...1 Summary: The story is about a country mouse and a city mouse. The country mouse lives in a simple house and eats simple food. By comparison, the city mouse lives in a beautiful house and eats well every day. The country mouse wants the life of the city mouse. However, after he goes with the city mouse to taste experience (CH) city life, he does not like it any more. The country mouse prefers to be poor and happy rather than be rich and afraid. (82) Commentary: In my opinion, the story is quite interesting and inspiring in general because it teaches us a life lesson. To me (=I think), the ending seems the most interesting part of the story. This is because in the end the country mouse suddenly realizes/learns that he does not want a rich and dangerous life, but a simple and happy one. I like this part because it also inspires us/leads us to think deeply about our own lives. We might think that a good life means a rich life. However, (=But) according to the story, a good life should be simple and happy. It gives us a different idea about life, which I also agree with itthis . Therefore, (=so) I think this story is interesting and inspiring. (122) Deconstruction: yes, this forms a very good base for your teaching script – well done! VPs: GREEN: Mental*8; > BLUE: Relational*6; > PINK: Material*3 Mental process and relational process are significant in this commentary. A few material verbs occur.

...Project Management Leadership is a very important trait and concept is a management, and plays a prime role for the managers in the organisation. The managers in each and every organisation are required to exercise this trait in their area of professional development, and they must display due professional care in display of leadership role. The managers are entrusted with a dual functionality of representing the staff members in front of management, and representing management in front of staff members. At the outset, they are required to work with large number of subordinates and help them execute their work in a systematic manner. (S. Agarwal, 2011) In this process, they are also required to handle any inconsistency in the execution of work. In ensuring that the sub-ordinates perform their work in the most optimum manner it is important that appropriate leadership skills are displayed by the manager. The manager must be a strong leader in handling the disputes, in representing the group he manages, in resolving any form of dispute, in being a role model for its subordinates and also in getting the work executed (Boal, K. B. & Blau, G. J., 1987). A similar form of management trait was displayed in an area of professional development wherein, I was required to manage a group of employees, and the entire group was entrusted in accomplishing the accounting for a recently completed project of infrastructure work. The group members were allotted by the managing director, and...

...I will tell you about “hapai kan” legend, like my mother told me this night when the moon was shining. My mom said to me: come on here because I will tell you about “hapai kan”. Near of old Uxmal’s wall, it had a cave with dirty waters. There was a snake with wings, its name is “hapai kan”. Before it lived near of Izamal town, but it went out of its ancient place because this place where it was living was too dry and because the children ran out (it ate them). In a year, it swallowed 41 children over. Every year, it flies with the mouth upwards in the sky. It has a watchman who cares for it and its name is: h-waya´as. An H-waya´as is a Baalba´al, it is dirty, revolting with long hair around for all its body. It was inside the cave and caring for “hapai kan”. Its work is to search children to take them at the cave so hapai kan swallowed them. Hapai kan can bring a child towards itself with its hot mouth, even though child being so far like a distance of 4 walache´es. There are impenetrable labyrinths inside it cave. There anybody could get lost. People don’t allow their children go there. Once a year, it goes out by 4 directions: north, south, east, and west. After 5 days it will come back. When it go out, Baalba'al H-Waya'as turn it face upward; and when it come back at its cave it is face downward. While it flies on the world, it spreads a scabies or malignant fluff similar to the corn. This way everything spreads on the 4 cardinal points. As consequence would have putrefied...

...Story Telling and Marketing The Coca-Cola Company Author: Chetna Aggarwal Date: March 10, 2015 Supervisor: Prof. John H. O’Malley Table of Contents 1 What Is Story Telling? 3 2 Why Did I Select Coca-Cola? 3 3 Did The Story Added To My Awareness Of The Product? 4 4 Did I Connect With The Story? 4 5 Did It Cut Through The Clutter Of Competing Products? 4 6 In A Digital World, How Do You Get Your Message Through? 5 7 Bibliography 6 8 Declaration of Authenticity 9 * What Is Story Telling? Storytelling is the process of explaining real or fictional events through narrative (Storytelling, 2015). Complex ideas are depicted in an entertaining way or an emotional connection helps consumers remembering information (ibid.) by “building a picture of a company” (Bacon, 2013). It is said that people recall facts more easily when emotions are involved (Storytelling, 2015). Especially millennials, who have a shorter attention span and are exposed to an immense mass of information (2015), are more likely to remember an ad that is more interactive (Storytelling, 2015). Why Did I Select Coca-Cola? Coca-Cola is the soft drink giant par excellence – With a global market share of 25.9% in the soft drink market in 2011 (Statista website, 2015), the company has achieved what many companies dream of – Global brand recognition, meaning people can identify Coca-Cola without being directly exposed to the company’s name, but rather to its logo or colors (Brand Recognition, 2015)....

...Justin Ladd Calc 1 4/12/2011 Mini Project 2 Mini Project 2 For this project I took a different approach. I wanted to try something that was a little more changeling for me and at the same time I wanted a problem that would make me think. I know for some people that this may not seem to be that hard of a problem but for me these types of problem are difficult. I wanted to pick a problem that pertained to my major, which is Mechanical Engineering but that did not work out to well for me on the last project because I ended up treating the problem like an engineering problem and not a calculus problem, so with that being said that’s one reason that I picked this problem. The other reason that I choose this problem is that it seemed interesting to me and it is a story problem. For me personally I struggle with story problems and have difficulty comprehending what the problem is asking me to find. So let me tell what the problem is and then I will explain how I think it is related to the curriculum and a real world phenomenon: A water trough is 10 m long and a cross-section has the shape of an isosceles trapezoid that is 30 cm wide at the bottom, 80 cm wide at the top, and has height 50 cm. If the trough is being filled with water at the rate of 0.2 m3/min, how fast is the water level rising when the water is 30 cm deep? This problem is related to the curriculum because it is about linear approximation and differentials (Stewart). We covered this section is 3.9...

...mental health issues. These agencies have been a part of my life for the last thirteen years and have the personal knowledge of how they work, how they have grown and how these agencies service in different sectors of the community at the level of city, state and federal. Making a world of difference in the quality of a persons’ life, assisting them in the ability to see a light at the end of tunnel where no light existed. Yet, their growth is emissive that services tend to overlap, workers over worked and the quality of service seems to be diminishing. Mental illness continues to have stigma that works negatively in the public eye, so the government has little to say about the services that it offers. As we already know from the text that, "Government exercises considerable economic power through its consumption of a large part of society’s financial and human resources for the production of public goods and services like streets and highways, police and fire protection, public health, schools, national defense, and so on" (Cropf, 2008). Yet, because there are so many blank areas, unanswered questions and most obvious in mental health which is instability over shadows how these services work to better the lives of people who suffer, we offend to do hear their success stories. Turning Point Community Programs located in Sacramento California was the first experience I had with a mental health diagnoses, and started my road to the unknown.

...Last year on Christmas Eve my co-worker brought his 7-year-old son into the office for the half day. H came with a sack full of dinosaurs and drew me a picture of a T-Rex (which still hangs on my cubby wall). This year H came with his Star Wars coloring pens and I now have R2D2 hanging next to Rex. H and his dad chided me for not knowing who all the latest Star Wars characters are and all the hype around the Christmas release of Rogue 1. So I dug up the flash drive another co-worker gave me last year containing the first 6 Star Wars movies and watched them (in the new order) over the holiday break. (Sadly, just as I finished watching Episode 4 - the original movie, Carrie Fisher passed away. My God! – she was my age - how could she have a massive heart attack!?) I finished watching the last original two (now 5 and 6).
