and this is the article we studied. This is little bit long but, Please don't push the back button on the keyboard.
I'm not asking you to TRANSLATE this into Korean or something like that.

Just read this casualy and then, anwer my question below.^^;

Games Countries Play

If the 1960 Rome Olympics didn't change the world, it did reveal a changed one. Beijing is next.

By Andrew Bast | NEWSWEEK
Published Jul 26, 2008

On the final evening of the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome, a little-known Ethiopian stepped to the starting line of the marathon, barefoot. He raced in the shadows of ancient ruins, including the Axum Obelisk, which Mussolini's Army had looted from his country more than two decades earlier. "In bare feet, dark red trunks, bright green shirt, the two vertical lines of No. 11 defining his narrow, bony backâthat was Abebe Bikila," writes David Maraniss in his fact-packed new book, "Rome 1960: The Olympics That Changed the World" (Simon & Schuster. 496 pp.). Bikila set a world best of 2:15:16 and became the first black African to win a gold medal.

Since the modern Olympics began in 1896 in Athens, the international Games have regularly made historyâand not always for what happened on the track or playing fields. In 1936, Nazis shrouded the games in swastikas despite prohibitions of propaganda in the Olympic Charter. Massive social protests in Mexico City in 1968 culminated in the Tlatelolco massacre. And in the second week of the 1972 Games in Munich, the radical group Black September took Israeli athletes hostage, prompting a standoff that ended with 17 dead. As for Rome, Maraniss makes his case in the subtitle: the 1960 Games "changed the world."

That may be pushing it, but they certainly reflected the dramatic ways the world was changing. The 1960 Olympics were the first ever to be televised. Light heavyweight Cassius Clayâyears before he would become Muhammad Aliâwon boxing gold for the United States. Rome's Games were also corrupted by the first doping scandal. On a sweltering Friday, Danish cyclist Knud Enemark Jensen dropped dead. It wasn't the heat, though; before the race, his trainer had given him Roniacol, a drug designed to increase blood circulation. An uproar ensued. Consequently, Maraniss writes, "imperfect and controversial as it was, a system evolved over the decades for testing Olympic athletes for banned substances."

The Games also magnified a charged geopolitical moment. Bikila's barefoot marathon victory (his new shoes, bought in Rome, apparently hurt his feet) came at an unprecedented time for Africa. Decolonization was giving rise to a crop of new states. "The world order was transmuting, with nations being born, regressing, progressingâand out of all that an unprecedented eighty-three National Olympic Committees were sending a record total of 5,338 athletes to Rome," Maraniss writes. The cold war had filled the city with spies, and the Games served as a constant showdown between the United States and the Soviet Union. Mao Zedong's People's Republic of China withdrew from the Games entirely after a long and arduous political row with the IOC.

A Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter for The Washington Post, Maraniss writes in great detail, chronicling the 18 days of the Games. While at first it may seem gratuitous to go so far as to review the passenger manifest for each planeload of American athletes departing New York, the work pays off when he writes that Clay's "fear of flying was so strong that it took the persuasion of all his teammates to get him to board the plane."

Maraniss's previous sports books have centered on personalities like baseball player Roberto Clemente and American football legend Vince Lombardi. But with the Beijing Games looming, his account of the 1960 Olympics seems especially apt. In Rome, CBS was the first network to televise the Games, broadcasting 20 hours over two weeks. NBC promises this summer's will be the biggest broadcasting event in history, with 3,600 hours of coverage. Reading Maraniss's vivid history makes clear that the tectonic shifts underway todayâChina's growing global power, America's lagging leadership and the spreading economic recession around the globeâwon't be transformed as much as elucidated by the acts of human greatness on display. Rome welcomed the athletes of several new nations; in Beijing it may well be their time to shine.

You read it all? Okay. then,

1. the first underlined sentence. What does the author of this article mean by that?
We thought it would be "Beijing will also reveal a changed world." <- was that right?
In that case, What MEANING this CHANGE word has? Does it mean that the world is still under changing? or, This CHANGE is done. So, there will be no more change in this tubulent world situation.
I mean that Rome Olympics revealed a changed world. So, it became better than it's previous condition. So, there is no need to change. ???? WhaTTTTTT???

2. the first paragraph is introduction. He mentioned about the 1960 Rome Olympics, and it's historical value of the Olympics.(Sorry, My enlish is too short to express clearly what I want to say.^^ anyway, the questins will be continue.....) and the second to the fifth paragraph he told us the detail of that the1960 Rome olympics. and finally!!!! last paragraph, that REDDDDD AND BLUE ONE. ã .ã . OKAY. This is the critical questions that I wanted to know deadly.

He, Mr. Bast, continually refer Maraniss's book and His opinion about connection between Rome and Beijing Olympics. So, (We almost finished just hang on second, My teacher!) that RED UNDERLINED sentence.

Could it's original meaning be this? :
"the tectonic shifts will not be transromed by the acts of human greatness on display AND!!!
the tectonic shifts will not elucidated by the acts of human greatness on disply."

or "the tectonic shifts will not be transformed by the acts of human greatness on display AS MUCH AS
they(the tectonic shifts) are elucidated by the acts of human greatness on disply."

I konw that even this posting has countless mistakes and not easy to read but also I know that YOU can understand what I want to know. (well... I hope so.)
well, that's that. Please somebody there, help me~~!!

letter of increment

lordlynjoytabalus — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 07:34:01 GMT

hi,

im trying to write an increment letter for my boss.

here is my draft

With due respect, I would like to bring to your attention about my salary increment.

In our interview three months ago, I was told that I would receive a salary increase of AED 200 after my six-month probation period. However, I would like to request if you could decrease my probation period into three months and after that I would receive my salary increment.

I would be very grateful if you could look into the matter.

Revise Sponsorship letter

Anonymous — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 17:57:02 GMT

Hey Everybody,

I just joined your community but have used it several times to answer my writing questions. It is a great source! Everyboy is very knowledgeable and helpful. I wanted to see if anybody could look over my letter and revise it for me. It is a sponsorship letter asking for contributions to fund my non profit organization. I was unsure how to deliver a letter that asks for money so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Also what type of closing lines should I use?

Hello! My name is Charla Wacker and I have been appointed as the very first Miss Rodeo Virginia. I have also been afforded the opportunity to compete for Miss Rodeo America 2009. The Miss Rodeo America pageant is held at the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, Nevada. This competition exists for the purpose of selecting a young lady to serve as an official spokesperson for the sport of professional rodeo, educating the public and creating awareness about the sport, its sponsors and its opportunities.

Embracing the western tradition in Virginia, I live and work on a working horse ranch. For me, rodeo is not only a passion but a lifestyle. Our family ranch focuses on team roping, raising cattle dogs, and working cows through the use of our ranch horses. I work hard riding and training my string of horses and maintaining the ranch. All the while, cooking the family meals, cleaning, and helping with household chores. To me, it is all in a dayâs work. In addition, I am a four year varsity college athlete. I earned scholarships every year both academically and physically playing softball for the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. There, I earned a Bachelorâs degree in Biology, focusing on the agriculture preservation. I greatly enjoy a challenge, and anything I do is approached with vigor, determination, I will not stop until the job is done right.

As I approach this next phase in my life, representing Virginia in the Miss Rodeo America Pageant 2009, I look to give all that I have to the competition. This endeavor would not be possible without the gracious financial support from our sponsors. Sponsors of this non-profit organization help maintain the business operation, produce the state pageant each year and support the activities of Miss Rodeo Virginia. By sponsoring me for the 2009 year, you will be contributing to bringing some east coast prestige to Miss Rodeo America. . There are very few east coast competitors and I want to take Vegas by storm. Your tax deductible contribution will not only be greatly appreciated but will also enable me to represent Virginia as the stateâs first Lady of Rodeo. Please note, that your sponsorship will also earn you acclaim in the sport of professional rodeo and our western heritage. It is not about the size of the contribution; it is about relishing in the opportunity to garner new experiences and being apart of what will become a predominant Virginia tradition.

Thanks for the help!!

Hi everybody!

Iâm writing my part of the marketing report for our foreign colleagues. Could you, please, check my grammar and vocabulary in the following sentences? I appreciate your help

Macroeconomic environment of the project

Inflation and currency corrections

According to the monetary policy priorities for 2006-2008, approved by the resolution no 20 dated November 11, 2006 of the Board of the National Bank of Republic of Kazakhstan, two inflation scenarios for tenge have been developed subject to global oil prices that significantly influence the inflation tendencies in Kazakhstan.
In 2006, the scenario on high oil prices was unfolding. The Brent crude oil prices averaged $65.4 a barrel in 2006 and they continue to rule high in 2007, rising up to $75 a barrel. With all the measures taken to maintain price stability, the average inflation rate was 8.6% in 2006, which was slightly higher than expected rate of inflation under the scenario on high oil prices (6.9-8.5%). According to official data of the Kazakhstan Statistics Agency, annualized inflation rate as of June, 2007 was at 8.1%.

Thanks in advance

Business English- ideas for a class

linguaprof — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 14:00:30 GMT

I think Business English teachers should be familiarized with marketing terminology/problems. You must feel/ appear professional if you teach BE to a manager!

An idea for a class on a Business English class on advertising (pre-intermediate and upper):

Presentation:
Let's talk about "brand loyalty".
The level of consumers' attitude differ. The stages of "brand loyalty" are:

1.No brand loyalty.
2.Customer is satisfied. No reason to change the brand.
3. Customer is satisfied and would incur costs by changing brand.
4. Customer sees the brand as a friend.
5. Customer is devoted to the brand.

Language production:
You can ask your student: How many of your clients are on the 5th level? And how many on the first?
You can ask your student to present the change in the number of customers (the 5 types) of a company, in the last 5 years. (e.g. In 2003 there were no customers devoted to the brand but about 10% of all saw the brand as a friend. About 25%...

You can discuss then about how "loyal"you and your students are to some brands- you can use company websites, of course, if you have internet connection, or pictures of products.

N-joy the class!

Hi everyone,

I'm writing a motivation letter but don't seem to get it right or don't know :( could you please correct this one and give me ideas and feedback about what i should write in? The reason i want to leave my current job is there is no career development for me there and i don't want to loose my skills with no development. same time i don't know how to put that down in the motivation letter

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing in regards to â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦position offered at your â¦â¦â¦â¦. I am a candidate worthy of consideration. I have an excellent engineering education. I have been on diverse engineering and IT courses that broaden my technical background in a number of fields. I have a track record that clearly demonstrates my qualifications. You will certainly find this clear from my application.

I have the traits required to be a successful ..(consultant or manager depend on job). I can bring along managerial experience from the time I owned my business. I can also bring technical expertise, initiative, hard working, team player, creative but realism thinking, methodological problem solving skills and above all can establish and maintain excellent client relationship.

I am not just looking for a job; I am looking for a company where I can flourish. A continuous mental challenge is a must to stretch my abilities and drives me to thrive. I have the attitude of âdo what it takesâ. I am looking for a place where career development is well defined. I believe that your company rewards these traits and values.

I would like to thank you in advance for your time and any consideration you may give me. I look forward to hearing from you.

What is meant by theoretical relevance?

Anonymous — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 23:01:39 GMT

Hi, I must write an assignment in my finance course. Now I am wondering what is meant by "theoretical relevance"? One topic is the Principal-Agent Problem.

Here is the task:

Make a list of the five most important topics you have learned in this course. These could be new concepts, theoretical insights, practical applications or otherwise. For each item (5 topics) on your list discuss each of the following points:

1. Topic description
2. Theoretical relevance
3. Which tasks in the course deal with the topic. What problem statement can you distil from these tasks?
4. Which part of the literature is relevant for this topic? Include a short summary of the literature on this topic
5. + Very important!
For each topic find a related real-life example to highlight the issue that took place during 2008. For instance, use a newspaper article to discuss the practical relevance of the theoretical topic you described before. Make sure you attach a hardcopy of the event (newspaper article etc.) to your assignment.

So far I have written:

a) Topic description:

The Agency Problem refers to a conflict of interest arising between shareholders (principals) and management (agents) because of different goals of each party. Due to the separation of ownership and control in a corporation, agents have little incentive to work in the interest of the principals if it is against their own self-interest.

d) Summary of relevant literature:

In a corporation, direct control and ownership are often separate. Hence, direct control is possessed by the board of directors and the chief executive officer (CEO) rather than by the owners.

The board of directors is a group of people who have the ultimate decision-making authority in the company. They get elected by the shareholders. Normally each share of stock gives a shareholder one vote in the election. The board of directors decides how the corporation should be run, how management is compensated and also monitors the performance of the corporation. The CEO is charged with running the corporation by complying and instituting the rules set by the board of directors. Most corporations have thousands of owners (shareholders), each having different interests and priorities. Due to the separation of ownership and control in a corporation, principals and agents pursue different interests. Thus agents have little incentive to work in the interests of the principals when this means working against their own interests. This is called the principal-agent or agency problem.

Correct order of professional titles after name

Which is correct?

Sam Spade, Ph.D, M.F.A. or

Sam Spade, M.F.A., Ph.D.

Both are terminal degrees for different fields.

The Ph.D. was earned first, the M.F.A. (Masters in Fine Arts) later.

The Ph.D. is not art related.

Why?

tax return

changeling — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 06:19:32 GMT

Hi everybody!

I think it's chiefly AE question. I'm translating the financial column of Robert Kiyosaki. While I have a good time translating it, sometimes he gave me riddles that only native-speaker could explain. So, here's the sentence: Recently, on a popular morning TV show, a personal finance expert recommended putting half of your tax return into your IRA, which she claimed may yield (for the average person) a whopping $25,000 gain over 40 years.

What I canât (and most of my Russian colleagues) get is the meaning of tax return here. While tax return is obviously a report filed with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the literal meaning doesnât make sense here. For broader context: http://finance.yahoo.com/expert/article/richricher/28092

As all my experience, as a Project Engineer, was in Oil and Gas construction, I would appreciate the opportunity to join X Group in a future time. However, for the moment, as detailed on my CV attached, I am in my last term of the business course in London and as part of my studies I need to prepare a small research based project. The project will tackle a real case problem in Corporate finance or Investment Decisions, and therefore I will be very happy to work on a case at X (the company) or any of its subsidaries. I would like to explore the use of "Real Options" in long term investment decisions and its limitations in practice, however this may change according to what will be aggreed to be important to the company.

I am very willing to supply you with any information you may need and very pleased to receive your comments and suggestions very soon

Kind Regards,

Mr. Kerman,
