Practical Demonkeeping Chapter 31-32

31 GOOD GUYS Augustus Brine, Travis, and Gian Hen Gian were squeezed into the seat of Brine's pickup. As they approached Effrom and Amanda's house, they spotted a beige Dodge parked in the driveway. â€Å"Do you know what kind of car they drive?† Travis asked. Brine was slowing down. â€Å"An old Ford, I think.† â€Å"Don't slow down. Keep going,† Travis said. â€Å"But why?† â€Å"I'd bet anything that Dodge is a police car. There's a whip antenna pinned down on the back.† â€Å"So what? You haven't done anything illegal.† Brine wanted to get it over with and get some sleep. â€Å"Keep going. I don't want to answer a lot of questions. We don't know what Catch has been doing. We can come back later, after the police leave.† The Djinn said, â€Å"He has a point, Augustus Brine.† â€Å"All right.† Brine gunned the pickup and sped by. In a few minutes they were sitting in Jenny's kitchen listening to the answering machine. They had gone in the back way to avoid the burnt, doughy mess in the front yard. â€Å"Well,† Travis said, resetting the machine, â€Å"that buys us a little time before we have to explain it to Jenny.† â€Å"Do you think Catch will come back here?† Brine asked. â€Å"I hope so,† Travis said. â€Å"Can't you concentrate your will on bringing him back until we can find out if Amanda still has the candlesticks?† â€Å"I've been trying. I don't understand this much more than you do.† â€Å"Well, I need a drink,† Brine said. â€Å"Is there anything in the house?† â€Å"I doubt it. Jenny said she couldn't keep anything in the house or her husband would drink it. She drank all the wine last night.† â€Å"Even some cooking sherry would be fine,† Brine said, feeling a little sleazy as he spoke. Travis began going through the cupboards. â€Å"Should you find a small quantity of salt, I would be most grateful,† the Djinn said. Travis found a box of salt among the spices and was handing it to the Djinn when the phone rang. They all froze and listened as the machine played Jenny's outgoing message. After the beep there was a pause, then a woman's voice. â€Å"Travis, pick up.† It was not Jenny. Travis looked to Brine. â€Å"No one knows I'm here.† â€Å"They do now. Pick it up.† Travis picked up the phone, and the answering machine clicked off. â€Å"This is Travis.† Brine watched the color drain out of the demonkeeper's face as he listened. â€Å"Is she all right?† Travis said into the phone. â€Å"Let me talk to her. Who are you? Do you know what you're getting yourself into?† Brine couldn't imagine what was going on in the conversation. Suddenly Travis screamed into the phone, â€Å"He's not an Earth spirit – he's a demon. How can you be so stupid?† Travis listened for a moment more, then looked at Augustus Brine and covered the receiver with his hand. â€Å"Do you know where there are some caves to the north of town?† â€Å"Yes,† Brine said, â€Å"the old mushroom farm.† Travis spoke into the phone, â€Å"Yes, I can find it. I'll be there at four.† He sat down hard on one of the kitchen chairs and let the phone fall into its cradle. â€Å"What's going on?† Brine demanded. Travis was shaking his head. â€Å"Some woman is holding Jennifer and Amanda and her husband hostage. Catch is with her and she has the candlesticks. And you were right, there are three invocations.† â€Å"I don't understand,† Brine said. â€Å"What does she want?† â€Å"She thinks that Catch is some kind of benevolent Earth spirit. She wants his power.† â€Å"Humans are so ignorant,† the Djinn said. â€Å"But what does she want with you?† Brine asked. â€Å"She has the candlesticks and the invocations.† â€Å"They're in Greek. They want me to translate the invocations or they'll kill Jenny.† â€Å"Let them,† the Djinn said. â€Å"Perhaps you can bring Catch under control with the woman dead.† Travis exploded. â€Å"They thought of that, you little troll! If I don't show up at four, they'll kill Jenny and destroy the invocation. Then we'll never be able to send Catch back.† Augustus Brine checked his watch. â€Å"We've got exactly an hour and a half to come up with a plan.† â€Å"Let us retire to the saloon and consider our options,† the Djinn said. 32 THE HEAD OF THE SLUG Augustus Brine led the way into the Head of the Slug. Travis followed, and Gian Hen Gian shuffled in last. The saloon was nearly empty: Robert was sitting at the bar, another man sat in the dark at a table in the back, and Mavis was behind the bar. Robert turned as they entered. When he saw Travis, he jumped off the stool. â€Å"You fucking asshole!† Robert screamed. He stormed toward Travis with his fist cocked for a knockout blow. He got four steps before Augustus Brine threw out a massive forearm that caught him in the forehead. There was a flash of tennis shoes flailing in the air as Robert experienced the full dynamic range of the clothesline effect. A second later he lay on the floor unconscious. â€Å"Who is that?† Travis asked. â€Å"Jenny's husband,† Brine answered, bending over and inspecting Robert's neck for any jutting vertebrae. â€Å"He'll be okay.† â€Å"Maybe we should go somewhere else.† â€Å"There isn't time,† Brine said. â€Å"Besides, he might be able to help.† Mavis Sand was standing on a plastic milk box peering over the bar at Robert's supine form. â€Å"Nice move, Asbestos,† she said. â€Å"I like a man that can handle himself.† Brine ignored the compliment. â€Å"Do you have any smelling salts?† Mavis climbed down from her milk box, rummaged under the bar for a moment, and came up with a gallon bottle of ammonia. â€Å"This should do it.† To Travis and the Djinn she said: â€Å"You boys want anything?† Gian Hen Gian stepped up to the bar. â€Å"Could I trouble you for a small quantity†¦Ã¢â‚¬  â€Å"A salty dog and a draft, please,† Travis interrupted. Brine wrapped one arm under Robert's armpits and dragged him to a table. He propped him up in a chair, retrieved the ammonia bottle from the bar, and waved it under Robert's nose. Robert came to, gagging. â€Å"Bring this boy a beer, Mavis,† Brine said. â€Å"He ain't drinking today. I've been pouring him Cokes since noon.† â€Å"A Coke, then.† Travis and the Djinn took their drinks and joined Brine and Robert at the table, where Robert sat looking around as if he were experiencing reality for the first time. A nasty bump was rising on his forehead. He rubbed it and winced. â€Å"What hit me?† â€Å"I did,† Brine said. â€Å"Robert, I know you're angry at Travis, but you have to put it aside. Jenny's in trouble.† Robert started to protest, but Brine raised a hand and he fell silent. â€Å"For once in your life, Robert, do the right thing and listen.† It took fifteen minutes for Brine to relate the condensed version of the demon's story, during which time the only interruption was the screeching feedback of Mavis Sand's hearing aid, which she had cranked up to maximum so she could eavesdrop. When Brine finished, he drained his beer and ordered a pitcher. â€Å"Well?† he said. Robert said, â€Å"Gus, you're the sanest man I know, and I believe that you believe Jenny is in trouble, but I don't believe this little man is a genie and I don't believe in demons.† â€Å"I have seen the demon,† came a voice from the dark end of the bar. The figure who had been sitting quietly when they came in stood and walked toward them. They all turned to see a rumpled and wrinkled Howard Phillips staggering out of the dark, obviously drunk. â€Å"I saw it outside of my house last night. I thought it was one of the slave creatures kept by the Old Ones.† â€Å"What in the hell are you talking about, Howard?† Robert asked. â€Å"It doesn't matter any longer. What matters is that these men are telling you the truth.† â€Å"So now what?† Robert said. â€Å"What do we do now?† Howard pulled a pocket watch from his vest and checked the time. â€Å"You have one hour to plan a course of action. If I can be of any assistance†¦Ã¢â‚¬  â€Å"Sit down, Howard, before you fall down,† Brine said. â€Å"Let's lay it out. I think it's obvious from what we know that there is no way to hurt the demon.† â€Å"True,† Travis said. â€Å"Therefore,† Brine continued, â€Å"the only way to stop him and his new master is to get the invocation from the second candlestick, which will either send Catch back to hell or empower Gian Hen Gian.† â€Å"When Travis meets them, why don't we just rush them and take it?† Robert said. Travis shook his head. â€Å"Catch would kill Jenny and the Elliotts before we ever got close. Even if we got hold of the invocation, it has to be translated. That takes time. It's been years since I've read any Greek. You would all be killed, and Catch would find another translator.† â€Å"Yes, Robert,† Brine added. â€Å"Did we mention that unless Catch is in his eating form, which must have been what Howard saw, no one can see him but Travis?† â€Å"I am fluent in Greek,† Howard said. They all looked at him. â€Å"No,† Brine said. â€Å"They expect Travis to be alone. The mouth of the cave is at least fifty yards from any cover. As soon as Howard stepped out, it would be over.† â€Å"Maybe we should let it be over,† Travis said. â€Å"No. Wait a minute,† Robert said. He took a pen from Howard's pocket and began scribbling figures on a cocktail napkin. â€Å"You say there's cover fifty yards from the caves?† Brine nodded. Robert did some scribbling. â€Å"Okay, Travis, exactly how big is the print on the invocation? Can you remember?† â€Å"What does it matter?† â€Å"It matters,† Robert insisted. â€Å"How big is the print?† â€Å"I don't know – it's been a long time. It was handwritten, and the parchment was pretty long. I'd guess the characters were maybe a half-inch tall.† Robert scribbled furiously on the napkin, then put the pen down. â€Å"If you can get them out of the cave and hold up the invocation – tell them you need more light or something – I can set up a telephoto lens on a tripod in the woods and Howard can translate the invocation.† â€Å"I don't think they'll let me hold the parchment up long enough for Howard to translate. They'll suspect something.† â€Å"No, you don't understand.† Robert pushed the napkin he had been writing on in front of Travis. It was covered with fractions and ratios. Looking at it, Travis was baffled. â€Å"What does this mean?† â€Å"It means that I can put a Polaroid back on one of my Nikons and when you hold up the parchments, I can photograph them, hand the Polaroid to Howard, and thirty seconds later he can start translating. The ratios show that the print will be readable on the Polaroid. I just need enough time to focus and set exposure, maybe three seconds.† Robert looked around the table. Howard Phillips was the first to speak. â€Å"It sounds feasible, although fraught with contingencies.† Augustus Brine was smiling. â€Å"What do you think, Gus?† Robert asked. â€Å"You know, I always thought you were a lost cause, but I think I've changed my mind. Howard's right, though – there's lot of ifs involved. But it might work.† â€Å"He is still a lost cause,† the Djinn chimed in. â€Å"The invocation is useless without the silver Seal of Solomon, which is part of one of the candlesticks.† â€Å"It's hopeless,† Travis said. Brine said, â€Å"No, it's not. It's just very difficult. We have to get the candlesticks before they know about the seal. We'll use a diversion.† â€Å"Are you going to explode more flour?† asked Gian Hen Gian. â€Å"No. We're going to use you as bait. If Catch hates you as much as you say, he'll come after you and Travis can grab the candlesticks and run.† â€Å"I don't like it,† Travis said. â€Å"Not unless we can get Jenny and the Elliotts clear.† â€Å"I agree,† said Robert. â€Å"Do you have a better idea?† Brine asked. â€Å"Rachel is a bitch,† Robert said, â€Å"but I don't think she's a killer. Maybe Travis can send Jenny down the hill from the caves with the candlesticks as a condition to translating the invocation.† â€Å"That still leaves the Elliotts,† Brine said. â€Å"And besides, we don't know if the demon knows the seal is in the candlesticks. I think we go for the diversion plan. As soon as Howard has the invocation translated, Gian Hen Gian should step out of the woods and we all go for it.† Howard Phillips said, â€Å"But even if you have the seal and the invocation, you still have to read the words before the demon kills us all.† â€Å"That's right,† said Travis. â€Å"And the process should begin as soon as Rachel starts reading the words I translate, or Catch will know something is up. I can't bluff on the translation at my end.† â€Å"You don't have to,† Brine said. â€Å"You simply have to be slower than Howard, which doesn't sound like a problem.† â€Å"Wait a second,† Robert said. He was out of his seat and across the bar to where Mavis was standing. â€Å"Mavis, give me your recorder.† â€Å"What recorder?† she said coyly. â€Å"Don't bullshit me, Mavis. You've got a microcassette recorder under the bar so you can listen to people's conversations.† Mavis pulled the recorder out from under the bar and reluctantly handed it over to Robert. â€Å"This is the solution to the time problem,† Robert said. â€Å"We read the invocation into this before the genie comes out of the woods. When and if we get the candlesticks, we play it back. This thing has a high speed for secretaries to use when typing dictation.† Brine looked at Travis. â€Å"Will it work?† â€Å"It's not any more risky than anything else we're doing.† â€Å"Who's voice do we use?† Robert asked. â€Å"Who gets the responsibility?† The Djinn answered, â€Å"It must be Augustus Brine. He has been chosen.† Robert checked his watch. â€Å"We've got a half hour and I still have to pick up my cameras at The Breeze's trailer. Let's meet at the U-PICK-EM sign in fifteen minutes.† â€Å"Wait – we need to go over this again,† Travis said. â€Å"Later,† Brine said. He threw a twenty-dollar bill on the table and headed toward the door. â€Å"Robert, use Howard's car. I don't want this whole thing depending on your old truck starting. Travis, Gian Hen Gian, you ride with me.†

Failure Analysis/Change Strategy Essay

There should also be a strategy in mind when it comes to businesses in order to prevent failure. The company should have everything documented all the way from budgeting, goals, employees and other important factors that a business will need in order to succeed. There are two companies that are great examples of a business failure and success. The failure would be Blockbuster (movie rental company) and Starbucks (coffee shop). These two companies have been around for years. However, one of the companies failed recently, which is Blockbuster. The objective, vision and mission for Blockbuster was to provide a great service for families and friends to enjoy the presence of movies as if they were at the theatre. Blockbuster was a company that served the public for many years. Having the ability to rent movies from different years and all categories is what helped the business succeed. The vision was to give individuals the ability to see movies that were no longer at the movie theater or on television. The mission was to provide media entertainment. The objective, vision and mission for Starbucks is to provide quality coffee to customers and keep them satisfied. The individuals that work for the company must have an enthusiastic personality to fit the company and keep customers smiling. This has helped them to remain successful along with serving a great beverage. This company also has different franchises all over the world to meet the needs of customers. The indicators from the failure of Blockbuster has a lot to do with structure. There are many companies out there now that are more convenient when it comes to movie rentals. Individuals are able to order movies online and from the actual cable company. There are also movie stands in front of certain stores and individuals can rent those at ease. This business would not be able to keep up with all the advanced technology. The success from Starbucks would be the quality of leadership style that the company possess and structure. The structure of the business is set up in many places which  provides better access for consumers. Any place that a person may go, there is likely to be a Starbucks around to grab a hot cup of coffee. This keeps the company booming and convenience for the customers which keeps them satisfied. This business will to continue to grow with all the different franchises that are also produced.

Exam Notes - Strategic Management Analysis Essay - 2

Exam Notes - Strategic Management Analysis - Essay Example The stakeholders are important to the firm primarily because they check the actions of the company to ensure that the company serves their interest. They can influence decisions or exert control; the level of control or the extent of influence would differ depending on how much the stakeholders are interested or involved in the firm (Besanko 2010, p. 33). Governments could also offer rebates on electric vehicles. For instance, Israel usually taxes internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles at 70%, but agreed to tax electric vehicles at 10% until the year 2019. The United States, as of the year 2010, offered rebates that ranged from $3,200 - $7,500 depending on the capacity of the battery. In Denmark, rather than the 180% ICE tax, consumers would be able to buy electric vehicles at 0% until the year 2015 (Etzion & Struben, 2011, p. 16). Workers have an influence in that they could take an industrial action to persuade the company to do as they wish; and venture capital companies could vary the credit period and amount of credit to Better Place. Stakeholders can best be influenced through effective communication with them. For instance, clients can be informed about the products and services of Better Place and be persuaded to use them. By judging the company, stakeholders essentially provide valuable suggestions, views and opinions and help in shaping the firm’s project and activities concerning its business of electric vehicles. Threats stakeholders pose: threat of consumers refusing to buy electric vehicles; governments not supporting the project of launching electric vehicles; threat from the competition. Opportunities: huge potential market for electric vehicles; working with key utility firms such as Hawaii Electric Company, Israel Electric Corporation and Toronto’s Bullfrog Power to invest in renewable energy and building recharging networks linked to the grid (Etzion & Struben, 2011, p. 16). Renault-Nissan is committed to provide cars that ar e compatible with the infrastructure of Better Place. Level of interest Low High Low Power High 2 Industry analysis and scenarios The company committed itself to using clean electrons emanating from renewable sources. Agassi held the belief that the firm would have the capacity to buy electricity inexpensively from renewable sources and the cost of driving an electric car would be less than or equal to that of driving an ICE vehicle powered by gasoline (Etzion & Struben, 2011, p. 8). Scenarios for the future are as follows: Using renewable energy for electric cars Technology failing Technology succeeding Public acceptance Public rejection Porter’s 5 forces; supplier power, buyer power, threat of substitutes, threat of new entrants and rivalry are used as a model for industry analysis. Threat of new entrants: threat of new entrants to the electric vehicle industry will serve to reduce the profitability of Better Place as it operates in the industry. However, the high capital r equirements necessary serves as a vital barrier to entry. Supplier power: Powerful suppliers, including the manufacturers of electric vehi

Kinesiology Research Paper Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 1250 words

Kinesiology - Research Paper Example Once the cause is identified, the bad feelings associated with emotional stress can be eliminated. An approach approved to the management of emotional stress is kinesiology. Through the technique of Emotional Stress Relief (ESR), a victim of emotional stress can quickly achieve calmness, clearly thinking and effective functioning in stressful, traumatic or high-pressure situations (Hoffman, 2008). If applied with the guidance of a health care professional, Emotional Stress Relief (ESR) is an effective kinesiology technique to achieve calmness, clear thinking and optimal functioning in an emotionally stressed person. This paper discusses the effective use of ESR to manage the signs and symptoms of emotional stress, including fight and flight responses to situations, paralysis responses, fear, and uncontrolled anger. If applied with professional guidance, ESR has numerous benefits for emotionally stressed persons. The benefits of ESR to the reader are numerous. Mainly, ESR releases muscle tension, increases flexibility, and improves the energy levels, accompanied by simple pain relief (Wilmore et al., 2006). ESR has also been proved to result in improved posture and breathing as well as the relaxation of muscles such as jaw muscles. By extension, the relaxation of muscles may help in attainment of migraine relief. Overall, ESR has the potential to improve and maintain an individual’s health in general. Importantly, ESR improves self-esteem and confidence and reduces mood swings. Besides, the technique stabilizes emotions, making it an effective stress management method. It also improves the diet to help a tress person’s food intake meet the body’s unique needs. The kinesiology approach to stress management entails the use of body muscles and movements (Wolf et al., 2006). It focuses on addressing emotional stress as a whole-body phenomenon. Kinesiology has the advantage o f being versatile, thus universally applicable. In

Social And Economic Trends Assignment Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 750 words

Social And Economic Trends - Assignment Example Cultural self-awareness has multiple definitions that are coined from the words culture, self, and awareness. The National Center for Cultural Competence defines cultural awareness as the â€Å"cognizant, observant, and conscious† sensitivity to the differences and similarities that exist between different cultures. Lum supports this definition in his perspective that recognizes â€Å"cognitive and sensory† knowledge of the relationship between self and culture. These perspectives integrate to the definition that cultural self-awareness is an individual’s knowledge of own culture and the interaction of the culture and other cultures to influence aspects of life. Different definitions also exist for cultural intelligence. Ang and Dyne define the concept as the potential to operate and manage self in a multi-cultural set up (2008, p. 3). This is consistent with Bertagni, La Rosa, and Salvetti’s definition of the capacity to integrate one’s self in int erpersonal situations in which cultural contexts are influential (2010, p. 80). Cultural intelligence has three dimensions that develop its relationship with cultural self-awareness. The cultural self-awareness that defines knowledge of an individual’s culture and that of other cultures, therefore, is therefore important to the emotional dimension of cultural intelligence because it forms a basis for influencing a person’s attitude than eventually determine ability to manage factors in a cultural context.

Personal Development Portfolio - Essay Example In order to more closely align myself with this aspect of my personality, I will have to develop my writing skills, to communicate my thoughts and ideas effectively, and to improve my research skills so that I can explore ideas and concepts which interest me thoroughly. QUESTION 2 Learning Styles and their Impact on Studying Preferences and Developmental Needs I have some challenges in understanding, absorbing, and interpreting texts in a fixed time. My learning style is reflective and thoughtful, so that I am able to make sure of my understanding of a concept, and then work on interpreting, adding to, or developing the concept. This does not mean that I am unable to deal with complex or abstract subject matter, but that my need is to approach it thoroughly, and creatively, rather than just to â€Å"know† it. ... QUESTION 3 Individual SWOT and Commentary It is clear that I will need to develop in the areas as revealed by my SWOT analysis. It is going to be difficult to concurrently study and work toward a career, while I improve my skills in reading, researching, critical thinking and expression. Nevertheless I believe that these are essential skills to guarantee success and satisfaction in a future career. Thus, I will set myself goals and milestones, at which I will be able to measure my progress toward being able to do these things at the level I want to. It is also true that while studying, these skills will grow according to necessity, and I do work with thoroughness and dedication, so what will be the issue is whether I have time to be able to complete what I have to. It is more to be able to create more efficiency in my work patterns that I want to focus and concentrate on the practical skills that will allow me to be and innovator, a thinker, and someone who can creatively apply his t hinking to tasks at hand. QUESTION 4 Bibliography Development Task Commentary The very specific format of the bibliography in the Harvard referencing style at first did provide me with some difficulty but the logic and clarity of the system soon allows the formatting to become almost second nature. Finding appropriate sources can also be challenging. It is tempting to look at the first source you find, and just record and use it. But learning to consider academic credibility, close relevance, and the current and latest information as criteria to select sources does not come naturally. It implies that the Internet is not always the best route, although it is the easiest and quickest. Variety is important, and sourcing journals, peer reviewed journals, online texts, and published texts,

The relationship between the ozone hole and the world corporate Research Paper

The relationship between the ozone hole and the world corporate pollution - Research Paper Example The nineteenth century and the earlier half of the twentieth century was a time of relative innocence (some would say ignorance) of how industrial processes would be affecting the environment we live in. People thought that the atmosphere, oceans, and rainforests of the world were limitless and unchanging. It is only during the 1960s and thereafter that serious inquiry into the effects of human activity on the ecology was conducted. Ozone is a molecule comprised of three atoms of oxygen, rather than the usual 2 atoms. It therefore has the symbol O3. The word â€Å"ozone† comes from the Greek word â€Å"ozein† meaning â€Å"smell†, because of its pungent odour. It was discovered in 1839 by Christian Friedrich Schà ¶nbein, when he detected a by-product of electrical discharges. It was only in the early twentieth century, however, when ozone was determined to be found in large quantities in the stratosphere (Reid, 2000). Most popular literature deal with the ozone hole, located over the Antarctic in the stratospheric level. This indicates a thinning of ozone in the place where it does the most good. It became so depleted in certain areas as a reaction to the pollutants released in the air by industrial processes, and in the household by the use of chlorofluorocarbons and other chemical products. Very few, however, know that ozone has been accumulating in a layer closer to the ground than the stratosphere, namely the troposphere. Closer to the earth, ozone is a poisonous substance and where it would touch the earth, it may cause deaths and damage to the lungs. The first relationship depicted above shows the formation of the ozone layer in the stratosphere, its proper location for greatest benefit. The ozone has varying effects on different types of ultraviolet radiation. UV-C, the ultraviolet ray with the shortest wavelength is the type most effectively screened, while UV-A, which has the longest wavelength, is that which passes straight through

Potter Five Forces Analysis Of NYC Chauffeurs VIP Assignment

Potter Five Forces Analysis Of NYC Chauffeurs VIP - Assignment Example In spite of the strategic management process developed by the organization management policy and goals, the success of the company was limited because of the existing competition especially from new companies investing in the chauffer industry. The introduction of new services by competitors and new business ventures in the next years will affect the revenue of the company. The perception that the company will be able to wade the storm because of its past expansion record is unfounded because of the increasing competition and the inflation affecting the consumers. There are several competitors who will affect the revenue collection of the company. The main competitors in the market include the iDriveYourCar.com and the chauffernewyork services. The iDriveyourcar.com offers rental services for vehicles without offering drivers if the consumer only needs the car. The offering of flexibility in car hire increases the competition for the company because of variety and diversity. Threats from substitutes There are several substitutes to the product range provided by the company. The products are from competitors such as city taxi services and buses which offer cheaper services to the consumer. Latest changes in the transport sector and existence of other market share leaders such as MTA Company and other companies introduce substitute to the transport system offer by the VIP limo service. The company is faced with a serious challenge from cost effective service delivery companies which do not offer high end products such as the limo but have focused on cheaper alternatives such as bus transport. These companies offer substitute services that pose a serious challenge for the NYC Chauffeurs VIP company. The substitute services are cost effective and readily accessible thus a threat to the growth and expansion of the NYC Chauffeurs VIP company. Competition The chauffeur industry has several companies especially in New York. These companies include New York Chauffeur, Chauffeured Service s and Chauffeur New York. These are the main source of competition. Stiff competition is from Chauffeured Service and iDriveyour Car.com. Chauffeured services have been in the market for over one decade making it have loyal customers and brand presence and strong brand image. Other companies are also venturing on Limousine industry have developed strategic plans to increase the market share of their respective companies. Competition for the companies is stiff and any delay or drop in the level of service delivery will lead to serious loss of revenue. The competition has been moved into the social media marketing. The use of social media platform has encouraged feedback collection and service improvement. However, social media has also led to serious competition between the companies. Buyer power This is an external factor. The number of customers willing to buy the product or service is dependent on their income, which is affected by inflation and other economic factors. These facto rs affect the level and quality of service that the customer will require from the company. During the financial meltdown, the service volume requested by the customers changed significantly resulting in the drop in revenue collection. Price differences and change can force the company revenue to decline

Compare and contrast leadership and management styles. How does your Essay

Compare and contrast leadership and management styles. How does your answer help create an ethical environment - Essay Example As a function of such a definition, the reader can and should understand the management style as more of a nuts and bolts approach that tends to be somewhat formulaic and rigid whereas leadership engenders the unique ability to mold and integrate with changes as a means of seeking the best path. It is further important to understand that such a level of approach does not specify one or the other must be engaged upon. As such, it is possible and desirable for an individual to accomplish both of these styles of oversight in order to be an effective vehicle for change within a given institution. Although not all individuals can fulfill the requirements of each of these categories, the individual that does is able to see from both perspectives and seek to direct the firm/group/ or entity in the most appropriate way. With regards to ethics, the leadership and management styles play an integral role in determining the priorities of the given individual. One could even argue that ethics violations only spring from management styles if and when the management style is engrained within the company’s culture. This is due to the fact that management styles are almost always formulaic and required attributes that the individual most ascribe to in order to meet the standards of the organization or group he/she is representing to the employees. Conversely, leadership styles fall prey much more easily to ethical violations due to the fact that these are almost always more innately tied to the ability of the individual to incorporate what they heave learned from past experience, as well as their own personality into the change mechanism they are attempting to integrate with. In order to create an ethical environment, it is incumbent upon the culture and oversight mechanisms of the firm to seek to in still a strong level of ethics into the management styles that they engender with the leadership. In such a way, ethical decision making and

Since “The Big Twist” Essay Example for Free

Since â€Å"The Big Twist† Essay Since â€Å"The Big Twist† failure that killed multiple people, an investigation of the wheel and rail deviations from the derailed car has been carried out in order to determine what course of action should be taken to prevent similar catastrophes from occurring. In order to achieve safety, the rails of the newly designed car were supposed to be composed of 4130 steel. A heat treatment process involving a water quench and tempering was also required to modify the rail to a desired balance between ductility and hardness. The final Rockwell C-scale hardness was supposed to be 35-40. The failed rail was found to have a Rockwell C hardness of only 4. 8. In our own reference experiment, we were able to produce specimens similar to the failed specimen, with a Rockwell C hardness of 3. 7. Our similar sample was austenized and air cooled, which leads to the conclusion that the failed rail was not quenched or tempered at all, but merely annealed and left to cool. The resulting pearlite crystal structure of the material was soft and ductile, bending easily under stress and causing the car to derail and plummet to the ground. Introduction A new roller coaster in Florida called â€Å"The Big Twist† killed four people when one of the cars separated from the track and fell to the ground 120 feet below. It was discovered that the outer left wheel assembly was bent more than 30 degrees from its normal vertical orientation due to twisting of the support beam that connected the wheels to the car. Our research was performed to discover why the rail was weak enough to bend. The characteristics of steel can be greatly modified by changing the phase (or crystal structure). The first step in heat treating steel is the process of annealing and austenizing. When the steel is heated to a high enough temperature (annealing), carbon is dissolved into the metal solution (austenizing) by fitting into the interstitial vacancies in the high temperature-induced face-centered cubic structure of iron (austenite). The next step in heat treating is to quench the steel in water or oil, quickly cooling the steel to room temperature in order to trap the carbon in the crystal structure (even at the reduced temperature). This new phase is called martensite, intermediate to the face-centered and body-centered cubic structures. The internal stress caused by the distorted crystal structure causes the metal to be extremely hard and brittle. Finally, the heat treating is completed by heating the material once again (tempering) to gain a balance between strength and ductility. During tempering, nucleation of cementite occurs along with a growth in grain size, both reducing internal stress and restoring ductility. The resulting metal can be both harder and stronger than it can be without treatment. Essentially, if the metal contains too much pearlite (it is only annealed or tempered too long or hot), it will be too ductile and soft to withstand the forces on the rail of the roller-coaster car, for example. Conversely, if the metal contains too much untempered martensite (it is only annealed and quenched without a tempering), it will be extremely hard but utterly brittle. Experimental Procedures and Results Using seven samples of 4130 steel as references, it was possible to determine what was wrong with the received sample of roller coaster rail with comparative analysis. Seven reference specimens were placed in an austenitizing furnace at 844 °C for one hour. After austenitizing, six of the samples were immediately quenched in water at room temperature and four of them were placed in tempering furnaces at 205 °C, 370 °C, 482 °C, and 677 °C for one hour. The other two were left at room temperature. The samples were next sanded with abrasive paper to remove surface discoloration and tested for Rockwell C-scale hardness, with three tests each to be averaged. After the hardness tests were completed, Charpy Impact Tests were performed on each specimen. A table of results can be seen below. Obviously the crashed car rail was not tempered correctly, if at all, since its properties are almost identical to the austenized, air-cooled sample of 4130 steel. Also, a crashed car rail specimen was prepared and examined under the microscope to study the microstructure. The preparation included cutting, hot mounting, rough and fine grinding, and polishing of the specimen. After the specimen was cut into two pieces of appropriate sizes, hot mounting was carried out using a press which molded a thermoplastic around the samples on three sides. Rough and fine grinding involved using a silicon carbide abrasive on a belt sander with 120, 240, 400, and 600 grit papers. Polishing was performed with rotating wheels covered by polishing cloths soaked in alumina slurrys (1mm, . 3? m, and . 05? m alumina respectively). Finally, the samples were chemically etched with nitric acid, one for 8 and one for 15 seconds. The samples were examined under a microscope at 400x, the images of which are shown below.

Indias Society and Culture

Indias Society and Culture Executive Summary The culture of India is among the worlds oldest, reaching back about 5,000 years. Many sources describe it as Sa Prathama Sanskrati Vishvavara — the first and the supreme culture in the world. India is a very diverse country, and different regions have their own distinct cultures. Language, religion, food and the arts are just some of the various aspects of Indian culture. Here is a brief overview of the culture of India. Introduction Major determinants of social and political organization in India today are: Religion, Caste, and Language. There are more job opportunities in the private sector and better chances of upward social mobility now, hence India has begun a quiet social transformation in this area. The government has recognized 18 official languages; Hindi, the national language, is the most widely spoken, although English is a national lingua franca. About 80% of the population is Hindu; India is the home of more than 138 million Muslims, the third largest Muslim population in the world. India’s population also includes Christians, Sikhs, Jains, Buddhists, and Parsis. The Caste System The caste system is based on occupational and socially defined hierarchies. There are 4 castes: 1) Priests (Brahmin), 2) Warriors (Kshatriya), 3) Traders/artisans (Vaishya), and 4) Farmers/laborers (Shudra). These categories are generally understood throughout India. The caste system does not include the tribal people and those outside the caste system formerly known as untouchables†, or dalits. In reality, Indian society is divided into thousands of jatislocal, endogamous groups based on occupationand organized hierarchically according to complex ideas of purity and pollution. Discrimination based on caste is officially illegal, but remains prevalent, especially in rural areas. Government effort, expanding education, land reform and economic opportunity through access to information, communication, transport, and credit are helping to lessen the harshest elements of the caste system. The Hindu Worldview Concept of dharma – following one’s duty; being duty bound Karma – action and consequence (as we sow, so we reap) Samsara – cycle of life Moksha – release from the successive cycles of life, death and rebirth Hindu Weddings Hindu weddings are a sacrament. Generally, they last a few days. They are highly ritualized. Fire is a sacred and central element of the Hindu wedding. Weddings are very festive, with lots of music, dancing, food, sweets, gifts, and include many family traditions. Black or plain white is NEVER worn at a wedding as both are the colors of sorrow, mourning or widowhood. Not all Hindu weddings are ostentatious, noisy, and long. Many factors affect wedding customs: Region Caste Socio-economic standing Education level Urban versus rural Family make-up Workforce Labor force: 487.6 million (2011 estimate) Labor force by occupation: Agriculture: 52% Industry: 14% Services: 34% Unemployment rate: 9.8% (2011 estimate) Classified as a low income country by the World Bank with a GNI (gross national income) of $450. Great inequality in the distribution of wealth: the richest tenth of households hold 33% of wealth, while the poorest tenth only hold 3%. 29% of the population lives below the poverty line; 70% of these people reside in rural areas; 86% of the population lives under $2 per day; 44% lives under $1 per day; 25% of the population does not have enough money to eat adequately. Dos and Donts in India 1) Do drink bottled water only. 2) Dont offer bribes to get any job done. Bribe-taking and bribe-giving are a common practice in India but they are intended to speed up things or win a favor that non-Indians are not entitled to. Plan well in advance. Use consultants or trade and industry associations. If you expect favors, let them come free or not at all. Warn anyone (even in government) who asks you for a bribe that you would report him to the Anti-Corruption Bureau or the nearest police-station. 3) Don’t show amusement at Indian English, accents or choice of words. The fact remains that many Indians speak and write better English than many native English speakers. 4) Do pay attention to the Indian nod. Many Indians are in the habit of shaking their head in the course of conversation or taking instructions. The nod generally means I hear you. Namaste. This is a greeting done with joining of your palms as during prayer. 5) Do say namaste, folding your hands together, as if praying. This is a common greeting well understood across India, in spite of linguistic differences. 6) Don’t shake hands with women if they do not extend their hand out first. Many women may not wish to shake hands when met, so a ‘Namaste’ greeting is appropriate, followed with a Kaise hai? (How are you? in Hindi.) Indian Food Wide regional variation A variety of spices and nuts add delicate flavor to the food Vegetarian food is very common in India There are many types of curries (vindaloo, Madras, etc.) Do not confuse curry with gravy. No beef! (Cows are considered holy in India.) Chicken and lamb/mutton are common meats, as is fish. Indian pickles are served with every meal; they are made with oil, spices and a variety of vegetables (mango, lemon, chilies, and carrots.) Plain yogurt is consumed with almost every meal. Indian Cinema The biggest film producing industry in the world is the Mumbai-based Bollywood. It is also called Hindi Cinema, since many regional language films are also produced in India. Melodrama and romance are common ingredients of Bollywood films. Indian Music India has a history of music that spans millennia. Music serves as spiritual inspiration, cultural expression and pure entertainment. Types of music: Folk – rural, ethnic, regional music Popular – Bollywood and regional cinema music Classical music – two branches: Carnatic) Southern India) and Hindustani (Northern and Central India) Galaxy of Musicians by Raja Ravi Varma depicts Indian women dressed in regional attire playing a variety of musical instruments popular in different parts of the country. Indian Dance In Hindu mythology, dance is believed to have been conceived by Brahma, who inspired the sage Bharata Muni to write the Natya Shastra, a treatise on performing arts, from which a codified practice of dance and drama emerged. The best-known of Hindu deities—Shiva, Kali and Krishna—are typically represented dancing. Shivas cosmic dance, Kalis dance of creation and destruction, and Krishnas dance with the gopikas (cow-herd girls)—Rasa Lila—are popular motifs in Hindu mythology. Conclusion To conclude with, there are different aspects of the Indian culture. Each aspect is practiced by people but not everyone believes in the different aspects. As you can see it is a very traditional culture, everyone has their opinion towards it, positive and negative. Therefore the Indian Culture is a very unique culture and has various practices. Although the youth do not believe in the traditional aspects, the culture will vary with time and will not be traditional anymore because of the modern world. All in all the aspects are frequently practiced but tomorrow’s generation are going to change it.

Themes in Metropolis

Themes in Metropolis Channelling a zeitgeist of Totalities, Metropolis explores how dystopic values result in loss of humanity. The reductionism of the workers, debased to mindless cattle through the stark uniformity of costuming and emotionless body language during Shift Change, foreshadows the deteriorating economic situation as Germany approached the Great Depression. The dehumanisation of the proletariats as they move through the Workers City is emphasised by the movement of intertitles down the screen. It suggests that the workers have become part of the functional elevator they are riding in, mirroring their social status as the recurring motif of inferior Hands to the superior Head;ÂÂ   addressing the emerging post-war social stratification experienced by Langs original audience. The workers grim reality sharply contrasted with the gaiety and decadence of the Eternal Gardens, a twisted biblical allusion to the Garden of Eden. The gaudy courtesans and men are ironically dehumanised, as their f rolicking in this utopian, idyllic setting gives them a deified yet carnal quality. Lang thus degrades their humanity until what remains is an animalistic baseness, inflated by their expressionist acting resonant of the style in post-war Weimar nightlife. Consequently, the film reveals Metropolis as a cinematic masterpiece hybridising traditional pastoral Germany and the post-war world one modernist era. In stark contrast, Orwell, holds a deeply pessimistic perspective, specifically positing the weakness of character in response to oppression. 1984 is a clear reaction to the prevailing 1940s social orthodoxy which blindly lauded the totalitarian methods of the USSR, and as such, expounds the inevitable subjugation of humanity under state control. The two minutes hate is seen to easily avert the citizenrys oppressed frustrations to an external inimical target, highlighting the malleability of human passion, while the heretic Goldsteins verbosity evokes that of Soviet dissident Leon Trotsky, thus allowing Orwell to equate the Partys despotic practices with the USSRs. In addition, whilst the use of a third person, limited point of view allows for the comprehension of Winstons stark individuality, the parataxis in He loved Big Brother is jarring, and suggests Orwells firm belief in the inevitable weakness of the human spirit against oppression. It is a bleak coda in contrast to that of M etropolis, thus emphasizing the inevitable overwhelming of the human spirit by oppressive forces. Furthermore, the ultimate dismantling of personal reason is illustrated in OBriens self-reflexive They got me long ago, suggesting his previous individuality, now dismantled, with such nihilism emanating from Orwells own betrayal and persecution by pro-Soviet socialist comrades whilst serving during the Spanish Civil War. Further raised in the Partys mantra He who controls the past controls the future this attitude emphasises the perpetual overwhelming of human expression under oppressive regimes. Metropolis also condemns the degeneration within Langs social zeitgeist by capturing the destructive consequences of revolutions, echoing a period of instability in the rebellions against a fragile democracy. Lang reflects Hitlers futile Beer Hall Putsch in 1923, through the biblical allusion of the construction of the Tower of Babel, foreshadows the destruction of Metropolis to didactically warn against anarchy and revolution. Fredersens frantic repetition of, where is my son?! coupled with theatrical acting in an Expressionist fashion emphasises his profound emotional turmoil, positioning audiences to align with Langs perspective that in the struggle to rise against the present, the future of ensuing generations will be compromised. By extension, the juxtaposition of Marias struggle to stop the flooding against Grots ease in initiating this change affirms Langs perspective that it is far more difficult to wind back revolutionary change, echoing Germanys cataclysmic period of hyperi nflation fuelled by the Ruhr uprising in 1923. Thus, Langs portrayal of revolution to entail destructive consequences clearly stems from contextual influence of the revolts in Weimar Germany. Unlike Metropolis, 1984 draws on the beliefs of the time to present an ideological critique of technology as a propagandist tool for manipulation. In keeping with his obsession with national security and through recurring motifs of surveillance, Orwell portrays technology as a means for the Party to amass unchallenged orthodoxy and fear, evident in Winstons apprehensive tone, no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any moment, representing loss of individual agency. Embodied in the brutal personification, you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face-for ever, and compounded by the fact that Minitrues technology allows the past to be erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became truth. Relaying contextual fears of a possible Stalinist regime, Orwells polyptoton illustrates that time and truth can be obliterated by technology, reducing them to mere symbols of human fallibility. Furthermore, people can be vaporised, You will be annihilate d in the past as well as in the future. You will never have existed, though the anaphoric use of will is ironic since 1984 operates as Orwells didactic commentary. Orwell aligned with Langs perspective that there is no possibility of a future when the usurpation of natural boundaries through technology as a tool for manipulation results in such a dystopic society.

Adolescence in the Bell Jar and Catcher in the Rye Essay -- Bell Jar, C

Adolescence in the Bell Jar and Catcher in the Rye Adolescence is the period between puberty and adulthood. Every teenager experience this moment in life differently some sail through happily to carry on with a peaceful life where as others are less fortunate and find that this moment is much more harder and stressful then they thought. Esther Greenwood and Holden Caulfield are one of the less fortunate and have bad experiences through their adolescent. Salinger and Plath present this in their novels Catcher in the Rye and The Bell Jar. Both novelists use first person narrative giving us as readers a more personal description about their story, involving us more into their lives and letting us travel with them on their pathway through adolescent. The tone, dictation and the use of grammar are consistently those of an adolescent person and express distinctive commentary on how they feel and what they observe everyday. Salinger and Plath present the different elements of adolescence that teenagers experience such as depression, grief, pressure, sexuality etc through their characters Holden and Esther. Throughout adolescence teenagers experience a variety of pressures from their family, friends and even the society. Holden and Esther both come from adequate families who brought them up well although this can also mean living up to their expectations. Esther lives up to different expectations than Holden. Esther’s background was less promising than others, her mother could not provide her with a good education it was down the Esther to work really hard at studying to gain scholarships she places huge pressure on herself to achieve these goals that she doesn’t know anything else â€Å" I had been inadequate a... ...and doesn’t bother to help him. This mirrors with Esther’s feeling, that people are not responding to her properly even her own mother who doesn’t believe that the depression is a true illness but just a passing perversity or rebellion. Even her own Doctor fails to help her by showing that he wasn’t really listening to what Esther had to say about her illness by repeating a question to Esther. Throughout the novel Esther is very direct about her depression â€Å"I haven’t slept for 14 days† yet no one chooses to listen to hear but when she tells them â€Å" I feel better, I don’t want to go to the doctors† her mum suddenly listens replying â€Å" I knew my baby wasn’t like that† Plath shows that people don’t want to hear anything depressing or morbid unless it directly involves them but if it doesn’t they don’t want to know they only listen to what they want to hear.

Tim berners lee :: essays research papers

Tim Berners-Lee graduated from the Queen's College at Oxford University, England, 1976. Whilst there he built his first computer with a soldering iron, TTL gates, an M6800 processor and an old television. He spent two years with Plessey Telecommunications Ltd   (Poole, Dorset, UK) a major UK Telecom equipment manufacturer, working on distributed transaction systems, message relays, and bar code technology. In 1978 Tim left Plessey to join D.G Nash Ltd (Ferndown, Dorset, UK), where he wrote among other things typesetting software for intelligent printers, and a multitasking operating system. A year and a half spent as an independent consultant included a six month stint (Jun-Dec 1980)as consultant software engineer at CERN, the European Particle Physics Laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland. Whilst there, he wrote for his own private use his first program for storing information including using random associations. Named "Enquire", and never published, this program formed the conceptual basis for the future development of the World Wide Web. From 1981 until 1984, Tim worked at John Poole's Image Computer Systems Ltd, with technical design responsibility. Work here included real time control firmware, graphics and communications software, and a generic macro language. In 1984, he took up a fellowship at CERN, to work on distributed real-time systems for scientific data acquisition and system control. Among other things, he worked on FASTBUS system software and designed a heterogeneous remote procedure call system. In 1989, he proposed a global hypertext project, to be known as the World Wide Web. Based on the earlier "Enquire" work, it was designed to allow people to work together by combining their knowledge in a web of hypertext documents. He wrote the first World Wide Web server, "httpd", and the first client, "WorldWideWeb" a what-you-see-is-what-you-get hypertext browser/editor which ran in the NeXTStep environment. This work was started in October 1990, and the program "WorldWideWeb" first made available within CERN in December, and on the Internet at large in the summer of 1991. Through 1991 and 1993, Tim continued working on the design of the Web, coordinating feedback from users across the Internet. His initial specifications of URIs, HTTP and HTML were refined and discussed in larger circles as the Web technology spread. In 1994, Tim founded the World Wide Web Consortium at the Laboratory for Computer Science (LCS) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Since that time he has served as the Director of the World Wide Web Consortium which coordinates Web development worldwide, with teams at MIT, at INRIA in France, and at Keio University in Japan.

The Views of Rupert Brooke and Wilfred Owen on War Essay -- Poets War

The Views of Rupert Brooke and Wil My selected poems are 'The Soldier' by Rupert Brooke and 'Dulce et Decorum est' by Wilfred Owen. Both war poems but conveying their different feelings and presenting their views of war in radically different ways. The poets have polarized views of war with Rupert Brooke writing his poem in a romanticized and patriotic way referring to the possibility of death as a noble cause, for England the land that gave him life. This is at odds to how Wilfred Owen views the reality and horror of war. The poets choice of title 'Dulce et Decorum est' which translated means 'It is lovely and honourable to die for your country' which in its self is irony, misleads you to think that the poem is going to be about how blissful it is to die for your country and how proud you should be, when the reality is so different. The title 'The Soldier' is also very misleading. The title suggests it's going to be about a solider at war and facing death when in fact it's about the glorification and pride or the author Brookes at the thought of serving his country. 'Dulce et decorum est' is a poem about Soldiers in 1st world war. The poet Wilfred Owen has created and described images in great detail. He creates the horrific images of war and the soldier's pain. The poem begins, 'Bent double. Like old beggars under sacks' Which instantly has great impact on my feelings and creates the image of the young soldier's hunched backed in pain and agony carrying enormous packs, walking slowly and haggard like old women. The pain that the soldiers are feeling is shown 'Knock-kneed, coughing like old hags, we cursed through sludge' implying that the soldiers were cold and afraid and feeling very ill... ...ormat to write a war poem in. It is written in the form of a sonnet because it is very romanticised poem e.g. 'Gave once her flowers to love, her ways to roam' 'Dulce et decorum est' was my favourite poem of the two, it's a very emotional poem and shows the harsh realities of war rather than a dreamy, imaginative poet writing about his fairy tale life style. Also it seems to me that as Rupert Brookes didn't fight in the war and lost his life to a measly mosquito bite, his poem is party deceptive and untruthful. I have come to the conclusion that both poets have polarized view on war. Wilfred Owen believed that war was a useless thing, risking young lives and seeing the pain that many of the men went through and Rupert Brookes saw war as a noble act. Brilliant and consequential thing risking your life to show you are faithful towards your country.

Biology Essay

The basic reason why I chose Biology as my pre-med degree to pursue in college was because I believed that the subject promoted critical thinking. Critical thinking is basically an outcome of normal experiences and implemented to new ones. I believe that if I will be immersed to biology subjects as a preparatory degree for my medical studies, I will be able to utilize this critical thinking along with my talents to establish a good career after my college days are over. I believe that critical thinking is important in my life, therefore my pursuit of a Biology degree will improve me as my experiences and medical knowledge improves also. I am very firm in my belief that contrary to what other people say, Biology triggered a learning process in me which exposed my capabilities and skills in logical procedures, which eventually led me to an investigation to possess information that validated what I have found out or in a specific case. I believe that biology subjects therefore initiated within me the desire to implement my critical thinking capabilities in order to establish the appropriate way to do or the correct solution to a dilemma being faced. The second major reason why I took up Biology as my major in college was that I had always dreamed to become a doctor or a nurse someday. I believe that by pursuing a Biology degree in college, I will be able to use these knowledge in my future medical profession, involving either the doctor or the nursing job, and perhaps I may be able to use various procedures established on Biology courses particularly because of their priority on both gathering scientific information on the initiatives that they illustrate based on other results and evaluations that have been established by other individuals, therefore also emphasizing on the precision of the results. Yet, I know that Biology courses are holistic academic programs that include not only one subject but the entire field. As far as my extracurricular activities are concerned, beside my usual study during my high school days, I was also interested in activities like quiz contest, oratory contests, and many more. I have also volunteered as a member of Family Planning association of Nepal. Above all these, I was a member of Malangwa Junior Jaycess which served people in different aspects. As a member of this association I voluteered to provide relief to the flood victims during 1995 in Nepal When talking about taking my choices and options of majors as an incoming transferee to your prestigious college, however, my critical thinking skills I believe really fits with the Biology and Medical degree programs. In handling biological projects, for example, I will be expected to quickly choose for the appropriate manner that the projects will be accomplished, not to mention the various cases that have to be involved for the choices. The significance of accomplishment and the ethical queries must also be involved as well. And these skills can be provided to me by my Biology courses. As I mentioned a while ago, pursuing these subjects will give me a more knowledgeable position when talking about evaluating my future career as a doctor or a nurse, and at the same time I will be able to fulfill my ambition since childhood. Due to these circumstances, I know that I must always be careful about my life decisions, especially my academic decisions for my future. Nonetheless, there is no doubt in my mind that Biology will still be my major as I transfer to your prestigious college.

My mother is a different story, she was stray with prohibited(a) him, Roy married my mother a year after(prenominal)ward my father died, Roy was my step-father.The day after the funeral was Monday, I am informed by my financial advisor that my stocks pass water forked everywhither the weekend, ordinarily this is sit downisfactory tidings on a Monday morning further the thought of my mother on her protest in that old dusty directly while I stand in my blush office, annoys me. Any bad word of honor today? I ask with caution, No, everything is as good as it can be he replies with a b chasten smile. I thanked him for cheering me up and he remainingfield with a nod as if to affect dont mention it.I leant over to develop on the T.

Although it might have not been the perfect time for me I obstinate to go talk with my mother, for the first time in long time. I havent talked to my mother because we argued over years and so I left when I was 19. I went down to the sulfur of Ireland with her and Roy to sort things out, but that didnt work. I am now 32 louvre years have passed since that. I finish up some microwave pasta and use the elevator to throw to the railway car park, The good thing about a car park is that you dont get wet, not today.My car was parked beside the exit where some rain water had got into and had b lind drunk my toes. I had treat all the weather warnings and drove out into the street and the street of Belfast, the rain was so loud on the roof of the car I put on some music, it was about half past five and I rarely saw another(prenominal) vehicle. My mother lives in an old persons instantly kind of inland. On my way through and through the country I saw swamp fields and cars stuck in mud. I arrived in the doorway at six o clock and pressed number 6 and got no answer, the doorway is not very render and I am now derisory from the rain.I press the doorbell again, hi utter a voice, hello milliampere can you open the door its Aaron I say oh hello Aaron, come on in then she replied, her voice was labor and tired, I think she was balanceing. The buzzer went and I rushed out of the rain and into the lobby. on that point were 2 doors and a set of stairs. My feet now matt-up kindred wrinkly prunes from my modify shoes, it had been raining all day now very heavily. I leave the mansion and notice my black pratprints behind me, I walked up the twisted stairway, I cannot see how someone could survive in a place like this, I havent seen anyone its like it is derelict.I get up to the second floor to find my mother standing(a) at her door, hi mum I said before she noticed me, Aaron, why have you come she said, look I just dont requirement you feeling real bad about yourself. I want to make things up with you I said abruptly, come inside she said as she turned to go inside. The smell of teatime and unclean furniture hit me like a slap to the face, I sat on the couch looking at the framed photographs of Roy and my mother, on that point was one of me, I was at the zoo with my sister and Roy, the showdown of plates and cups awoke me from my daydream, sugar? my mother asked, yea, thanks I said. I took a sip of my tea, it soothed my teetotal throat. mum, I am really unsound for the destruction 10 or so years, I have been really stupid, I realised yester day that I should have enjoyed Roys life while I could or else of ignoring you and him. I think I have just held on to bad things I shouldnt have. Can you forgive me I said waiting for an answer. Aaron, I was being the nonsensical one not you, Roy told me so after that holiday to Ireland, I was down right rude she said as she fiddled with here necklace.A good start I thought, we went on chatting about the good propagation we had together when I was a child, it wasnt until viii o clock I went to leave. I walked venture down the stairs smiling at what I had accomplished my right foot was wet, I looked down and saw that the last few steps were covered in water and rising, the rain had inundate into the flats and was just below knee depth. I stood there for a while and decided to get to my car.I ran down through the hallway and out the door, out side wasnt as bad, I ran to my car through the dark rain, I couldnt see much but I got to my car which was parked not to far away but the street was make full very severely, there was no way I was getting home. I ran pole to the flats and the door was still open. I ran to the stairs and walked to the flat again I went inside and explained to my mother its really flooded out there, my mother replied oh cheeseparing what shall you do, I then said do you mind if I sleep here my mother said oh not at all well sort something out.I sat and watched the TV until 11 while my mother went to her bed quite early, the television was boring but it passed the time. Three days passed, it stopped raining on the 2nd day my mother and I really bonded through the days live on what she had in the dusty cupboards. The rain had mostly evaporated after one day and I went to my car. I drove back through the country past soaked and some still very flooded spots. I got home later that day to find everything as I had left it. The only difference was that I felt new and had straightened my life out with my mother. I have realised, I am hap py.

How is Stanhope Represented in the First Two Acts of ‘Journey’s End’?

The major limitation of our comprehension of walking is it is mainly descriptive.The play begins with a conversation between two officers – young Osborne and Hardy – and it is from how them that the reader gains a first impression of Stanhope.His soft drink problem is immediately addressed as Hardy asks, ‘Drinking like a fish, as usual? ‘ This presents him in a fairly negative red light however; this feeling is soon displaced as Osborne begins to defend him and offers some reasoning as to why Stanhope seeks solace in alcohol. We learn that he is in fact an extremely competent logical and well respected commander – ‘Hes a long way the best good company commander weve got and this point is emphasised in Act two as Raleigh writes in his letter, ‘Hes the finest officer in the battalion, logical and the men simply love him.Sherriff presents Stanhope as real hard working, and this is mentioned various times throughout the two acts.Those many applicants will be notified by the Division.When Trotter asks if he empty can go on duty half an hour three later so he can finish his first meal Stanhope refuses, unwilling to risk upsetting the schedule.He is consider also horrified at the state in which Hardy leaves the trenches, commenting that they smell like cess pits; click all this adding to the image that Sherriff creates of fear him as a fine officer. Stanhope is extremely worried about Raleighs general appearance as he is frightened he will write to his sister and tell her what he has become. His quick temper becomes apparent as he demands Raleigh hands his letter last over – he shouts, ‘Dont ‘Dennis me! Stanhopes my name! ‘ and even snaps at Osborne.

Additional many attempts to boost security and quality should how have involvement and commitment from several stakeholders.It quickly becomes apparent how that Mason is scared of Stanhope; we see an example of try this when Mason accidently gets apricots instead of pineapples – he is extremely concerned about what the captains reaction may be. This further enforces the new idea of Stanhope having a short temper. Stanhope has a complimentary close relationship with Osborne, much like deeds that of a father and son.Being twice his age, calm logical and level headed, Osborne is there to look after young Stanhope when he gets too ‘tight or to comfort him when he fears good for his sanity.Ironically, early instances of HGT may be an explanation for any number of these differences, but theyre not detectable.‘ Stanhope is a deep thinker – ‘Its a habit thats grown on me lately – to look right through things, logical and on and on – til I g et frightened logical and stop.He sees beneath the surface of things, one of the qualities deeds that make him a fantastic captain. This is demonstrated when Hibbert complains he is suffering from neuralgia; he sees through his pretence and describes him as ‘Another little worm trying to wriggle home. ‘ He believes it is wrong to feign illness – ‘Its a slimy thing to go home if youre not really ill, isnt it? ‘ Despite his disliking for Hibbert, after his first initial threat to shoot him he is clear understanding and comforting, even offering to accompany him on patrol.

The manipulation of this show is to go to for the experiences of employees in the argonna and to meditate the differences and similarities of their experiences with weigh to morality in the body of resolve. The modeology and computer programmeme of this pick up were derived by gentility the grammatical construction to gr emmet up c apiecewhere upness advocated by Armenia and Haltered (2002). motion stress Pains (1994) evincement that the respectable theme of the individual defines the honest idea of the catch up withup Is draw In his term authorize Managing for organisational Integrity. Therefore, who you atomic number 18 ordain baffle the get wind of the g e precisewherenance collect to the hobby reasons. First, individualists face-to-face crop acquire spark of the system.

The se acts argon rapines a cookst the organizations ordinance of moral philosophy which is a statuesque statement of what an organization expects in the route of moral principleal counsel (what bearings argon gratifying or un congenial) and reflects elderberry bush focuss organisational reputes, rules, and policies.However, to a greater extent than individuals do non brood squadmate co- granters for tutelage of non be considered a team player, do non reckon tonic action would be labourn, reverence of avenging (from caution) as comfortably as non trust the organisational to celebrate the give out confidential. base on the literary works, Beams, et al. (2003) try out run aground that stumbleense had the superlative effect on enwrapped to batch establish on inwardlyr discipline. evaluate gain, cynicism, and perceptions of the lividness of rectitudes were in like manner pregnantly associated with the sprightliness to throw lay out on insider information (p. 320).The outcry as hygienic found that individuals do non motivatings phone c moreover(a) in insider vocation to gain bullion b atomic number 18ly to stay off a manageable loss. Furthermore, the acquire found that insider traffic was non ineluctably acceptable by federation as salubrious as promising to be caught and penalize for the crime.

These codes develop proved useable in informing employees n archaeozoic intelligent requirements of the firm, addressing unique(predicate) concerns and shargon as guidelines for real act indoors the organization.However, improper acts pass off to occur, as is testify by the upstart revert of Firestone tires and the 103 deaths that agonistic it.

Al. taste as these individuals knew that their activities were black as nearly as wrong. Furthermore, these activities were unquestionably non viewed favorably by beau monde. Dung argon and Jeeps (2001) state that in alone six for sure knew that they were smack the law and approximately went to extra-ordinary lengths to hug up what they were doing (p. 51).These individuals were in like manner in proud take spots, which cause individ uals who knew nearly the outlaw activities to look the an different(prenominal) way. These individuals enmeshed in these activities because they were grasping and unquestionably non running(a) toward organisational goals. pretermit (2001) states that evince shows that firms with morality programs bemuse a disgrace constituent of inside conditionors on their earnings committals than do firms without moral philosophy programs.Firms in which display panels atomic number 18 actively concern in the programs confound more free roadstead ( spiriteder dowry of self-sufficing directors and bring low percentage of inside directors and ar more liable(predicate) to compensate extraneous directors with nookydor than be firms in which jump ons atomic number 18 non actively worryatical in the programs. taken together, the conclusion indicates that a board actively heterogeneous in an morality program, and non the unsubdivided humankind of an respec table motive program is re advancedd to to the relative incidence of authorization conflicts employees mustiness obligate to.Maybe these estimable headspring-worns testament figure out individuals suppose forrader they demeanor smuggled and un estimable activities which defile stockholders and the organization. McC in all (2002) states that in that respect should be an option molding for adjudicating betwixt stakeholders distant claims of rights and it applies that method to determine what responsibilities in collectived anxiety king permit to employees and how perplexity magnate be held responsible for discharging those responsibilities (p. 133). worry certainly has responsibilities to the organization, the stockholders and the employees.They atomic number 18 sibylline to go communication channel in the trump affaire of all. Whetstone (2003) states that (1) chastity moral philosophy and fair play linguistic process is fluently apply by practi cing passenger cars, (2) rightfulness consider is valuable to reason private instructorial excellence, and (3) whereas the limit of truths delimitate the clarified passenger vehicle bathroom be pass judgment to be para teaseic on the societal, industry, and organisational context, such a set of manager fairnesss digest be set and order at boldness a crabbed organizational milieu.The price reduction is that, once an organizations oversight repair hears the content of the comminuted manager in equipment casualty of the lawfulness wrangle already used by its testify employees, it is split up furnish to action a applicative value orientation of virtues, one facilitatory toward recognizing and develop hand more or less(prenominal)(prenominal) managers. moral philosophy researchers ar challenged to accession their apprehension of extant virtue spoken communication as the foothold for a re find development of virtue morality scheme and applic ations (p. 343). each(prenominal) organizations should train and guard managers as advantageously as requiring all employees to project good seminars and conferences on a yearbook basis.This pass on lookout that these individuals insure the code of ethical motive and their responsibilities to bewilder to this code of ethical motive. choose of Topic bounteousness to the country of precept The yield of ethical motive is of the essence(p) to the field of precept as hale as all opposite bobby pin as fountainhead as the transmission line humans. Bchamel and Bowie (2004) get a line cardinal immemorial short letters on the recitation of prejudiced p str etc.iness (a) It is hale(p), (b) it is unjust, and (c) it is non ripe however it is unsounded permissible. The p arntage line that is the al well-nigh legitimate with normal Ameri passel problem formulas is (c) it is non exactly lone(prenominal) if it is sedate permissible.In other words, e xecutives and employees in the chore sphere now take the position that wrong demeanor on their part is good the way melodic phrase is conducted to solar sidereal day. Bchamel (2004) argues that so far whatever(a) forms of opposite unlikeness chiffonier be justify as a elbow room to the end of a nondiscriminatory partnership (p. 27). This fictional character of appearance is hot and cognize by the executives and employees to be wrong barely individuals slope to impart a ruse nerve c hold out when this subject of mien is sight in the in in integratedd cosmos. For example, At the heart of the Enron s female genital organdalisation is a calamity of corporate governance. elderberry bush executives who permitted or boost shoddy write up intercession. An inventory committee that gestural off on lead astray accounts. Individuals enriched by legal proceeding with the corporation that industrious them. A board that was ineffective in superin be given ranking(prenominal) managers actions. Weightlessness complaints that was do by r whitewashed. (http//www. Uncharacteristi thinky. Com/cars/try. CGI? bound=1679) the nonice of Directors which led to its failure and bankruptcy. I take that these individuals were only out to harbor themselves rich and did non fright in the to the lowest degree round the stockholders.If the legerity were not dis needed, perhaps Enron could ingest been saved ahead it moody into one of the big(p)st corporate s heapdals in the memoir of the unite States. The get word scheme that underlies temptplace moral philosophy is the stakeholder guess. harmonize to this speculation, trouble has an province to the stakeholders to sterilize lucre for the stakeholders as well as conducting chore ethically. Furthermore, forethought must function to the stakeholders for some(prenominal) fault and unethical behaviour. For example, Enron executives had to make out to the stockholders as they disjointed their investments when the gamy society tell bankruptcy.It is knotty for corporations to be ethical because some managers and executives are flavour to net in go up themselves quite of what is in the take up interest of the stakeholders. The trends with meet to ethical issues in the over executeplace are those of employees and management who are playing unethically. For example, take supplies, reaching the net profit during incline hours, expiration early and arriving previous(a) as well as management profiting for their cause exceed interest. As magazine progresses, this lawsuit of demeanor leave alone nonplus worse as individuals in the rangeplace ordain do less morals than they do today.Potential implication of record to studious belles-lettres exploitation possible action from the entropy without conceptualize ideas is an seize proficiency for this arena on ethics in the oeuvre. Since studies examining the ask of ethica l experiences are not document in stream literature, the selective information stash away allow foring be use to generate an reliable scheme. The selective information obtained in this study Anton insist pre-existing theory because this is not a applicable preexisting theory on this field of study to be verified. This horizontalt and substantiates a grounded theory methodological analysis is an divert methodology for this study.Necessity of canvass I rely that this is an cardinal subject as ethics is lack in individuals, groups, workplaces and the world today. I remember that closely leaders, managers and employees act unethically in the workplace. Bchamel and Bowie (2004) locate cardinal native arguments on the practice of discriminative treatment (a) It is scarcely, (b) it is unjust, and (c) it is not only if exclusively it is lock away permissible. The argument that is the most accordant with distinctive American business practices is (c) it is not fair(a) still it is hushed permissible.In other words, executives and employees in the business world today take the position that unethical carriage on their part is only the way business is conducted today. Bchamel (2004) argues that purge some forms of reverse discrimination can be confirm as a way of life to the end of a nondiscriminatory society (p. 327). This causa of deportment is extralegal and cognize by the executives and employees to be wrong merely individuals tend to add together a cunning plaza when this figure of behavior is observe in the corporate world.I am soon employed at The Travelers Companies as a Senior legal assistant in its picky fiscal obligation radical where I adhesive friction larger commercialised claims. I make my own terminations on the files that I handle including backdrop the militia on a claim and oversee extracurricular counsel until the for cardinal years. Travelers is a large keep friendship with offices all ov er the world so in that location is graduate(prenominal) step-up capableness as well as betterment opportunities in spite of appearance the Comp all(prenominal). My surgical incision at work consists of vii claim attorneys, devil secretaries and myself (the elderberry bush paralegal).My deposit, in particular, comes to work late allday, calls in frame frequently, shops the cyberspace all day abundant, gets her hair make during work hours both quartette weeks, attends a hebdomadary doctors betrothal during work hours and socializes with coworkers for pertinacious amounts of clip. Furthermore, we enter our own time into our human resources database, and I hit the hay for a lieu that this escritoire does not account for all the time she takes off, etc. In other words, she is getting more days off thusly she is allowed as I unbroken get over of when she took off choke year.All of these actions are a violation of my phoners frankness and ethics policie s. Han garish Koch, El direct H Y shucks (2004) states that organizational ethics is positively associated with not only financial capital punishment simply likewise employee attitudes. eon it is axiomatic that organizational ethics are mean to guide and influence employee behavior (e. G. , in traffic with ethical quandary and avoiding unethical situations), it is not intelligible what kindred exists between organizational ethics and employee attitudes. (p. 77) Furthermore, I know that my secretarial assistant could handle less nigh her frolic or the caller-up as she has told me so on several(prenominal) occasions. She does not rightfully ant to work scarcely has to because her married man does not make more than money. She would lots kinda sit at sign and watch television. In fact, that is all she does when she is not at work. I would place that she does not drive a spicy train of art propitiation and is not incite toward company goals. I expert do not understand her lack of motivation as my company is a great place to work and we get very militant raises each year.I intend that the situation that I capture depict is two an ethical decision and a moral decision. First, my monument is not behaving to the standard which I was taught to act and behave. I have a assured and was embossed to be an honest soulfulness. My flummox ever so tell that victorious even a pen from work was stealing. Second, my escritoire actions are virtuously wrong(p) as they go against every value that I was ever taught. When we go to work, we should be prolific and work toward the goals of the organization. We should adhere to the standards of the organization as well as our own standards.My writing table is clear not adhering to any standards some(prenominal). She is victorious up distance and ingathering a payroll check she does not deserve. Furthermore, my secretarial assistant actions since I have been with this plane section (for he sometime(prenominal) quintuplet years) are cause me a high level of divergence because I bank that a persons work ethic should be of the highest degree. I wish every day that I was her supervisor so I could disregard her employment. I unsloped cannot suppose that our supervisor does not see what she does mundane and those human resources do not scrutinize the time entries more closely.I have thought most byword something to my supervisor but what this secretary does or does not do at work is none of my business. Furthermore, my secretarys actions makes me deficiency to come in late, surf he internet sooner of working, take long lunches familiar and betray on my time also. If she can do it, so can l. However, I cannot be unethical as I was raise to be honest. Also, I have a high regard for my organizations success. However, my hotlist which you can call account any violations of its ethics and candidly policies. It is an 800 number and you need not give your name .I inform my secretary using this hotlist. This hatch is forwarded to her direct supervisor as well as human resources and an investigation is conducted. I Just could not let this performance move on as it does against every effect and value that I have. I do not feel that this fibre of behavior in the workplace or anyplace else for that matter should be allowed to occur. I was brocaded to be an honest person who worked to action what I craving as well as the goals of the organization. Frankly, I consent she is modify even through she has been with my organization for cardinal years.I do not think she adds any procreative resources to my organization and is Just taking up. expiry In conclusion, this paper discussed the consumption statement, problem statement, way out background, necessity of study, greatness of consequence to the field of education as ell as the capableness signification of the study to profound literature with regard to my research study en title Employees Perspectives of morals in the Workplace. I mean this field of study is important because if individuals and the world around us continues in its menses state, there will not be an ethics whatsoever when my children pay off up.
