...Causing 1 Causing Confusion Through E-mail HPM-ORG 304 1/1/2011 Causing 2 Causing Confusion Through E-mail E-mail has become the most used communication tool on the job. Just because e-mail is used commonly, it isn’t always used well (Ronald B. Adler and Jeanne M. Elmhorst – 27). I can definitely agree with that. It is not just that it is not used well; sometimes the email is just not re-read for clarification before sending it. This can tend to cause confusion for the recipients of your email. I will give you an example of an email that I sent out that I should have written differently so that everyone receiving the email would have understood it. I recently was promoted to an Area Manager position within Wawa. I had eight stores that I was overseeing during my temporary position. These eight stores were used to our meeting process which included one of my General Managers named Ramona organizing breakfast for us. This process always worked well and everyone knew they could call Ramona if they wanted to bring something special or just to help out. This brings us up to my first meeting coming up in January. Due to my promotion, I lost three of my original stores and picked up an additional eight stores. I needed to send out an email to inform everyone of our meeting date, time and other things that they were required to bring. My intentions were to send out a brief email. The additional eight General Managers that were added to the...

...concept of discrimination that would grow up to be a renowned experience. The exercise was the result from Martin Luther King’s assassination. The documentary is an eye opening into the world of racism and discrimination. The dictionary defines racism as “a doctrine that one race is superior†and discrimination as “the denial of opportunities and equal rights to individuals and groups because of prejudice or for other arbitrary reasonsâ€. Throughout the American society and through its history you can find discrimination. The documentary shows us that discrimination doesn’t just go to the extent to the color of your skin or what your ethnicity is, but can fall into any physical characteristics, your social status, where you’re from, having a developmental disability, simple as being a woman and what not of other things, and in this case the color of your eyes. Nevertheless, we past judgment and prejudice based on these types of things where the person themselves are not accounted for. The concept that Jane Elliot is teaching us is that racism is a learned behavior and not part of the human genetic code. This coming from herself and in addition to, just as you learn something - you can unlearn something. You can unlearn racism if it has been around you and been taught the misconception that it’s the right thing. That it’s the same no matter where you are when you see discrimination and the results of it. She wants us to see through the myth of white superiority...

The survey feedback from the testers were all received and reviewed and started to compile suggestions and changes that they would like to have added to the report. Some of the suggestion are as follows: • Medicaid Number • Medicare Number • Level of Service (LOS), (RUG) • Level of Service (LOS) rate • Monthly Applied Income • Electronic Fund Transfer or Check Number In reviewing their suggestions, it was time to go back to the IT department with the suggestions and refine the prototype with the suggestion and if it was possible that we could add the information to the report without any problems on the MCO’s end. The feedback from the management team and the IT department was to generate another prototype with the suggestions and arrange it in a way that the primary end users would like to see. I started to refine the prototype with the suggestions and re-arranging the prototype to what I thought would be the easiest for me to understand and see the information....

...Explain why Britain did not intervene when Germany re-militarised the Rhineland in 1936? After World War 1, Germany was forced to sign a document known as the Treaty of Versailles. This treaty prohibited a lot of things that Germany had such as taking away land mass and reducing military size. One of the things that were banned was the ability to field a military force in the Rhineland. One of the reasons that Britain did not want to intervene when Germany re-militarised the Rhineland is that relations with Germany had improved vastly since the imposition of the Treaty of Versailles and the Locarno Treaty, with Germany not being considered a great threat to European peace despite the rhetoric of Hitler and the Nazi regime. So it would have been counterproductive to intervene when relations where getting a lot better and would possibly have led to another war. Another reason that Britain did not intervene when Germany re-militarised the Rhineland was because the British government was already following a policy of appeasement towards Nazi Germany which was started by Neville Chamberlain. He believed that following this policy which meant giving Nazi Germany what they wanted would ease them into good relations so that they would not take revenge on Britain and France, this was a very popular at the time but obviously from hindsight it did not work. Furthermore, the government shared the view with many in Britain that Germany was entitled to reoccupy its ‘own back-yard’...

...Manuel Dr. Xiongya Gao English 111 September 22, 2014 On August 29, 2005, there was a hurricane forming in the Gulf of Mexico. Her name was Katrina. It started as a small tropical storm, but as it entered the warm waters of the Gulf it grew to be a monstrous storm. So monstrous, that it would destroy anything in its path. Covering the coast lines of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. During this time, I contacted family members of their plans. We decided to head in different directions and hoped for the best. We all loaded the cars and proceeded towards the interstate. I must say traffic was really horrible. It seemed like everyone decided to leave the day before this monstrous storm hit. After driving over 6 hours, we decided to get a hotel room with no prior reservations. As we approached the entrance there was a line out the door. After speaking with the receptionist there were only two rooms available. We stayed at the Marriott Hotel in Jackson, Mississippi. It was a nice hotel that was full of staff that served complimentary snacks and drinks. My husband and I were glued to the television and knew about what was going on. As the storm approached we waited downstairs it the dining area. The weather started to get worse. The winds rose and the rain falling down hard. After returning to the room water started leaking heavily from the ceiling. Then came the horror stories. Hurricane Katrina directly impacted families by disrupting and forcing family members to adjust...

...the true story of Carly Morgan who had experienced Bulimia. As I started to read this article, I could feel how hard it is to be bulimic. During my high school year, I met a friend who was struggling with bulimic just like Carly in this article. She was one of my best buddies during my high school year so she told me a lot of troubles that she went through. I could have understood better about bulimics based on the knowledge that I acquired from my friend’s experience. This reflection will relate how I think about the bulimia. To begin with, I tried to search for the abnormal behaviors in Carly’s life. From her life, I have found many abnormal behaviors from Carly’s life. I have found her distress from her life. When she was seventh grade, her arms, legs, and stomach got fatter instead of her desirable locations. Moreover, because of these unusual growths, everyone looked at her and whispered about her. Even if I was Carly, I would get offended and stressed. The other abnormal behavior was found when she was in 8th grade. She tried to be on a diet but fails to do it due to her lack of self-control. As a result of her giving up on diet, she no longer sees boy that she had been seeing because she felt that she is not cool enough to hang out with them. This could continue to keep her from getting along with other friends and this will result in dysfunction. There is still more abnormal behavior. When she started to being bulimic, she felt gross. She continued to try and start...

...kept going in and out, promising to make me see him as soon as they?d finished all their tests to check my brain and what not. What I really wanted to know was why my belly felt weird. Like something was growing in it. It felt so awkward. I knew I wasn?t pregnant because I couldn?t be? so what the hell? Maybe they?d put metal in my belly. The more I thought about it the more things made sense. Maybe I damaged some organs and they had to be replaced. I nodded because it made sense. Some next guys walked in. They weren?t my family. I groaned. Who where these people? My question was soon answered. ?Good Afternoon, I?m Chief Inspector Jarold James from Scotland Yard?? I screwed him immediately. Police.

...was made up for German or Norwegian folks. But in 1987 things started to change for this little town. Instead of just the German or Norwegian people, they were in-golfed by Hasidic Jewish people. At the first sight of these changes the local population was upset because these new comers were not interested in taking part of the festivities of even by the type of neighbor which insisted of one stopping by and hanging out more often than an occasional time. Once these Hasidic Jews entered into the town of postville, they started to change the way of life for the local postville people. But in the process of doing so they were able to provide more jobs for people as well as a change in their economic situation. Postville was slowly turning into a worthless piece of development. Thanks to the Jews who started to make a name for postville with their production of farming getting bigger caused more visitors to come which eventually led to more families to live. With the jewish community making the economic issues better created another change in the culture diversity of Postville, Iowa. The next type of families that came is the Mexican culture. When the local community of postville consisted of Germans, Norwegians, and Jews the new Mexican style of people came across as scary people and one of criminal look to them. The first locals are becoming a new evolution with this diversity and they are still getting used to the change. Some things that the video did not show is...

...of colors filled the city where Margaret lived. Everywhere in the nature became full of aroma of romance such as flowers started to bloom, trees started getting new leaves, sky became cloudless, rivers murmured mildly, etc. Young Margaret unaware about the hardships of the world loved the beauty and pleasant atmosphere around her. The fresh flowers, the scent of them in the air appealed to her innocent personality. Now it is Fall, the season when young leaves and flowers fall from the tree. Young Margaret is sorrowful for the flowers and leaves that no longer beautify the city. The scent of flowers, the pleasant atmosphere, the fresh air, the colourful view is all lost. Atmosphere of unpleasantness and sorrow embraces the city. The sunny weather of Fall has started to wipe off the footprints of the rainy season. The muddy paths are dried up. The bogs and swamps are no more seen. The marshy-land gets dried and ditches are dried too.. Water in ponds and rivers is no more muddy. Dry brittle leaves are falling, crackling under feet as one walk into the darkened forest. Although spring and fall are two seasons but Margaret being young, innocent and unaware about the world and the conspiracies feel sad about the changes in season, although once her mind matures and cultivates she surely will understand that life is all about hardships and struggles. RE-WRITING The poem Spring and Fall is written by the poet Gerand Manley Hopkins. The poem is about a young girl...

Also, it’s hard for these activists because groups are trying to stop them; they don’t have enough help; and they could get physically or mentally hurt. Shot. Bullied. Murdered. All three of those things have happened to famous teen activists. For example, Malala Yousafzai was a normal Pakistani girl until the Taliban (a bad Pakistani group who tries to kill people and stop girls from going to school) started shutting down schools in...

...I never excelled at English in high school; but was pleasantly surprised when I mastered 3 out of 4 modules in Reading. Oddly enough though in Writing, I completely tanked. After finding out just how much I have remembered and forgotten after so long, I find I am very anxious to get started on all the topic’s contained in each module. I started my IP by setting aside time to myself each night to focus on completing the MFL Path Builders. After completing the path builders for each topic I believe it did just what it should have done. It showed me just what I need to re-learn and catch up on. I feel that this tool was made to help new students that have been out of school for a long time; succeed in their education, and give us the same chances as those students who have just gotten out of other educational programs. I was pleasantly surprised buy the tool this program has given me and my chances to get the degree in which I am working so hard to earn. This program has intrigued me so much that I have scheduled time in my weekly planner to complete a few topics twice a week. I also am going to print out the course overviews in each topic to keep for myself and to study when I feel I may be getting rusty again. While looking over the topics in the Reading path builder I had a hard time...

...is a long haired, free thinking, opinionative person. He is not afraid to stand up for what he believes in or to say what is on his mind. I asked Nick what made him want to become a musician and as he sat there at his computer with his guitar in hand, he looked at me and said “first and for most to express myself, secondly I want to make people feel the way my favorite musicians make me feel”. In order to be fulfilled in his career he has to be constantly setting goals for himself. Even if he plays an awesome show he still strives to be better. Nick is just not an average guitarist; he has broken the mold as a multitalented musician. He plays piano, harmonica, drums and he has been writing and preforming since he was a teenager. Nick started out playing guitar eight years ago. That grew and turned into a lifelong love affair with every aspect...
