...FINDER I love the idea of using the Greek word for Finder as the main character’s name… maybe that could even work into the title? The headlines are talking. They say that there are only an estimated 6000 Followers left worldwide and about 10 percent of them may be found in North America. China claims to have wiped them out altogether, while India believes that they can be rehabilitated. Those headlines were from two days ago blaring through my Blue Tooth and YAHWEH alone knows how many of us are left. But after 80 - 100 years of persecution, since the Government’s war on the Followers, we’ve learned how to hide in plain sight. It takes a lot more money living in The Cities than in the communes where I was raised. But after they found our camp, about forty people strong, maybe 34 of us all told were BORNAGAINSAVED. The others were people we’d find on the road hungry, alone, broken; designated appointments from YAHWEH – well after they found our camp . . . well, I’ve been living in cities since then. They called us something else then, but the name has been lost. Now they just call us walking dead or religious trash. Either way it’s all the same. If they catch us, then it’s the Big Show: no ifs, ands, or but’s. Even on the news feeds, we’re “they,” or “suspects,” or “fanatics” and never our names. We’re the nameless ones. That’s how we can tell true Followers from the government plants they keep sending us. You can tell by the scars we carry. Many of us grow our hairs...

There Abby stirs and sits up, “Mommy I got to see the waves and there is no rain.” Abby yawns and stretches, she brushes the hair back from her eyes, “That is good Pete’.” Her son smiles as she wraps him in her arms. “You can shower. The cook is preparing our breakfast as we speak, it will be ready soon.” Pettigrad hands Abby two pills and a glass of water. She shows no hesitation as she takes them. Pete’ goes to a small linen drawer and gets a large white bath towel. “Here Mommy.” He says as he runs the short distance back to her, “I am fast, huh?” “Yes Baby you...

As you know, our organization has been experiencing the decrease of public funding and donations over the past two years. Due to the various budget-cutting measures, we can no longer keep you as Junior Project Assistant in our organization. We regret doing this terribly, but we have no other option. Over the next three months, we will start eliminating our workforce from 20 employees to 15 employees. We deeply appreciate the loyalty of our employees. However, we believe that loyalty is a two way street. Therefore, we have decided to retain our workforce with the greatest amount of seniority and experience. Although you have only worked here for six months, you are a very talented project assistant with your efficient work performance. I feel confident that you will find another suitable position in the near future. Within this week, a representative from Human Resources Department will contact you for a meeting. During this meeting, you will discuss further employment opportunities and learn about your separation benefits. Also, an outplacement firm will provide you counseling and assistance...

...this conflict, but one individual is most guilty of causing this chaotic event. The main character, Abigail Williams, is to blame for the trials because of her deep love for John, her horrible childhood, and her unstoppable drive to protect herself. Throughout the play, Abigail’s lies and accusations caused a great number of people pain and suffering, although she never seemed to care about any of them except for the man she had an affair with prior to the play, John Proctor. Elizabeth, John’s wife, eventually found out about the affair being had and John expressed to Abigail the affair was to be ended. Although she worked very hard to rekindle the relationship being had, john stated “Abby, I may think of...

...2/5/2014 Bohan li, Bank Investment Manager China Construction Bank To the Dear Abby, I write this letter to you as a humble request. I earnestly request you to hand over the main document to those interested employees, who are sincerely interested to pursue investment banking as a career. This document would be highly valuable for these enthusiastic workers. The profession of investment banking entails great power as well as responsibilities. It is true that employees, who get a chance to work under such a prestigious designation, would surely earn more. However, duties and tasks to be borne by such a professional are also very complex and critical. The main document contains all detailed information regarding this profession. After studying this document, the interested employees or individuals would be able to assess the value and worth of the profession. There would surely be some individuals who would withdraw themselves from taking up this profession. This does not imply that the main document upholds and demands certain aspects, which would discourage the interest of these individuals. They would probably back out owing to the fear or dislike towards activities that are necessary for a professional in the banking sector. Nonetheless, there would surely be a large number of individuals, who would strengthen their self-belief and courage, after reading this document. At the end, I am definite that you will only win those professionals who are capable of realizing...

Another urban legend is about “Kentucky Fried Rat”. It’s about a woman did not have anything ready for supper, so she and her husband went to KFC drive through to get the meal.

...Running Head: LETTER of ADVICE Advice for a New Couple Jean VanDyke COM: 200 Interpersonal Communication Teresa Plummer September 16, 2013 Dear Nora and Lou, How to talk to an engaged couple If they were real close friends and I knew that what I would say to them would make them listen and hear me, this is what I would tell them. Identify the barriers to effective interpersonal interactions. If you do not talk about the things that are important to you at the beginning of your relationship, you will find yourself starting to resent the other person. Most people will just go along with what the other person wants to do or says until all at once they just explode. Then it is usually too late, and the words cannot be taken back. If you refuse to communicate or just keep quiet about what is bothering you, it will definitely hurt your lasting relationship. Playing games with each other is also not the way to go. If you are going to commit to each other, then by all means be only with that person. So many people will tell the person that they love them and only want to be with them, and then something happens that makes one or the other mad, and the next thing you know one or both of them are out with someone else. This is not the way to communicate. More than likely there will never be the trust they once had. There are three reasons why there is trouble in any relationship:” (1) silence or refusing to communicate; (2) placating, which...

Diageo was in charge of an expanding and wide-ranging collection of brands, some of which had broad appeal across many countries while others had more regional appeal, sometimes limited to just a few markets. The challenge: After both organic growth and acquisitions, three key dilemmas emerged by 2002. First, how to manage brands with significantly different appeal, such as Guinness, a brand with strong Irish roots but huge global appeal, or Buchanan’s, the leading Scotch whisky in Latin America. Second, how to rejuvenate tired brands and third, how to improve the market share of the most successful brands, such as Captain Morgan, J & B, Smirnoff and Johnnie Walker. The initial strategy: To help managers maintain focus and allocate resources, Diageo developed three brand classifications: global priority, local priority and category. The global priority brands were the big sellers that were...
