...Hemingway and Identity Ernest Hemingway had an expanse of ideas contributing throughout his two short stories, “Big Two-Hearted River: Parts I and II”. The abundant themes and motifs applied into the two stories differ due to their broad nature, but the theme of identity and renewal of the protagonist, Nick, stands absolute. In order to be given a sense of renewal, what must be done first? Essentially to expand our understanding, we can begin by looking at the root word of “renewal”, which is “new”, and is defined by Merriam Webster as: “not old : recently born, built, or created”. Delving further into Hemingway’s short stories, it can be concluded that the protagonist’s fate was transpired to be alike the initial setting given to him- as...

...Club IT, Part Two In the past months after the grand opening of Club IT improvement in systems continue to keep the business running and add a competitive advantage and update the intranet. However, recent studies conducted allow Lisa and Ruben; the company’s owners a different kind of problem or topic that requires immediate attention: company’s consumer relations, resources, and the supply system. Ruben Keys and Lisa Tejada took the first suggestions and their business is booming. While the company is still using the intranet system now, each employee can access his/her own information using a personal password. The company’s information such as stock, supply, or sales is accessible on to Ruben and Lisa. With the implementation of the new intranet system Ruben and Lisa can do employee evaluation tracking time management and efficiency of each employee. The new customer feedback section helps them to know their customers likes and dislikes, food and drink selections, and music choices. With this information, Club IT can become more competitive and stay a step above its competition. In addition to these changes, a new study shows that there are three areas that still need improvement to continue to rise to a full success story. The first suggestion is interdepartmental cooperation. Presently the intranet technology that Club IT utilizes only shows the owners the present issues in the company. However, the departments work independently; Ruben and Lisa do not see the needs...

Ruben and Lisa need to upgrade and improve their information management within the Club. The Club has several ideas, analysis, and planning that the Club needs to improve upon before moving forward. Ruben Keys and Lisa Tejada Club IT is a successful nightclub, but lack the technological character of other clubs in the city. Club IT can grow into the best club with expanding the club’s clientele and reputation by upgrading a few ideas insides the club. This business will need to provide structure in certain areas to reach its full potential. Some of the systems needed are customer relationship management (CRM), supply chain management (SCM), and enterprise resource planning (ERP). Club IT has several issues that need to be addressed to make this an efficient business. One of the issues is that the business does not seek improvements in the hi-tech assets that can amplify transactions, clientele, and general income. The computer system that this business is using does not have an integrated system that combines customer relations, enterprise resources, and supply management. Many of the Club’s clientele use PDAs, Blackberries, camera phones, and other wireless devices to communicate.

Club IT’s mission is to create a community that meets regularly and to offer the best in music, food and refreshments that suits their customer’s lifestyles (“About Club IT”, 2010). “Club IT’s customers are mostly net generation and millennials. They regularly use mobile technologies such as Blackberry’s, PDAs, camera phones, and other wireless communication devices” (“About Club IT”, 2010). With the completion of the renovation to their club, Ruben and Lisa have determined that the clubs information management is lagging behind. The clubs current resources consist of a website with an intranet portal for its employees. The clubs inventory is also kept in spreadsheets which allows for many mistakes. In order to uphold their mission statement and compete with other night clubs, Ruben and Lisa must update their existing business system. The clientele of Club IT is the basis of the business. Making the customers happy and ensuring their return is extremely important to the survival of the business. Implementing a customer relationship management system (CRM) into the business would allow the ability to evaluate the clientele base and manage the relationship between the customer and Club IT. One of the problems with the current practices of Club IT is that the website is very basic. The website does not offer any interaction with the customer and there are not any effective...

Part Two of the Financial Statements paper will assess the financial statements of Home Depot to ascertain how effective the company’s management is in achieving its goals and mission statement to the stakeholder’s. The analysis will use vertical analysis, trend analysis, and ratio analysis to achieve to support the findings.

...The Trojan princes argued over what they should do. Priam's son Hector said war was invincible. Antenor thought Hector just wanted revenge against the Greeks. Aeneas thought Troy would win because a prophecy foretold success for him. Priam said there was no choice. Cassandra, Priam's daughter, was a priestess of Apollo with a gift of prophecy. She was cursed by Apollo so that no one would ever believe what she said. She predicted that Hector would die and Troy would burn. The Greeks Laodamia and Protesilaus were married. Protesilaus joined the war against Troy but left a sculpture of himself to keep his wife company. One night she dreamed that she was with him as they approached Troy. He was the "foremost man" to leap from his ship onto the shore, and was killed. Laodamia knew this was a vision of the future. She prayed to Zeus, and he granted her three hours with her husband before he died, by making the statue come to life. Then Laodamia herself died. Agamemnon walked through his forces on the shore of Troy. He argued with Achilles and accused Achilles of holding back a prisoner. Achilles said he had captured the boy, Priam's son Lykaon, the night before behind Troy. The gods too watched the war. The battle began. Achilles fought with Cycnus, the son of Poseidon. No weapon could pierce him. However, Achilles strangled Cycnus by the straps of his helmet. Cressida was the daughter of Calchas, the Trojan prophet who joined the Greeks. He left his daughter behind with her uncle...

...Tamala Ruffin ENG 1250 October 11 2014 How to do a sew-in weave First, setup a work station so that you have all your supplies to be readily available. After the station is setup lay out all of the supplies that’s needed. The supplies that are needed for the service are at least two combs, a towel, clips, needle and thread, the hair, curling or flat irons (depending on the desired style that's to be achieved), oil sheen, and hair spray. Next, wash and blow dry the client’s hair. After the hair is thoroughly dried you began the parting. Parting can vary depending the outcome that's to be achieved. For a more natural look, and versatility the desired parting would be four sections. At the very top of each section leave at least an inch of hair unbraided to cover up the weave wefts. Once the four sections are done, begin to braid each section making sure the braids are not too big. Braid the hair in a horizontal pattern until you get to the ends leave the ends hanging, although it looks odd just hanging there once you start to sew-in the hair you can just simply add that hanging braid with the first row from the bottom you start to apply the hair to (sample web page). Now you can begin to thread your needle making sure you have enough thread to cover the weft of hair being used. Starting from the back of the head measure the weave hair against the braid that it's is going to go on than cut it. Place the cut weft on top of the braid, and began the process of sewing...

...\Oceanography 1001 (all sections) Study questions for Tuesday, January 22, 2013 Chapter 4 1. Why is quartz one of the most abundant constituents of lithogenous sediments? (Ch. 4, Section “What Is Lithogenous Sediment?”) Quartz is resisitant to abrasion, it can be transported long distances and deposited far from its source area 2. What is the Calcite Compensation Depth (CCD)? (Ch. 4, Section “Distribution of Biogenous Sediment”) The depth at which the amount of calcite (CaCO3) produced by the organisms in the overlying water column can dissolve. No calcite composition occurs below this depth, which in most parts of the ocean, is at a depth of 4500 meters (15000 ft) 3. Why are gas hydrate deposits abundant on submarine continental margins? (Ch. 4, Section “Energy Resources”) High productivity surface waters enrich ocean floor sediments below with organic matter. Organic marine sediments provide natural gas in which pressure is high and temperature is low 4. Why are the deep ocean basins covered with red clay deposits? (Ch. 4, Section “Distribution of Lithogenous Sediment”) The absence of other materials that would dilute it. Clay dominates because of the near absence of lithogenous and biogenic particles 5. On the whole, what is the most important mechanism of transporting continental-margin lithogenous sediments? (Ch. 4, Section “Origin of Lithogenous Sediment”) Weathering agents (flowing water) 6.

...some sections of this week that I did not understand. It also allowed me to bounce ideas and calibrate on this week’s assignment. Using the discussion board is great but being able to instantly communicate with our team allows us to work better with each other. Another media that helped me big time as the E-book, using the eBook from book shelf makes it easier to navigate back and forth between section and the highlighting section helps keep track of things that I might have to go back and read again or to highlight important section that I think will be needed. I believe this will come in handy later on down the line when it comes time to take the final. These two media tools where very useful this week as this week for some reason felt a little more challenging to me, being able to reach out to team members and have parts that where a little fuzzy helped somewhat clarify certain sections of the chapter. One last media tool or study tool that was very important to my self was the UOF app, I am not always able to be in front of my PC so being able to get on this app from my tablet or my phone makes it a life saver. This app allows me to stay up to date with discussions and assignment due date’s as well as my grades. With the continued use of these and other media I hope to continue to make some pregress and be able to grasp all the concepts that we are...

...Calveta Dining Services, Inc. Jinu JosephPA1115 | Abstract Calveta Dining Services, Inc. was a $2 billion, privately held firm that provided food services to almost 1000 senior living facilities (SLF’s) in the United States. Antonio Calveta, the founder of Calveta Dining retired in 2007 after 35 years of leadership and he named his eldest son Frank as the new CEO and told him to double the company’s revenues within a space of 5 years. The dilemma that Frank was facing was that even after 2 years into this job of his he did not have any credible strategies to fulfill his father’s promise or to attain aggressive growth as his father wanted. Calveta Dining Services owed its success to Antonio Calveta’s passion for food, traditional family values and the customized services they offered to the SLF residents. Frank was named CEO of the company over his other siblings including his sister Jennifer Calveta who was more suited for the job, now Frank was left with the option of expanding their business by acquiring Great South West Dining (GSD) or to enter into the hospital segment and diversify their business and at least try and come close to meeting his promise to his father. Analysis The United States Census Bureau’s survey showed that only 25% of the total SLF’s in USA had contracted to food services, this survey alone shows that there is a great potential for growth in the SLF’s segment and therefore it would have been meaningful for Frank to buy Great South West Dining...
