Eulogy for Father
On behalf of myself, my mom and my brother, I want to thank everyone for being here....On the one hand, I was dreading today. I don't want to cry anymore. I don't want to yearn to hug my dad one last time, long to see his smiling face or hear his cheerful voice. On the other hand, I wanted today to come so that I could be around all of the people who love my dad so that I might feel his presence through sharing memories of him,....sharing tears....and maybe even sharing some laughter.
How do you come to terms with the loss of your beloved father? How do you find happiness again? How do you move forward despite your aching heart, emptiness and sadness? It's like I'm in the midst of a nightmare that doesn't disappear when I wake up. I desperately want to find peace within myself about my father's death. I want my faith to reassure me that my dad is still with me in spirit. I think if I take this time to share the kind of man my father was, we might all feel like he is still very much alive.
My dad was the most passionate person I've ever known. When he believed there was truth in something, he strived to educate others in the hopes they might open their minds to new possibilities. He was silly and zany with a great sense of humor. His lively presence was always felt in a room. He was a voracious reader. If I ever had a question about something, he always had answers because he'd read an article or a book recently about it. He was generous with his time. He would do anything for anybody at any time. My dad loved toys. When I was a kid, he'd buy me things that he really wanted to play with like capsella and model trains. He was an extremely sentimental person. When he visited his grandson for the first time 2 months ago, he bought him his first model car and purchased the New York Times that came out the day after so that Matthew would someday know what was going on in the world the day he was born, he saved all magazines, he framed simple notes sent by friends that signified an important time in his life, he couldn't bare to sell his childhood home.
The Heian period in Japan was from 794 to 1185. During this time, the imperial court was believed to be at its peak, when literature and poetry flourished. China was thought to be an exemplary model of culture and civilization, and Japan desired to break away to become its own powerful entity. Due to the steady decline of Chinese influence, Japan was able to establish its own native identity. Through literature, the Japanese elevated their status to challenge China. The first imperial anthology was the Kokinshū that consisted of over 1000 poems, most of them in tanka form. This anthology displayed waka as an acceptable and valuable art form. Thus, it was through poetry that Japanese literature gained appreciation and respect. Throughout the Heian period, poetry held a central role in traditional Japanese literature, in both monogatari and nikki. The focus of this paper will be the role of poetry in narrative prose in the Heian period as shown through the Ise monogatari, Taketori monogatari, and Tosa nikki. These specific works were chosen because each represents a different style of traditional Japanese prose narratives, yet they are all connected by the central thread of poetry.
In the Heian period, Japanese literature and prose was beginning to take shape, starting with things like the Man’yōshū and Kokinshū leading the way to taking poetry to the level of art. Ki no Tsurayuki said that he wanted to make Japanese poetry or waka a higher cultural thing to be enjoyed by the whole country and he succeeded. Poetry became wildly popular with people reciting and creating on the spot, whenever something struck their fancy or they felt that a poem would do the situation well. To consider yourself cultured, it was almost necessary to dabble in poetry as well.
For the heart to perform properly, the functions of the left ventricle must also perform properly. It should relax quickly after each contraction so the oxygenated blood stored in the left atrium can fill it quickly. On the other hand, it should also contract quickly and with a lot of force to push this vital blood into the aorta. The force and pressure from the left ventricle has to be strong enough to overcome the aortic pressure so the blood will push forward. The pressure of the left ventricle also needs to be strong enough to stretch the aorta to accommodate sudden increases in blood volume. To maintain the needs of the body, the left ventricle needs to be able to quickly adapt its pumping capacity signaled by the nervous system. For example, the left ventricle should increase its pumping capacity signaled b...
The origins of kiko, or travel literature, in Japan spans to well over 1000 years ago. One of the earliest examples of kiko is Ki no Tsurayuki’s Tosa nikki, a diary which Tsurayuki wrote most likely in 935 during the Heian period of Japan. Another important example of kiko, which is similar in ways yet also very dissimilar to Ki no Tsurayuki’s Tosa nikki, due in part to the many years that the two are separated by in terms of when they were composed, is Matsuo Basho’s Oku no hosomichi, or Narrow Road to the Interior/Narrow Road to the Deep North, which was written in the late 17th century during the Edo period of Japan.
...rver). So, we should not be surprised to learn that Bash allows us to run any Unix command in a background mode simply by appending an ampersand (&). In this sense Bash does appear to support concurrent programming, but only at a very coarse-grained level. Ruby however, offers finer control through Ruby threads. Ruby threads are not true operating system threads but do allow us to emulate them and are quite adequate for most situations where concurrent processing is required. The latest version of Ruby (version 1.9) now offers a feature called ‘Fibers’ which offer further concurrent abilities.
If you put your hand on your upper left side of your chest the first thing you feel is your heart beating. Many people may not fully understand what our heart does, but they know they need it to survive in life. The heart only has one duty, and that is to pump blood throughout our bodies. The heart is just a muscle that plays a huge roll. There is a left and a right side to the heart and both do two different things in order to get the blood through our bodies. Our heart has a superior and inferior vena cava, right and left atrium, a tricuspid valve, right and left ventricle, a pulmonary valve, right and left pulmonary artery, left and right pulmonary vein, a bicuspid valve, and an aorta. Who ever knew our heart was so.. HELP
During the Heian period Japanese literature expanded to include works other than the traditional forms of poetry exemplified in the manyoshu and kokinshu. In the court of Heian Japan, two additional forms of literature were developed and produced: the nikki and monogatari. Nikki can be translated as dairy or journal and indeed some examples of nikki are rather methodical daily records of feelings and events. (Nikki Bungaku, Encyclopedia of Japan) Monogatari on the other hand can be translated as talk of things, and is by far the more narrative of the two literary genres. (Monogatari, Encyclopedia of Japan) Well known examples of nikki are Tosa Nikki by Ki no Tsurayuki and Izumi Shikibu Nikki by Izumi Shikibu while the most famous example of monogatari both during Heian ...
From there the impulse travels along the left and right bundle branches in the septum of the heart all the way to the Purkinje fibers. At this point, the blood has flowed from the atria to the ventricles. The impulse signal in the Purkinje fibers is allowing the apex of the heart to contract. Allowing the apex to contract first allows for the heart to work more efficiently. As soon as the apex contracts, the AV valves close and the walls of the heart begin to contract which pull the papillary muscles. The papillary muscles have chordae tendineae that attach themselves to the atrioventricular valves. These chordae tendineae work to try and prevent AV valve prolapse. When the pressure is great enough in the ventricles to overcome the resting blood on the other side of the arteries, the blood will be pushed out of the ventricles and will be passed through the semilunar valves. The right ventricle pushed blood through the pulmonary semilunar valve, and the left ventricle will push blood through the aortic semilunar valve. When the ventricles have expelled as much blood as they can and the pressure returns to a lower level the heart will begin to relax allowing the semilunar valves to close. Excess blood that does not get pushed along the arteries will remain on the artery side of the semilunar
Before I begin I would like to thank all of you here on behalf of my mother, my brother and myself, for your efforts large and small to be here today, to help us mark my fathers passing.
Fortran is one of the thousands of different programming languages. A programming language is a set of grammatical rules or guidelines for a compiler to follow. A compiler is a program that converts a programming language into what is called the object code, which is usually binary. Object code is code that the computer or program can understand. Basically, programming languages are for us to be able to create programs and control a computer in a simpler way instead of using what the computer understands, object code. There are different levels of programming languages; the main ones being human language, high-level language, assembly language, and machine language. Human language is the various programming languages we use such as C++, Java, HTML, CSS, and Fortran. High-level language is simpler than human language, however, more complex than the languages that the computer itself understands. Assembly language and machine language are similar. The difference between these two languages is that machine language consists of only numbers while in assembly language, names can be substituted for numbers. Each central processing unit has its own distinctive machine language that it understands. No matter what type of language you use, your program eventually gets converted all the way down to machine language so the computer can understand it. This is where compilers come in. The reason there are so many different programming languages is because each and every one has its benefits and cons. Some languages create programs that are good for handling numerical data, such as Fortran, while others are used for complex object oriented programs. The type of language used depends on three main components; the type of program being written, t...
The natural heart consists of two pumps and four chambers. The right atrium pumps oxygen-depleted blood from the body to the right ventricle and then on to the lungs. The left atrium sends oxygen-rich blood from the lungs to the left ventricle and then pumps this blood out to the body. Contraction of the atria is followed by the contraction of the large ventricles. The valves of the heart serve as check valves, closing to control blood flow.
Elton Mayo could be referred to as the father of behavioral management. However, when Mayo created this theory it was originally known as human relations (Bruce & Nyland 2011). Human relations stemmed directly from the way industry treated humans, almost as if they were machinery. Mayo’s theory evolved around the social aspects of people’s lives and how they have a pertinent role in production (Bruce & Nyland 2011). Throughout the article, the authors examine how Mayo found his way into the industry, and conclude that it was through his powerful and influential relationships, such as JDR Jr (Bruce & Nyland 2011). Kyle Bruce is a Senior Lecturer in the Graduate School of Management, Macquarie University, Australia and Chris Nyland is a Professor of International Business also at Monash University. Nyland recently investigated the economic, social, and business effects of globalization, while Bruce has published several papers on Scientific Management and Human Relations (Bruce & Nyland 2011).
Ventricles are larger because they have to pump the blood longer distances than the atriums. Blood flows through the heart in one direction; the valves that are created by the endocardium maintain this one directional flow. There are two sets of valves present in the heart, atrioventricular (AV) valves, and semilunar valves (Mahadeven, 2015). The AV valves are located between the top portion of the heart called atriums, and the lower portion of the heart called ventricles and the semilunar valves are located between the ventricles and the major arteries inside the heart- the pulmonary artery and the aorta (Mahadeven,
hhh! And my day starts in 5 ,4 ,3, 2, and 1 I wake up brush my teeth , wake my little sister up for school make breakfast for my family because I know my mom has a long day ahead of her my mom is a very hard working woman .

Hello WAKE UP I'm 17 born and raised in san Antonio TX. where sometime you only have your dad or you only have your mom or you have both of your parents. well in this situation I only have one parent which is my mom my dad left when I was
I want to thank my mom and dad because they are always there to support me in every decision I make. My mom works so hard to support me and my two siblings since we were little. She sacrifice a lot for us to have a good life and to have a good education. My mom is from the Philippines and went to HongKong to work and fulfill our needs, she sacrifice her life and time for us. When she was offered to work here in Canada she accepted the offer and though of bringing us here, since there are a lot of opportunity for us here.She worked two years in Hongkong and six years in Canada, she's been away for us for eight years she did not mind doing it because she needs to be there for us. She always think of our future and our lives first before her.
