...Bad News Message – David S. Moody From: David S. Moody, Sales Manager, Easy To Be Green To: Construction Manager, Greenfield Community College Date: 3 August 2015 Ref: Change in location of Venting Apparatus Sir and/or Ma’am, Here at Easy to Be Green, we pride ourselves on being the leader in installing energy efficient heating, cooling, and insulation systems. And since these systems are custom designed to meet you, the customer’s request, it involves a variety of Sub-contractors. And with this in mind there are time limits as to when we can make changes in the design. This morning one of my sales team, Chris, came to me with this problem, and I am writing to you so I can explain the reason as to why we will be unable to change the location of the venting apparatus, that you have requested. I understand that you had written to Chris requesting this change to accommodate a change in the campus’s overall design plan. There are two reasons as to why this Change cannot be accomplished; 1. There is a zoning restriction on this kind of Vent. I do understand that it is not widely enforced, but I feel as one of the leaders in this industry that it would not be beneficial for us to disregard this restriction. 2. Your request has come in late and there is only 1 month left before installation of the vents. This late addition was quoted to add $5000 dollars to the price of the contract. It is not practical for us to deviate from the written agreement. And therefore...

...November 3, 2015 Scott Rowan Alpha Kappa Psi Treasurer 40 Stratford Ave. Cincinnati, OH 45221 Dear Mr. Rowan: Thank you for your interest in staying at the Panama City 100 over your upcoming spring break. The Panama City area has a lot of exciting developments happening right now and in upcoming months. After a few unfortunate experiences at our hotel, a strict policy against accepting reservations from student groups was put into place. Without the normal amenities that a resort hotel might have such as a tiki Hut, DJ or lazy river, we have sought to cater strictly to business professionals and over-night travelers. Due to this strict policy, we are unable to provide your student group with the fifteen double rooms that you have requested. Although our hotel is unable to accommodate college students, it would be a pleasure to keep in contact for any future inquires you may have as a business professional later on. If you are still interested in visiting Panama City Florida, there are many other resorts in the same area as our hotel which I believe would provide you with a wonderful stay. The Palms Resort sits directly on Panama City Beach and includes free parking, WiFi, and a daily complimentary breakfast. There is also a tiki bar which provides refreshments and cocktails next to the ocean-view pool. Regardless of your final destination, I hope that you have an excellent Spring Break. I look forward to hearing from you for any inquiries...

Manassas, VA 20110 October 25, 2012 Josh Carter 231 Liberty Avenue Manassas, VA 20110 Dear Mr. Carter: Pet Friendly Restaurant Policy Our motto at IHOP is “Come Hungry, Leave Happy”. It is not just a saying but also an idea that we hope is validated with each one of our customers. We take pride in satisfying our customers and in making their dining experience with us a pleasurable one. IHOP constantly listens to each customer when it comes to implementing change in our services and restaurants. Your suggestion of converting our facility into a pet friendly restaurant has been discussed in our most recent board meeting. The idea of allowing your pets to join you in our restaurants poses some concerns that were addressed. Sanitation concerns were at the top of our list as it relates to the pet hair and potential fleas, ticks and other diseases that our four legged friends can be carrying. In addition, we must take into consideration all of our customers needs and the fact that some may have allergies and/or be afraid of animals. While we want to improve your dining experience as well, we have to cater to the dining experience of everyone and make the best decision for the majority of our customers. Based upon these concerns, we are unable to accommodate your request to become a pet friendly facility. However, during our board meeting, we did take some time to compose a proposal to submit to our corporate office to invest in adding...

...Because ads always use some good ideas to get people’s attention, it can teach children how to think about something in other ways. Secondly, children can see the world’s changes in the ads; ads can make children easy to receptive a new thing. On the other hand, advertisements have negative impact too. Ads can make the children get hooked on expensive brand name. They will spend a lot of money to buy something that they don’t need; they will emphasize brand logo when they select goods. Maybe they will forget make a plan on how to spend money. In addition, ads also give the children a un healthy lifestyle. Every company never says their product is bad for people in their message. Children don’t have a good recognition capability to know what true is. They will like junk food, game console and luxury. These are bad for children grow up. In my opinion, we have to take some measures to protect our younger generation from being exploited. We should use more times to let they know what concept is true, and we have to set ourselves an example to them. In conclusion, I believe ad’s impact in the conversion of our concept. If children know how to learning benefit from ads, I think we can take it easy....

...Explanation of Title Is the title of the book “Detour for Emmy” a good or bad title? Why or why not? On my perspective the title “Detour for Emmy” is good title for this amazing book. The reason being is because everything Emmy goes threw is like a detour for her from start to ending. Emmy went threw a lot from being a regular teenager to being a mother at teenager years. Emmy had to change her goals and her dreams because of on little mistake that happened. But that didn’t stop Emmy from being the best she could be. She continued her life but down another path because she had another life to take care of besides her own. Being a single parent for Emmy was hard because she didn’t have Art there to help her or be there for Rosie. This was another big detour for Emmy because she thought that Art would’ve been a little bit more of a father and help to Rosie and her but he wasn’t. Everything to Emmy was a big disappointment to her in her life but she would just take another turn to make things better for her. Life for Emmy was full decisions to make either she took one path or she took another. Usually one was the difficult path because she either had to give something up she didn’t have the help. She would always have to take the path she knew would be easier for her and would help her with Rosie. “Detour for Emmy” was a very good title for this book as I explained the things Emmy had to go threw and the detours she had to make because of a little mistake that happened...

...English assignment ’Section A’ 1. Write a summary of "Bad stress, good stress" in about 150 words. Text two. Bad stress, good stress by Sacha Bonsor is an article that deals with the issue of coping with stress. Stress is your body's way of responding to any kind of demand, it can be caused by both good and bad experiences.

...Should youth 11 years old and younger be exposed to competition, i,e, scoring? Competition can be good for children. It can help children develop healthy attitudes about winning and losing. Children are not born with the natural urge to compete. This is a learned skill and behavior. Competition usually starts at about five years old. Competition can encourage growth and push a child to excel. Competition can also be very rough for a young child. There must always be a winner and a loser, but young children sometimes just can’t deal with losing. The question is, can a young child handle defeat and at what point do you no how much a child can take? Losing is a serious business, especially for a child who really wants to win. Winning, losing, or playing against others has little or no meaning for children under the age of seven. They are more concerned about the rules of the game and how the games are played. They often break the rules, because they can’t remember .By the age of eight, children can follow rules and understand what it really means to win or lose. In 2001, a survey was conducted by Sports Illustrated for kids. The survey found that seventy percent of children quit organized sports by the tender age of thirteen. They said that they were no longer having fun. Often this happens because referees, coaches, and parents are continued more caught up in the competition than the children. The focus should not primarily be on winning or...

...Globalization in Business Donovan Chase PHL/320 12/22/2014 Bridget Peaco Globalization in Business Is globalization good or bad for your business? (1, premise) Globalization is viewed as either good or bad depending on your particular situation. For example, if you are an emerging growth industry, globalization represents a significant opportunity to access broader geographic markets, to accelerate growth and expand your business. (1, conclusion) However, if your business is an industry that has imploded due to the onslaught of global competition, or you have suffered a job loss due to downsizing or outsourcing you probably have a very negative view on globalization being good for business. Is Globalization “Good” Before we can decide what is good we need to have a definition of “good” as it relates to our topic. According to "Merriam Webster" (2014), Good is defined as something that is right or good. Something that has economic utility or satisfies an economic want. An example of good in the way we are defining it is the difference between good and bad. I personally feel that globalization is not good for the business of America. (2, premises) Globalization takes jobs away from people in the United States which raises the unemployment rate. (2, conclusion) Therefore, negatively impacting our economy. Workers can often be forced into accepting worsening...

...What does Kant mean by "good without qualification"? Obviously people try to seek and avoid many different sorts of things; those things which they seek they call "good," while those they try to avoid, they call "bad". These "goods" which people seek may be divided into those which are sought as means to some further end and those which they seek as good as ends in themselves. Obviously some things may be "good" as means to one end and "bad" as means to some other end. Different persons, motivated by different ends, will thus find different things "good" and "bad" (relative to their different ends). More food is "good" to a starving man, but it is "bad" to one overweight. In order for something to be good "without qualification" it must not be merely "good" as means to one end but "bad" as means to some other end. It must be sought as good totally independently of serving as a means to something else; it must be "good in-itself." Furthermore, while one thing may be good as means relative to a particular end, that "end" becomes a "means" relative to some other "end". So a college diploma may be sought as "good" as a means for the end of a higher-paying job. And a higher-paying job may be "good" as a means to increased financial security; and increased financial security may be "good" as a means to obtaining the necessities of life as well as a few of its luxuries. However, if we seek A only for the sake of B, and B only for the sake of C, etc., then there is never a justification...

...interaction and integration among the people, companies, and governments of different nations, a process driven by international trade and investment and aided by information technology. This process will have an effect on the environment, government, culture, prosperity and the well being of humans in a worldwide society. The market economy is affected by globalization in several ways: Governments tend to want work together more if the overall benefits will help their own country. More culture is represented when more companies are allowed to come into new markets. This in turn helps the country and local communities start to grow and prosper. By having a worldwide globalization it will tend to lead to more good but it will also lead to bad things that some are not willing to address. The opportunities that come from globalization are: environmental impact. This impact on the environment can be two things one the good that one sees in the environment everywhere and tries to preserve it, the other is uses the land to mass produce items thus having runoff, pollution that will negatively affect the environment. The other is governments will now want to be allies for the benefit of wealth and protection from other countries. This in turn can drag any country into wars that they do not want to be a part. Prosperity for the rich an entrepreneur will love the new global market they can expand and have cheap labor produce goods to sell to other countries. Culture will also become and...

...It is very difficult to differ between the good and bad aspects of internet. There are good and bad things about every service of the internet. If you chat you can meet many interesting people which come from all over the world. Distance is not important any more. You can meet people which are not able to find friends in reality because of their appearance. In cyberspace there is no appearance - the character of a person counts. But you also can meet people, who cheat on you and fool you. That can be funny, but it is not if you want to meet “real”, devine friends. Sometimes, if you meet your online friends it can be very thrilling. You make your own picture of your chat-partner in your mind. And what about your friends in reality? There will be less time left for them, if you sit in front of the PC all the day. But there is also the possibility to make your real friends your online-friends. Searching for information you will find a huge amount of it on every topic you are searching for. This can be very comfortable. You only have to type in a word and you will find everything about it. But be careful! There is also false information. Sometimes it is hard to distinguish between true and false information. Often you have the possibility to listen to music on the internet. You may also download it for free. That is very cheap because you only have to pay the telephone-costs and the music is for free. What does that mean for the musicians? They will not get all their money...
