The Advantages of Learning English at New york University NYU - SPSThe English language is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world, second only to Mandarin. That English is used almost everywhere is just one of the many advantages of learning the English language.
The English language is the primary language of business throughout the world. Most international business transactions, including emails, memos, reports and contracts are written in the English language.
Employment Opportunities
Having the ability to fluently speak the English language as well as one's native language can be very beneficial to those seeking job opportunities with international companies. The ability to speak a language that is spoken by most business people can place the job seeker a step ahead of the competition.
Major Hollywood movies have dialogue that is spoken in the English language. The plot of these movies is easier to follow if the person watching the movie speaks English. Subtitles in other languages can sometimes cause the meanings of words to be lost in the translation, and they can be a distraction or even block the action that is taking place on the screen.
Since the English language is one that is predominantly spoken throughout the world, international travelers may find that speaking English can make their travels a little easier. Most hotel and restaurant employees, as well as store merchants, will probably speak English at least to some degree.
Students from other countries who attend school in the United States will benefit greatly if they can know basic English. This knowledge will help them communicate better with both their students and teachers. The students will also have an easier time with any research or readings that they are assigned.
The English language is the predominant language of academics all over the world, with a large amount of research conducted, written and presented in English. The English language can be a very helpful tool for scholars to communicate their ideas and research findings with peers in their field.
Most software programs are written in the English language. For those who are seeking to expand their computer knowledge, having the ability to read and understand the English language can be invaluable.

My mom is totaly against my weightloss. I am able to make breakfast and dinner for myself, but I have to have lunch with my family. How can i still eat clean. I already talked to my mom about it but she is still against it.
I'm assuming that, you've already expressed your dissatisfaction and distaste for the lunches she prepares and you've kind of been butting heads on this. It's important to take a stand for yourself, your goals, and your choices, but to do so in a non-threatening way. Usually this is most effectively done by asking a question. If I were you, I would pick a time when tension is low and emotions aren't running high and ask, "Mom, can I ask why you would want me to eat food that I do not enjoy and that doesn't work for me?"Phrasing the question this way does two important things:1. It puts your mom in a position to explain why she forces this food on you. 2. You are not judging the food that she is serving, only stating that it doesn't work for you.There is very likely some deeper reason your mom has the attitude she does regarding the lunches. Whatever the reasons she insists on a family lunch that is exactly what she serves has nothing to do with the food directly as much as it does her emotional connection and need that is filled by that experience in that way.Knowing your mom and her family history and food history, is there some other way you can potentially propose to fill this emotional desire/need for her that will not derail your efforts to eat healthfully?Also, one thing people who are uninterested in changing unhealthy eating habits often cannot stand is to be in the presence of someone else who is making the choices that, deep down, they know they should also be making for themselves. Even if you aren't saying anything negative about the food she serves (and if you are, stop immediately), the fact that you are demonstrating more appropriate behavior and healthful choices around food highlights the fact she is NOT making those choices. And often people will lash out at whoever is exhibiting the wiser behavior since it prevents them from enjoying the social approval of others. This also happens a lot when one person decides not to drink in a group that is drinking a lot. It could be that your mom is simply seeking connection time, and if you agree to join the family and enjoy the fellowship and eat none of what is served, she may come around. She ultimately will be more inclined to go along with your wishes, or at least meet you halfway, if she feels that you are respecting her choices (even if you don't respect them, she just needs to feel that you do.)Your health is important, but so is the health of your connections to your loved ones. It is a delicate balance sometimes, but if you show her emotional needs some respect while not allowing that to derail your physical ones, you can walk that tightrope successfully.I wish you well.

SURROUNDED by maize, youngsters on a day out explored Millets Farm Centre's summer attraction.
More than 200 people turned up for the opening day of the Maize Maze at the Frilford farm on Saturday.
Didcot sisters Jevon, nine, Morgan, 11, and Taylor Brown, 13, had fun running around the annual favourite. Their mum Jodie, 33, said the family from Churchill Close had a good day out despite the maze not being as tall as usual because of the weather.
She said: "It's normally quite tall and they get lost in there. We will definitely go back towards the end of the season. We have been there quite often because you can take a picnic and spend a day there."
Taylor added: "It was lovely weather so that added to the whole day."
The centre postponed the opening for two weeks because of slow growth caused by poor weather. Farm events manager Helen Bloomfield said the maize was expected to shoot up as the hot weather continued.
She said: "In the last 10 days it's grown over a foot because of hot weather."

New Website Connects Consumers, Designers and Builders
In just a brief time, Cadreas has compiled and organized more than 10,000 images as an aggregation resource for common CE pro project partners.
A new photo-oriented online community for the design and building communities called Cadreas.com has launched and already has more than 10,000 images in its first four months.
The site aims to build a better solution for consumers to connect with the design and construction communities (residential, commercial and institutional), which are very fragmented and siloed into their specialty niches.
So, Cadreas has built a gateway for the design and construction communities using a large library of images.
Among the ways integrators can have their installations showcased on the website is via CE Pro's sister publication, Electronic House, which is sharing many of its installations with the new website. If you are interested in having your jobs showcased on Electronichouse.com, contact editor Grant Clauser at [email protected].
"As soon as Cadreas went live, we surpassed 10,000 images in less than three months," says Robert Frumkin, CEO Cadreas. "It is very gratifying to see groups like the Pacific Coast Builders Conference and other associations joining Cadreas and posting their images with links to their members."
The Cadreas DesignGuide allows consumers to create a collection of photos, make notes about the projects, and research the companies and products involved in those projects. This process allows someone to see construction options, resources and products and then decide how to use them on their project.
The website describes itself as an exhaustive project resource to users: "Cadreas aggregates and organizes critical content from and for ALL construction project participants: manufacturers; distributors; retailers; design companies; build companies; property owners; property managers; developers; trade, green and award associations; municipalities; utilities; and service providers such as banks, insurance companies, appraisers, inspectors, etc."
Users can search the photo galleries via several category filters, including project category, project type, space, view, style and image type.
"Space," for example, lets you drill down to browse images for all manners of rooms and areas—from media rooms, kitchens to bonus rooms.
"Project type" incorporates broader project targets, like custom home, office or night club. Meanwhile, "Image Type" expands the image galleries to include models, renderings, plansor sketches in the search.
Considering one of the portfolios is called the "Inspiration Gallery," it sounds like the perfect destination for integrators to reach out and inspire their potential project partners and clients.

Los Angeles city and police officials are expected to announce a reward next week for information leading to an arrest in connection with the mysterious murder of an elderly man in his Encino mansion.
Eighty-year-old investment banker Harvey Cohen was found by his wife in the early-morning hours of Sept. 19, lying on the floor of their kitchen at the home in the 5300 block of Andasol Avenue.
Investigators said she initially reported a medical emergency in a 911 call, but when paramedics arrived, they discovered Cohen had been shot in the abdomen. He was transported to a local hospital just before 3 a.m., where he later died.
A 45-caliber shell casing was found at the scene, but no weapon was recovered.
Cohen's wife was asleep at the time of the attack, and police said she woke up when she heard a commotion but did not witness the altercation and could not offer any details on what may have happened. Detectives said they do not know if the suspect or suspects knew Cohen personally or if he may have interrupted a robbery, as initially believed.
"We're still investigating, and we're not discounting anybody," said Det. Frank Carrillo with LAPD Robbery-Homicide Division, which is handling the case. "We have multiple parts going now, and we're still investigating leads as we get them. We're hoping this reward will help anyone with information come forward."
Carrillo declined to give specifics on the ongoing investigation, but said the suspect or suspects should be considered armed and dangerous.
"I think everybody should be concerned," he said. "It certainly causes concern to the community when somebody enters a home who is not supposed to be there — hence the reward."
Anyone with information is asked to call Det. Carrillo or Det. King at 213-486-6890. Anonymous tips can be made by calling Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477.

On our tour of the MIRC communities, we visited Morris and got a fun opportunity to learn about their mobile computer lab, their wireless network and their efforts to make computer available in all sort of places – such as the schools and the libraries – but also the American Legion.
It was fun to hear from the Mayor Sheldon Giesse of Morris, a veteran, about the computers in the American Legion. He talks about how now that a computer is available in the American Legion that folks are using it. Any of us who have a smartphone will recognize the signs. Someone asks a question – such as who won the 1992 World Series – and now the answer is at your fingertips.
One of the added benefits is that it is expected that access to computers will help the American Legion reach out to returning vets, who tend to be younger than the current members.

Kanye West has shared some pretty seductive photos of himself with girlfriend Kim Kardashian getting close with his Twitter followers.
The three pics were posed on his Twitter account today with no explanation. Clearly the 'Gold Digger' star is eager to show off his love, who looks incredibly sexy in a tight leather dress and smoky eye-makeup.
The shots show the couple standing close together and starring moodily at the camera, with the scene looking more like a perfume ad than a shot you take messing round with your girlfriend.
Kim's edgier look is said to be down to the rapper turned fashion designer who thinks she should "evolve as a fashion icon".
An insider told The Sun: "Kanye has been having chats with Kim about her style.
"He thinks she should be more like him, edgy with her choices. He keeps saying she should 'evolve' as a fashion icon.
"Kanye says she plays it safe too much so has been trying to pick outfits for her to wear and encourage her to be more daring." They added.
Whatever Kanye is doing we reckon he should keep it up because Kim has never looked happier or hotter!

Lower lid issues post bleparoplasty needs plenty of time to accurately evaluate and treat. Your description does not include the time frame after surgery. Edema (swelling) can take one to two years to totally dissipate. The eyelid position also may change with time.
Please consult your surgeon or get a second opinion if you are not comfortable with the answer.

The City Club of San Francisco offers ten unique event rooms on four floors with awe-inspiring architectural details and original artwork. Even the bronze-framed elevator doors are exquisite.
Guests entering on the tenth floor will find a grand staircase leading to the eleventh floor. Gracing the stairwell is the famous Diego Rivera fresco, Allegory of California. If you are planning a larger event, the tenth and eleventh floors may be reserved separately or together based on your event needs.
On the twelfth floor is our beautifully renovated penthouse. Opened in the fall of 2012, this stunning event space features extraordinary views and a décor that reflects the building's history.
Located on the eleventh floor of The City Club, our dramatic Main Dining Room is an exceptional choice for both social occasions and business functions. The walls are paneled in clear-lacquered ash while the tall windows overlooking the city are trimmed in pear wood and ebony. Four paintings by Robert Boardman Howard represent the gathering, preparing, serving and consuming of food and drink. The high point of the Main Dining Room is the fireplace of Belgian blue marble and St. Genevieve golden vein marble. Rising to the brass-leaf ceiling is a bas-relief wall sculpture of cast bronze finished in gunmetal plate that depicts the 12 signs of the zodiac.
Photo gallery:
220 guests seated; 300 standing reception. Wi-Fi access available.
Grand yet welcoming, The City Club Café offers ample space for sizeable gatherings. This beautifully appointed space on the tenth floor features a massive 1930s-era library table of black marble and brass, custom-designed lounge pieces and brass benches, and cocktail tables of black Bakelite and chrome. The cathedral ceiling is made of light gold leaf and green gold leaf. Above the fireplace, which features laminated sections of California travertine, is a Ralph Stackpole sculpture. Carved in place from Jeanne Dare stone, the piece shows an archer surrounded by figures of animals, designed to represent the moods of man.
Photo gallery:
220 guests seated; 300 standing reception. Wi-Fi access available.
This addition to The City Club was unveiled in the spring of 2012. Located on the ninth floor, this light-filled, open space was carefully constructed to reflect the art deco details of the tenth and eleventh floors. In addition to views of the city, The Grand Salon features metal ceiling tiles accented by polished silver leaf beams. The highlight of the room is the collection of 1930s-era glass panels from Paris in nature-inspired shades of greens, yellows and browns. With Wi-Fi access, a built-in sound system and a projector and projection screen, The Grand Salon is ideally suited for business and social events requiring advanced audio-visual capabilities.
Photo gallery:
130 guests seated; 150 standing reception. Wi-Fi access available.
Adjoining The Grand Salon on the ninth floor, The Library Room creates a gracious atmosphere for business meetings and cozy celebrations. Natural light sets off the sage-green walls, wood-paneled ceilings and art deco chandeliers. True to its name, the room features library-style shelves filled with leather-bound books.
Photo gallery:
80 guests seated; 100 standing reception. Wi-Fi access available.
Perfect for small gatherings, luncheons and dinner parties, The Wine Cellar—which was originally named The Grille Room and served as a bar during Prohibition—reflects the style of an English pub. This tenth-floor room features wood paneling with a unique keg-of-ale design, built-in bar, windows with hunting scenes painted by Otis Oldfield to simulate stained glass and English slate flooring.
Photo gallery:
18 guests seated; 25 standing reception. Wi-Fi access available.
This sophisticated space is named in honor of Timothy Pflueger, the visionary architect behind the Stock Exchange Tower. Located on the ninth floor, the wood-paneled Pflueger Room offers a comfortable yet elegant setting for meetings and cozy celebrations.
12 guests seated. Wi-Fi access available.
The Deco Penthouse
A grand marble hallway leads guests to this lavishly appointed space overlooking the city.

A pair of custom-made stained-glass doors opens into the Deco Parlor.
Photo gallery:
80 guests seated; 120 standing reception. Wi-Fi access available.
The Deco Parlor
Separated from The Deco Penthouse by double, stained-glass doors, The Deco Parlor is ideal for special gatherings and business meetings.

Walnut flooring and velvet drapes further enhance the room's beauty.
Photo gallery:
40 guests seated; 60 standing reception. Wi-Fi access available.

Clinicians who stay at their sites longer may be eligible to apply for additional years of support.
Is the GRE required?
No, the GRE is not required.
When are classes held?
Almost all Counseling Department courses are held in the late afternoon or evenings on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. Most of the 3-unit courses are held one evening a week, at the 4:15-7:00 pm time slot or at the 7:15-10:00 pm time slot. A few courses, such as COUN 520 and 521, are held on Saturdays. During the January and Summer Terms, class times vary, depending on the number of units. Almost all classes are held after 4 pm on weeknights and/or on Saturdays.
Where are classes held?
All Counseling Department class sessions are held at the Saint Mary's College campus in Moraga. We do not have any online courses or satellite locations.
May I attend the program full-time or part-time?
Students may enroll full- or part-time and can complete the Master of Arts in Counseling in the General, Career Counseling, or College Student Services specializations in a minimum of two years if they attend full-time. For the MFT/PCC, the CSS/PCC, or the School Counseling specializations, allowing three years for completion is advised. The School Psychology specialization requires three years, full-time.
Is it feasible to work full-time and go to school full-time?
Many of our students work, either full-time or part-time. We will help you design a Plan of Study that takes into account how much you work, as well as other personal and family responsibilities and activities. We do not recommend that students who work full-time also go to school full-time.

Hi all I want to sugest to add a session in Pl/pgSQL documentation: a "command reference" like the SQL commands reference with brief description of the sintax and a link to the proper location in atual document section for a detailed behavior. It's because sometimes are hard to find the desired information in the doc and seems to be more natural see what commands are avaiable to reseach when we are working over a program and we have doubts about what to use. Thanks in advance Luiz Matsumura

I don't want to quote fantasyfan's and Hamlet's long and cogent posts, but I appreciate the input on the minds of boys.
I'm still considering the devices used by Mitchell to tell the story. I continue to like the inconsistent voice (it occurs to me I don't want to hear unadulterated 13-year old) and I'm going back and forth on the amount of incident and contrivance and I can make a better case for it even if it irked at times. I think it contributes to a surreal quality that actually does work for me and ties in to the adult voice. Memory is imperfect and creative and the events described might result from that or at least be enhanced. A severed leg flying through the air, being trapped in a cottage with a witchy woman who's had a stroke, literally falling into a gypsy camp.... Less and less am I likely to take everything that happened as actual reportage and that's fine. I'll also note my directly opposite take to Hamlet's on the move at the end of the book; I saw it as meaning he was going to have it all to do again and he saw it as the deus ex machina that would save Jason from the consequences. I think both can be true.

One of the best things that can be said about the Loser is he's not cheap. Unlike most Ordinary Joes who can afford only one camera, the Loser works with at least three, maybe four. So he's a well-financed loser. Good thing, too, because among our video editor's notes regarding the raw footage of this video included these gems: "Blow job. We don't see much at first as he is soft." "Blow job. All we get to see is her back." "Cum shot on the face but he blocks most of the shot. We only see her chin being cum on." So, quantity makes up for lack of quality, and when you add it all up, the Loser's videos are jackable. Especially when the babe being fucked is Adriana, a tiny blonde (just 98 pounds) from Phoenix, Arizona. In all fairness, the Loser does some good things in this scene, like keeping the camera steady during the pre-fuck interview (something he almost never does) and giving us some nice looks at her fine ass clad in tight jeans.
But losers will be losers, and the Loser is a loser. A smooth talker he's not. The guy seems to have no idea what to ask Adriana during the interview, stumbling over his words. Then, when she's chowing down on his hard-on, what happens? Dogs start barking in the background. And what the hell is he trying to shoot when she's riding him reverse-cowgirl and he has the camera high up in the air, pointed down?
There are plenty of good moments, though, most of them provided by sexy, slutty Adriana who moans, "Oh, baby, it feels so good. Fuck me! Fuck me!" as her tight little pussy gets plowed. A compliment for the Loser? Or is Adriana simply being nice?
