...My Story Hi! My name is LOIS S. BALIONG. Today, I’m going to tell you my vacation in the month March to April. I think everything changes. I thought that, when school is over (or its vacation) things will be fun. All we’re going to do is to follow schedules and chores, what our mother tell us to do. Here what happened the past few days? CHORES: What a boring thing to do. This is the part were I don’t like especially mother’s around. I know we must clean, because living in a messy place in uncomfortable! But in our house, chores never stop!!! I mean, my mother always work! You know no break! Sometimes I don’t like when my mother’s around, while we are working. If we make mistakes, she will shout at us. Sometimes she shouts at me in front of the carpenters who work in our little house. “Lois! Use your common sense! You must know how to work, for there will be the day that your father and I, will be gone in this world, and you don’t know how to work, what will become of you!” Uh!!! How many times did I hear that word, ‘work’, that is so embarrassing! I always murmur in working. I know its bad, but I can’t take it anymore. Can she please take a break? I hope that my mother will stop murmuring in one day! Just one day? You know what; I really feel it, truly, inside my heart that they don’t love me. Just like on April 13, 2009, my bigger sister told my mother to buy a NARNIA book, my mom nod. Then when I say to buy a Nancy Drew Book, she just ignores it. Well I...

...I: Introduction I. A: Rationale/Motivation Over the past two decades, cross-border or international mergers and acquisitions (IM&As) have become the favored method of foreign direct investment (FDI). The form shows that IM&As go both ways: toward developing countries and from them, reshaping the world’s economic boundaries. Trends notwithstanding, researchers suggest that, overall, the expected financial benefits of M&As are often not recognized. The highest rate of failures has been linked mainly to the fact that “M&As are still designed with business organization and financial fit as primary conditions, leaving psychological and cultural issues as secondary concerns”. While as new countries start out into the free-market economic system, paying attention to cultural factors in IM&As is becoming essential. The wider cultural gap and the current trend of IM&Asbetween developed and developing countries increases the urgency of understanding the effects of civilization on the dynamics of IM&As and on issues such as corporate organization and local adaptation strategy. The present research is designed in response to this shortcoming. It examines the effects of culture on the outcome of IM&As and the variability of these effects during the different phases of an IM&A. The research focuses on the international aspect of cultural conflicts—the differentiating factor between domestic mergers and acquisitions (M&As) and IM&As. It measures success from an organization’s internal...

...The Ballad of Greene Henry Graham Greene was born on October 2, 1904 in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire. The fourth of six children, Greene was a shy and sensitive youth. He disliked sports and was often truant from school in order to read adventure stories by authors such as Rider Haggard and R. M. Ballantyne. These novels had a deep influence on him and helped shape his writing style. The recurring themes of treachery and betrayal in Greene's writing stem from his troubled school years where he was often tormented for being the headmaster's son. After several suicide attempts, Greene left school one day and wrote to his parents that he did not wish to return. This culminated in his being sent to a therapist in London at age fifteen (Greene). His analyst, Kenneth Richmond, encouraged him to write and introduced him to his circle of literary friends which included the poet Walter de la Mare. In 1978 Greene gave Professor Norman Sherry a map that marked the spots he traveled to (Greene). Sherry spent 20 years retracing Greene's journeys, not without suffering. He contracted diseases from diabetes in Liberia, gangrene of the intestine, to temporary blindness. He won the Edgar Allan Poe award for Best Critical/Biographical Study in for Volume I of The World of Graham Greene.(Graham Greene) After graduating with a B.A. in 1925, Greene was employed as a subeditor at the Nottingham Journal after two abortive positions at other companies. His dislike of Nottingham's...

Many people had many injuries during this time. The matches for fist fighting were based in and around the countryside’s.

They were later revised in 1853, the twelve rules were; To be a fair stand up boxing match fight in a twenty four foot ring, or as near that size as possible. No wrestling or hugging was allowed or it was also called clinching. The rounds for the match must be three minutes long and one minute rest between each round. If either of the boxers falls through weakness then they must get up unassisted and have only ten seconds to be allowed for him to do so. The other fighter must then return to his corner and wait to see if the fallen fighter gets back up to his feet and is able to resume and...

...only when it is needed, and only in the amount that it is needed.”) concept created and developed by Kiichiro Toyoda, the founder and second president of Toyota Motor Corporation. Waste was seen as excess inventory in some cases, irrelevant processing steps in other cases, as well as defective products too. All these “waste” elements interlinked with each other to create more waste, which eventually impacted on the corporation itself. The automatic loom invented by Sakichi Toyoda didn’t just only automated work which used to be performed manually but also built the capability to make judgements into the machine itself. In turn this eliminated both defective products and the associated wasteful practices. Sakichi successfully succeeded in tremendously improving both productivity and work efficiency. Kiichiro Toyoda inherited this philosophy and set out to realise his belief that “the ideal conditions for making things are created when machines, facilities, and people work together to add value without generating any waste.” He developed methodologies and techniques for eliminating waste between operations between both lines and processes. The result was the Just-in-Time method which was helped by Taiichi Ohno, who created the basic framework for the Just-in-Time method. By ensuring thorough implementation of jidoka...

I am 17 years old and born in Maryland on December 22, 1995. I have attended Northern Nash High School for the past four years. My goal in life is to go into the Air Force or the Army. I would like to go in as a Military Police (MP). At a young age, I was inspired to working with law enforcement. What inspired me was my mother working with the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI), aunt working in the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), uncle working with the Department of Defense, and my grandfather being a Military Police. The topic I decided to do was “The History of the Air Force.” This was an important topic to me because I have always wanted to go into the Air Force. The Air Force has always been very interesting to me. I am just so excited in the way the Air Force protects our country. When I started doing my investing on the Air Force, is when I began learning how the Air Force really operated. When doing my research paper on the air force, I used the websites of www.airforcee.com ,www.airforcehistory.com and www.military.com. My paper will be a connection to enrich young minds on the things they would like to know about the Air Force. Someone who wants to enlist in the Air Force could learn the ins and outs of the Air Force. The Capstone Project experience...

...2009, SIE purchased the utilities system serving neighboring Mitchell County. This expansion concerned Judy. The company workforce had increased by 30 percent the previous year, and Judy had struggled to recruit enough qualified job applicants. She knew that new expansion would intensify the problem. Judy is particularly concerned about meter readers. The tasks required in meter reading are relatively simple. A person drives to homes served by the company, finds the gas or electric meter, and records its current reading. If the meter has been tampered with, it is reported. Otherwise, no decision-making of any consequence is associated with the job. The reader performs no calculations. The pay was $8 per hour, which was high for unskilled work in the area. Even so, Judy had been having considerable difficulty keeping the 37 meter reader positions filled. Judy was thinking about how to attract more job applicants when she received a call from the human resource director, Sam McCord. “Judy,” Sam said, “I’m unhappy with the job specification calling for only a high school education for meter readers. In planning for the future, we need better-educated people in the company. I’ve decided to change the education requirement for the meter reader job from a high school diploma to a college degree.” “But, Mr. McCord,” protested Judy, “the company is growing rapidly. If we are to have enough people to fill those jobs we just can’t insist that college graduates get paid to do such...
