...Oil And the Winner is How often do you take your baby to the local Quick Lube or dealership to get the oil changed, every three months or 3000 mile? Or, if you’re like most of us, you find it challenging to make the time in your busy schedule, so you get it done when you have the first chance. Did you know that in today’s newer model cars, automakers now say it’s ok to wait up to 5000 or even 10,000 miles, depending on the model of the car and daily driving conditions, without an oil change. One question that a mechanic may ask you is, whether you want conventional or synthetic oil used? And do you reply, “What do you suggest?” Even though conventional motor oil cost less than synthetic motor oil, when your car is taken to the shop for regular maintenance, synthetic motor oil is a better choice for your vehicle's engine as it reduces engine wear better than conventional motor...

Many people say they did better on a test when they chewed gum, than not chewing gum. It can do a lot more than that. Let me tell you about it. Surprisingly gum relieves stress.

Eliminate the Unnecessary • Either professionally or personally, eliminating the “unnecessary” in life goes a long way in making you more productive. • What do we mean by “unnecessary”? • Well, strictly speaking, anything that prevents you from reaching your particular goal. For example If your goal is to clean out your email inbox, then don’t spend 45 minutes on Face book. • Put simply, you need to draw a firm, distinct line between the “necessary” and “unnecessary” in your life. • The stricter you define these terms, the more you’ll find that a lot of things are truly unnecessary in your life. 2. Plan Your Work • If you go into work every day having no idea what you want to accomplish, then you’ll probably accomplish nothing. • Set aside ten to fifteen minutes before work and either write down or mentally plan what you want to accomplish. • Personally, I plan my work each morning...

...The Bystander Effect Kory Gioffredi Social Psychology If somebody had called in sick for work and they had asked you to fill in for them, would you? We as a society get asked this question multiple times throughout our lives, this statement would be known as “the bystander effect”. Fundamentally, the bystander effect is most likely to occur when a group of people witness a situation, where a person is in distress and requires assistance. According to the theoretical model of diffusion of responsibility, people are less likely to intervene and come to the assistance of someone because they feel less responsible (Garcia, Weaver, Darley, & Moskowitz, 2002). If you witnessed an accident that happened right in front of you, would you drop the something that you are doing to go help? Some people would say yes, and some would say no. There is no right or wrong answer to this, but people think that “yes”, you should drop whatever it is that you are doing and go and help that person or persons that are in trouble. This is the “Bystander Effect”. Psychologists have done studies showing that you as a person, whether or not you should interfere would be determined by on the number of bystanders that were present of the incident. When an emergency situation transpires, witnesses are more than likely going to react a little differently whereas just in an “accident”. The difference between and accident and an emergency is pretty simple and basic, emergency is when somebody would be...

...stops. From the time you’re born, you are influenced by the people and things around you. Even in kindergarten, you soon learn that in order to ‘fit in’, you have to conform yourself to the atmosphere. This means that when a friend of yours wants your peanut-butter and jelly sandwich instead of their corn-dog that you will give it to them for fear of being rejected. By the end of the school year though, you realize that you don’t have to give into this pressure, so you make a trade for their pizza instead. By middle school, however, you’ve wised up and know everything there is to know about peer pressure do to millions of conversations in Health class about it. And now that you’ve reached this new level of maturity, you no longer give up your favorite foods to fit in. You’ve learned that loaning your favorite clothes and CDs works a WHOLE lot better. High school is slightly different. You’re less likely to give in to material things. Now it’s about emotions and relationships. The famous phrase, “But, I love you” soon comes to mean nothing. Oh but don’t worry, by the time you reach college you’re practically grown, right? Not hardly. Now with the pressures of having a job and going to school, you’re less capable of saying no to the pressure from you peers. Especially when all they want you to do is skip class to take a little personal time for yourself, or catch a flick with them. Oh, and we can’t forget about the infamous parties. As you get older, peer-pressure gradually...

What were some of the most important comments made on your last paper or writing assignment, which you attempted to improve or correct here? Instead of chopping off sentences, in order to make the sentences and transitions flow better, I should try to connect ideas. I should bring in the counterarguments in the paragraph itself in order to seem less biased towards the topic. . I should try to be more specific when I globalized my argument. 2. What was especially challenging about the assignment? When you talk about your own life experience, you tend to ramble or repeat the same stuff you already said. This was especially challenging for me because I had to figure out what to include and what not to while still making my point. 3. What did you think was successful about your writing (what did you do well)? I attempted to try to relate the evidence from life to teach my lesson. I also attempted to globalize my argument and be more specific about it. 4. What would you like me to notice and comment on? I would like you to comment on my repetitiveness. Sometimes, I felt that it was too repetitive. Chloe Mballa Professor Fiore ENG100 Section 22 8 December 2014...

...as being successful in your career, primarily involves good listening skills. We want to teach you things that will contribute to you being a person and a professional of good quality. We want you to be respected by other people. If you show people that you are a quality person, they will respect you more and you will achieve more in your career. Being a good listener is a mark of a person of high quality because: 1. You show respect for everyone involved and they will respect you for that. When you are engaged in something else during class, during a meeting, in court, etc., it sends the message that you are not fully listening. As an instructor, boss, coworker OR a classmate, that tells me that you are discourteous and unprofessional! 2. When you pay full attention, you show people that they are worth your full attention. They then tend to respect you more! 3. The more you pay attention, the more you can take in and use information, which shows that you are a capable person, which will earn respect. On the other hand, if information seems to “go in one ear and out the other,” people will tend to think of you as unreliable or flaky and will not respect you or value you as a professional. 4. The more you listen, the more likely you will be able to follow through on instructions or requests and people will learn that you can be trusted with tasks. This is important while in school because...

...Amy DiBartolomeo Composition GE 117 Week 6 Dear Mayor, I am writing this letter to inform you of a campaign in the works, a public relations effort to “Turn off the T.V.” This is to convince residents of our county to reap the positive benefits of turning off the television for one month. I know as someone who loves to watch television “all the time” that I definitely could benefit from shutting it down for a month. There are many different benefits for every man, woman, and child. A child’s imagination is stronger when they read vs. watching television. Children that don’t watch television remain innocent longer because they don’t see the horrible things on the news. There is less exposure to violence and sexual situations. Also, less time in front of the television leads to more outside activities and playing for kids, which leads to exercise for everyone. Exposure to violence is at its highest all across the nation. Not only does this relate to violent television shows but violent video games as well. Even cartoons have a lot of violence in them these days. Let’s definitely not forget the violence in the news every day. We need less exposure to violence for children and adults all across the board. For children, early exposure to violence can lead to violent behavior in young adulthood. After exposure to violent television, music, and video games, violent thoughts and behavior are known to increase. This can increase aggression in adults, and children for that...

...Most Promising Way to Prevent Global Warming Have you noticed why summer is becoming hotter and hotter, why the forests are constantly burning, why there is drought, why the ice glacier is melting, why there is more floods around the world or why spring comes early? The answer to these life threatening questions is global warming. In “The complete Idiot’s Guide to Global Warming,” Michael Tennesen stated: “Global warming is the effect the greenhouse gases are (carbon dioxide, methane, and others) having on the earth’s climate.” (Tennesen 7). The greenhouse gas in the atmosphere is increasing rapidly due to the human activities of burning great amount of fossil fuels. Take action soon, if you want your children to have the future you want them to have. If we do not take action soon, it is likely that there will be some major unpleasant and dangerous changes on earth and also there is a possibility that this beautiful earth we live in is not going to be present. In “Climate Change: What We Can Do,” Jennings Lane stated: “Global warming threatens our economy, our dreams, our very lives.” It is preventable if people work together and sacrifice to change their daily life style. Global warming is a growing and life threatening problem that is affecting all living things on the universe. There are many ways to reduce global warming but the most promising ways are to build up a better mass transit and be engaged in reusing, reducing and recycling. The most promising way people...

...will do a better job, and treat customers better. The more invested the employees are in a company, the more respected and listened to they feel, the more they will believe in a product or service. It will show, and you will see results in the form of higher sales. In addition to having overall happier employees, asking for feedback helps you identify problem areas or challenges your business may be facing that you are unaware of. Don't be worried, shocked, or upset if you end up identifying a very large number of challenges and opportunities. The idea is to not get overwhelmed, but rather prioritize the challenges and problems that exist, and create an action plan for addressing them. Look at them as opportunities to improve. With each improvement made, you open up the door for business growth. Improving employee satisfaction saves you time and money because it results in greater employee retention, less turn over, and employees more willing to work hard. Once your employees are satisfied and loyal, it is time to work on your consumers. Survey customers and use social media to hear how they feel. Ask them what they think of your products. Ask them what they think of your services. Ask them what they would improve upon. Ask them what they like and don't like about your company as a whole. It can stink to hear what people have to say, but it can also help you address problems you may not have known existed, and as a result, create a pleased consumer base that knows you will do...
