...sitting around the picnic table doing what they do, and in the center of it all was a table and at the center of that table was me and my uncles; Rene, Joel, Henrique. We were just talking, in Spanish, about how full we were with the food and like an anonymous wind blew him in out of nowhere, a man stood in the middle of the party like a statue short on one side, tipsy, and one half of his shirt tucked in and bottle in hand, with glazed eyes he glared at us almost in a panorama. Looking like he was about to keel over he opened his, what I know now as a gaping hole of a mouth, the second he spoke nothing but hate flew from his mouth racial slurs came out targeted at everyone at the party even my youngest cousin got cursed at by this vulgar man. At the end of his tantrum he collapsed on the grass, at that moment I rushed to see who my racial attacker was and before me lying unconscious reeking of booze and other fluids was a white male with a beard, which looked like he never heard of a razor before. Clawing his way through the crowd of relatives my uncle Rene picked up the man on two his shoulder to a lone picnic table and set him down, he told us to get a cool bottle of water for the man, but of course we all refused, why would we want to help a man that so bluntly insulted our elders and our children for being something that they didn’t choose. My uncle insisted so I helped with the water and after a few minutes the man came to, almost vomiting on the...

...organizations by getting them drunk to get information out of them. The second ethical issue is that when Marry lost her job Albert lost a lot of money in high risk markets with his father’s friend’s portfolios. These men were old and that was most likely their retirement fund. Another HUGE ethical and I believe legal issue would be that Albert used his uncle to gain access to law offices and gather information of certain clients and businesses. Mary also used information from her father to help another company take over the one he worked for. Using this insider information is an issue. Legal issues that they face are the emails that marry forwarded with obscene messages and images that caused her to lose her job. As well as Al dealing with blackmail from Barry to give him the IPO information, or else he’ll report him for spinning. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each decision that albert could make or has made- Although Alberts and Mary’s use of insider trading made them a substantial amount of money and enhanced their portfolios; it was still illegal and they could both lose their jobs. The same goes for the use of his uncles keys to gain access to certain law offices. A disadvantage from marry forwarding emails would be that she lost her job. The disadvantage of Albert giving into Barry’s blackmail is that the boss could find out and they both lose their jobs. Although the disadvantage of not giving into the demands would be that he possibly loses his job as well. If...

...Now we're going to talk about calling coyotes in with an electric caller. The first thing that needs to happen is going out and buying a pretty expensive caller to use the cheaper ones do not work as well. Then we need to find a good spot to call them in at, the best luck I’ve had is sitting by some hay bails about 200 yards from a creek and staying very still. After we have found all of these hunting materials we need to get a gun. I use a 243 savage about any type of gun will work. I have put a little extra on my gun just to make it better. I have put a Bipod on it so when I’m sitting on the ground there is some way to balance it without it going everywhere.

...Cynthia Howard ENC1101 Essay #2 - Narrative Essay Due Date: February 18, 2011 Username: CHoward4 The plight of the chicken Every time I see a white chicken, fond memories resonate through my mind about the special bond and relationship that I had as a five-year-old girl with my pet chicken. On that day, a lesson was learned about family values and pride. There are many events that have occurred throughout my life that have impacted me as an adult, and this event was one of those events. I can still remember the events that played out during that day, and I believe that I can hear the sounds of the chicken echoing through the woods when I go home for a visit. I was raised on a farm in Kings Mountain, North Carolina with my father, two brothers, and one sister. Although I had siblings to frolic in the woods with, and do fun activities like swim in the creek, or build tree houses, I still felt a need to have a pet for companionship. I spoke to my father about the possibility of getting a pet of my own, specifically a kitten, and he decided that I was too young to tend to the needs of a kitten. He did allow me to pick a chicken from his large coop located in the woods above the house as my pet. If I could prove to my father that I was able to keep up with the responsibilities of caring for the chicken, I may be allowed to get a kitten. This was a ritual that my father had with my older siblings with respect to their desire to have a pet. I remember spending an ample amount...

...the office and he challenged his co-worker. I can relate to this so much because I have a family full of athletes and we have been challenging each other for years in every category of sports. I want to say first off running a 5.77 is extremely slow at any age. But I can just imagine my family members (which are all guys) challenging me to a foot race and actually going outside and doing it. He said guys will take small challenges and that is extremely true. I and my family will argue about who is the best at video games because that just what guys do. But on the other hand I have a few uncles who would never waste their time to sit down and play a video game. Because that isn’t something that men usually do. He also mention that men are more serious than guys which is very true my uncle usually doesn’t talk but when he does he means business I would categorize my uncle as a man. But when he said that guys cheat I would have to disagree with him on that simply because I feel like I do all the things that he would consider a guys does but at the same time I have never cheated on my girlfriend. Another thing that he said that I would disagree with would probably be when he said guys like neat stuff I think that this could very easily fall into the men category as well. I do however think that he is correct when he says that guys don’t have a rigid moral code because I know some guys who I could trust my live with and on the other hand I know some guys who...

...would go with him out of town, but he was not going to really go out of town with him he was helping us so we could arrest him at the park. Detective Tiana took Kyle into a quiet room and talked to him. Kyle said he did not do it because he was out of town. We showed him the fingerprint and the footprint we found at the crime and we took his finger print and they were both the same, but he said he was not there so that the fingerprint was not him. The shoes he was wearing were not the same as the crime, but he could of changed his shoes before he meant up with his friend. “Kyle where were you when the crime happened?” Detective Tiana “At my aunts and uncles out of town.” Kyle “Who’s your aunt and uncle” Detective Tiana “Lois and Bob” Kyle Kyle’s alibi How did I kill Blake when I was out of town. I was staying at my aunt and uncles house the day he was killed I have been staying there for about a month and I did not come back to this town so I am not the person that killed him because I do not have a black shirt or coat....

...Douglas Salayka Prof. Major Easy Rider Easy rider was a film I couldn’t understand. I have to say I didn't like it. I somewhat respect what the film did for the industry but still I cant full respect it for the scenes of them having sex at the graveyard. That was a bit to much for me. The movie starts out with a cocaine deal, The 2 main characters then wanted to use the money and jet. The scenes of them riding around on motorcycles used music from the time like Born to be wild. At that time it was very new to be using tracks like that in films. For that reason I give the movie bonus points because it did something nobody ever really did at the time. So the 2 men on the road trip find themselves in all sorts of trouble. The film actually used real drugs in the scenes that depicted them using cocaine and marijuana. To me that's crazy, but I know Dennis hopper had to do with this as he was a user at the time. I even read that Jack Nicholson actually came out and said it was real marijuana that he smoked. In class we touched upon why Jack Nicholson died but the other men didn't. I think we came to a consensus that it was just luck that they survived a bit longer but I still don't get that. The biggest thing I want to talk about is the drug tripping scene in the graveyard. Hopper didn't get permission or anything to film there and they were basically having sex on the tombstone of a dead child. If something like this happened now the media would be all over it saying how unforgiving...

...Analysis of Foxconn Introduction Foxconn, or Hon Hai Precision Industry Co, was founded 37 years ago in Taiwan by Terry Gou. The company initially started as a local computer component manufacturer. Over the past decades, Foxconn had been continuously growing to become the world’s largest electronic components manufacturers with the consolidated revenue of 59.32 billion US dollars in 2010. As the largest electronic manufactures, Foxconn provides electronic components to major electronic devices manufacturers across the world. Its clients include Apple, Amazon, Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft, Dell and HP. Broad Environment Sociocultural: In the past year, Foxconn’s image has been tarnished by reports of labor protests and employee suicides. These were the result of harsh working conditions, unfair wages and a lack of communication with the media. The sociocultural trend has driven Foxconn to improve its working surroundings and its impeccable image in society. In addition, Foxconn has remained highly confidential on its internal information. Today’s society has required the company to communicate frequently with external stakeholders. This foreseeable trend will require Foxconn to become a more transparent company in the future. Political: Foxconn’s manufacture sites are located in developing countries. These countries have the trend to change in laws and regulations frequently. For example, China has changed its labor regulations in recent years. In addition, Foxconn...

...14 Why start at ‘Dasein’? • “Zunächst und zumeist”: The quest to start without assumptions makes Heidegger examine how we live ‘first and foremost’ and ‘most of the time’. • Where else should we start? 15 Being-in-the-world ‘Always already in the world’ -> ‘Being-in-the-world’ And by ‘world’ we don’t mean a physical space that we can move around in. We rather mean something like ‘context’ NB. In “What We Talk About When We Talk About Context”, Paul Dourish makes the distinction between context as a representational (positivistic) and as an interactional (phenomenological) problem 16 The iconic example of a hammer What makes a hammer a hammer? Ein Ding / Thing? No, Zeug / ‘Equipment’ ”Equipment is a solicitation to act” 17 The door handle 18 An experiment! Vorhandenheit -> Zuhandenheit Present-at-hand -> Ready-to-hand 19 The origin of science Heidegger: Firstly and most of the time we are not scientists. Science only starts when the equipment breaks down. Consequence: Technology precedes science. Both historically and logically. Don Ihde: ”All science is technoscience” ”No instruments, no science” 20 Heidegger: Die Frage nach der Technik Another iconic contribution to the philosophy of technology. Most often as a punching bag. Many criticize Heidegger’s attempt to talk about the ”Technik” in singular. But when connected to Sein und Zeit, one can see that Heidegger is talking about a way to...

...James Montgomery Flagg James Montgomery Flagg was born in Pelham Manor N.Y on June 18, 1977. James Flagg’s parents were Elisha Flagg who was a business man and Anna Elida Coburn. He was an illustrator and a writer for over twenty years and had some very famous art work that people still remember today. Some of the things that will be cover on James Montgomery Flagg are his education/apprenticeship, the culture and society of the time period his work was made, historical design/art precedents that influenced him to do the illustrations that he made, his most significant accomplishments over the years, and subsequent influences that he had on later generations. James Montgomery Flagg had quite a few more famous art works that he made that people don’t really know about. Figure [ 1 ]-1 James Flagg in 1915 James Montgomery Flagg’s public schools were Dr. Chapin’s School from 1889 to 1891 and then moved to Horace Mann School from 1891 till 1893. Then James went to study at the Art Students League from 1894 till 1898 under John H. Tqachtamn and J. Carroll Beckwith. Than in 1898 he attended Hubert Herkomer’s Art School in Bushey, Hertfordshire, England. James Montgomery Flagg intended to be a portraitist, and continued to paint and draw portraits throughout his career. James says that, “his real education came from the material that passed over the desks of the editors of St. Nicholas, Judge and Life” [ {{52 Anonymous}} ]. At St. Nicholas, Judge and Life James was allowed...

...FOLKTALES Assignment: Translate the poems into 21st century English In All God’s Chillen had Wings all the slaves had power if they simply just believed that they could fly. They didn’t understand that if all of them pulled together and had faith in the Old man that they could escape the Master, and the driver and all the beatings. I took from this faith and believing was important. In Big Talk it sounded more like what goes around comes around. I took it as both slaves were picking with each other and you should watch what you listen to and not be so gullible. In How to Write a Letter I interpreted this as no matter how educated you are don’t forget where you come from. In this story the daughter was able to go off to school and receive an education and when she came back home it seemed like she maybe forgot the little things that actually mattered in her upbringing like her father’s sounds that he wanted her to write I took it as don’t take anything for granted. Ah’ll Beatcher Makin Money in this story it just showed the greed in the master, how he was willing to sacrifice anything and everything to make money and greed placed him in a place where he didn’t want to be which was dead. Talk Too Much, Anyhow in this story the slave should've known better but the lesson in this story was that some things are just better left unsaid and don’t play with fire. The slave should have thought a little bit more about the consequences in case the frog didn’t speak in which he didn’t...

...Uncle Vanya Grown-up literature is kind of strange and sad, don't you think? Most characters within children's literature, from Tom Sawyer to Harry Potter, struggle against adversity, and ultimately find a sense of meaning and satisfaction in their lives. Most characters in "grown up" books and plays struggle against adversity, which is usually rooted in some psychologically complex inner conflict, and ultimately find that life has no meaning and no guarantee of satisfaction. At least, this seems to be the case with the stories and dramas in my big, thick Literature textbook. And it certainly seems to be the case when that Literature (with a capital L) is penned by a Russian. Such is the case with Uncle Vanya by Anton Chekhov. The play is filled with downtrodden fools, some ignorant, some self-aware; all are miserable because they have pursued the wrong goals. The Setting: Uncle Vanya takes place in a large estate tucked away in the Russian countryside. Possibly, the location was inspired by Chekhov's country home at the time the play was written. In the 1890s, hoping to improve his health and his connections with his fellow man, Chekhov moved his family to a small rural settlement called Melikhovo, located about forty miles south of Moscow. Much of the play finds its characters in conflict with their surroundings. The characters from the city find country life to be unbearably unsatisfying. The country-bred characters find that their city-bred counterparts are infectiously...

...Nicole An Introduction of Foxconn Case Study The organization I want to research is Foxconn Technology Group, which is an electronics contract manufacturing company. Terry Gou founded Foxconn in 1974. The major fields that Foxconn focus on are consumer electronics, digital content, automobile parts and the development of new energy resources and new materials. Foxconn owns many high-end clients worldwide, such as Google, Amazon.com, Apple Inc., Microsoft, Dell, Sony, Nokia and so on. The well-known products that the company manufactures contain iPhone, iPad, iPod, PS 3 and Wii. What’s more, Foxconn assembles 40 percent of all consumer electronics products sold in the world. From 1988, Foxconn started building factories in Mainland China. Until now, it has 13 factories in China with almost one million employees. And after several years development it has factories in Asia, Europe, and South America now. Besides those glamorous sides, Foxconn is facing many tough management challenges. As a manufactory company, Foxconn has hired a significant number of young employees (age between 20 and 25) to accomplish its huge amount of orders quickly. So, a series of problems came out. It hit the headlines following a series of suicides and fights among its workforce in recent years. Thus, Foxconn began to be noticed about its poor working environment, strict working discipline, high working pressure, corporate culture, and worker’s psychological problems. So...
