...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...

...selection Our business/Idea for making a profit with using only $5,000 is to come up with a lawn care crew. Essentially having a crew you will need to have money to pay your workers so we decided that we would start off doing the work or self until we made a bigger profit and became well known for our company before we looked to expand. The start-up for Lawn care will cost roughly $3,000 which will include the cost for the mowers, trimmers, bagging, seeders, brooms and other assorted items. With all that will be able to have a successful business and also have to check on the proper license for the county that we are developing the business in because many states and county have different tax affidavit, liability insurance and state tax numbers. Recurring expenses There is a lot of upkeep when having a lawn care business. You will have to make sure you have your equipment up to date and ready for the jobs you have lined up because with no equipment there is no business. You also have to advertise your business so that will cause you to put up flyers, hand out cards, brochures or handbills will be required each spring to gain new customers. Time/energy requirements This is a rough job because of working in the sun a lot. A lot of people couldn’t see there self-doing this because of the heat or weather that is placed in the equation. There will be times where you go on a job and you will have to higher tree...

...problem in the world can be a scientific inquiry because you might have a question about it, so you are basically digging for information about the problem going on and you try to find results by using the internet, books or any source to get your answers. There will be results maybe through testing or charts will appear from studies to support the answers. A non-scientific inquiry is one that does not use a systematic collection of evidence or one that tries to find answers to questions about things other than the natural world/universe, such as beliefs. An example of everyday assumption is gender or stereotyping of what you see that what you assume this more like expectations. If women are mowing the lawn there is going to be a man that will approach you and tell you how to do things properly or what to wear in order to for you to cut the grass right. The answers will come to you without seeking them, just because she is a women it doesn’t mean that she don’t know what’s she doing it is just an assumption because of her gender. The cutting of a lawn is supposed to be a man’s job so they feel they need to say something about it. But all of this is not...

...Is It Plagiarism Yet? Discussion Questions: What are some of things that are considered blatant plagiarism? Cheating, and borrowing an unauthorized document that was not written by you. This includes coping a large section from a source without the proper punctuations/citations. When plagiarism is used, you are not giving the original owner proper credit. You are submitting documents that are not coming from your thoughts, nor were they type or written out. These words were created by someone else's thoughts. I have returned back to school to educate myself with the courses that were setup for me through the proper handling of Post University, so that I can move forward towards my goals, and career. It would be “common knowledge” for me to know that I would not learning the courses. It would be “common knowledge” for me to know that I do not deserve the credit. And that the Instructors time was wasted. What are some of the sources that require citations and references? Movies Music Advertisements Magazines T.V. Shows Newspapers In your own words, what is common knowledge? Common knowledge is knowing that if you are deliberately doing it. Using plagiarism, there are going to be consequences. You should know that you will not be receiving the grade that you think you deserve. Your Instructor would probably give you a big fat 0 grade because it will not count as your work. At Post University there has been a second, even a third occurrence. Depending...

...With the temptations that surround daily life, reflecting upon Noah’s great strength of character is a sustaining force to guide us. Even though my divine faith will not ever be as strong as Noah’s, and it is not likely that I shall ever build an ark, my faith increases with Noah as my standard bearer. We can only imagine the scorn, ridicule and contempt that Noah experienced while living in a desert and building a huge boat, yet by faith he continued. Not only was Noah uniquely righteous and possessed of strong faith, but he also was implicit in his obedience in doing what he was commanded. Many times we know what we ought to do but are remising in doing it. Not only did Noah take on the colossal of building the ark, but he wisely kept an accurate log of important events during his stay in the ark. VOISIN 2 Perhaps, to me, one of the most meaningful examples of Noah was in his implicit obedience in doing what he was commanded. Many times we shirk or cut corners in matters we know we should not do or fall short in completing the tasks. However, Noah’s example was to not only finish the task but he did more – all the days in the ark, he wisely...

...get disturbed. The trio responsible for the act never appeared to have done any wrong doings before. Though it is appearing true he has to cross check genuineness of the story narrated to him because of the sensitivity of the issue. He first needs to assure Ms. Chauhan that he will take care of the issue and stop her from reporting to the police. If Ms. Chauhan reports to police the situation will become worse. The news will not only bring down employee confidence but also affect country’s reputation in some or the other way. His future business relations will also get affected. As it is still a week before the event, he has enough time to confirm the allegations. As stated, one of the three persons was glaring at Ms. Chauhan when she went to have lunch. If the trio is doing this intentionally they will repeat it again. This could be a case of misunderstanding due to country specific culture differences. If this is the case he needs to make Ms. Chahan understand that this can happen in any hospitality profession. On the other hand, if she (Ms. Chauhan) is correct than looking at his (Me. Verma) ethical behavior it is essential for him to take action which will strengthen employee confidence towards employer. This would increase employee dedication for work when they hear about the issue. This will reflect his responsibility to protect any misbehavior when his employees are doing the job as it was the case with Ms. Chauhan. Considering the business, any hospitality service...

...With Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston, it’s always something. For multiple reasons. At times, it’s always something because there’s always something he’s doing that attracts scrutiny. At other times, it’s always something because the media scrutinizes him more closely than other young players. Regardless, anything Winston does that is remotely controversial will now become a headline. Case in point: Something Winston did on Thursday night became the top item for Richard Deitsch’s weekly sports media column. As explained by Deitsch, Winston deliberately circumvented a ping-pong arrangement between NFL Network and ESPN regarding dibs on interviewing the first pick in the draft. This year, it was ESPN’s turn to go first. But Winston decided not to let ESPN go first. According to Deitsch, Winston’s camp “was upset at the network’s overall coverage of the top pick prior to the draft.” Winston’s agent predictably told Deitsch that “it was simply our preference that his first interview be with NFL Network”; however, there’s no reason to dispute Deitsch’s reporting that Winston and company retaliated, at least a little, against the four-letter network. Winston’s agent downplayed the snub, explaining that ESPN got its interview a “few seconds later.” But the damage was done. Deitsch explains that, by the time ESPN got the interview, the draft had progressed several picks beyond Winston. So the interview wasn’t played by ESPN until after the first round ended. On one...

And my third reason is patience. So here are my three reasons on why I would not want to be an olympian. My first reason is practice. To be an olympian you have to practice a lot. Like a lot. You probably would have to practice everyday for at least 2 hours. And since the olympics happen every 4 years you would be practicing non stop for 4 years. And you would also get really tired and have to wake up early and stay up late. You would also have to balance what you eat because you would have to stay in shape. You would also want to be muscular and strong....
