I always look forward to Saturdays (because it is the start of my normal three day weekend). I work a four 10 hour days shift, usually Tuesday - Friday so when quitting time rolls around on Friday, I look forward to not being back in the office until Tuesday morning. This particular Saturday was going to be a more fun than most because a good friend of mine, MikeW, that I never get to spend enough time with was coming over at 9:00 AM. We had talked earlier in the week about doing some Jeep wrenching and some computer stuff. When I told him I had gotten my new Throttle Winch Control from Kwan Motorsystems in San Jose, CA., Mike was more than ready to lend a hand. So, I got up early on Saturday, tossed the dogs in the back of the TJ, and headed out to the desert to let them blow off some steam. We got back at about 8:30 AM which gave me enough time to get things set up for Mike's arrival. At 9:00, Mike pulled up in his TJ and we got started on the day's agenda.
You might be wondering just what the heck a Throttle Winch Control (TWC) is suppose to do. It is a dual purpose "black box" controller that functions as a throttle control and also as a winch controller. More correctly said, it is a fully electronic MOSFET controller that interfaces with your factory TJ cruise control switches to do all its cool stuff. The cruise control switches on the left side of the steering wheel, ON/OFF and SET, are used for the winch. ON/OFF becomes Winch Out (easy to remember....Out is an "O" word and goes with On/Off). The SET switch powers the winch in. On the right side of the steering wheel, RESUME/ACCEL increases engine RPM, COAST decreases it, and CANCEL clears any RPM setting and restores the engine to a normal idle. When the TWC is turned on with its power switch, the throttle control mode is available and the winch functions are disabled. To also enable the winch controls, hold the SET button (left hand side of the steering wheel) down while turning on the TWC power switch. The TWC disables the factory cruise control during operation. To enable normal cruise control functionality, turn off the TWC and ignition key. When you start the engine again (with the TWC off), the factory cruise will be fully functional.
With that out of the way, lets get to the installation. Besides, Mike has been waiting now for about 15 minutes for me to get this show on the road!
There is one other thing I should mention. For some
reason, Jeep decided to change some of the wiring harness in the '03 model.
The TWC install directions clearly call out the factory connector numbers and
wire colors for both factory harness setups . What you will see from here
on, in the pics and in my comments, are applicable to my '98 TJ. If
someone wants comments and pics for an '03 TJ, please feel free to contact me
and arrange for delivery of an '03 Jeep. (you won't get it back either)
If you have something newer than an '03, you will need to contact Kwan
Motorsystems for details.
The TWC is pretty much a plug and play controller. It comes with the a generous amount of wire and cable attached to the control box. A plastic bag containing crimp on connectors, fuse, wire, screws, and a switch. The five page owner's manual covers installation and operation of the TWC. The installation directions are detailed and include diagrams to help locate the wire connection points in your TJ and also show the pin diagrams for the factory connectors. I especially appreciated the well drawn block diagram that shows all of the TWC wire colors and their corresponding connection points in the TJ (with factory wire colors). This type of "everything at a glance" gave me a quick overview of what needed to be done without sifting through the written details. Those with an electrical background should know what I mean. That being said, I followed all of the written instructions for wiring up each group of wires to ensure I didn't miss anything (and it serves as a good way to 2nd check yourself when hooking up the wires). I think it is safe to say that no one wishes to mess up a wiring project.
SAFETY FIRST! The installation directions say to disconnect the battery before starting on this project. You will be attaching wires to your winch control solenoids and if your winch is like mine, it is wired straight to the battery. I personally don't want to do any 12 volt welding while I try to attach wires to the winch.
I mounted the TWC box in the vehicle on the driver's side kick panel. The control box is not waterproof. If you think you might be taking yours for a swim (I've seen some of those "stuck" pictures that get posted in the on-line forums), I would suggest contacting Kwan Motorsystems for more information. It would appear that it would be fairly simple to waterproof the control box, but don't take my word on this. Talk with the folks at Kwan and follow their suggestions.
With the control box mounted, I decided to find a suitable location for the power switch. With the help of a rotary cutter (aka., Dremel tool), I cut the requisite rectangular shaped hole for the double pole single throw (DPST) switch. In case you were wondering, the other switch controls the relay for my rock lights.
After the mounting hole for the switch was complete, it was time to start hooking up wires to their various locations. A number of wires are attached in the near vicinity of where I mounted the control box. There is a large group of factory wiring harness connectors up under the driver's side dash area. So that I could see these a little better, I opted to removed the speaker on the driver's side of the dash. While I made no connections via this dash opening, it allowed me to more easily identify the various connectors I would be working with and it allows a little more light to get into that dark area (of course, a trouble light will do that too). The TWC install directions do not suggest you remove the speaker, just in case you were wondering.

Texting while driving is one of the more recent evils. It's a hot topic, with everyone from Oprah to AT&T advocating how horrible it is. Here's a documentary, The Last Text, from AT&T:
I've been suspicious of this communal rage against texting since the beginning. It requires only a little critical thinking. Traffic fatality rates are down dramatically over the last 20 years. In that same time period texting has seen explosive growth. Graph below is from a Virginia Tech study.
If texting while driving is so dangerous, traffic fatalities should have increased. It doesn't add up. The texting and driving deaths graph/chart above should make you think. And it's not just fatalities. The graph shows crash rates.
I watched the above documentary and right away I noticed something. The first girl mentioned in the video was ejected from her vehicle. So was another girl. Having worked as a New York car accident lawyer, I know that's odd. People normally are not ejected from their vehicles in accidents. Unless …
Well, let's take a look at something from the video. Here's a part of the accident report. The white highlighted area is from the video itself. I added the blue arrows.
The highlighted portion is the officer's opinion: "cell phone usage contributed to this accident." What's not highlighted?
That's what the arrows are for. First, the accident occurred at 12:13.
Second, the last text message was received at 12:05.
If the last text message happened eight minutes before the accident, that certainly calls into question whether texting was the real cause. Read the officer's language again: "contributed to this accident." He didn't say "caused". The hard truth is that we simply don't know what caused the accident.
But we do know what killed Ashley Umscheid, and it is a well established cause of traffic fatalities.
She wasn't wearing her seat belt. That's why she was ejected from the vehicle.
Why does the video focus on what might have caused the accident instead of what clearly caused her death?
In the first accident shown, it is mentioned that the girl's face was disfigured from sliding down the roadway. That makes it sound like she was ejected from the vehicle. And indeed at least one story indicates she was "partially ejected."
Notice that the air bags are deployed and the car door is still shut. She was ejected through the window. This generally happens when you're not wearing your seat belt.
We can all agree that it's better for drivers to have their complete attention on the road. Distracted driving is a problem and does cause accidents. But there are all kinds of distractions, including music, food, conversation within the car, or even just random thoughts. In the all-encompassing drive for safety and security, we could ban drive-thru restaurants, car stereos, vanity mirrors, even passengers.
So many of these deaths are caused by head injuries. Perhaps we should all wear helmets in our cars, like race car drivers do. That would save a lot of lives. Should we have a helmet law for car drivers and passengers? We require car seats for children even though they're really no more effective than seat belts.
Benjamin Franklin once said:
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.
Statists use these bogeymen to create more laws, giving the government more power and taking away more of our liberty. I'm not talking about the narrowly framed liberty to text and drive (or drink and drive, speed, wear seat belts, or use the drugs of your choice). I'm talking about the broader liberty to be free from search, seizure and arrest.
Along the way, of course, government wastes our money by spending so much on police, prosecutors, courts and jails, all with little or no effect on our actual safety.
Think back to the founders of our nation. Ask yourself this question – What Would George Do? George Washington, that is.
If George Washington was stopped at a "traffic safety checkpoint", he'd run the constable through with his sword and continue on his way. Maybe that's an exaggeration, but Washington did have a temper. Of course violence against police is not the answer. But we should have policies that focus our police on the things that are important (like violent crime), and do all we can to keep them from harassing people in their everyday lives.
As citizens and voters, we all need to be wary of how statists use these bogeymen to distract us from what's important. That's how they take our liberty away.

Det KAN bli bra-Det SKA bli bra. Två livsberättelser om lärande: It CAN get better-It WILL get better. Two life stories about learning
Sammanfattning: The purpose of this study is to contribute to a deeper understanding about how placement discontinuities of children in foster care affect their learning. The aim is to find out more about their learning and what role school plays in their life. A life-world perspective is used and theories mainly developed by Alfred Schütz (2002) build the theoretical framework. The empirical research is mainly based on narratives of a pair of twins at 19 years of age, who agreed to share their life stories and experiences of their time in school. Meetings were arranged separately with Alex, the boy, and Helena, the girl, both eager to participate. They felt that their stories could contribute to knowledge. The stories show that placement discontinuities in their early childhood made memories and their perspective of time blurry. They both suffered severe neglect in two of their foster care placements. School offered them a safe place throughout their adolescent years. However, despite this, they are critical to the teachers who saw that they suffered neglect at home but never acted upon that knowledge. Hence their first-hand experiences suggest that teachers, considered important in earlier research studies, are not as important as friend made or the daily routines that provide certain security in an otherwise uncertain life. The social services didn't listen or support them. Alex and Helena felt that they had to take care of themselves. Their stories show that both of them are goal-oriented and that they highly value a good education. This is evident since they have always taken responsibility to complete set homework and to make school a functional place where they have also learned to know themselves. Furthermore, it is obvious that the twins have played a tremendous role for each other when their life-world time after time has changed. Alex and Helena's stories and experiences can give the social services a deeper understanding of what lies behind the statistics. A teacher, who listens, shows support and has ambitious expectations regarding the children's academic performance, has been confirmed in previous research to be of significant importance. In addition, the study shows that teachers should learn more about children in foster care. A life-world perspective and life-world theories can contribute to an alternative point of view regarding learning in life-world discontinuities. Learning can be reflected on by using Schütz theory about "strangers" as a way of understanding learning in a wider range, especially when there are discontinues in the life-world. The reflections made in this study point out the possibility that schools, as organizations, seem to have independent cultures that can be transferred between one another. In fact there seems to be certain variables that are the same for schools in general and hence it is of significant value to recognize school as a regional life-world. The expectations of how you act as a student and among friends are important for the sense of belonging. It is possible that Alex and Helena succeeded in school partly because some of the things they learned about the first school could be transferred to their new school. The study contributes with two new concepts; "livsvärldsbrott"- life-world-disruption and "livsvärldsbevarande"- life-world-preservation.

Luis M Cabello, economic and commercial counsellor, Embassy of Peru in India speaks to Steena Joy about the food trade between India and Peru and the opportunities for growth
How has the India Peru food trade evolved over the years?
The commercial exchange of products related to the food and beverage sector between Peru and India has shown an important growth in recent years. A better knowledge of our consumers about what each country has to offer has been an important factor for the diversification of the demand and this is growing. The latter increases the opportunities for many food products of both countries in each market, which will reduce geographical and trade barriers in the years to come, win – win situation due to a future trade agreement between both the economies.
The trends and behaviour of the Indian consumer, mainly of those that conforms to the millennials segment, have opened a great opportunity for new foods in this market, mainly for products with nutraceutical and functional characteristics that contribute to improve the quality of life of the consumers. Within this framework, Peru has launched the brand 'Superfoods Peru' promoting the consumption of Peruvian foods with exceptional nutritional value, such as maca, quinoa, cocoa, asparagus, grapes, avocados, purple corn, among others, some of them already in the India market, while others are expected to be available to the final consumers, very soon.
According to the World Travel Awards, for six years on a road, Peru is the World´s Culinary Destination. Our country imports from India 100 per cent of the cumin seeds consumed by our market and there is a great expectation for another group of spices that is quite unknown in our market. Peruvian gastronomy has always been characterised by merging several styles and cultures. We expect that Indian ingredients as your spices, will contribute to the enrichment of our extraordinary cuisine. In the same way, as rice is part of our daily diet, Indian rice, mainly basmati now allowed to be imported by Peruvians from India, would have an important opportunity in the Peruvian market. We expect that the trade relation of the food industry between Peru and India has a long and promising way to go.
Which are the main Peru food imports into India? Which regions of India are the main markets for Peru products?
Peru is a country specialised in the production of extraordinary quality products of the food industry. Some of these have already been consolidated within the Indian market, while others are on the way to be part of our new projects and finally of the Indian market preferences.
Our products are now in the most important cities in India. Our initial efforts for the positioning of our products in this market, runs toward the segment of consumers who are frequent buyers of organised retail chains located in Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Bengaluru, Kolkata, among others, but, now some of our products are offered in different parts of India, gradually positioning in the preferences of Indian consumers.
To mention some of the main Peruvian foods already in the Indian market, from December to May you can find Peruvian Red Globe grapes that are since some years back, a product of the Indian market preference. We are the second largest exporter of grapes to India, only after the US.
Peruvian quinoa is also another product that could be found in almost all the major cities and markets in India. This amazing Peruvian grain has a superior quality compared with those produced in any other part of the world. This is because Peru is the center of origin of this grain and nature has been responsible of the improvement of the number of varieties that grow in our country, with different sizes, shapes, colours and incredible taste, appreciated by the most important chefs and restaurants worldwide, without the characteristic bitter of those unimproved varieties that are growing in other countries.
We are also supplying cocoa beans to the Indian chocolate industry. According to our perspective and the efforts displayed by our office, we expect also to grow in our exports of this product to India in the short term. The main reason is the increasing of chocolate consumption in India and the sophistication of your consumers, that in the last years are seeking for new alternatives and experiences for their palates. Peru has a wide variety of cocoas due to its extraordinary climate and richness of its soils, internationally recognised for their flavour and aroma. Many chocolates produced in Peru have won international awards.There are many other Peruvian foods that can be found in Indian markets such as fresh asparagus, avocados and maca powder and extraordinary natural energiser.
What are the challenges faced with regard to Indian supply chain logistics and warehousing?
The superior quality of Peruvian Superfoods is one of the competitive advantages that have helped in the positioning of our products in the main markets of the world. It is our objective to introduce and position our superfoods in this market but making them reach the consumer in the best conditions while preserving their freshness and nutritional value.
In this sense, those logistical aspects related to the supply chain and storage are fundamental to guarantee the maintenance of quality of our products in the Indian market. So first of all, we have identified those products that have a long shelf life, analysing their corresponding perishability according to the current regulations of time of life at the moment of being imported, in order to guarantee that these foods can reach the market. In second place, for those perishable products, we have been working together with the largest importers in order to guarantee the corresponding cold storage and rapid distribution of the products in the main retail chains.
Any wishlist from the Government of India?
During 2017 the Departments of Plant Protection, Ministries of Agriculture of India and Peru during bilateral meetings in Delhi and Lima had generated an approach in order to work on improving of import conditions for our products as well as granting market access for fruits, vegetables and grains, establishing of phytosanitary import requirements.
Thanks to this approach, India is looking to get from the Peruvian Government better conditions for the access of basmati rice, grains, as well as mango fruits, grains of amaranth, peanuts, pomegranates and gherkins.
Any other agricultural products Peru plans to export to India?
The launch of the brand 'Superfoods Peru' is a promotional activity which is accompanied by a parallel impulse to achieve access to the Indian market fulfilling the conditions established by the Department of Plant Protection of the Ministry of Agriculture of India. In this regard, we are expecting to finish the process for the corresponding phytosanitary requirements for the entry of our blueberries and tangerines into the Indian market.
In the meanwhile, the Commercial Office of Peru in India will continue executing all our planned promotional activities looking for the increasing of our exports to India of mentioned products such as avocados, grapes, coffee, cocoa, asparagus and Amazonian nuts.

About Us
I'm Christy, and I'm your Vacationista!
Vacations are my business, and have been since for nearly 20 years. I love to travel, and feel so fortunate to have visited amazing destinations all over the world. I've sailed ships large and small, taken trains and buses on through foreign lands, sat with my toes in the sand at some of the most breathtaking beaches in the world, stayed in funky B&B's and 5-star hotels, lost my luggage, sat through flight delays, endured screenings and pat-downs, sat in middle seats... but I love it all! Learning about the world is a passion - I am a researcher at heart, and take great pleasure in helping other people "get there."
I'll never forget my honeymoon - a week in London and a week in Paris. It was so dreamy and romantic... nearly 20 years later it remains my all-time favorite travel experience. Everytime I work with a couple to plan their honeymoon I am reminded of that time. And those memories are a gift. I also remember the stress of planning such a milestone event - no need to stress on honeymoon plans, too!
I love working with multi-generational families on small group trips, reunions and destination weddings. Finding common interests and putting together events and activities that can help groups of all ages come together to create memories...well, I just love that! I've watched my kid experience the world with his aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents, and I enjoy helping my clients do the same.
In my personal life I'm a wife and a mom, and one look at my twitter or instagram feed shows the open book that is my life - my famiily, our son's school activities, my love of live music, trying local wines and craft beers with my husband and friends, Oakland A's baseball, our wacky dogs, and my involvement the community.
Contact me to set up an appointment to discuss your next vacation.

GooglePrint Hack To Read 'Most Of' A Book
This hack of Google Print which is being disseminated around the Web today at the blogospheric velocity allows you to read all (or perhaps all of the significant bits) of books on Google Print. The method seems to be especially effective for reference works.
This would seem to suggest that the market for certain types of books may be adversely affected by Google Print.
As this blogger puts it 'why lug around a 1300-page reference when you can just look it up on Google."

text: TV / VideoNBC Scores With U.S. Olympic Team TrialsWomen's gymnastics ratings up 60 percent versus 2008By Anthony Crupi|July 2, 2012 ShareBy Anthony Crupi|July 2, 2012 Share If the ratings for the U.S. Olympic Team Trials are any indication, NBC is on track to put up some huge deliveries in London. According to Nielsen fast national ratings, NBC on Sunday night drew a crowd with its coverage of the track and field, swimming, and women's gymnastics trials, averaging 7.87 million viewers and a 2.3 rating in the adults 18-to-49 demo. By comparison, runner-up ABC averaged 4.74 million prime-time viewers and a 1.2 in the target demo. The audience grew as the night wore on, with the track and field trials (5.69 million viewers/1.4 rating) setting the table for swimming (7.89 million viewers/2.2 rating). But it was the women's gymnastics trials that really lit up the Nielsen boxes, as Gabby Douglas and Jordyn Wieber established themselves as the heirs to Shawn Johnson and Nastia Liukin. From 9 p.m. to 11:05 p.m. EDT, NBC averaged 10 million viewers and a 3.3 in the demo, marking the most-watched and highest-rated Olympic Trials broadcast since Aug. 20, 2000. What's more, the 18-to-49 rating marked a 65 percent improvement versus the 2008 women's gymnastics trials, which delivered a 2.0. Ratings continued to rise throughout the two-hour program, peaking in the final half-hour with 10.2 million viewers and a 3.4 in the demo. Joining Wieber and Douglas on the U.S. squad are McKayla Maroney, Aly Raisman and Kyla Ross. Three alternates also were named to the team. NBC Sports Group chairman Mark Lazarus last week said the prospect of topping the 2008 Olympics' record deliveries is "an unlikely scenario." And while the Beijing Games were an unqualified blockbuster, averaging 27.7 million viewers over 17 nights of prime-time deliveries, Sunday night's results suggest that London could serve up even bigger numbers. NBC's presentation of the 2012 London Olympics begins July 27. Sharehttp://adweek.it/2k7Rmis copy Adweek Adweek

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Daryll Clark threw three of his four touchdown passes to Graham Zug, helping No. 13 Penn State beat Michigan 35-10 for its first win at the Big House since 1996.
The Nittany Lions (7-1, 3-1 Big Ten) shut down the Wolverines (5-3, 1-3) Saturday after they opened with a 70-yard TD drive.
Clark connected with Zug on the ensuing possession to tie the game. He threw two more TD passes to Zug in the third quarter, giving Penn State a 32-10 lead that it had until taking 10-plus minutes off the clock and kicking a field goal in the fourth.
Michigan struggled to move the ball and had four turnovers.
Tate Forcier was 13 of 30 for 140 yards and an interception. Denard Robinson was 0 for 2 with an interception and fumbled.
Clark was 16 of 27 for 230 yards and tied his record for TD passes. Zug caught five passes for 59 yards and surpassed the total of TD receptions he had previously this season and all of last year.
Evan Royster complemented them with 100 yards rushing on 20 carries.
Michigan, meanwhile, couldn't pass or run effectively against the Nittany Lions and had trouble keeping the football.
Forcier threw a lot of poor passes and when he was on target, his teammates often dropped the ball. Forcier declined comment after the game.
Robinson didn't get much of a chance to show what he could do, but he hurt his opportunity to earn more playing time by turning the ball over twice.
Brandon Minor ran for a 1-yard TD to cap the first drive and finished with just 48 yards rushing on 12 carries and Carlos Brown ran for 35 yards on eight carries.
After the rout was over, the Nittany Lions went to a corner at stadium to celebrate with hundreds of their fans.
Penn State's last win in Ann Arbor was 13 years ago, then it lost nine straight in the series before beating Michigan 46-17 last season at home.
What started off as an interesting game turned into a lopsided matchup.
The Wolverines did whatever they wanted on the opening drive, becoming the first team to score a TD against the Nittany Lions in the first half this season.
Then, Penn State moved the ball at will the first time it had the ball — and on many drives after that. Michigan couldn't keep up offensively and its defense left too many receivers open for Clark to find through the air and failed to stop Royster on the ground.
Penn State went ahead 10-7 on its second drive, got a safety when a shotgun snap sailed past Forcier and through the end zone in the second quarter and took a 12-point lead on Clark's 60-yard pass to tight end Andrew Quarless two plays later.
Michigan kicked a field goal late in the first half and was shut out in the second half, leaving college football's winningest program still one win away from being eligible for a bowl. Michigan lost a school-record nine games last season and didn't earn a postseason bid for the first time in three-plus decades.
Penn State kept its hopes alive to end the season in a marquee bowl.
Clark helps No. 13 Penn State rout Michigan 35-10
ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Daryll Clark threw three of his four touchdown passes to Graham Zug, helping No. 13 Penn State beat Michigan 35-10 for its first win at the Big House since 1996.

While studying at school or university, you will probably face a lot of essay writing assignments. For this reason, essay writing services are becoming more and more popular nowadays.
It is challenging to be good at all types of writing, but that fact should not sway your confidence. EssayPro — top essay writing service will help you become fully versed in the four main types of academic writing, giving you the complete skill set to write any essay!
- 4 General Types Of Essay Writing Styles
- Expository Essay
- Persuasive Essay
- Descriptive Essay
- Narrative Essay
- Linkin Parts Of Essays
The 4 General Types of Essay Writing Styles
Though there is a lot of room for creativity and customization, most written texts follow 1 of 4 pathways. Generally, any other text written in an essay style is some sort of creative writing that has no instructional guidelines. In other words, not all types of essay writing are included in this text. Since we are focusing on academic writing, anything excluded from this group shall not be mentioned. So, maybe you wondering "what are the different types of essay writing?" Well, the 4 types of essay writing are expository, persuasive, descriptive and narrative.
Difference between types of essays is just a matter of understanding what is the author's goal. It can be telling a story about a personal experience, explaining an issue, portraying something, or trying to persuade or convince the reader to accept a certain point of view. The four essay types are:
1. Expository Essays: It's All About Facts
An expository essay is a type of academic writing in which you need to investigate a topic using facts, statistics, and examples. You can accomplish this in several ways: defining a term, comparing and contrasting, analyzing a cause and effect, etc. The purpose is to explain the subject in a logical manner. Provide a fair, balanced analysis without showing personal emotions and relation to the topic.
Tips About Writing an Expository Essay:
- Deals STRICTLY with presenting the facts
- Told in a third person perspective
- Generally has a five-paragraph structure
- Offers a solution to the problem
- Make sure to include your thesis statement in your introductory paragraph. It should be one concise sentence that describe the main idea of the story.
- Every paragraph must cover a point that relates to the thesis
2. Persuasive Essays: Convince Me If You Can
Persuasive Essays do like the name shows; they attempt to persuade an audience into believing that their side of an argument/debate is correct or better. This will require several methods of rhetoric including the use of ethos, pathos, and logos. A student that believes the death penalty should be abolished worldwide would create an argumentative essay in which they state facts and opinions for their reasoning. Persuasive essay writers must understand how to present themselves as credible sources of information, appeal to emotion, and logically reason with their audience.
Unique Characteristic of the Persuasive Essay:
- Presented in a debate format
- Can be told in first or third person
- Holds either a 4 or 5 paragraph structure.
- Uses opinions as points in an argument.
- Usually compares and contrasts
- Find relevant sources to defend their argument
- Find the most credible evidence for the opposing view
3. Descriptive Essays: Make A Picture
Descriptive Essays train a writer to describe some kind of imagery. By using the 5 senses of taste, sound, sight, touch, and smell, the writer needs to paint the clearest picture possible. Doing this helps the reader get the most realistic visualization. A common example of a descriptive essay is actually used in types of college essay writing. When submitting in a college admission application, there is a question that requires the writer to describe himself. Learning to sell something (even yourself) using vivid language and intriguing points will help you master the descriptive essay.
Unique Characteristic of the Descriptive Essay:
- Requires creative writing and descriptive skills.
- Can be told in first, second, or third person.
- Usually written in 3-5 paragraphs
- Provides details using the 5 senses
- Aims to creatively define some object or idea
4. Narrative Essays: Tell a Story
Narrative Essays are used to tell a story. This type of writing takes a different road from the usual "research and analysis" style. This type of writing essay allows one to become creative. They can come up with their own plot, setting, characters, ideas, etc. The purpose of a narrative essay is to teach a lesson through the progression of the story. As a reader, one would want to feel a sense of purpose in reading the text, and that is the ultimate goal of the writer. Most books and tales are examples of narrative writing.
Unique Characteristic of the Narrative Essay:
- Tells a story with a purpose
- Normally told in the first person but can be in third
- Can be written in 3 paragraphs or the size of a book
- Uses figurative language and lots of quotes
- Keeps things in a time linear progression
- Add dialogue between characters to add life to the essay
Though all essay types follow the same core principles, there are aspects that make them stand out from each other. After all, expository essays offer factual information, persuasive essays aim to influence, descriptive essays paint a picture, and narrative essays tell a story. These in their own right follow 4 different roads.You can easily learn how to distinguish these types of papers with the help of our essay samples
Linking Parts of Essays
Though there are different types of essays and examples, all writing styles share some common goals. First of all, the actual parts of an essay stay the same, regardless of the style. Each essay carries with it an introduction, a body, and conclusion, these are the common parts of the outline. Although the content that is placed into those parts varies with the style, their overall purpose is static.
- The introduction is used to open up the topic and briefly introduce key points that will be presented later.
- Any relevant background information is presented here.
- The thesis statement is revealed at the end of the intro and reveals the overall position of the essay.
Body Paragraph(s)
- The body of an essay is the meat grinder; all the action happens here, and any points that need to be proved or explained occur in this section.
- The thesis statement is thoroughly uncovered and explained
- Each paragraph within the overall body serves its own purpose. The main goal of the text is broken down into parts, and each paragraph goes through one of those parts.
- The conclusion recaps main points and restates thesis statements, effectively presenting it as proven.
- The writing is given significance, usually done with a call to action or an overall concluding statement.
When it comes to grading, and overall strength of the text, college professors, and high school teachers focus on a few elements:
- Was the grammar meticulously constructed? How smoothly did the text flow?
- Did the vocabulary offer significant flavor or was it just thrown in there for word appeal. Did the content make sense?
- How well did they answer the question / express the idea?
- Did they stay focused on this specific idea or did their train of thought wander?
When a writer has sufficiently presented points 1,2 and 3, that's when they can be confident that the writing was strong. Being able to maintain all three parts and provide insightful content that generates reader's interest is what makes for quality writing.

Climate Leaders
Climate Leaders is a joint EPA-industry programme for reducing corporate impact on the environment. Climate Leaders helps companies to calculate corporate-wide greenhouse gas emissions inventories, set reduction targets, and establish a transparent and credible record of their impacts and accomplishments through annual reporting to the EPA.
Associated with the Climate Leaders initiative are a number of technical guidance documents which outline calculation methodologies and provide data for calculating greenhouse gas emissions from a variety of sources. These cover stationary and mobile fuel combustion, electricity, refrigeration and air conditioning, as well as several industry specific methodologies such as those for the iron and steel industry. For some important industrial cases where specific methodologies are not provided, Climate Leaders recommends methodologies published by the Greenhouse Gas Protocol and their partners in industry (e.g. aluminium, cement, paper).
