I will pay for the following article Last day at school. The work is to be 4 pages with three to five sources, with in-text citations and a reference page. I gained many friends in these years and they really changed my world. Even the teachers of the school were different in their own way. Somewhere friendly but others grave and did not talk freely with us. It is sometimes hard to imagine that these lovely years of learning has at last come to an end. It is impossible to believe that I need to leave the high school where I met so many wonderful people and friends. I know I have become close with my fellow students and this bond is not easy to forget. It is really difficult to assume what life would have been without these happy high school years. These days I was sometimes joyful and sometimes nervous and also there were days of sorrow. All these emotions took a ride through my years in high school. And the day when I had to bid good bye to my friends, tears rolled out of my eyes. I never realized that I love my school so much .It has given me valuable experience and knowledge and number of friends that I can never forget. It was a memorable days, when I was busy compiling my graduation book with my friends and fellow students. All of us with a mixed feeling of sorrow and anxiety in our mind spend the last days of school in unity. I remember the times when I was busy with compiling the graduation book, the one with all the memories, fun photos and writing jotted down in it. The graduation book is a treasure for me, when I look in to the book I find my friends face glaring at me which give me utter happiness. The day when I was compiling it, I requested my best friend to put his picture on the front page and he sticked a photo in which both of us were holding hands in a sportive manner. He wrote words which displayed his feeling and love for me. I could not look in to his eyes as I could see the tears ready to fall out of his eyes. I did not know to cry or smile and was in a big confusion as to how to express my feelings for my friend at this delicate moment. The second page of the book I dedicated to the sporting days that me and my friend have spend together .The picture of me and him in soccer shorts and dribbling the ball through the foot ball ground and how messy we looked. Those beautiful days are hard to be captured in the space of a book. In that joyous moment I hugged my friend as he meant a lot to me. The main reason for this is that he was with me through all the good and bad times of high school days. He drew a picture of my smiling face with the pen on this page and I knew he always wanted me to laugh and be happy. The other moment was to confront my only friend who was a girl and she was such a lovely person, less could be told about her. She was the one who gave me confidence and hope in times of despair and depression. When I moved to this school, I was all gloomy and disturbed but she came to me as a hope. She consoled me and introduced me to other students proudly and made me converse with my class mates. On this day I expressed to her what she has meant to me. I hugged her and express my gratitude and respect as she was unlike other girls in the class. It was surprising when she wrote that sweet poem in my book which related to friendship and love. There were words from heart and is heart touching every time I read it. The picture taken with me and her on the birthday was the best picture in my graduation book. Her smile was radiant and always gave me positive vibes. I remember the day, when I approached her at home and requested for a picture for my book. And she came with a wrapper of chocolate that I have given her during my school days. She still had it, and she stuck that to my book and I could not ask for more. The wrapper still smelled of chocolate, it had the aroma of friendship and warm feeling she had for me.

Complete 2 pages APA formatted article: Arch Influence. Arch Influence As a female, I have always looked upon the great architects of my time as well as that of the yesteryears. They have given me the muchneeded confidence and encouragement by their sheer presence. This has been the case with me when I look at my uncle Mr. Thomas. He has been working as an architect for the last 40 years and has built a number of unique buildings, passageways, bridges and statues all across the suburbs of the city.

I have gained a lot of encouragement from his works and whenever I have the chance to visit his creations. I make it a point to get myself photographed alongside his creations. This gives me a chance to understand what his work is all about and how he went into the intricacies related with detail of the said monument. Meeting him and having a direct one-on-one conversation is a different experience altogether. He is an institution in his own right and provides so much information and details that no book or periodical in the field of architecture can.

Mr. Thomas has been an ardent supporter in my way to become an architect in the future. Even though there are not many females in this field but his support and positive energies suggest to me that my hard work can pave the way for a better tomorrow and I can also become an architect at the end of the day. I owe a lot of gratitude to Mr. Thomas for his unending motivation and assistance and I can safely predict a fresh architect in the waiting in the times to come, in the form of my individual personality.

Write 4 pages with APA style on Rural Life and Culture.

Write 4 pages with APA style on Rural Life and Culture. When I arrived, I was astonished to see that there were only citrus fruits in the farm. most of them being oranges. Occasionally, a tree of lemon could be spotted. I asked my uncle where the trees of mangoes, strawberries, and bananas were. My uncle told me that mangoes and oranges do not grow in the same season. That was when I learnt that ripening of different kinds of fruits has a strong relation with season. Links to sociological ideas Culture shock I had never been to a rural farm before this occasion. it was my first time that I happened to see a village. I had read about what villages look like in my books. I was expecting vast fields, a lot of plantation, people with cattle and pets, wells, and probably crops also. To a certain extent, I had seen what I had expected with respect to the environment of a village. Nevertheless, I could not avoid a sense of culture shock when I reached the place. As I said before, it was a kind of place that I had never seen before this on any visit with my family, I could sense a considerable difference between the lifestyle of the people in the area surrounding the rural farm and the city where we lived. Elements that were different between people in that area and the area where I lived included race, trade, and lifestyle. I had seen a lot of diversity in terms of race where I lived. There were Latinos, African Americans, Caucasian Americans, Indians, and others in the surroundings of my home as well as in my school, but in this village, there was a majority of Caucasian Americans. People in my neighborhood were employed. they went on jobs everyday whereas in this place, people did work but their works were of a strange kind to me. Rather than leaving for the office every day, people started to gather in the crop-fields and start harvesting the crops. Even my uncle would get up to collect oranges from the farm every morning. He sold those oranges to a man who daily visited him and took the oranges to the city. The air in the area was very clean, fresh, and full of fragrance of the citrus fruits. It was quite unlike the quality of air in the city where we lived. Although the air in the city was not very polluted, yet I never happened to experience the fragrance of the kind that I was experiencing in the farm, at my home. So there were many different aspects between the rural farm and its environment, and the environment of my neighborhood in the city. However, since the farm was so beautiful and I was enjoying for the most part, the culture shock did not affect me negatively. Behavioral norms Study of the behavioral norms is a very important sociological topic that is related to the non-material culture. I noticed a fundamental difference between the general behavior of the people in the city where I lived and in the area of the rural farm. In the city, people remained so busy that they hardly could find time to get together so frequently. Everybody had a defined schedule of the day and any deviation from that would be depressing. I noticed that such a routine had made people, including myself to a considerable extent, stern and unemotional from the inside. People in the area of the rural farm were quite unlike us in terms of behavior and behavioral norms. My uncle had given us such a warm welcome that we felt very happy.

 

Write 8 pages thesis on the topic professional sports teams.

Write 8 pages thesis on the topic professional sports teams. A good example is the US where the National Basketball Association (NBA), Major Baseball League, and the National Football League (NFL) are a major source of attraction and income for the country (Dobson & Goddard, 2011:206). Commercialization of sports follows the principle of economic of profit maximization, and it is with such understanding that economists have taken a keen interest of evaluating sports club and franchises owners’ objective and their influence on regulations and structure of leagues. This paper seeks to analyze the objectives of team owners and the impact they may have on the regulations and structure of professional sports leagues. From an economic standpoint, professional team sports are a form of enterprise, the owners of the teams being the entrepreneurs and the game being the product. The customers are the fans supporting these teams, while the players and the coaching staff are the inputs (Mayhew, 2003:79). Professional players and athletes earn millions of dollars per season, with team prices shooting past 500 million dollars (for Washington Redskins and New York Jets). With such huge figures, professional sports teams have been organized into sealed leagues with the identity and number of competitors being fixed by the league members themselves, thus the influence of the league by the owners of these teams (Masterlexis & Hums, 2011:295). Figure 1: Graph showing one-year change in total value of football clubs in the US (emphasis on New York Jets and Washington Redskins). Retrieved from http://www.data360.org/dsg.aspx?Data_Set_Group_Id=1358 Unlike other contemporary economic sectors principle of monopoly, success of the professional team sports relies on extreme competition between the teams. The more competitive the game, the higher the ticket charges as well as the attendance, resulting to higher profits. The implication of this fact is that teams with consistent unbroken winning streaks become common and boring. This has led to the formation of leagues that manage and organize games with the aim of eliminating unfair competition in the sector (Rodney, 2004:25). These leagues have become so popular, going past the country’s border and spreading over the world. Prime examples include the Premier League in English football, La Liga football league in Spain, Super Bowl baseball league in the US, and NBA basketball league in the US (Kern, 2000:101). These leagues are multi-billion dollars ventures that contribute significantly to the GDP of their respective countries. Players’ drafts, salary caps, roster limit, and player trading restrictions govern the labor market of professional sports. Gate collection sharing, collective sale of television broadcasting rights, and joint merchandising limit economic competition in the product markets. These agreements apply to such leagues like the ice hockey, baseball, basketball, and American football. These agreements are based on the economic principles of profit maximization, which is often the objective of the professional team owners (Melicher, 2011:9). Team owners in Europe and the US have always deferred in objectives, with the paradigm of profit maximization dominating the North and non-profit making objectives, like maintenance of winning streaks, being a more embraced approach in Europe. In the economy of sports, the objectives of team owners, and the controlling leagues is important, considering the monopolistic nature of the league enterprise.
