Art
Taking Risks
Normally, I enjoy new adventures, and some of my friends think I'm a risk-taker. I like adventure sports like rock climbing and snow boarding and I love the feel of adrenalin I get when I experience new things. However, I think the biggest risk I've taken so far in my life is choosing to become an artist. Living by your art is difficult even for the most talented individuals, and I understand that. Yet, I know that the passion I feel for what I do is far outweighed by the risks I face to becoming successful. Creativity is never easy, but creativity lives in some people, and is simply a part of who they are, and who they will always be. Some of the people I admire most in the art world are excellent examples of this, from Steven Spielberg to Pablo Picasso. These are people who simply ooze creativity, and it is difficult to imagine them doing anything else but something in the creative arts. While I'm no Picasso, I feel that way about what I create. I want to learn everything I can to be the best I can, because I simply cannot imagine myself doing anything else.
Some of my friends do not understand my choice of careers. They think to be an artist you have to be gay or something. That is one of the reasons I feel this is a big risk for me. My friends think a career is something where you make a lot of money, and art is just something you might do as a hobby, if you have the time and the interest. At the risk of losing some of my friendships, I've had to stand up to them and tell them that's not always the case. Sure, some artists are gay. Some aren't. Some artists never make a lot of money, some do. I think it is far more important to be happy in what you do, and I'm happiest when I am working on my craft. I don't think some of my friends will end up happy, because they don't know what they really want to do with their lives, and because they are too afraid to take risks. I never want to live my life that way. I want to live my life knowing that I'm doing something that matters, and something I love.
Risk and Insurance Management Risk is believed to be a newly coined word of assurance (for example, Ewald, 1991: 198). One of the broadly shared suppositions regarding insurance is that it spins around an instrumental concept of risk. Possibility and the amount of influence make up a technical concept of hazard/risk and hazard administration is chiefly worried about reviewing these possibilities and influences (for an overview see Gratt, 1987). For instance,
Children need special attention when dealing with traumas they might not fully understand. Thus art therapy has been proven to benefit the increasing number of children dealing with PTSD and other trauma related disorders creating fear and anxiety within the innocent child. Another major benefit of art therapy is that of the informal nature of the expression. Unlike language which is complicated through strict grammatical rules, artistic expression has
Phishing Spear Phishing and Pharming The following is intended to provide a very brief overview of examples of some the most dangerous and pervasive security risks in the online and networked world. One of the most insidious of identity theft is known as phishing. The term 'phishing' refers to the practice of "fishing for information." This term was originally used to describe "phishing" for credit card numbers and other sensitive information
He also asserts that government participation in the arts beyond its role as a consumer can pose significant hindrances to the artistic processes. He claims that politics tends to "seek stability, compromise, and consensus," and as a result avoids supporting art that may "offend majority opinion or go over its head" (38). The market, on the other hand, has "liberated artists…from the potential tyranny of mainstream market taste" (23). Is
God calls everyone to himself so that one can know Him personally and follow him (Niswender, 2012). He calls us for a particular reason and purpose. This vocation or calling has implications on occupation and including our giftedness, our weaknesses, and the way we run our lives in the society. This report endeavors to explain about what I believe is my calling, the lessons I have learned from the course
mounting effort for educators, researchers, and policy makers to fuse seemingly disparate subjects into complementary units of study. Much research reveals positive effects on learning when integrated curricular activities are regularly presented and explored throughout students' educational careers. Educators, administrators, parents, community members, and students themselves applaud such endeavors as they witness firsthand the endless benefits from these research-based revolutionary instructional methodologies. Naturally, art teachers are among the professionals
