Prices when it comes to the service industry can be sometimes unethical of price discriminatory because sometimes not everything can be executed well due to the Ex. weather, time, risks and delays.

...behavior is terminated? Farrall and Bowling view desistance as the ending of a criminal career (Maruna, 2001). Farrall and Bowling describe this type of desistance almost the same way that a person quits a job where one stops doing a routine. The factors that had the most impact on the desistance process would be choice or rational choice. When criminals were asked why they stopped committing crimes most became sick of the lifestyle and hit rock bottom so they wanted to start a new chapter in their lives. This is important because the ex offenders are making rational decisions to stop committing crimes. These people tell themselves that they want to do better and change their lives around because they know that breaking the law is going to make them end up in jail or even dead. It is unfortunate that some of these offenders wait until they are at the lowest of the low to finally turn their life around and cease the temptation of crime. The book argues that ex-convicts have exaggerated many...

...definitely have to adjust, first to being rejected and second to life without somebody they still care for. How do you get through those first few weeks? Here we list eight essential things everybody must do in the early days of a break up to let the healing begin. 1. Avoid the former love. Yes, avoid. No, this isn’t being immature. Seeing your former flame can bring out emotions and may cause you do to or say something you will regret. In the first few weeks the best thing you can do for yourself is not be where you know they will be. 2. Talk out your feelings with close friends. Get everything out so that you won’t hold it inside. Your friends may get sick of hearing you talk about the situation but you need to let out all your feelings and thoughts or they may come back to bite you later. 3. Cry if you want to. It’s OK to cry over a loss. Don’t hold back, let the tears roll just do it in a safe and private place where it is unlikely to get back to your ex. You don’t want your tears to be used as a guilt trip. Their purpose is to cleanse you of any pain not make your lover come back. 4. Let go of mementos. Put away or give away anything and everything that reminds you of the relationship. Hide them out of sight so they will be out of mind until you are able to remember the relationship without longing for it to still be going strong. 5. Don’t slip up and get together with your ex. When you are feeling sad or missing a relationship it can...

...How to get Over a Break-up in a Healthy Way Break-ups are one of the most difficult phases of life. It is tough, but accepting the end and moving on is even tougher. It is easy to get into self-destructive behavior due to the extreme feeling of loss. The hurt is inevitable, but so is the recovery. It can seem overwhelming at first, but taking it a step at a time, a day at a time, will make it easier to move on into a happier world. Breaking up is like trying to recover from an addiction, or breaking a habit. Even when a relationship has ended, the connection that was shared between two people is not easily erased from the mind or body. Breaking the "ex habit" requires self-control and self-compassion. First, accept that it is over and take the time to grieve. It is okay to cry. Crying is cathartic and relieves pain. Show self-compassion. Understand that there are unplanned events in life that are painful, but that people get through events with resilience and help from others. Second, end all contact. Just like there were steps of courtship, there are steps to wean off from a relationship. Delete numbers from phones and delete their account off Facebook and other social networks. Being friends with an ex and knowing about their life will only hurt more because of the constant reminder of the current status: No longer together. Third, put away all reminders of an ex. Delete emails, photos, or stash them away where it cannot be seen. Looking at photos and reminiscing of the...

...“traditionally” instead of thinking “outside the box”. Ex. Using a coat hanger to unlock your car door. Limiting the problem unnecessarily- explore and challenge the boundaries of the problem. Ex. Racing another person on foot to a location, while there taking main streets your running through fields and jumping fences. Saturation or information overload- too much information can be just as bad as not enough information. You can become overloaded with minute details and unable to sort out critical aspects of the problem. Ex. When trying to solve a word problem minute details can distract you from the actual problem. Emotional blocks Fear of risk taking- fear of making a mistake due to childhood teachings, being rewarded for doing right and punished for doing wrong. Ex. Not trying out for a sport team because you’re afraid of not making the team. Lack of appetite for chaos- problem solvers must learn to live with confusion. The best solution may seem contradictory. Ex. When solving math problems using equations, you just have to accept it. Judging rather than generating ideas- problems can stem from approaching problem with negative attitudes. Ex. When trying to learn how to do geometry you have a hard time because you keep telling yourself “it’s too hard” and “I can’t do it”. Lack of challenge- sometimes problem solvers don’t want to get started because they perceive the problem as being too trivial and easily solved. Ex. Someone who thinks they know everything may...

Mark-ups are substantial from one organization to the next, causing a resultant mark-up of almost 800% from the growers to the consumer. In contrast, the value-added chain using Calyx & Corolla’s approach can be depicted as follows: Calyx & Corolla send order info to growers Customers call in order growers Fed Ex consumers With the Calyx and Corolla approach, information travels from the customers to Calyx & Corolla, directly to the growers. The growers then package the flower orders in their final consumer packages. The flowers are transported by Fed Ex to the consumer.

...It's a term we are all familiar with: The ex that obsessively texts or calls you, and tries to continue being a part of your life, regardless of you repeatedly insisting they go away. We've all been on both sides whether we like to admit it or not. But here is the cold hard truth, these obsessive behaviors during a break up are NORMAL! So why are we still calling people we used to love crazy? Seriously, why? Stop it. You know you’ve all crept on your ex just to make sure you are doing better than they are, so don’t pretend like you are above it. But seriously, there are psychological facts that back up the “crazy” nature that comes with a breakup, and here are some of my reasons I don’t believe in the term crazy ex-girlfriend, considering pretty...

...A STUDY ON THE EMPLOYABILITY AND ATTITUDE OF EMPLOYERS, TOWARDS EMPLOYING EX-PRISONERS AND EX-OFFENDERS AS PERCEIVED BY HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGERS IN ORTIGAS PASIG CITY Prepared By: Ms. Marilyn Dimaculangan CHAPTER I THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND INTRODUCTION It is well known that employment is an important need of most individuals; it provides income, social connection, and feelings of societal contribution and self worth. What may be less well known are the barriers to employment faced by those with criminal record, the challenges faced by employers in hiring ex-offenders and what can be done to facilitate employment opportunities as record numbers of people transition from incarceration to the community. A great number of employers are reluctant to hire individuals with a criminal past citing lack of skills and work history, untrustworthiness, and fear of liability for negligent hiring, among other things. Employers use of criminal history background checks over the past decades and they are less willing to hire ex-offenders that any other advantaged group. Their willingness to hire ex-prisoners varies according to the industry and position, the type and severity of offense committed by applicant and work experience since release. Employers are not always consistent in what they say versus what they do when it comes to hiring former offenders and prisoners Jail is a synonym for prison, especially when the facility is of a similar size as a prison. As with prisons...

... I have been living in a more stable and happy life compared to the married life I have before. How and why did I do it? Basically, I did it by re-socializing to adapt and cope to the married life I have now. What do I mean by re-socializing? It means that I must learn from my past experiences and make a dramatic change in the area concerning my behaviors, attitudes, expectations, and values to improve my new life. Before I get into my behavior change, I want to give a brief discussion on the topic why people get divorced. There are many reasons why people get divorced, but I will list a few of the important ones. First reason has to do with the break-down in communication and disclosure. This occurs with when both party starts to limit the communication between them. When one stopped talking to the other, it showed a lost of interest to be with the other one. If this goes on, both parties will eventually have negative thoughts such as, he or she is cheating, he or she don’t love me no more, or he or she is up to something no good. These kinds of negative thoughts aren’t good in a marriage life. Another reason has to do with the physical appearance and attraction towards each other. Couples get together because they feel physically attracted to each other. As time passes, it's more likely that taking good care of your body, like you did when you were single, gets unmanageable. If your partner no more finds you attractive, then chances are he or she do not find...

...raise awareness about ex-convicts at an event organized for the various stakeholders in Hamilton. It took place in the Town hall. The event started at 10AM and lasted for 4 hours. Mr. Cooper was invited to come and give a speech to raise awareness about the difficulties ex-convicts face and how hard it was for them to re-integrate into society. The reason for his invitation to speak on the aforementioned topic was because it had been noticed that most employers had been discriminating against ex-convicts whose criminal records had not been expunged. It was widely believed, before Mr. Cooper gave his speech, that things were going to change in the employment sector. Mr. Cooper has gained accolades from all over the country for his work in helping ex-convicts. He has been known to do this by going from city to city and giving speeches about the good virtues of ex-convicts. Mr. Cooper arrived Hamilton by 9:30AM and went straight to the Town hall to begin preparing for his speech. Mr. Cooper was met with thunderous applause as he got on the podium. Mr. Cooper started off his speech by asking, “How would you all feel if you were discriminated against for something you did a long time ago?” From the beginning of his speech it was obvious that he was going to try to reach out to the public by getting them to put themselves in the shoes of an ex-convict. Mr. Cooper then went on to share a short story with the audience, he told them of how a young Hispanic male...

...technology both on an individual, moral level and for society as a whole. When someone decides to make advancements in science it typically comes at the cost of human relationships. New technology drives people away from each other. New technology is always hotly debated in the news. In the end a society has to decide whether or not a new technology is moral or not. Advancing technology also advances power, which is the most dangerous thing of all. The novel Frankenstein and the video game Deus Ex: Human Revolution explore these dangers. Technology is a dangerous tool to society because it has the ability to destroy human relationships, it can be morally wrong, and it can allow certain groups and individuals to gain scary amounts of power. In the beginning of Frankenstein, Victor was social and communicated with his friends and family often. After Victor created the Creature, he ran into Henry who took notice of the effects of the creation on Victor. Henry said, “I did not before remark how very ill you appear; so thin and pale; you look as though you have been watching for several nights.” (Shelley 45). Victor worked tirelessly on making advancements to science and it made him sick. He did not talk or see his friends or family for a long time. The Creature is a symbol for a technological advancement. Victor represents society as a whole. Victor does reunite with his family for a time, but his creation comes back to tear them apart once again. If Victor never allowed for such...

You can move from 0 to 100, but then from 100 to 105 it becomes difficult. It has been observed that after certain stagnancy it plunges down. So How would u like to see the graph ? Why do they die down? 1. Lack of innovation : Generally people misinterpret this word with invention. Any improvement done and if it gives money , then it is called INNOVATION. If it doesn’t give money it is called CREATIVITY. Ex : Today there is no medicine for AIDS. But if medicine is found then it is INVENTION. Ex: Different ways of thinking is creativity. There are no examples of creativity. When creativity gets practical implication and you get money is innovation. Ex: Steve Jobs was highly creative and what he gave the world by way of his product was innovation. Innovation is not only in product but also in selling / systems. Ex : unique ways of selling. Direct marketing. Door to door selling. All the product was existing in the market. So very innovative in selling. Ex : Pan Parag Product was competitive. But no corporate competitors . This was way back in 1983. But he took the route of paanwala and sold thru them only. Actually they were his competitors.
