...Topic: Recruiting in High Schools Thesis: Military recruiting is not any different from any other recruiting in the civilian world. Provides one thing in common opportunities for an education and carrier in the future. Possible Introduction: Recruiting in high schools can be a positive opportunity for students. There is no difference between college recruiting and military recruiting as both are trying to give high school students the best opportunities to for a successful future. Some educators and parents believe it to be a distraction from attending a traditional four year university. But, recruiting in high school provides them with other options that they might not be aware of. For instance, one of the most positive parts is that the military has a lot of educational opportunities that come free to them while they are serving their country. Main point 1: The different opportunities brought by the military for the students’ future. Sub point 1: The competition between civilian and military recruiting Sub point 2: The benefit on getting an education through the military Main point 2: Training recognition Sub point 1: All military education is recognize by the American Council for Education Sub point 2: Continuous education at no cost Main point 3: Technical training and experience Sub point 1: Ethics and discipline Sub point 2: On the job training and scenarios that can’t get in a classroom environment Possible conclusion: In conclusion the recruiting...

...English 101 Professor Hohmann April 06 2011 Air pollution Air pollution is the introduction of chemicals, particulate matter, or biological materials that cause harm or discomfort to humans or other living organisms, or damages the natural environment, into the atmosphere. Pollutants in the air are a serious environmental issue today. We as an industrial society have become far too familiar with terms like smog, radon, lead, asbestos, ozone, and carbon monoxide. We have also seen on the news, read in the newspaper, or experienced in our own lives some of the harmful consequences that result from these pollutants. Air pollution has long been recognized as a threat to human health as well as to the Earth's ecosystems. Worldwide air pollution is responsible for large numbers of deaths and cases of respiratory disease. While major stationary sources are often identified with air pollution, the greatest source of emissions is actually mobile sources, mainly automobiles. Gases such as carbon dioxide, which contribute to global warming, have recently gained recognition as pollutants by climate scientists, while they also recognize that carbon dioxide is essential for plant life through photosynthesis. Federal involvement began in 1970 with the introduction of the Clean Air Act. In the nearly 30 years it has been in effect it has undergone some changes, but the purpose has remained the same: " to establish and enforce air quality standards that protect...

...CONTRACT SHORT PAPER Contract Short Paper Christopher A. Paul Sr. Ashford University Professor Buenger late to ask about the flood problem that existed. Once we moved in, we discovered that we had septic tank problems and problems with the water flowing into the county ditch. My wife and I had many people come and look at the problem and all of them gave the same answer about adding dirt and top soil to my property. One contractor came out and told me to come around to the side of my house near the garage; he then pointed up the street and showed me how my lot was cut to be a natural drain for the whole sub-division! This made me furious but as I sat and thought about it, this whole process was my fault because I didn’t take the time and examine all aspects of home buying and land purchasing The non- breaching party may have deducted the cost or fixed the problem if I would have caught it sooner but I didn’t mention it, therefore he didn’t either. It was no need in trying to contact any legal advice because contracts were signed and the deal was done. So, to all home buyers and land purchasers; please by mindful of what you are purchasing. I also recommend that you let a person who knows what to look for, tag along with you during every aspect of the purchase. This will help you avoid the thousands of dollars I have spent “out of pocket”, trying to fix my water flow problem whereas if I knew before hand, I could have chosen to make the contractor fix...

...Identify the type of law enforcement career you are most interested in When I was younger I had always wanted to work in law enforcement, but I also carried a thing for nursing too. I actually got myself in some trouble when I was younger which had caused me to go to a girl’s home in Poplar Bluff MO, called Sierra Osage Treatment Center. When I was released from the girl’s home; my mind was made up to work with the youth and children who would needed the assistance from several things like getting trouble in school or being on drugs or many other things. . I really want to go back and work at Sierra Osage Treatment Center so I can help or even mentor the youth that are troubled, because I know firsthand what it feels like and how it is. Sierra-Osage Treatment Center is located in Poplar Bluff, MO and is one of 42 schools in Division of Youth Services School District. It is an alt. school that serves 24 students in grades 5-12. Alternative schools are public schools that offer nontraditional education for students whose needs cannot be met in a regular, special education, or vocational school. While alternative schools are distinct from regular, special education, and vocational schools in their teaching approach or classroom environment, they can provide similar services and/or curriculum for students. Alternative schools include schools for potential dropouts, residential treatment centers for substance abuse, schools for chronic truants, and schools for students with behavioral...

...UNIVERSIDAD AUTONOMA DE NUEVO LEON FACULTAD DE CONTADURIA PUBLICA Y ADMINISTRACION INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS PROGRAM Consumer Behavior Mid-term Project ‘’Sam Walton’’ Anakaren Merari Quintanilla Castillo 1525360 5Yi October 2, 2013 In this mid-term project, I will analyze an American entrepreneur born in Kingfisher, Oklahoma, known for founding two of the largest retail stores in the United States, Wal-Mart and Sam's. Speaking of business, no doubt that Sam Walton can teach us a lot, he managed to turn his junk shop, a small cotton town in northern Arkansas, in the mighty Wal-Mart the largest chain of small shops world. Sam Walton had a philosophy about ten rules, which abided, in order to become the successful businessman he was, and make Wal Mart in the company with which any entrepreneur dreams. The first is that the person engaged in the business. Believe in it more than anyone. It must pass each of the personal deficiencies for the simple passion for work. If not born with that passion, you can learn because you need it. If you like your job, you will devote every day, and will do in the best way, and before long everyone in their environment pick up on that passion, like a disease. The reason that Walton, who died at age 74 in 1992, was the most successful retailer in U.S. history 30 years after opening its first Wal-Mart is that he was also well ahead of its competitors by bringing efficiency and discipline to the world of retail. The cornerstone of...

...Christopher Nieto QI/ 361 8-14-14 Definitions Paper Wayne Diggs Definitions Paper Organizations are under a constant battle to survive. Maintaining a competitive advantage will help an organization with profitability and achieving long-term success. Innovation, creativity, and design are three processes used by organizations to maintain a competitive advantage. Innovation, creativity, and design are vital components to maintaining a competitive advantage because all are part of creating new ideas or improving on existing products or services. The concept of innovation can have several meanings dependent upon the individual or group defining the processes. Innovation consists of two components, creativity and implementation. An innovator uses a creative process to construct an idea, and then the implementation process is used to bring the idea to life. Implementation refers to putting something in place and is composed of three components; idea, selection, and development. Creativity is also a part of the implementation process, devising the idea to be implemented is part of the creative process. The implementation process should be well organized, and a plan from beginning to end should be clearly laid out. Design is thought of in numerous ways; many well-known dictionaries contain multiple definitions of design. Stam defines...

...Computer Structure and Logic Transistor Count 1917 To Present Gabriel Trotter June 19, 2015 In 2010 Intel was able to place two billion transistors on one chip. Intel called it Quad-Core Itanium Tukwila also known as 2G core. The number of transistors have significantly grown over the last Forty-three years. In 1971 there were only two thousand transistors and now in 2015 there are Seven billion transistors. So as you can see that’s an enormous jump in transistors. To me that’s a reasonable number of transistors and I think a lot of people would agree with that. If you take a look closely at the table above in the earlier years like 1971 to 1995 it looks like the growth of transistor were steady moving at a faster rate than in the later years like 1996-2015. Looks can be deceiving because if you look up “The Moore’s Law” it says that the number of transistors doubles every two years and to me that is surprisingly fast and amazing. I have a feeling that “The Moore’s Law” will continue to be used for the rest of time and if it does after doing some math my prediction would be that somewhere between 2022 to 2023 there would be one-hundred billion transistors on one chip. I even took a step further in to the future and with a little more math I predict that somewhere between 2030 to 2031 we could reach a total of one trillion transistor on one chip. If that goal is reach can you just imagine what computers could do or...

...WorldCom brought in Farrell Malone into because of a situation that Mrs. Cooper had found. Mrs. Cooper found expenditures jumping from account to account. At first Mr. Malone did not see a reason to purse an investigation, but Mrs. Cooper decided that there was further investigation needed. Mrs. Cooper looked into the report and realized that something was wrong with the reports and confronted Mr. Bobbitt about the findings. Mr. Bobbitt in the audit committee would take a look and see if the findings that Mrs. Cooper were valid. After finding that the findings were valid she then contact Mr. Farrell and he did an external investigation. After further investigation that the mid-level accounting directors Mr. Normand had confessed to just going along with what Mr. Sullivan had explained to him about the reports because he was afraid to tell anyone and wanted to resign. He was afraid that if he told anyone that he would lose his job and had a family to support. When looking at WorldCom situation it was good that the internal auditor committee took charge of the situation when it was brought to them. That was very ethical and then to have the external auditors take over to review the matter was the right step. Now the fact that you had an accountant that your CFO making false reports and switching money around is not very ethical. Not only did your CFO bring another person into the fraudulent reports, but now an external investigation has to be done and reported. There will...

I always had my dad but he was always working. So I would hang out with my uncle which was like an older brother to me. He taught me everything I know on how to survive in the streets, so he called it. I looked up to him so much that I wanted to be bad just like him. So eventually I started doing drugs at the age of twelve. I’m ashamed of what I did but that’s life, you learn from your mistakes. That’s when my spiral of bad luck started to happen. I kept doing what I wanted to do. I felt like I owned the world and no one can tell me otherwise. Living life like if every day was my last. I learned a lot from my uncle.

Teoretiska verktyg k= yx Y=k ∙x v= ΔsΔt Genomförande Först togs en lagom lång bit pappersremsa ut. Sedan förde man den runt en ”hasp” på metall cylindern. Pappersremsan fördes igenom tempografen och tempografen sattes igång. När den hade varit igång någon sekund så släpptes metallcylindern mot marken. Detta gjordes för att det ska bli en lite större punkt. Så man vet vilken som är den första. När det var gjort så börjar var femte punkt markeras på pappers remsan. Det är för att det hade tagit för lång tid att mäta mellan varje punkt. Efter det mäts mellanrummet mellan var femte punkt. På så sätt kan man se sambandet mellan hastighet och tid. Efter det så räknades viktens hastighet ut.

...Describe Today in PD1 class, we were divided into groups filled with 5 permanent members whom we will be working with for the rest of the semester. The members of each group were allocated using the team roles approach obtained from a quiz. I am a carer as a result from the quiz. We were left to form a balanced group with members from each of the five-team roles. Then, we were asked to write down individual expectations towards the subject. We also compromised our team expectations for this subject and signed a team contract consists of assessment objectives. Interpret Using this approach during this team formation will help us to recognize our own role. This creates self –awareness and ensures that we implement our strengths to advantage while handling our weaknesses as best as we can to contribute for the team (Watson & Gallagher, 2005). Martin (2005) mentioned that teamwork is a very substantial skill that workforces are seeking for because with this skill, it can help increase company efficiency and productivity. With team roles, there will a leader in each team and he/she will have to identify the team’s objective, ensuring all members understand the goal as well as helping the team stays focused on the objective. (Pope, 2008) With a clarified objective and delegation of tasks by the leader, the members are able to achieve their target more effectively. When the team has a significant role, they will be much more committed in performing. Evaluate I thought...

...Culture Change Paper Walmart is a global retailer with one of the most profitable business strategies on the planet. Walmart’s objective to offer the lowest prices to a diverse customer base has proven successful over several decades. Walmart began with a humble business model in the early 1960s. Sam Walton, original founder, wanted to provide people with the best prices possible. Sam Walton launched over a dozen locations to the public in the late 1960s. The profitable groundwork and strategy of every-day low prices spread rapidly through the next several decades. Throughout the 1990s, Walmart’s growth soared globally as they continued to facilitate a cost cutting strategy. America’s recent recession encouraged many low-income families to shop for Walmart’s low priced products. Walmart’s low prices may attract budgeting Americans, but their questionable operations are steering many others away. Walmart’s public perception is declining because of their negative organizational culture. Walmart’s employee wages are consistently below the American average, resulting in workers resorting to government aid. Discrimination lawsuits occur annually because of management’s stereotyping and poor leadership. Even Walmart’s ignorance to safe working conditions in other countries is beginning to surface in America’s media. Walmart’s leaders have attempted to address these issues, but ultimately failed to create a climate for change. Walmart’s future leadership must overcome...

...Main features of Plant Viruses and the diseases they cause Essay Viruses are small infectious pathogens, which are too small to be seen under a light microscope. However, despite their size they can cause both mild to severe illnesses. Viruses only activate inside a host cell and can affect all life forms including humans, animals, plants, and even microorganisms like bacteria and archaea. Viruses depend on the cellular system of their host for reproduction. Viruses have three main parts, which are nucleic acid, protein coat and lipid membrane. Nucleic acid is the core of a virion, which holds all the genetic information (DNA and RNA) and helps it multiply. The protein coat or capsid protects the virus by covering it and the capsid is covered by a envelope called lipid membrane. Not all viruses have the capsid and the ones that do not have the capsid known as naked viruses. Viruses are responsible for causing many plant diseases, leading to losses in crop yield and quality all around the world. Plant virology began in the 19th century when Dutch microbiologists Martinus Beijerinck and Russian researcher Dmitrii Iwanowski were investigating the cause behind a disease in tobacco (Scholthof 2001). They described an unusual agent, which caused mosaic disease in tobacco (Zaitlin 1998). There was one factor of this agent, which set it apart from other disease-causing microorganisms, and the factor was its size. It had a size smaller than all other microbes. This agent was the first...

...1. MARKETING STRATEGIES FOR GROWTH MARKETS Market Penetration _ is the measure of brand or category popularity, it is defined as the number of people who buy a specific product or brand of a category of the goods at least once in a given period and it is divided by the size of the relevant market penetration. Often managers must decide whether to seek sales growth by acquiring existing category users from their competitors or by expanding the total population of category users, attracting new customers to the market. Nando’s specialize in flame-grilled Peri-Peri chicken, it is served in quarters, halves, wholes and bufferfly breast and the price the most it is based on keeping the offering low priced to grab the maximum market share. The most obvious ways to achieve growth is by encouring existing users of the product to buy or use more of the same product, this implies a basic strategy decision, namely to get the customer to increase the frequency of use and the quantity used of the product. Promoting alternative_ Nando’s has bottled their peri-peri delicious sauces, implying that consumers can take the flavor, fire and passion of peri-peri wherever they go.
