...I’m Maekyn Turkeyleg, and I’m a turkey on a farm. I was talking to my elderly grandfather. We were talking about how the leaves are changing colors and soon the humans, the most disgusting creatures to live, will come. My grandfather and I are planning a way to live through this horrible season. What I didn’t know was that I was never going to see my family again. Out of the corner of my eye, as I’m talking to my grandfather, I see a human, and I start running, but I didn’t run fast enough. The human had a net, and my head got stuck, and today I knew I was never going to see my family again. I’m in the back of a truck with a few other turkeys, but I’m the best looking out of them. Then I blacked out of nowhere. I wake up to a human argueing...

...Ariana Trask 4/28/2014 Storytelling from a childs point of view. Christmas Vacation When I was on vacation my family did lots of things. We went skiing and tubing. We made big snowmen, and had lots of snowball fights. My big brother helped me make a snow fort. It’s awesome! I can stand up inside it cuz it’s so big! My grammy and grampa came and stayed with us for Christmas. I love when they come visit, grammy always brings lots of candy and presents and grampa tells the funniest stories. I got so much cool stuff for Christmas. Santa brought me a doll house and lots of dolls with a car and lots of furniture for it. Mommy and daddy got me clothes, art thingys, a baby doll that actually goes potty, and a bunch more. Mommy gave me a special necklace. It’s called a locket. It’s a heart and opens, and there’s picture of our family inside it. It’s so pretty. I wore it on Christmas with my pretty dress. My dress was red with silver sparklys in it and a silver bow. Mommy put my hair in braids and helped me get dressed for Christmas dinner. I ate so much. I had turkey and ham and stuffing and cranberry sauce and pie and cookies and candy and mashed potatoes and carrots and rolls. I was so full my belly hurt. Mommy told me to go play with my toys and relax. I didn’t want to relax though. I wanted to play with my cousins. I never get to see them, and they were here. I love my cousins. We have so much fun playing together. We played tag and hide-and-go-seek. Then we all went...

...Mythology, History and Scary Stuff but even one of them doesn’t leave great impact in me, yeah in a short period of time I was amazed and captured by those books. But suddenly I realized that those books doesn’t make sense, yeah the Greek Myths and History books that I had red actually helps me to learn more about the past of this freakin’ world but what’s the use? Can it help me to be a better student, daughter and person? Can it help me to fulfill my dreams? Or can it save my life from that horrifying eternal death? Of course not! The only book that can help me with those things/problems which probably leave and until now giving a great impact in my life is the awesome, wonderful and amazing Book of Bible. Bible… what is Bible? Well it is a book which contains the life of our awesome savior Jesus Christ. It also contains teachings and lesson for our daily lives. Teenagers now a days find Bible as a plain boring thing (the saddest part in my essay ) They think that reading Bible is nothing but a waste of time. I’m not angry with them in fact I feel pity for them because they don’t know how great God is and they didn’t also know that there is one man (God) who really loves them more than His One and Only Son (Jesus Christ) You know guys Bible really helps me a lot, it’s not a boring thing like others think in fact this boring thing that they call is the thing which helps me with my everyday trials. Bible taught me many things… not just any thingy thing but very useful things...

...A Trip of a Lifetime Is this really happening? Are we actually here? No, we can’t be…, but we are. If you were to tell me two years ago that I would go on this trip, that I would be there, and see the place in person, I would have laughed and think that you were crazy. I look back at it now, still wondering if I actually went there. It was that amazing, that I still question it, even though it happened almost a year ago. I will tell this story, the story of my trip to the bloody battle fields that held hundreds of soldiers, where you can still feel the sorrow of the deaths, where you might hear battle cries, and even see those famous blue and grey uniforms on ghostly soldiers. Gettysburg! It all started with my mother talking about some insane idea to go on a trip back east. She said that we would someday go on this trip, maybe within year or two. I thought it was never going to happen. Three months later, those months filled with talk about it, my mom told me that we would go in April. I could hardly believe what she was telling me. I didn’t believe it so much, that, on April first I thought she was going to say, “April Fools! We aren’t really going on the trip”. That never happened though, and before I knew it we were going on the long plane and train ride. Yes, I said planes and trains. This trip consisted of all transportations, Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. It was really crazy. We even time traveled! Well, not...

So you get the red and the blue and pour the red into the indigo one and pout the blue on in the green one. And I will get the orange and yellow and I will pour the orange one into the purple and pour the yellow one into the grey one. And after we pour them in we need to slowly mix it” says Adam. I go up to get 4 spoons and I gave him 2 and we started to stir them slowly and they all come out really colorful. Then it was my turn to read off the rubric and right before I was going to read the bell rung “OK class, make sure you take off the gloves, googles and lab coat and I will see you tomorrow” says Mr. Grey. Everybody took them off the stuff and grab their stuff and left to go to lunch. As Adam and I was walking to the lunch room we saw Bethany standing there by the doorway smiling at us....

...Daniel Murphy * Identify the current formal and informal power structures in the organization. How might the power and political structure of the organization affect employee behavior? The current formal power structure is a chain of command. With a chain of command there is a line of authority that stretches from the highest ranking leader all the way to the lowest, this structure defines who answers to whom, and who has the final say in any situation. This tends to result in a very structured work environment where every employee understands who has authority over them, and who they have authority over. The informal power structure is more of a team-orientated environment. This has resulted in close communities that emphasize on teamwork and communication to accomplish tasks. The downside to this kind of structure is that there can also be conflict amongst employees as they try to work in teams with the chain of command power structure in place. * Identify the most appropriate and effective organizational structures for Riordan Manufacturing that will help them accomplish their planned changes. I believe a good organizational structure for Riordan would be self-directed teams. Since there is already an informal team-orientated environment this structure would fit in nicely. First this kind of environment would boost morale and motivation by empowering the employees. Employees that have great knowledge and experience would be encouraged to take the lead of...

...1. Based on the segmentation variables, how is Beano’s Café now segmenting and targeting the coffee market? [20%] The Egyptian market was locally driven toward oriental café, Turkish coffee and shisha and Egyptian might not be keen on coffee made from unfamiliar and new ingredients. Thus, when they want to enter the market, they have to segment the market in order giving out suitable strategy to introduce the Egyptian consumer to a new café experience. A market segment consists of a group of customers who share a similar set of needs and wants. Segmentation variables consist of geographic, demographic, psychographic and behavioral considerations. Geographic segmentation divides the market into geographical units such as nations, states, regions, counties, cities or neighborhoods. Beano’s café initially geographic segmented the market in the own country of the creator of the Beano’s Café group in Egypt. As Beano’s Café is one of the most successful and popular café chains in Egypt and it segmented the states throughout the country and has branches in Cairo, Alexandria and Giza and many. Eventually, when their target segment in Egypt is stable, they even have a branch in French, Paris. Moreover, the cultures in Europe like Paris, London, Italy and more. They are many café around the street and the country. Perhaps Beano’s café will have slightly different menu in Paris compare to Egypt like it might more focus on baguette products in Paris as they have to apply grassroots marketing...

...Department of Philosophy and Religion PHIL 1170, Introduction to Business Ethics 1Fall, 2015 Syllabus Course Objective: An overview of and investigation into the philosophical/ethical and philosophical/moral (these two areas are distinctly different) problems in business. Some of these issues are long-standing, while some are more recently created by modern developments in areas where business thinking comes into practice, such as with information technology, with socially private vs. public matters, and with legal concerns. Unlike some business courses, we’ll not use just "the case method." The aim is to have you understand both the value of and some precise methods for thinking in a manner which benefits you—philosophically and otherwise—when in the future you need to face any of these issues personally (—and you will). Philosophical inquiring will be emphasized; in class it will be done via the Socratic Method of learning. Gini, Marcoux, Case Studies in Business Ethics. 6th ed. Pearson Prentice Hall, 2009.

...Today I woke up at around 6 AM. I think I’m just excited for today’s activity, or I’m just excited to see this certain classmate of mine. Last night I stayed up late because I was waiting for her to get home. She said she was there at around 5, but the truth is when she texted me it was around 4. Anyway I’m glad she had arrived safe and sound, so on with the story. I checked my phone and I realized I was earlier than my alarm. I set it to ring at 7 AM. So there I opened the PC and sadly my father took the cord that connects the modem and the CPU. To keep it simple the internet connection was cut. It meant less contact with her and all her accounts. I’m still annoyed because I can’t enjoy the leisure I had before. I consider myself as a web person now, not like before when it didn’t bother me if I can connect to the net or not as long as I can enjoy myself. So there mother gave me 500 pesos for the day. She told me I should give back the change which will always result to nothing either because I’ve spent the excess money or I’ve kept it to myself. I looked for my yellow piggy bank and from there I took 10 pesos. It would serve as my tricycle fare. I went to the town proper, because the terminals are to be found there. When I arrived at the town proper I went to a certain grocery store. I tried to buy shawarma so I would get lesser bills. God they didn’t have any change for my money! I was like annoyed because I was hungry. And I think they too were annoyed because they had...

So, it’s soon to be the 5th Anniversary since we became JUMP, so today we’re looking back at the history of JUMP! To start off, who do you think changed the most since we became JUMP? Arioka: Keito! Takaki: He can now say more to members. Yamada: Just a total tengu（笑）(Note: Tengu is a Japanese expression of an over confident person.) Chinen: It just means that he’s more friendly with members now. Yaotome: Back then he never talked, and he even started crying in the middle of our choreography session. （笑） Yabu: Unfortunately he changed. Okamoto: Just say “He changed.” And leave it! It’s not unfortunate. （笑） Yabu: Back then he was all like, “I don’t wanna play the guitar…” Arioka: Oh, yeah yeah! He had absolutely no intention of playing it! Inoo: He changed. Chinen: He changed.

Nothing but sending “Yo” to your friends--Stupid but simple. The app, which debuted in April, has been downloaded two million times, according to Or Arbel, the chief executive. "We Yo with co-workers alerting them that a meeting is starting; I Yo with my wife as a 'hi' during a busy day, I Yo with friends, without any more expectation or need than a Yo back." -- Investor of Yo John Borthwick As much as $10 million. That is the valuation investors have assigned to the new smartphone app. ere is how it success, from my personal perspective. Usefulness is the success metric of any technology rather than capabilities. Say, we need alert someone of something. A phone call might be too intrusive or unnecessary, a text message is not noticeable enough, an email may be even more ignorable. Fortunately, now we have Yo, that could help us fill this gap, fill those tiny moments that we don’t want it to be ignored but would rather not bother others by making a phone call. Technology is meant to simplify people’s life. By using this app, we can save lots of words by simply saying “Yo”. Under certain context, it’s not necessary to “make things so clear”, both the massage deliver and receiver knows what’s...

Chapter 1 Moving “Sehun-ah!” A booming voice awoke me from my trance. “You coming or not? The car’s waiting. Ppalli.” I mumbled something to myself as I caught a final glimpse on my window. Why do we even have to leave this house? The weather’s so good it’s a shame for me for not being able to enjoy it. Sigh. Screw this moving-somewhere-else idea. It would be fun skiing - without falling on the water of course – while watching girls clad in bikinis. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not a pervert. Well, somehow. But this is not about me.

...Another barrier might be the cultural differences. It will be difficult to communicate with the people having a different culture and background. There will be miscommunication when we make the wrong assumption that others people’s attitudes and lives are similar to us. Communicating with colleagues using different native language might be a problem as well. Therefore, it is important for us to understand that not everyone will behave and communicate in the same way with us. Culture with collaboration and open communication will enhance communication in the organization. Trust and openness to express ideas and perceptions are very important. Barriers of communication that exist will affect the effectiveness of communication in organization. Level of effective communication will actually affect the level of satisfaction of members in organization. Satisfaction of the member will affect the whole operation of the organization. Introduction The following report will discuss and resolve the possible barriers in effective communication. It will include different ways in which to overcome the threats that pursue an important discussion, debate or conversation. This report can be useful for people writing reports on effective communication in and around their business or company. 1.
