...The most important part about this article Women in Business Life by Jane F Gardner is the fact that it shows hard carved evidence showing how women interacted in the business world. The tablets show women interacting in businesses in the following ways, lending money, borrowing, recovering debts and going to law in pursuit of claims, on behalf of either themselves or their clients. The tablets show and prove that women were used in business and had the same rights as the men did. Theses wooden wax tablets do not have enough evidence to support the idea that men or women were used more for business transactions and there is no other way to know unless someone today builds a time machine to go back and find the truth. But women in society were just at a lower social standing then men were. For instant when it came to witnesses for wills men would much more likely oblige each other. There were two emerging patterns in all of the receipt tablets that were shown in this article. First a declaration by the contractor that his client had acknowledged receipt of the proceeds of the auction which he had promised to pay. Second if the creditor is a man on a receipt tablet either a first person statement in writing that he had gotten his payment, or one written in third person on his behalf was written. If the creditor is a women on the receipt tablets then always a statement always written on her behalf and never a first person declaration. This shows social order again in the society...

...Introduction We all have wondered why dogs get eye boogers and what the cause is behind these really weird and gross things our dogs eyes produce on a daily. Well I will tell you research was not the easy but I think I have the basics of what goes on with these eye boogers. WHY DOGS GET EYE BOOGERS In most breeds it is a very common thing to have eye boogers or runny eyes, such as dogs with a lot more fluff on them. Also cocker spaniels, bulldogs, west highland white terriers, and shih tzus . The dogs could also have allergies. Wait!! Allergies? Yes, allergies. Dogs can have allergies, the allergies also make your dog's skin itchy. Some dogs have more discharge than others because some have allergies just like some humans have allergies but not all do,allergies also cause...

...“If I die, Booger’s gonna die. And if Booger dies, I’ll die.” When I departed on an Appalachian Service Retreat, I expected to see people living in poverty. I expected to feel sad and compassionate for the people I help. I didn’t expect to meet a man named Jeffrey so excited to have company, and his best friend Booger. On our first day of work, we saw a dilapidated house that seemed like it had the potential to be better on the inside, but that was not what we found; the whole reason for his moving was because the floor was caving in. We began moving chairs and tables out of the house and saw bugs on the floor and a cushion that a rat had chewed through. In the beginning, we didn’t talk much. It was as if the other girls and I silently agreed to not talk about what we saw. I’ve seen news stories about people living in poverty and learned about it in school and known it was there, but this was the first time I have seen it first-hand. I was four hours away from my suburban town, but it felt like I could be on a whole different planet. Once the pick-up truck was filled, we drove to Jeffrey’s new house. I was expecting...

...Reflection Paper Hanjing Kong 11/1/15 Emily Murphy Bus X103 Reflection Paper: Cats Haven Nowadays, as the quality of people’s life getting higher, keeping a pet as a company at house start to become a popular trend in this society. However, a lot of people who buy pets later decide it is an inconvenience and get rid of them. Pet abandonment becomes a huge problem worldwide. There are countless millions of cats and dogs put to death every year, simply because people want to breed more pure blood pets, or just because they are not able to survive after they got abandoned. Majority pets got abandoned will have their lives forcefully ended feeling terrified, alone and unloved. Statistics worldwide shows that there are around six hundred million pets every year and many countries have extremely cruel animal overpopulation controls. Luckily, there are still groups of kind people in this world who would provide abandoned pets shelters, food, and love selflessly. I have always wanted to volunteer in an animal shelter, but it is quite difficult because volunteering at animal shelters usually requires several months of training and classes which my schedule doesn’t allow me to participate. After surfing on the Internet for 3 hours, I found Cats Haven. Cats Haven is Indianapolis’s oldest non-profit, no-kill, free-roaming feline sanctuary. It has been serving the Central Indiana community by specializing in care for special needs and elderly felines for over 25 years...

...Childhood is simplicity. A casual lifestyle where a kiss made a “boo boo” go away, a booger tasted like heaven, and the ice cream man was a god. Childhood isn’t a time full of mistakes, adolescence, and immaturity. Children are intellectual beings with extreme powers of persuasion. During your childhood you are surrounded by your loyal servants. Also known as parents and relatives, they slave to get you anything you want. You’re a king. Your miserable adult parents feed you; take you places, and what the hell they even wipe your ass for a good period of time. Childhood includes having flawless blemish-free skin that glows in the shining sun. You can eat anything you want without gaining a pound. You’re actually cute, and that can be used...

...Internet Assignment 1 Marketing Strategy Analysis Wendy Willard Genesee Community College A high-profile service called Games2U claims to be “America’s #1 Provider of Mobile Entertainment!” G2U (2013,) Games2U brings entertainment to the customers’ place of choice. They have ten separate experiences and price by piece of equipment you schedule to rent, and how long you would like your event. The mobile gaming industry is relativity new and upcoming field. Games2U has an extensive marketing strategy. Games2U was premiered on them on Shark Tank and I found the experiences they were showing something I would love to promote or start a franchise in. They really have used the marketing concept. It is obvious that the social and economic justification for Games2U’s existence is satisfying the customer’s wants. The pieces Games2u rent are fun and each has it’s own characteristics. Their product is an experience guided by the theme/piece the customer would like to rent. My favorite piece is the life size robot you get into and control. It is 7 feet tall and you use joystick controls to move it around. It changes your voice with a voice synthesizer so you can talk with a robot voice. It also gives you the control of a fog machine that pours out fog all around the Ubot. Some of the Ubots have tennis ball launchers as arms. The one on Shark Tank had the launchers and it was even fun to watch. The Ubots have to be one of Games2U’s stars because it is a fast-growing...

...Working for McDonald's is often portrayed as an undesirable job. In primary school, my math teacher told us that if we did not learn division, we would end up “flipping burgers at ‘Booger King’ or mopping floors at McDonald's.” She is not alone in her negative stereotype of McDonald's. In 2003 the Merriam-Webster Dictionary added the term “McJob,” defining it as a “low paying job that requires little skill and provides little opportunity for advancement." This negative perception of McDonald's is not consistent with the facts. The Darden case study reports on p. 3 that McDonald's defies industry norms, paying wages that are often better than the industry average and offering many employee benefits. For example, McDonald's designed incentives to encourage employees to participate in health insurance and 401(k) retirement programs, and pioneered several types of "flex-time." The company is a leader in employee training programs to develop and retain workers, founding "Hamburger U" in 1961. The company also uses a promote-from-within strategy, with 40% of executive officers beginning as entry-level crewmembers. Overall, McDonald's corporate strategy is to be the world's best "quick service" food provider by focusing on its stakeholders. In order to be successful, the company must deliver excellent products and service to customers; develop, retain and motivate employees and local suppliers; deliver profit to shareholders; and contribute to the community. The company wishes...

...The Ballad Of Babby Bobby Babby Bobby was a lonely child. His parents ignored him except to scold him for being too lazy, too stupid and too slow. His father had once beaten Babby Bobby for playing in the tool shed, Babby Bobby had to be taken to the emergency room because he kept coughing up blood and had received another beating for causing such fuss. School was no better, at school the other children would put frogs in his desk because they scared him and wiped boogers on his jacket. The teachers never chose him to answer questions even though his hand was always first in the air. Babby Bobby was really very bright but no one noticed. The only people that noticed a thin, shy child like him were the bullies. His days were dark but his nights darker still, Babby Bobby would dream the most terrible dreams, dreams of blood and heat and falling, always falling deeper and deeper through the earth. One morning in early spring Babby Bobby was walking to school when he found a shell. Normally he wouldn't have picked up anything from the floor (his father had beaten him often for picking up things from the floor) but this shell shone in the sun, it sang and danced before his eyes. It was the most beautiful thing Babby Bobby had ever seen. All the way to school his hand would slip into his pocket to stroke the shell with the tips of his fingers. It made his whole body shake at the touch and he swore that this was his and no one else’s. All the pain and the loneliness and the loss...

...“No Mirror, No Problem” I set out to change something about myself. Now, believe me, this is much easier said than done. Especially if you’re someone like me that has a million and one things you’d like to change about yourself, and you’re in denial about pretty much all of them. It’s like picking a meal off a menu that you hate everything on. Though, after some reflection, I thought up something interesting and seemingly challenging. That’s where my journey began. I was walking around my house trying to think up some little things I could do or stop doing, when I found myself looking in the mirror. Just sitting there blindly staring at myself while trying to come up with something. Selfish, I know. Then I thought, “I look in the mirror way too much. Why do I look in the mirror so much? My eyebrows look like shit. THAT’S IT!” There it was, the center of all my problems. I’m the most self-critical person I’ve ever known and I think it all relates back to my image, sadly. In that moment of realization, I was a genius and I had just came up with the best, most relative idea ever. I decided what I’d do; I would not look in the mirror for two weeks. I was extremely excited to start for some strange reason. I couldn’t wait, really. Right after I had my epiphany, I ran to the hall closet, dug out an old sheet, and hung it up over the big mirror in my bathroom. I also turned around the unnecessarily large mirror I have in my hallway; it stands right across from my bedroom door...

...Theater Today Matthew King How to See a Play 6/4/07 Fusion I have to say that overall I really enjoyed Performance Fusion. The physical theater was small, but much larger than the last show that we saw at Impact. After our first tour of the small theater, I didn’t know what to expect of a play there. My first impression of the small theater was that it was very bare, dark and small, so it was interesting to see the stage with sets and actors illuminated by the lights. Since the theater was small, the actors were easy to see. I also want to comment on the sound. I thought the acoustics in this theater were just mediocre. Although the theater is small and about the same size as the Ashby Stage, the actors were a bit more difficult to hear, although the microphones did help quite a bit. I thought most of the performances were great; however I enjoyed some of them better than others. My favorites were The Boogeyman, Rhythms in the Veins, and Playwriting 101: The Rooftop Lesson. I really enjoyed the way Boogeyman began. First off, the play opened with the heavy sounds of hard rock/metal band Godsmack, and then followed by a scary story by from the older brother to his little brother Timmy. During his scary story, I really liked the effect that the flashlight gave along with the strobe flashes that simulated lightning. I also liked the sound effects that were used in the play. For example I thought the creaky door was a good effect. I thought the set...

...Shalise Edwards November 30, 2014 Dr. J. Jones ENG 348 Analysis of Sula by Toni Morrison Sula by Toni Morrison was a very interesting and enlightening literary work. Morrison has relayed a message of good versus evil in the novel involving the main characters, Sula and Nel. Nel was portrayed as the good character, while Sula was depicted as the evil character. In the life of Sula, there was good in her situation because she seemed to shed some light on the readers. She was instructive to the readers because of the destruction that took place in her life. Personally speaking, a reader would side with Nel because of all the good she seems to portray, but she was not always perfect. Nel found herself in mirrors looking at her nose in disgust because her mother, who was so upright and orderly, did not like her nose. Her nose reminded her mother, Helene, of the broadened nose her husband genetically passed down to his daughter. In her childhood, she convinced herself that she liked herself just as she was. For example, Nel stated “I’m me,” several times until she drifted off to sleep. She made this statement to help herself realize at an early age that she can be no one but herself. Throughout the novel, Nel convinces herself she is fine, or good just as she is; no one had the ability to tell her otherwise. When Nel and Sula became best friends, they were “one.” Secretly, Nel desired to be a part of Sula’s household because of the disorder and numerous families that lived within...
