertaking, with the 2013 British dramatization Belle, which she wrote in 2013. The film recounts to the tale of Belle, the girl of a subjugated African and a British chief of naval operations. It dives into the untold accounts of African descendents, particularly ladies, in British society in the late 1700s. It was Sagays Jane Austen on screen, much the same as she was constrained to compose when younger.Now as an individual from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, Sagay is additionally an individual from the Wolfe pack: a gathering of 50 driving female screenwriters working in Hollywood looking to bring other ladies into the screenwriting business.Simon Van Booy: How To Write Your Novel In Under 20 minutesDont let the title fool you-this isn't a conversation of how to compose a novel in a short time (that is outlandish). Be that as it may, in this 20-minute conversation, writer Simon Van Booy addresses the inquiry: Why should anybody co mpose a novel?Some foundation on Van Booy: his short story assortment, Love Begins in Winter, won the 2009 Frank OConnor International Short Story Award. He is likewise a smash hit creator of nine fiction titles, alongside three treasurys of reasoning. He established Writers for Children in 2013 and through it, assists youthful with peopling construct trust in their narrating abilities.For this specific TED Talk, he starts by taking note of that being a business achievement isn't equivalent to being a scholarly achievement. Truth be told, by and large, the artistic greats were ineffective during their occasions. In any case, one thing they did, he notes, is that they followed their center that inward voice that guides you as an essayist and gets more grounded and more clear the more you compose. Composing liberates you from dread and with astuteness comes self-governance. Being a business achievement isnt anyplace in that equation.Fo

Lolita, Estella, Lana, and Me

Lolita, Estella, Lana, and Me “This is probably way too personal,” is a thing I think quite frequently when writing for the internet. “You never know who might be reading it.” Which is both a good thing and a bad thing, really, because sure, someone it’s vaguely about could be reading itbut so could someone who feels it’s about them, and isn’t that much more important? I think it is, so here I am, about to tell you stuff about my life that I really don’t talk about, only writewritewrite. Remember the first time you read something that reminded you of something else you’d read? It was long before you learned the word intertextuality, I’m sure (at least, it was for me). For me, it was the same moment I realized that I had read enough that such a thing could finally happen. I mean, okay, in my case I was 13 and it was the title of Tori Amos’s Boys for Pele  that reminded  me of a Sweet Valley Twins Super Edition called The Unicorns Go Hawaiian; still, I felt pretty cool because I had learned from the book that Pele was a volcano goddess and understood on a very basic level what Boys for Pele meant. The title, not the album; I was waaaayyy too young for that album when I bought it, thank goddess, or I might not have loved it as hard as I did. Anyway. On to the personal. When I first read Lolita, I was 21. When I first read Great Expectations, I was 16. When I first heard Lana Del Rey, I was 28. I’m far from a Lana fangirl, but  I feel like I get her persona because to me, it’s a character that couldn’t exist without Lolita and Estella. She became the link between the Nabokov, the Dickens, and my own history, somehow; now I can’t separate her from them. It’s just math, really: Lolita + Estella + Lana = me, for a highly formative five-year period of my life. I should be very thankful that it’s not me now at all, now that I’m happily married and just sitting around crocheting and reading books and hiding from excitement as best I can; not me now, finally feeling healed and alive and strong instead of sad and broken and Interestingâ„¢. I cringe now when I think about being 16, being 21, and the time in between when I was so busy playing characters that I’m only just now getting around to processing what really happene d (in writing of course, the way I process everything). I cringe, and I write, and I put it on the internet. *** As a survivor of a very specific type of psychological and physical violence from a young age until a slightly less-young age, I adopted the persona of a girl who could take it. I stood up and fought back, but never enough to deter the perpetrators from striking again. And again. And again. Bruised and sore, I was, but never ever willing to back down from a fight. I even convinced myself that I provoked the fights just to prove how tough I was. Tough as nails, rough as pine bark. In control, in other words. But no: nice, sugar and spice, a powder puff, a teary-eyed  puddlebut only in private. When I first read Lolita, I intentionally read her as the same, to console myself, to lift myself up and share a pedestal with this idealized-but-victimized young girl. That’s what my 21-year-old self needed, flooded as I was with memories I had no idea what to do with; flooded as I had been for five fucking years with all the awfulness I’d repressed. I needed to be idealized, and had been; we’ll get to that. I needed a pedestal because how else could I be sure everyone was looking at me, but only at the carefully-constructed version I wanted them to see. Let’s go back, shall we, even further? When I was 16, I liked a guy. I can’t call him a boy, really, because he was much older, but “man” doesn’t feel right either. I can’t call it like, really, because it turned much bigger and darker. He gave me Wuthering Heights. From there, I went to Jane Eyre and promptly to Dickens. Of course, it helped me along that path when, in 1998, Tori Amos had a song on the soundtrack to the Ethan Hawke/Gwyneth Paltrow abomination  adaptation of Great Expectations. (I actually like that film just fine, but I know I’m not really supposed to.) I paraded myself in front of this guy as much as I could. I preened. I acted out, but only when he was looking. I faked sending flirtatious AOL IMs (it was the late 90s) “to the wrong person, oops, sorry!” You know, to test the water. I wanted him to desire me, to think me wise beyond my years, an old soul, so much smarter than he was at my ageall those things older men should never say to teenage girls but always do anyway. Still, those words were all I was hungry for, and when I finally got them, mere days (okay, nights) shy of my eighteenth birthday, I had no idea what to do with them. When he invited me to his house, I pulled back. This is when he called me Estella for the first time, and I thought that actually, pulling back was showing him I was in control. It implied that he had invested something in me, maybe just lust and maybe a hefty dose of perversity, and that I had the ability to refuse him what he wanted (sex) when I realized he wasn’t going to reciprocate in the way I wanted him to (with love). I needn’t reveal more to get my point across. I hope he doesn’t read this and know himself immediately. I hope he does. That whole era of my life, those two years and the three-yes-three it took to move on, feels like something out of a book. Actually, it is technically  in a book because I wrote literally hundreds of poems about it all, and more. I was prepared in a couple of unique ways, at least, to accept the character Lana Del Rey embodies in her songs. It’s been argued that she glorifies violence against women, that she’s the ultimate poseur, that she plain sucks, and so on. I don’t really keep up with her outside of her music, honestly, so I don’t have opinions on those things. (As a semi-ranty aside, I will say that, while I know she has distanced herself from feminism, it actually hurts rather than helps when other women tear her down for that. We should be asking what feminism is doing wrong that alienates women like her.) All I know is that so many of Lana’s lyrics perfectly narrate my feelings for The Guy. He wasn’t as old as Humbert, and he wasn’t rich like a skeezy old man  in a LDR song, but I’m a little shocked he didn’t quote “light of my life, fire of my loins” at me at some point. The more damaged I painted myself to be, the more interested he became. As if all my past experiences led to me being just exactlywhat?desperate unhinged appealingly crazy enough to give him what he wanted. I persisted; I held back. I took so I could refuse to give. When  Lana Del Rey released Ultraviolence earlier this year, immediately the play on words struck me: Is she trying to talk about the level of violence that’s there but invisible, like ultraviolet light? Verbal abuse. Sexual coercion without physical force. Psychological torture. Everything unnameable and evil that never leaves a bruise, never brings blood, never mars the surface. She sings “he hit me and it felt like a kiss,” sounding disturbingly disaffected, in the voice of a woman who is as accustomed to violence as other women are to affection. She tells herself a man is shitty to her because “I’m pretty when I cry.” She is as trapped as Lolita, as disillusioned as Estella. She’s a link between the two that makes sense to me because of my strained relationship with them both. *** Hi, I’m an open book built of other books, of music and poetry, and especially of the too-personal, rambling essays I’m fond of putting on the internet. I want to know whose words you’re made of, so tell me in the comments.

Till the end of the World War II, the development of the science of public administration was confined to the U S A and Europe and most of the scholars and practitioners in the field studied the administrative systems of the USA or Europe and arrived at generalizations which they tried to apply to in all countries. After World War II came to an end, there came about the independence of the colonies and the need for development of administrative systems suited to these colonies arose. Scholars, therefore, found the need to arrive at generalizations in the field of public administration which would be applicable in these countries with diverse political economic and social systems. Led by scholars like F.W. Riggs, Ferrel Heady, Gabriel A. Almond and others, th e comparative public Administration came in to being and it started the comparative study of systems of public administration, comparing the systems of different countries, developed, underdeveloped, and arriving at principles applicable across a broad range of countries.

The Taming Of The Shrew Analytic Play Review Essay Example For Students

The Taming Of The Shrew Analytic Play Review Essay The Taming Of The Shrew by William Shakespeare is probably one of Shakespeare’s earliest comedies. Its plot is derived from the popular ‘war of the sexes’ theme in which males and females are pitted against one another for dominance in marriage. The play begins with an induction in which a drunkard, Christopher Sly, is fooled into believing he is a king and has a play performed for him. The play he watches is what constitutes the main body of The Taming Of The Shrew. In it, a wealthy land owner, Baptista Minola, attempts to have his two daughters married. One is very shrewish, Katherine, while the other is the beautiful and gentle Bianca. In order to ensure Katherine is married, Baptista disallows Bianca to be espoused until Katherine is wed, forcing the many suitors to Bianca to find a mate for Katherine in order for them to vie for Bianca’s love. Many critics of the play condemn it for the blatant sexist attitude it has toward women but closer examination of the play and the intricacies of its structure reveal that it is not merely a story of how men should ‘put women in their place’. The play is, in fact, a comedy about an assertive woman coping with how she is expected to act in the society of the late sixteenth century and of how one must obey the unwritten rules of a society to be accepted in it. Although the play ends with her outwardly conforming to the norms of society, this is in action only, not in mind. Although she assumes the role of the obedient wife, inwardly she still retains her assertiveness. Most of the play’s humour comes from the way in which characters create false realities by disguising themselves as other people, a device first introduced in the induction. Initially this is accomplished by having Christopher Sly believe he is someone he is not and then by having the main play performed for him. By putting The Taming Of The Shrew in a ‘play within a play’ structure, Shakespeare immediately lets the audience know that the play is not real thus making all events in the play false realities. Almost all characters in the play take on identities other than their own at some point of time during the play. Sly as a king, Tranio as Lucentio, Lucentio as Cambio, Hortensio as Litio and the pedant as Vicentio are all examples of this. Another example of this is Katherine as an obedient wife. We will write a custom essay on The Taming Of The Shrew Analytic Play Review specifically for you for only $16.38 $13.9/page Order now In The Taming Of The Shrew, courtship and marriage are not so much the result of love but rather an institution of society that people are expected to take part in. As a result of the removal of romance from marriage, suitors are judged, not by their love for a woman, but by how well they can provide for her. All suitors compare the dowry each can bring to the marriage and the one with the most to offer ‘wins’ the woman’s hand in marriage. This competition for marriage is like a game to the characters of the play. While discussing the courtship of Bianca with Gremio, Hortensio says â€Å"He that runs fastest gets The ring† (Act I, scene i, l. 140-141) likening receiving permission to wed Bianca to winning a race. In the game, however, women are treated like objects that can be bought and sold rather than as human beings. This is expected since the society is a patriarchal one. For example, Lucentio, Tranio and Petruchio are all defined with reference to the ir fathers and all the elderly authority figures, like Baptista and Vicentio, are men. The taming of Katherine is not a women’s shrewishness being cured as much as it is a woman being taught the rules of the ‘patriarchal game’. Katherine has learned how to be assertive and with this knowledge is able to control men, and a woman controlling a man is considered ‘against the rules’ of the game. The play ends with Katherine proving that she is truly cured of her ’shrewishness’ and is the most obedient of the three newlywed wives at the end of the play. .u1e0fc7706fe5d77bcf18549994f18385 , .u1e0fc7706fe5d77bcf18549994f18385 .postImageUrl , .u1e0fc7706fe5d77bcf18549994f18385 .centered-text-area { min-height: 80px; position: relative; } .u1e0fc7706fe5d77bcf18549994f18385 , .u1e0fc7706fe5d77bcf18549994f18385:hover , .u1e0fc7706fe5d77bcf18549994f18385:visited , .u1e0fc7706fe5d77bcf18549994f18385:active { border:0!important; } .u1e0fc7706fe5d77bcf18549994f18385 .clearfix:after { content: ""; display: table; clear: both; } .u1e0fc7706fe5d77bcf18549994f18385 { display: block; transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; width: 100%; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #95A5A6; } .u1e0fc7706fe5d77bcf18549994f18385:active , .u1e0fc7706fe5d77bcf18549994f18385:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #2C3E50; } .u1e0fc7706fe5d77bcf18549994f18385 .centered-text-area { width: 100%; position: relative ; } .u1e0fc7706fe5d77bcf18549994f18385 .ctaText { border-bottom: 0 solid #fff; color: #2980B9; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-decoration: underline; } .u1e0fc7706fe5d77bcf18549994f18385 .postTitle { color: #FFFFFF; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 100%; } .u1e0fc7706fe5d77bcf18549994f18385 .ctaButton { background-color: #7F8C8D!important; color: #2980B9; border: none; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: none; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 26px; moz-border-radius: 3px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; text-shadow: none; width: 80px; min-height: 80px; background: url(https://artscolumbia.org/wp-content/plugins/intelly-related-posts/assets/images/simple-arrow.png)no-repeat; position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0; } .u1e0fc7706fe5d77bcf18549994f18385:hover .ctaButton { background-color: #34495E!important; } .u1e0fc7706fe5d77bcf18549994f18385 .centered-text { display: table; height: 80px; padding-left : 18px; top: 0; } .u1e0fc7706fe5d77bcf18549994f18385 .u1e0fc7706fe5d77bcf18549994f18385-content { display: table-cell; margin: 0; padding: 0; padding-right: 108px; position: relative; vertical-align: middle; width: 100%; } .u1e0fc7706fe5d77bcf18549994f18385:after { content: ""; display: block; clear: both; } READ: My Mother is a Hero EssayThis is demonstrated in her soliloquy when she lectures the other wives on the proper way in which a woman should behave: I am ashamed that women are so simple To offer war where they should kneel for peace, Or seek rule, supremacy, and sway, When they are bound to serve, love, and obey. (Act V, scene ii, l. 161 164) Although most critics interpret the play as being that of a woman finally acting the way in which she is supposed to act, it is difficult to believe that a character as vibrant and strong-willed as Katherine is changed so easily. Following with the device of false realities that Shakespeare set in place so early in the play, it would seem more logical that Katherine would simply be acting the part of ‘the obedient wife’ in order to be accepted in the society in which she lives. Katherine can ‘play a part’ very well and can even enjoy doing it. This is shown on the road to Padua from Petruchio’s house when Kate is forced to address Vincentio as a woman and says, â€Å"Young budding virgin, fair and fresh and sweet† (Act IV, scene v, l. 37). The Taming Of The Shrew is a light-hearted comedy that is better seen than read. This is especially true since a lot of the humour in it is physical or ’slapstick’ humour which is possible only on stage. The complexity of the play is refreshing, as many of the modern plays of today are quite linear and do little to keep a reader’s attention. Another favourable aspect of it is the subplot involving Lucentio and Bianca which lends itself as the basis for many humourous moments, most notably between Lucentio, Hortensio and Bianca. The obvious sexist attitude of the play does not hinder it because of the reasons stated above. One must also take into account the attitudes of sixteenth century England and the fact that the play is a comedy and is not meant to be taken seriously.

The Changing Meaning of School

The Changing Meaning of School The Changing Meaning of School The Changing Meaning of School By Maeve Maddox Since Shakespeare’s time at least, children have been portrayed as being reluctant to go to school: the whining school-boy with his satchel And shining morning face, creeping like snail Unwillingly to school.  - As You Like It, II:vii,148-150. That’s a sad fate for school, a word that originated in the context of enjoyable leisure time. Our word school comes from Latin schola, â€Å"learned leisure.† Schola was free time during which educated men could sit around and talk about ideas. The talk might lead to lecturing and arguing, so from meaning â€Å"free time for talking about ideas,† schola came to mean debate, dispute, lecture, dissertation. More and more definitions were added. A schola could be â€Å"a place where learned disputations are carried on.† Then, the followers of a favorite lecturer or philosopher were called â€Å"a schola.† Note: School in the expression â€Å"a school of fish† derives from Middle Dutch schole, â€Å"flock of animals.† In modern English, school has numerous meanings and occurs in several idioms. School can mean any of the following: An establishment or institution for the formal education of children or young people. The building or set of buildings used by a school. A place, environment, experience, etc., which forms or develops a persons character or behavior. A group of people who follow or are influenced by the teaching of a particular person, or who share similar principles, ideas, or methods. A group of people who share a particular opinion, practice, or custom. A particular type of doctrine or practice as followed by a group of people. An institution in which instruction of a particular kind is given. A department in a college or university. Here are a few examples of these different uses: A painting of Mary Stuart by an unknown artist of the School of Clouet hangs at the Hermitage, St. Petersburg. Spenser  earned his degree  in the  school of hard knocks, so he is ready when a Boston university hires him to recover a rare, stolen manuscript. You have to understand,  hes definitely old school when it comes to  understanding different cultures. This is a discussion of Marxism-Leninism as a  school of thought as opposed to a political practice. The Colorado School of Mines Board of Trustees announced that  Paul C. Johnson  is the finalist for president of Colorado School of Mines. The Missouri  School of Journalism at  University of Missouri in Columbia is a journalism school which may be the oldest formal journalism school in the world.

5 Reasons the New SAT Changes Arent Revolutionary

5 Reasons the New SAT Changes Aren't Revolutionary SAT / ACT Prep Online Guides and Tips Today the makers of the SAT test announced some changes coming up in the next few years to focus better on academic skills. The changes were supposed to come in 2015 originally, but due to some bugs, they were delayed until at least 2016. Even today, a precise launch date isn't set yet. The purported changes include reducing emphasis on vocabulary, making the essay optional, changing from a 2400 scale to 1600, and eliminating the guessing penalty, and more. What does this mean for you? Aside:Considering taking the new SAT? Check out our guides to deciding, whether you got ahigh scoreor a low one. The short answer is: less than you think. Here's why: 1. New Scoring System or Old Scoring System? One of the major changes is a shift from 2400 points to 1600 total. Seems like a drastic change? Well, the 1600 system used to be the old system until year 2005. This isn't so much a "new change" insomuch as it's a reversion to the old way of doing things. And eliminating a pure writing section to be reading and math again? We saw that before 2005 too! This isn't a surprise to SAT experts. Many colleges have been reluctant to accept the 2400 system. Most colleges downweight the writing section, and some colleges throw away the writing score altogether. The College Board has learned their lesson that cramming a writing score down the mouths of students and colleges isn't the way to go. A turn to the 1600 system isn't so much a major step forward as much a reversion to older times and older strategies. 2. No Guessing Penalty? That makes no difference! The SAT makers announced today that the guessing penalty will be eliminated from the SAT. It turns out that mathematically this makes no real difference on the way you take the test. This isn't mere speculation, but a proven Statistics 101 fact. The intuition behind the proof is that even now there is no real guessing penalty to begin with: even in the current SAT, there is no expected statistical loss if you make a completely random guess! We'll post more about the proof later, and what you can do to take advantage of the new system, but take our words on it there's no change at all to meaningful guessing tactic. 3. Less Vocabulary? This has been the trend already. Did you hear that the new SAT won't be chock full of rare words (esoteric, inscruable, recondite, etc)? While this gives academics a topic to argue about (how important are difficult words in assessing education), it doesn't mean that much for the student. This has been the way the SAT has been trending for years. In fact, most of the power of vocabulary for the SAT was neutralized when the SAT decided to get rid of analogies in 2005. Before 2005, analogies and vocabulary used to dominate the SAT and form the large majority of skill tested in the reading section. The reduction of vocab on the SAT is more symbolic than practical. Practically speaking, rare words have been on the decline for years. And don't pack up your index cards yet: the SAT will still target vocab to some extent, but more towards words that are used in college courses like "synthesis and "empirical". 4. Optional Essay? Optional if you don't want to impress colleges. Supposedly the new essays are going to be optional. Some people have even called this "dropping the essay from the SAT." This is far from true if the past is any indicator. In reality, the colleges that students apply to will decide what's optional and what's not. What's technically optional optional paper may not be optional in reality. For example, back in 2005, not only were essays optional, the entire writing section was optional! You know what happened? A large number of universities requested the writing section anyway. In the end, all students had to take the "optional" writing section in order to have a shot at these universities. Sure, so go ahead and make the essay optional. But until colleges stop requesting them, new students will still do well by studying for an essay. 5. Real Changes? Look at history. This isn't the first time the makers of the SAT said they were going revolutionize the SAT. Did you know major changes were announced in 2005, 1994, and regularly before that even? Of course, some of the smaller details and strategies will change, and the ecosystem, including us at PrepScholar will adapt to that. To hail this as fundamentally revolutional would be to take these announcements too far though. How do you prepare for this new test? We at PrepScholar Online SAT Prep are always keeping abrest of the latest changes, and in the next few months we'll be talking about some tactical and strategy changes that students will have to make for the SAT.

Uncertainy avoidance Assignment Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 500 words

Uncertainy avoidance - Assignment Example According to Reimann, LÃ ¼nemann & Chase (2008), clients from those cultures that exhibit increased uncertainty avoidance are less satisfied with service defects, or when service expectations are not met as compared to those from low-uncertainty cultures. I have identified culture as a strong determinant of a persons behavior even when such a person is in a very different culture. In my view, conflict will always be pervasive as long as the people in any situation have different cultural orientations. Recently, the world has witnessed the UN and USA trying to convince President Assad of Syria to step down and allow democratic leadership to take on. However, he still has strong internal and external support from those citizens and nations with high levels of uncertainty avoidance like Russia. If the situation in Syria were happening in Western nations, the citizens would be less willing to support such a regime under war circumstances. The reading has allowed me to reflect on why a number of people get it very rigid to change. For instance, I have quite a number of my friends who take the course, which a former family member took, and highly avoid new courses that are a little bit predictable in terms of employment opportunities and p rogress. Additionally, I have gained a clear understanding of why people from most Asian countries like to live in groups and rarely make friendships with those different from them. Reimann, LÃ ¼nemann & Chases (2008) study has allowed me to note that, in business, it is good to learn and understand the differences in customers’ cultures, expectations and needs, to be able to take action of them in the best way and to avoid conflict. As Kegan & Lahey (2009) observe, in cultures with a high level of uncertainty avoidance, citizens opt for predictable leadership and governance. They then become loyal to their leaders and embrace their way of doing things with little criticism. Here, citizens are concerned;

The political atmosphere which influenced the Russian avant garde Essay

The political atmosphere which influenced the Russian avant garde - Essay Example This research paper examines that young artists from Russia decided not to be influenced by literature and painting, rather by the various political movements. Many artists from Russia attended lectures held by Marinetti as they had admiration for Italian futurism. In the years 1908 to 1909, there were various Golden Fleece Markets and some notable artists had their works shown. They included Mikhail Larionov and Natalia Goncharova who promoted scenes that were primitive as well as robust. Later on, during the exhibition known as ‘Donkey’s Tail’, Larionov and Goncharova proved that they could make sure that Russian painting was modernized. At the same time, these two artists were critical and independent concerning western culture. In conclusion, Larionov published the ‘Manifesto of Rayonism’, which had information regarding artistic theories that were new. They were known as synthesis of Orphism, Futurism and Cubism. Larionov was inspired by the scie ntific discovery of ultra-violet rays and radioactivity, thus obtaining the name Rayonism. The Rayonism movement was popular in the western part of Europe from 1913 to 1914. Moreover, in the year 1917, while in Rome, it was zealously taken up and unfortunately, did not survive during the war. In turn, Larionov went to France and worked on the Ballets Russes. This shows that the avant garde in Russia affected many artists and the manner they carried out their work.

The Causes Of The Civil War Essay -- essays research papers

"The tragic ‘fireball in the night’ imagined by Jefferson had finally rung. The Missouri Compromise had failed. Proslavery and antislavery civilians clashed in the streets and took up arms. Thousands of Northerners were willing to die for their beliefs. The Civil War had begun. The states were at war with each other." This dividing battle between the North and the South was unavoidable. The Civil War was caused by economic, political and moral problems. It all started by an alarming increase in a need for cotton, which triggered the building of a barrier between two territories in a growing nation. New Machinery was changing the textile industry in New England and Britain. These mills needed more and more cotton, creating a new demand in the south. For this trade with Europe, after 1812, raw cotton accounted for one-third all cotton exports of the United States. By 1830, it increased to half. Cotton quickly became a big money-making cash crop for the South and North economy alike. But the demand also revived the need for slaves. The plantations had to be worked, and blacks were a cheap, efficient way to get the cotton picked. To make their jobs easier, Eli Whitney took advantage of the new idea, and invented the cotton gin(short for engine). It rapidly cleaned the seeds from the short, sticky fibers of upland cotton, the variety that grew all over the South. The process was simple: a roller carried raw cotton along wooden slats. Sharp metal teeth thrust through the slats and quickly pulled the fibers from the seeds. In 1794, he obtained a patent. Whitney still earned little because it was simple enough for manufacturers to copy. Even though the machine made attaining cotton faster, slaves were still pushed to work harder and produce more. Blacks under captivity certainly led a harsh, unfair life. But that is where the white southerners believed blacks belonged. Northerners knew better. Harriet Beecher-Stowe, a female, black abolitionist was aware of these conditions. She wrote Uncle Tom’s Cabin, which was published in 1852, and described the incredible cruelty and horrors of slavery. Stowe wanted to "write something that would make the whole nation feel what an accursed thing slavery is." Her novel became widely popular, and within a year, readers had bought 300,000 copies. Wherever it went, it ... ...opular sovereignty was also put into effect. This act gave the voters, in each territory, the right to decide whether to become a free state or a slave state. Together, they rendered the Missouri Compromise meaningless. As the South’s dependence on slavery increased between 1790 and 1860, the gap between the Southern cotton economy and industrial economy of the North widened. The opposing goals and needs of the North and South created a deeper conflict- a conflict that eventually lead to war. Basically, the North fought to keep the union together, and give black slaves freedom, while the South fought for their lifestyle, homes, and to keep things together economically. The northerners had high moral issues while the Southerners wanted to keep their plantations and cotton production. They weren’t willing to give up there slaves. There were too many conflicts between the two territories, so they fought to resolve them. John Brown, a vengeful abolitionist put it best, "the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away, but with blood". The north won the war, and ties were broken. The barrier they had started to build so long ago finally crumbled.

Curley’s Wife Essay

Explore the ways Steinbeck presents one or more minor characters in ‘Of Mice and Men’ In this essay I will be giving you an insight on how Steinbeck presents one minor character in the novel, Of Mice and Men. John Steinbeck wrote the novel in 1937 the novel is set on a ranch in the Salinas Valleys in California during the Great Depression due to the Wall Street Crash in America. America’s stock market crashed and many people ended up unemployed which led to them leaving their families to look for jobs around America including some of the characters in the novel.My essay is focused on Curley’s wife and I will be discussing the ways Steinbeck presents her appearance, personality, dreams and the ranch worker’s views her. Steinbeck presents Curley’s wife as a flirtatious woman and attention seeking towards other men. This is shown on (page 53) â€Å"She wore a cotton house dress and red mules, on the insteps of which were little bouquets of red o strich feathers roughed lips, wide spaced eyes, with red fingernails†. This quote foreshadows and signifies that Curley’s wife will have sexual feelings to other men throughout the story because of the ways she appears and acts.Steinbeck also presents her wearing the colour red throughout the story. The colour red is a colour synchronised with danger this shows that people should keep away from her because she may be dangerous. The colour red can also be synchronised with love and romance this means that she could be flirtatious towards other men and she also can show love towards them. This is why she dresses this way it also suggests to the reader that Curley’s wife acts seductively towards other men because she dresses up in a seductive way so she can catch the attention of other men on the ranch such as George and Lennie.She dresses that way because she is a tramp and they like to seduce other men towards them despite having a husband called Curley. This also shows that she is not really loved by Curley because she needs other men to catch her attention and body. She also could be found innocent â€Å"wide spaced eyes† this is something which she cannot help. The worker’s on the ranch view Curley’s wife in a negative way. Evidence to support this is â€Å"I seen em’ poison before, but I never seen no piece of jailbait worse than her â€Å"Said George (to Lennie).This quote suggests that Curley’s Wife is unsafe to be around because she is â€Å"Jailbait† meaning she is a young woman considered in sexual terms. This shows that Curley’s wife could land Lennie in jail due to her being presented in that way. Due to Lennie calling her â€Å"Jailbait† this means that the reader is supposed see Curley’s wife in a negative way. This would also make the reader predict that Curley’s wife would be dangerous, trouble and bad as the story progresses. George also says â€Å"worse than her† this is suggesting that she is the worst jailbait he has seen.The reader also learns that they have encountered a problem like this before â€Å"I seen em’ poison before† this shows that they have come across another women like this before. We see this in the introduction  In Weed, Lennie â€Å"pets† a girl’s pretty dress and frightens her away which makes George and Lennie run out of town due to people chasing them. This quote may be prejudicing the reader because before the reader has actually learnt much about the character they are already presenting her in a negative way.This is because women were not seen as important in the 1930s and they had no rights therefore women were not well-respected so men could just talk about women in that manner. Steinbeck presents Curley’s wife in a provocative way so she can be noticed. This suggests that she uses provocative body language, ‘she put her hands behind her back and leaned against the door frame so that her body was thrown forward’. This is her flimsy excuse to be with the men on the ranch. She both talks and acts playfully and flirtatiously in front of the ranch workers.She behaves in this manner because her sexuality is her only weapon to gain attention. Therefore this makes her body as an object because by using her body she can be noticed. Loneliness is a major theme in the novel. This suggests that she does this because she is lonely; she is the loneliest character in the story. She is also the only woman character so she needs company by anyone. Her husband, Curley does not really love her and she does not love him. Several times throughout the story she does this she says she’s looking for Curley but really that is just an excuse to be with other men.Steinbeck makes great use of isolation; it is shown throughout the story. Curley’s Wife is a character who is isolated. This shows that she is isolated because she can’t really go anywhere nor do much on a ranch so she needs people to keep her busy so her time can pass by. The main theme of the novel is ‘The American Dream’. Like many characters in the book, Curley’s wife also has a dream. She dreams of being a film star. Steinbeck makes very good use of dreams throughout the novel. Steinbeck uses context ‘The American Dream’ to present Curley’s wife’s dream.This can be shown in chapter five on (page 125) â€Å"Could ‘a been in the movies an’ had nice clothes- all them nice clothes like they wear. An’ I could ‘a sat in big hotels and had pitchers took of me. This quote shows that ‘The American Dream’ is important context here. ‘The American Dream’ states that anyone can achieve anything they dream of in America. However, for Curley’s wife, like lots of ordinary Americans, this does not turn out to be reality. She also repeats â€Å"I couldaâ €  this suggests that it could have been but now is no longer a possibility.Instead being in Hollywood she is stuck with her unloving husband Curley who does not really care for her.
