...along with their authors, that have been particularly meaningful to you. For each book, please include a sentence explaining their influence upon you. Please note that your response is not limited to math, science or school-assigned texts. Waiting by Ha Jin reminded me of a theme of life that youth is the time to experiment and that one should not wait for another time for his/her passions to flourish. The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho opened my eyes to the treasures within myself as the invention or discovery can be right beside you, but you hunt the whole world for it. The Kingdom of the Golden Dragon by Isabel Allende is a book that I still vividly remember even after five years; it taught me the power of writing...

...Why I love Facebook? Just recently Facebook has celebrated its 11th birthday. For just over decade this global social networking website has 1.3 billion active users. It is a big number of people and possible exceeds some nations in the world. Yes, Facebook is popular and many people prefer virtual chatting rather than real. Why do we make it a problem? The World is changing: horse riding and pigeon post also are buried deep in history. Let`s face the 21st century reality. Janet is proud saying she has real friends, but are they so real? Let`s face the truth. What is friendship? It is relationship between friends, where people sharing spare time, secrets and so on. Basically, everyone is looking for his or her own benefits. Janet, when she feels lonely or need cheering up, calls to her friends. Obviously, she uses her friends, as she needs them right now. There is nothing to be ashamed of as it is in human being nature to use each other for own interests. However, having your friend in Facebook and browsing her photos and lifetime, you may actually be interested in her life. Every human being has his own life experience and sometimes a distance forces people to lose common interests with his real friend, not matter how close they used to be. My personal experience proves that theory. I used to have the best friend for more than ten years and we seemed so close that nothing in the world could change that fact. However, circumstances have separated us and a lack of the communication...

...competitors, location, internal layout and design and the marketing strategies. It takes up a lot of time and effort to make a successful business plan but in the end it is worth it. Before you even think about opening a business you have to go through these simple procedures and write up a business plan. If you open with all these things your business is bound to be a success. Every business needs a name, imagine a business with out a name it would be nothing and you would definitely not remember it or be able to think or tell people about it because is has no name. The name of your business is the most important part of the business plan; with out it you’re nothing. You want the name of your business to be catchy and something that everyone will remember while also having some sort of connection with what your business is. For example we have called our business Scrumptious, it is very catchy and rolls of the tongue, personally I love the word scrumptious and that is one of the reasons why I choose it. So you also need to think about if you like the name you have chosen because if you don’t then it’s likely that other people wont as well. I know it's not very good but i'm not sure if this is where you upload thing to get like help or something so i just did......

...computer. Coben believes that the internet in a dangerous place. Therefore, a parent has the right to monitor you kid. She states that as a parent you have the responsibility to monitor your children and keeping them safe.”Trust is one thing, but surrendering parental responsibility to a machine that allows the entire world access to your home borders on negligence” this quote implies that parents who believe that the internet is a safe place they are neglecting their parental duties. In addition a agree with Coben’s argument that spyware is a way to protect your children. I believe that parents should use spyware on their children’s computer only for the sole purpose of keeping their children safe. There are many disadvantages that the internet can have on your children’s life. Also, there is no reason for your child to hide anything from you. Parents have the right to monitor their kids if they feel like they are in danger. If the parents action is in the right state of mind then they are doing what a responsible parent would do. For example, ”One friend of mine, using spyware to monitor his college-bound straight -A daughter, found out that not only was she using drugs but she was sleeping with her dealer.” The dad was aware of the situation his daughter has been in and confronted her to talk out the situation. The first reason why I believe that parents should use spyware is that the internet is a treacherous place. The most common problem that the internet has is cyberbullying...

...Three programs stood out to me as I did research, and those three are VetOfficeSuite.com, eVetPractice.com, and ezyVet.com. As you read through this paper, I will explain the pro and cons of each different software package. VetOfficeSuite.com was founded in March, 2010, by Eric Bregman, VMD. Eric is the co-owner of the Bregman Veterinary Group, a growing group of Veterinary practices started by his father Dr. Jack Bregman, in Coney Island, NY in 1970. Eric, his dad Jack, and his brother Allan Bregman, DVM, now own 3 veterinary hospitals and a Nuclear Medicine facility in the New York City area, and recently have expanded to Orlando, Florida, where they will have 2 additional full service veterinary hospitals. eVetPractice.com began back in 2011 when our owner and founder, Eddie Heinz, was tasked by his sister-in-law to find an affordable practice management solution that offered the necessary features to run the new mobile practice she was beginning. Dr. Kristen Arp had worked in corporate medicine for some time and new the value of properly managing her business, but like most veterinarians, did not have a background in software and was concerned about making the right choice. Fortunately, she reached out to the family software developer for assistance. ezyVet was founded in 2006 out of the desire for an intuitive, affordable and customisable software that could cater to Veterinary Practices of all sizes and compositions. Plenty of other software options existed but none seemed...

...strengthening our ego to the edge. The dating website Beautifulpeople.net only has members determined completely by looks, with existing members of the opposite sex voting on new applications. That for me just screams new narcissism. So does a recent study by psychologists at San Diego State University, concluding that young people are more narcissistic than ever before. Professor Jean Twenge found that two-thirds of the students scored above average on narcissism. 2) According to the text Student narcissism on the rise by Janice McDuffee, Today’s college students put themselves first. Lead author professor Jean Twenge of San Diego University calls the students “Generation Me”. She has made some studies, based on that she determined that students have become drastically more narcissistic. One reason why young people are narcissistic may be due to their parents. They cuddle their children to much, and they are already self-centered as it is. Twenge also wrote in her book that “Generation Me: Why Today’s Young Americans Are More Confident, Assertive, Entitled – And More Miserable Than Ever Before”. With that she is saying, like the first text, that today’s young people are more self-centered...

...Self distribution You have given blood to complete your independent feature film and have contacted every producer’s rep and independent film distributor on the planet — and they have all turned you down. Is this the end of your film? The answer is no. If you’re in this situation — a situation that many independent film makers find themselves in every year — it may feel like you are dead in the water, but actually independent film self distribution has been a viable alternative for years and is now better than ever. For example, with CreateSpace you can submit your film and all the artwork electronically — completely free — and your film will be available for sale as professionally-made DVDs on Amazon.com, where it can also be sold as video on demand. CreateSpace is part of Amazon.com and absolutely reputable. There are no start-up fees for filmmakers and it is guaranteed and instantaneous distribution. Sure, we all want to see our films on the big screen, but when all else fails, CreateSpace will allow your film to be bought by as many people as are willing to watch it. Depending on how popular your film is, you may even make a good profit! Independent film self-distribution is now unquestionably the way forward for the overwhelming majority of small independent films. Even before the massive economic recession, it was next to impossible to secure meaningful distribution for small independent films. You know the ones I’m referring to: ultra-cheap independent films shot with...

...be there no matter how many times you have deleted it. You may not see it, but others can. In today’s society, privacy rarely exists anymore. There are certain tools and gadgets people use when trying to invade somebody’s privacy including hidden cameras and satellites. Privacy no longer exists in my eyes because of all the new technologies and programs allowing the invasion. What is privacy? Do people today really understand what privacy is? Or have they really got to experience some privacy? The definition of privacy is allowing and individual or group to “seclude them or information about themselves and thereby reveal them selectively.” When something is private, it is usually something personal or valuable to someone. Everyone likes privacy, but it is no longer “available.” Everything people hope is private is no longer private. An example is, before data bases were even created a patient’s information was recorded and put into files in a filing cabinet. There were no security precautions preventing another doctor from exploring somebody’s files. A doctor could do anything with the files without anybody knowing because there is no way to find out. Now the doctors have data bases they put the information into. This is not private at all either. Hackers can hack into anything they want to. They could easily tap into the computer and access someone’s personal information. Another question has come up and that is about emails. There have been some cases where people say that...

...than other. Answer: Two local based business that I’ve choose is “Ahmed fabrics “and the other campaign is “Aslam fabrics”. I found Ahmed fabrics more effective campaign because of their advertisement. Advertisement in sense, they put up many Ads on social media i.e. Facebook, Google and many others as well as on cable TVs and billboard’s. This is how they attract people. People start knowing about their packages and people always have the name of something when they need something means let suppose that I wanted to buy a unstitch shirt piece from local business i.e. not from brand. The first name which comes to my mind is “Ahmed fabrics” just because I’ve seen many Ads of that campaign and this campaign usually upload their sale packages i.e. 50% of on entire stock, buy 1 get one free, upto 70% off on so on…. to social media which attract people too much. Aslam fabrics is not so popular or may be many people don’t know about them unless those who’ve visited the area where Aslam fabrics is. Just because they haven’t had any Ads or interaction to people via social media or nothing to advertised locally i.e. no pamphlets, no billboards, so, no one easily know about them. So, the point is this advertisement matters a lot in promotion of your business and increases your sales and generates profit. Question 2: Select a good or a services that you have purchased recently try to retrace the promotional tools that bought the product to your attention were some of those promotional...

...pages like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram that are like the online diaries of social web. Then there is Youtube which is like a database of nothing but videos for people to search. There are also websites like LinkedIn, a professional network. There is also online dating pages and pages for stock markets as well. There are so many social web sites that affect every ones lives in different ways. It is amazing how I am able to connect with people from school, professional arenas, social arenas, and social networks all by internet. On the internet, we have websites like Facebook. Facebook originally started out for college students only. Now it has evolved into a page that any aged person can have. It is a place to upload pictures and videos. You can keep people updated on your life from across the world. As of right now Facebook has over 845 billion active users. People upload over 250 million photos every day. Facebook has been used to promote celebrities and other businesses. People can have a Facebook page to raise money from a fundraiser or get people interested in their product or business. Statistics show that there are more males on Facebook then females. Also the 55 and up age group grew 922.7% in 2009. It seems like everyone has a Facebook now. Everyone from Kourtney Kardashian to all different sports teams. ( The only reason I know this is because my 54 year old father told me he was friends with Kourtney Kardashian.)

A competitor firm has outsourced its production abroad. You could do the same. You are the major employer in the town where you are located. You have to decide whether also to outsource your production. Introduction The industry that my firm operates within is the winter clothing industry. The company supplies clothing to multiple clothing retailers across the U.K and selected areas of Europe mostly around the French and Swiss Alps. The company’s factory is based in Brackley and employs 2500 local employees. Our company has a strong ethical and moral feel and image due to a strong involvement in charity fund raising and organising events for under privileged children to get involved in sports and activities they wouldn’t usually have the opportunity to do. We are seen locally as an incremental part of the local infrastructure and through feedback sheets its apparent that on the whole our employees are happy and our staff turnover and productivity reflects this. The main issue we have recently encountered is that in October 2011 the minimum wage went up 15p to £6.08 an hour therefore increasing the cost of labour and due to the rise in oil prices to £61 has increased the cost of production due to 80% of our clothing being made for gore-tex and other heat insulating plastic based materials.
