...A01-06-0012 Graeme Rankine Aussie Pies (A) “Wow, Australians really love their meat pies,” Anna Amphlett said to Andrew Ferris as they sat at the Melbourne Cricket Ground watching the Australian Football League (AFL) Grand Final between the Sydney Swans and the West Coast Eagles. “I’ve seen people eat three meat pies straight, then wash them down with a full liter of Fosters Lager,” she said as she looked across to see Sydney win the 2005 Premiership with a score of 58-54. According to observers, “Sydney has ended the longest premiership drought in AFL history in the most emotional and heart-stopping fashion imaginable by beating the West Coast Eagles by four points in the most exciting and closest grand final for nearly 40 years.”1 “But it’s not just at footy matches,” Ferris noted, “they eat them all the time, just like we eat hamburgers and hotdogs back in the States.” Ferris thought about the number of pies eaten by the 100,000 people attending the AFL Grand Final. Amphlett and Ferris lived in Seattle, Washington, but were on a vacation to Australia to visit the Great Barrier Reef and attend the Grand Final in Melbourne. “I wonder if Americans might develop a following for the Aussie meat pie,” he said to Anna… “perhaps there’s a business opportunity back home.” Australian Meat Pies The meat pie, a hand-sized pot pie made with pastry and filled with minced (ground) beef and gravy, is consumed as a takeaway food snack in Australia (see Exhibit 1 for an illustration...

...The Poet of Suburbia In 1930, the world welcomed a personality who during the course of his remarkable life, revolutionised and helped shape or develop the meaning and world of poetry. He was born in Geelong, Victoria and lived an early life that lacked direction and unveiled very little promise as a writer. However, despite what his earlier years may have shown, he stands today as one of the biggest selling, highly regarded and most influential of Australian poets. And yet again, successful composers have proven to the world of literature that there is no need for an extended education to master the art of writing. Aiding in his success was his ability to capture the human experience with the timeless and universal themes that are implicit in his texts. Whilst Shakespeare was able to find universal human qualities in individuals with high hierarchical status such as Kings, dukes and other noblemen, the ‘Poet of Suburbia’ is a unique writer in that his work explicitly encapsulates the Australian way of life; he writes about the ordinary suburban citizen. “Bruce Dawe is the poet of Australia and the poet of the people. His poems effectively reveal many facets of Australian life.” Not only does this statement allude to Dawe’s work with the Australian poetic tradition, but it also informs the reader about his individual understanding of Australian life which accounts for his distinctive connection with the ordinary Australian. This essay will discuss this poet’s work with Australian...

...INTRODUCTION The reason how McDonalds Restaurant became a well-established brand around the world began with the series of strategies they used throughout the years in building its success. From the beginning there was only a local food stand more like the food trucks on the streets now to becoming the multi-billion corporation with over a billion employees. The way McDonalds is able to penetrate through different markets around the world is very amazing because they may be the only fast food brand that could be found around the world with the possibility of finding one just at a corner near you. The brand is well known around the world yet they may only know the name and that it is a fast food restaurant. Yet different countries or cities may have discrepancies in menu engineering where the company accommodates to the food preferences of the people or the culture of the regions. As many may know, operating a hospitality establishment requires much effort to maintain and operate while the failure rate of restaurants are statistically calculated to be quite high. As discussed by the “RestaurantOwners” website, “Within a 90 percent confidence interval, CRG found that the first year failure rate for startups averaged 23 percent over four years in that market. Based on the study, you could say that there is a one in four chance a new startup will fail.” Nonetheless all company may have there ups and downs while the McDonalds Restaurants brand reign in the fast food market for...

...ACCOMPLIS Kacee Kotsano Note: “Always remember it is the past that makes us, The future, which will break us, And the present time which will determine us. However, as one door swings open, another shall shut, Closing behind of what was left to come undone, Revealing after all that he truly was, Only the accomplis. Not apart of that man, But by any other name he‘d still Never be accepted, Only judged by what was in front, Not what was truly divine?” 'Tis but thy name that is my enemy. Thou art thyself, though not a Montague. What's Montague? It is nor hand, nor foot, nor arm, nor face, nor any other part Belonging to a man. O, be some other name! What is in a name? That which we call a rose . By any other name would smell as sweet. So Romeo would, were he not Romeo called, Retain that dear perfection which he owes Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name; And for that name, which is no part of thee,…’ Quote Juliet- Romeo and Juliet: William Shakespeare Prologue He sat there by the fogged up window sitting on the old box seat, he was staring out at the rain that was falling on the ground, the rain had been pouring down ever since dawn that morning and to be honest it was annoying the shit out of him. It beat down at the ground so hard that all the roses in the front garden had, their leaves torn apart so now they looked like dark red smudges against the earthy...
