...male chimpanzee actually making a tool to retrieve his food from the termite nest, just as we humans use a spoon or fork. This chimpanzee picks up a twig and strips the leaves from it and bends it to fit inside the little hole (Jane Goodall, 2010). Jane Goodall had witnessed one of the most important scientific observations ever in this chimpanzee. From a child she had always been told that humans and only humans used and made tools. She was amazed with what she had just witnessed with her own eyes, therefore doubting some information she had been told as a child. (Jane Goodall, 2010). This was the beginning of research on the human-chimpanzee relationship. There has also been a lot of research done concerning the elephant. Forty years of research has revealed the elephant also exhibit human like behavior. They communicate within their herds displaying many of the humanistic traits, expressing emotions such as flirting, anger and even some of the same parenting skills displayed in humans (Choi, 2011). The observation of the elephants from a distance, showed they display relationships similar to the human relationship They even display pain for their mate when they are in trouble. I know some people who have dogs and their dogs end up having the same type of personality as the owner. There are so many different breeds of dogs and many times people develop a misconception of the breed and feel a certain breed of the dog will act a certain way...

...you a pet, not just any pet, but a dog! A dog is a man’s best friend, a commonly used quote that is quiet accurate. I would adopt a dog because they are good companions, good protectors, a good responsibility to take on and they help you to be active. Dogs are good companions because they are very sensitive to human emotions and can brighten your mood when you are having a bad day. A dog is very good at making your surroundings come alive when you feel lonely, by just looking at you and wagging its tail in expression of love and affection for its owner and human companion. Dogs are excellent listeners and good secret keepers. So if you are ever alone and don’t have anyone to talk to, don’t worry your little furry friend will never be too busy to listen. I don’t think there is any other pet that is more loyal than a dog. Have you ever noticed how closely a dog walks with his master? I strongly believe that dogs are excellent pets for everyone to have in general but more specifically for challenged individuals. Which other pet is like a dog that can be trained to be of service to challenged individuals? These trained dogs are good companions who can complete various tasks for their owners as well as they can help them to find specific locations, due to their excellent sense of direction. Dogs, whether trained or not can add tremendous value to the lives of many people, I have no doubt that the right dog can do the same for you. I think dogs are good protectors. In our world today...

...That’s been the business plan that Murrell and his sons follow in their restaurant from their first day. The Five Guys philosophy is that if you're going to sell hamburgers and french fries in a restaurant industry that is crowded with hamburger-french-fries chains, you'd better do hamburgers and french fries better than anyone else. What makes Five Guys Burgers and Fries restaurant special and different from other fast food restaurants is that their burgers are made to order within a selection of 17 toppings, the buns are not toasted in a bun toaster but it’s toasted on a grill for better taste and the potatoes for the fries are soaked in water so when they are refried the water boils, forcing steam out of the fry, and a seal is formed so that when they get fried a second time, they don’t absorb any oil and they are cooked in peanut oil. Not like most fast food restaurants they serve dehydrated frozen fries that’s because if there’s water in the potato, it splashes when it hits the oil. Because Five Guys insists on the highest quality ingredients, its food prices change according to what the company pays its suppliers. When first the restaurant started, people asked for serving coffee. The Murrell family thought why not to try serving it, and they really...

...clandestine objective. It may surprise you to learn that propaganda isn’t just a military mechanism of war, and in my opinion it is just another name for marketing or advertisement as it shares the techniques with advertising and public relations, each of which can be thought of as propaganda that promotes a commercial product or shapes the perception of an organization, person, or brand. An example of propaganda in modern marketing are customer loyalty programmes. By tracking your purchasing and spending habits, along with when, where and how you shop, they can effectively utilise other forms of marketing such as personalised email offers, to influence your next purchase. An example of propaganda in Animal Farm is ad nauseam. This specific type of propaganda is seen throughout the novel through the song ‘Beasts of England’, this song is used to inspire the other animals with the idea of animalism and to unite them against one common enemy, humans. Another example of ad nauseam is seen through the slogan the animals are given, “four legs good, two legs bad”, it is simple and easy to remember. The question is do the animals actually think about what they are saying or are they just so familiar with it that it seems to make sense to them. This is often seen in modern marketing through advertisements such as McDonalds. They continuously have...

...A. Introduction One of the ways to tell and educate the children about moral values is by telling a story. At school, teachers usually tell the students some inspiring stories which usually are fiction, such as fables, legend and other folktales. One of the most famous stories told by teachers and parents is Kancil (Mousedeer) story. Kancil story is kind of fable as the characters in the story are animals. Fables, which frequently feature animal characters, are told with the intention of educating the listener or the reader[1]. The stories which often use animal characters are memorable way of reinforcing moral and ethical precepts and of teaching practical lessons on how to get along in the world[2]. Kancil (Mousedeer) is one of the most famous characters in a fable in Indonesia and some other Asian countries. There are a lot of stories using Kancil as the main character. In Indonesia the story about Kancil is influenced by the culture of the people in one region. Therefore, as Indonesia has a lot of ethnics with their culture, it makes Kancil stories are told in different version and different name based on the language, custom, value and religion of one society. For example, Aceh and other Malay people call Kancil as Pelanduk with the famous story “Hikayat Pelanduk Jenaka”; while in North Sumatera, Bataknese people call it Paes. However, still all the stories about Kancil describe him with the same character. Kancil is usually described as a clever, tricky and...

...Bengal was suffering from starvation. He sheds light on the devastating state of the Bengali people who were then known as refugees. The pressure is put on the reader to acknowledge not only the people who around you who needs help, but to assist people who you may not ever come in contact with as well. If the reader had not ever heard of the Bengal Relief Fund, they definitely left with the mindset of making a change to help these people whom they may never see in their lives. There were a few counter arguments that Singer faced within the reading. One was how wealthy countries should change their point of view in helping cripple and famine third world countries. He wanted to create a sense of urgency and loyalty to these people by shedding light on their lack of food, shelter, and medical supplies. Rich countries should take some form of accountability in helping these people even if it means they have to cut back on some of their own fibulas spending habits. Taking care of our own neighbor and forgetting about people whom we cannot see nor touch should be a thought process of the past. Our societies focus on the luxuries in life while we should be focusing on saving a life. Another counter argument Singer spoke upon was how we as a people are morally obligated to help those in need. “The charitable man may be praised, but the man who is not charitable is not condemned” (Singer, 1972, p. 232). Singer stressed how important it is to donate to charities and how we as humans...

...animal rescue and advocacy group that is dedicated saving “pit bull” type dogs from animal control and kill shelters and placing them in foster homes located all over Illinois and Northwest Indiana. This non-profit organization works very hard to assist the public with protecting and caring for these breeds. The organization helps to spay/neuter, fight against breed-specification legislation, help other rescue organizations and individuals by posting images of their dogs on their webpage for viewers to see, screen adoption applications for other non-profit organizations, educate the public about responsible bully breed ownership, combat dog fighting, and help promote a positive image and understanding of all bully breeds. They are a 100% volunteer organization and rely solely on donations from supporters, adoptions, and money they raise through fundraisers which all go right back to the dogs. In 2014, this organization helped rescue, rehabilitate, and, when they were ready, find forever homes for over 40 bully breed dogs. The non-profit organization “Don’t Bully My Breed” provides pit bull advocates with a code of ethics, and they fully support and help rescuers/owners practice ways of being a good handler of this specific breed by providing guidelines for them. So the question is, how do we make an organization receive a better reputation and more awareness to the public due to the type of breed of dog they 100% support through a public relations campaign? “Don’t Bully My Breed”...

...Team B’s Competitor Research Paper for the Mobile Food Truck University of Phoenix MKT/431 March 4, 2013 Gail Lorber Introduction B's Mobile Food Truck is a business that will offer the convenience of serving foods to their customers from a traveling truck. The food truck will be located near businesses, which will allow the customers quick access to the service. Customers will have different food choices to choose. However, quick access to the food service cause the company to compete against such companies as gas station, restaurants, grocery stores, and smoothie juice restaurants. Each of these businesses offers the service of prepared and ready-to-go foods and healthy choices. Each also allows convenience service. B's Mobile Food Truck must realize these businesses will be in constant competition against the mobile food truck. Mobile Food Truck Competitors Gas station food has earned a bad reputation over the last 20 years for various reasons. Usually the only things to be found are old hot dogs, stale donuts, slushes, and tightly wrapped tasteless sandwiches that have some sort of gross cheese that most people could not identify. Several gas stations have gotten into a different range of foods, trying to expand on better choices to boost the income. Many gas stations have either joined up with franchises such as McDonald’s, Subway or a pizza place to diversify their food attractions from the common place soggy sandwiches and sodas...

...characteristics" that distinguish his quarry from other warm-blooded animals in the field. This is a book about guys. It's not a book about men. There are already way too many books about men, and most of them are way too serious. Men itself is a serious word, not to mention manhood and manly. Such words make being male sound like a very important activity, as opposed to what it primarily consists of, namely, possessing a set of minor and frequently unreliable organs. But men tend to attach great significance to Manhood. This results in certain characteristically masculine, by which I mean stupid, behavioral patterns that can produce unfortunate results such as violent crime, war, spitting, and ice hockey. These things have given males a bad name. And the "Men's Movement," which is supposed to bring out the more positive aspects of Manliness, seems to be densely populated with loons and goobers. So I'm saying that there's another way to look at males: not as aggressive macho dominators; not as sensitive, liberated, hugging drummers; but as guys. And what, exactly, do I mean by "guys"? I don't know. I haven't thought that much about it. One of the major characteristics of guyhood is that we guys don't spend a lot of time pondering our deep innermost feelings. There is a serious...

...boarding cats and dogs. PetSmart carries more than 11,000 products that include food, bedding, leashes, toys, training products and many books on all type of pets. PetSmart is a solid company and would be a good investment for the conservative investor. This company has a great web presence and offers over 10,000 products from their website http://www.PetSmart.com . This website offers a very convenient way for consumers to order their products online and have them delivered to their home without having to go to the physical store. This is important because not only does PetSmart have to compete with the chain stores such as WalMart and Kmart and Target, they also have to compete with online stores as well. PetSmart also has to compete with the common grocery store chains as well. PetSmart falls in the category of Specialty Stores. When evaluating this company I also had to look at the market sector that it falls into. Market Grade stated that PetSmart was ranked fifth in the Specialty Store sector. In first place was Ulta Salon, Cosmetics & Fragrance, Inc. followed by Bed Bath and Beyond, Inc. and coming in third was Winmark Corporation and in fourth place was Lumber Liquidators Holdings, Inc. That is an extremely wide range of competition in the Specialty Store sector. It did however beat out O’Reilly Automotive, Inc. and Pier 1 Imports (Market Grade, 2013). One of the ways PetSmart is able to compete with these other stores that sell pet food and pet products...
