...ttools (A) Case Write-up Summary: Hazzard invented a pen/stylus device, used for PDAs, which was a pioneer in the market. After the failure of trying to license his design to a manufacturer of pens, Hazzard and his wife Leigh founded ttools company to assemble and sell the pen by themselves in early 1998. Hazzards self-financed a utility patent application for their pen/stylus device before the device was launched. Prior to writing a business plan, the Hazzards’ patent attorney drafted a nondisclosure specifically for the meeting with Palm Pilot, who owned the largest PDA market share in 1998. Palm thought the pen would be a great accessory for the Palm Pilot and invited Hazzard to advertise through Palm email ad system. With the utility patent and marketing strategy, ttools got huge success once the pen/stylus was known by customers through email. In October 1998, Hazzard learned that Palm had contracted IDEO to develop next-generation Palm PDA and a pen/stylus device similar to ttools’. On June, 1999, the USPTO issued ttools, but the attribute of 3Com was not negotiable, they would not give up the product because of the patent issue. Recommendation: I would like to recommend the third path. Firstly, the IDEO’s design clearly infringed on ttools’ patent, there was no risk to fail on course. When it comes to business risks for ttools, I think Hazzard should not be too pessimistic, ttools was on the right side, and this would be a litigation between a startup and a big corporation...

...Doing the Right thing on the Streets of Fort Lauderdale I was just about to get into my car at the Fort Lauderdale Post Office when a woman approached me and said in slurred words, “Can you give me 50 cents to catch the bus?” She was gaunt and haggard and I suspected she was much younger than she looked. The ranked stench of alcohol assaulted me. She was obviously under the influence, but I asked her anyway, “Have you been drinking?” Unable to understand her I asked her if she had a home. She said no, and that she’d been sleeping outside. I asked the woman her name and she answered, “Annie.” I said, “Annie, do you have a family?” Her reply was that her husband had died. I asked if she had any children; her response was incomprehensible, so I asked her if she’d like a place to stay. She answered “I’m really tired and want to sleep. My bones feel like their breaking." My heart went out to Annie. What experiences had she endured that had caused her to come to this point in her life? I knew of only one way to get some immediate help for Annie. I asked if I could pray with her and she immediately agreed. She was wearing thick woolen gloves, one of which she immediately took off so she could clasp her hand in mine. That really affected me; her action indicated to me that she really wanted the touch of another warm hand. I wondered how long it had been since she had felt any kind of human contact. Right there in the Post Office parking lot I closed my eyes and we had church...

...Uber Service in Vietnam Nowadays, there are not too many cars in developing countries; therefore, the citizen has to use the other transportation instead of using cars such as motorbikes, bikes, buses, and so on. Vietnam is one of the developing countries unlike America, where there are a bunch of cars and everybody can have cars by their own. Uber is an American international company headquartered in San Francisco, California. It develops markets and operates a mobile app based on transportation network also called Uber. Moreover, it does not have any cars or drivers. Its function is providing service through people who would like to make some extra money of being temporary taxi drivers. Convenience, cheapness, and newness are three things Uber makes its customer feel when using its service. Users need to have Uber app on their smartphones before enjoying its service. The app will provide the map and the location of Uber registered cars for customer. Then, both of them can take the initiative to arrange the time and the place by them own. Using Uber, people can pay cash or credit card after you reach your destination. However, this is one of the disadvantages of using Uber in Vietnam because Vietnamese people usually use cash for purchasing stuffs instead of using those complicated card. Vehicle in Uber network has various brand names such as Toyota, Mazda, Ford, and even high class Mercedes-Benz. It is suitable for young generation, who has stable income, can experience...

...Harvey In Harvey , two scenes where the actors spoke to each other effectively and listened to each other is when Veta went to see the Dr. Lyman Sanderson. That part was realistic because people actually do need help and its normal for a doctor sometimes to be wrong about an person side of the story. When Veta went to Lyman and tried explaining what was wrong with Elwood, and explaining how she felt about the situation made the scene realistic because how she was explaining with such detail and how Lyman was listening to a certain degree. Also, in the beginning when Veta is talking with her daughter, Myrtle, about how Elwood behaves and how they are embarrassed of him. Almost every family has someone they would be embarrassed to be around and maybe be just a little bit embarrassed of. That moment down-to-earth it seemed as if it was happening right in my own house. One technical element that helped make the play Harvey more interesting was when Veta came back from the institution and her hair and clothes was messed up. In the previous scene , it was said they had to strip her down and make her take certain baths. Duane said she even struggled and fought back because she did not want to be there. When she came home and we saw her after everything happened it seemed as if it actually happened! The way she was talking as if she was exhausted, and the way she told the story which matched the story of the Duane. The connection they had in the play was excellent. Being that Harvey...

... Billy and Ryan handled most of the deserted vehicles, popping them into neutral and getting the wheels straight so that Johnny could give them a shove out-of-the-way with the Black Beast’s massive bumper. Upon approaching a Mercury Sable that needed to be moved, Ryan noticed that its occupant also needed to be dispatched. A woman in her early twenties sat in its driver’s seat, held in place by the seatbelt. She struggled mightily to free herself of the restraints wanting to grant Ryan her kiss of death, but her efforts in flailing her arms and thrashing about her legs was all in vain. She hissed and growled exuberantly with frustration. Ryan could see that her front teeth dangled by incarnadine strips of flesh after having been liberated from her jaw by the steering column. Her long blond hair looked matted crimson and brown with old, sticky, dried up blood. A cavernous wound cleaved through her skull from where her head had struck the windshield. She had her left ear bitten off at some point exposing bone that once was underneath. The spacious gash extending down the side of her face leading to several more bite marks. “Hey, Steaks!” Ryan called out. “I’ve got a young white piece for ya. She says that she’s only into Mexican Mandingos. Why don’t you come and get it while it’s still hot.” Steaks stuck his head out of the window of his Cadillac. “Why don’t you stop messing around with your hillbilly sister and finisher her off? We all wanna get...
