...Good Morning fellow classmates I am going to talk about the first man ever to walk on the moon. His name was Neil Armstrong. His quote was “one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” I chose this speech because it stuck out to me not because he recently passed but they it sounded it just spoke to me. I am going to tell you about how he was brave, a true American, and how he is important to me. I think Neil Armstrong was very brave for multiple reasons. First is that he had gone out there without knowing anything. He didn’t know what was there or what could have happened. I mean yeah they had a basic idea of what was out there but still. He had no clue what he was getting himself into no idea at all. And he was the first person to step foot on the moon and plant the flag that would be pretty scary. Not only was he brave in my opinion but he was a true American. To me Neil was a true American for a couple of things. He did this not only for himself but for the world and mostly our country. And to have that flag on the moon is just special and I bet he felt great putting it up because I know I would. This also proved to the person that pretty much nothing was impossible. That they could get up onto that rock in the sky we call the moon that we could do anything. He was a true American, and he was also important to me. Neil Armstrong in my opinion was a great man and he was important to me. He did this huge thing that made history and completely changed the world. He...

...The Apollo Missions The Apollo missions were not just "one small leap for man, one giant leap for mankind", they were a millstone in the history and capabilities of science, and no manned mission since has rivaled their audacity. The Apollo missions successfully saw human being land on the moon and return back to earth. The scientists and Astronauts that worked on the mission had to answer the questions of how to get to the moon, how to get back, how to do it cost effective, and how to do it safely. They were not only motivated by the significance of the first human being ever to walk on a land not on this earth, but also a desire to show the United States scientific power and dominance over the rest of the world and especially Russia,...

...should change. I realize the fact that much of this nation’s history has brought great grief, but I believe that we have learned from our past mistakes. These past mistakes have made this nation into the great nation that it is today. Hope is all I can think about whenever I think about America. Hope for all people, no matter what race, size, language, or nationally. Hope that we grow as a nation, and can all come together to be the great Americans that we are. America has had some of the greatest history. Some you can’t help but smile about. Like the fact that our nation was the first to land on the moon in the Apollo 11 on July 20, 1969. Neil Armstrong stated,” That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,” Not only was this a giant leap for mankind, but it was a giant leap for the USA. This gives me hope that we can do even more than just land on the moon. Maybe one day we can go to mars or far into the galaxy. Our beautiful American flag waves even in the most unexpected places. How about when the slaves were no longer slaves. They were looked at like people, just like they had always been. I don’t know about you, but the thought of everyone being equal puts a smile on my face. Hope and fear are the most important two factors in our lives. At some point in your life no matter who you are you have experienced you have felt both of these emotions. Hope that your problems would work out, and then the little bit of fear that they wouldn’t. Fear is all that was experienced...

...Over the past decade, new technologies have come about having astronomically powerful impact on the economy. The leaps and bounds that the technology industry has taken weren't always for the better. The downsides to all of these victories in man vs. machine have come with their problems and a price. These downfalls are far from over and we can expect a global conflict at the hands of technology in the near future. Technology has been used as a theft device in many respects, from jobs to copyrighted property. With unrestricted sources such as the internet, the ways to slow down this moral massacre are few and far between (Per F. Peterson). Many companies fear technology more than they embrace it. Taking the giant leap into the twenty-first century has frightened some veteran companies to enough to keep them from attempting anything as simple as a corporate website. In 1999, there were over 4,000 lawsuits against technologies. All of these claims were staked on the theory that these new technologies were a threat to the companies' clients and profits (Economic Evaluation). Such technologies included handheld devices for stock market observation or software that stored passwords to important restricted files. Devices such as these were originally designed to simplify the process of purchasing and trading stocks. Like-wise, such programs were developed to quicken access to files that may be time-crucial in monetary factors (U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission). Morality...

...Settlers on Mars Mars the red planet. A distant planet not so far from Earth was the next great step in mankind’s evolution. As the great Neil Armstrong once said “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind”. Being the first settlers on mars for a three year course, my life was now a roller coaster ride. I had the fear of the cart derailing at any moment before the end of the track surging within me. How will our first days go? What problems will we face in the months to come? Will these unforeseen roadblocks be an obstacle in our path? But as they say, not all days are rainy days and thus our story begins. It’s day one here on the dusty cold red planet. After a long and cold three months trip in the sleeping chambers to Mars, we felt relieved to be on solid grounds. The search team is in search for a stable sector for us to occupy and as the leave no stone unturned, we glanced into the horizon and absorbed the strange beauty that lies before us. Walking about the planet, we find that gravity seems to favor us. Giving us a bit of a hassle but also making us feel like super humans in our space suits. We feel strange in this new world, like aliens invading foreign lands. The search team has found a sector, not far from our landing zone and soon we are on the move, moving like the breeze, swift and calmly. Night time approaches and time has seemed to pass us by. The camp site is all set up and securities are on patrol around the parameters. Who knew what dangers lurked...

...Brown December 1, 2014 In an effort to global expansion Nestle’ underwent the second-order change. This change was transformational and fundamentally changes the way the company function. In the 1900’s they filled the need in the world market of Dairy products in the United States to meet the increased demand due to the First World War. In the 1940’s a bold move to relocate executive offices offshore to the United States to improve its efficiency and productivity. In 1974 the acquisition of L’Oreal, a struggling cosmetic giant was the company’s first venture in non-foods. Nestle continued growth with the purchase of Alcon Laboratories Inc a U.S manufacturer of pharmaceutical and ophthalmic products. In 1984 it returns to foods with the purchase of Carnation. For over three quarters of a century Nestle’ has built a diversified global company. Brabeck-Letmathe, CEO of Nestle’ believes that taking incremental approaches to change is better than giant leaps, I agree with that analogy. The Nestle’ is a worldwide brand, strong in quality products and management of people and resources. Now, Brabeck-Letmathe believes that during crisis moving into other markets may be necessary, but the strength of Nestle’ is in its management team and quality. I had dinner last night and ate a Lean Cuisine and on the back of the box to this delicious meal was Nestle’. The changes of Nestle’ would be simultaneously multiple requiring a sequence of smaller changes. In the effort for global expansion...

...The future has many possibilities, positive and negative. There are endless amounts of studies and research being done to help bring forth tomorrow and a legacy we’re proud to leave to our children. One of the major problems we’re facing today is Oxygen consumption. We have no way of producing Oxygen efficiently, other than photosynthesis. Well, a student of the Royal College of Art by the name of Julian Melchiorri, along with help from the Tufts University Silk Lab, has helped us take a giant leap towards a real solution. They have created a synthetic leaf that breathes just like a real one. “The leaf is made up of chloroplasts from plant cells, the part where photosynthesis happens, suspended in a web of silk protein. The protein was extracted from natural silk fibers” (International Business Times, 2014). This means that, with a small amount of energy, water, and light, we can produce fresh Oxygen anywhere without the limitations of agriculture. “My idea was to use the efficiency of nature in a man-made environment” (Hobson, 2014). The first thought that comes to mind when those words were uttered: Deep-Sea and Space Travel. If we are able to produce Oxygen synthetically, then we no longer need Oxygen tanks for submarines or spacecraft. We can traverse all of these new reigns without worry of running out of breathable air. Who knows what we’ll find there? Most likely case, we’ll discover species we’ve never known to exist, and those that were only rumors for generations....

...Executive Summary Kroger & It’s Vision Kroger is a company founded by and pretty much made what it is today by one man Bernard Kroger. It has a great base for people to come in and enjoy their products. Kroger is constantly refining its main strategy used to target people and get the best use out of its products. Kroger is always trying to make leaps above its competition and draw more people into its place of work. It has kept low prices since it started in the early 1900’s. Kroger is one of the few big retail chains out in the market today that still cares more about its customers than being the biggest and baddest company out there. Now with that said I’m not saying that Kroger doesn’t want to make the most money possible but what I am saying is that it still cares about the little guy. Kroger to the average person is the gentle giant. Its ranked 2nd in the nation in terms of stores behind Wal-Mart but in the grocery category its head honcho. It is the number 1 grocery store in America and plans to stay there for as long as possible and with the fact that they keep trying to reinvent themselves and add new stuff and new things to their stores each year it should not be that hard of a goal to accomplish. History of Kroger Kroger throughout the years has been an economic superpower in many different senses. Kroger was founded and made famous by one man with a dream. A dream to create a great Business with values and fundamentals that should...

...Policy Analysis of the Budget Percentage Appropriated to NASA February 5, 2013 Introduction to the Policy Issue. As it stands today, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration is at a crossroads. It seems a lack of direction has plagued the organization in recent years and with the close of the Space Shuttle program this past year, the questions looming have become even more exposed. What next? Recent budget cuts have left NASA funded at its lowest level in four years5, forcing the space agency to juggle priorities (see Figure 4) and think uncharacteristically “inside the box” for answers to this question. Background on the Issue. NASA's budget peaked in the period 1964-1966(see Figure 2), during the height of construction efforts leading up to the first moon landing under the Apollo program. Since then, NASA has undertaken many projects, while its portion of the national budget has been slowly chipped away. There are many ideas, but no definite decisions on what NASA should set to achieve next. Without proper leadership, direction, and funds, NASA and the United States will soon take a back seat in the ‘space race’. Effects of Present Problem and Current Policies. Identifying policy alternatives is important because NASA’s impact can be seen through: * Being a leader in space exploration is still considered as essential to a majority of Americans (see Figure 3); * The dollars spent in each state, boosting economies throughout the entire nation(see...

...Scott Bushard Nolan Belk ENG 111-001 Movie Review 03 October 2013 After Earth “Then it dawned on me, Fear is not real. The only place fear can exist is in our thoughts of the future, it is a product of our imagination, causing us to fear things that do not at present and may not ever exist, that is near insanity. Now do not misunderstand me, Danger is very real, but fear is a choice. We are all telling ourselves a story, and that day, mine changed.” That is a quote from Cypher (Will Smith) talking to his son Kitai (Jaden Smith) after their crash landing on the planet where the ship broke in two, leaving the only working beacon in the tail of the ship some 100 kilometers away from them, on earth 1000 years after they have left it. "After Earth" is a lovely surprise. This film from producer-costar Will Smith and director M. Night Shyamalan, about a father and son marooned on a hostile future earth, is a moral tale disguised as a sci-fi blockbuster. It's no classic, but it's a special movie: spectacular and wise. Says Matt Zoller Sietz from RogerEbert.com If you’re looking for an action adventure, or a pure Sci-Fi you might be disappointed as the storyline isn’t after that. If you notice little backdrop details about the scenes of the movie and love an interesting storyline, that’s where this movie comes through very strong. It isn’t just about a father and son being shipwrecked on a planet, or even about them bonding together even though it does cover that pretty...

...Foreign Market Entry and Diversification Georgia Jefferson Strayer University Abstract This paper will discuss and identify the trends in global beer markets. It will discuss how Modelo’s International expansion was made possible by building strategic partnerships with experienced distributors in local markets. The paper will focus on how Modelo should enter in the foreign market and what is the best strategy. Modelo will face many challenges from his competitors and make the decision whether the company should diversify the business to promote growth. Identify and discuss the trends in the global beer markets. The global beer markets have four main trends and they are consolidation, international expansions, mergers and acquisitions. Consolidation with the beer industry broadens the area of sales and exposes brewers to more opportunities for growth of its company. Expansion of any company can be a positive attribute to overall success for the most obvious reason, revenue. The trend of breweries expansion might be credited to the very expensive initial startup cost of a brewery. In this area of the beer industry having more than one area of cash flow assists with the maintaining the fluctuating price of resources. (Thompson, Strickland III, & Gamble, 2009) International expansion can be a major attribute to a company’s success through seeking proficient production efficiencies. Some beer companies will produce their beer within its country than export...

...The Moon Landing On the day of July 20, 1969 the United States of America accomplished a colossal feat that astonished the world. After years of trial and error the United States of America was able to beat all odds and all other countries in putting a man on the Earth’s moon, two men to be exact. Neil Alden Armstrong, the first man to lay his feet on the moon’s surface and Edwin Eugene “Buzz” Aldrin Jr. who shortly followed became symbols of America’s self-proclaimed superiority. The controversy of this topic lies in many questions. What events took place that led up to the moon landing? Who was involved? How and why did we put a man on the moon and be the first? History itself can give us these answers but there is also one question that seems to still have people talking to this day and that is, did it really even happen or could it possibly be the United States of America’s greatest hoax? The Cold War began approximately in 1945 at the end of World War II. The United States, Great Britain and some other allied counties decided they wanted to contain communism in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (U.S.S.R) and China. Although the United States of America and these communist enemies did not get in any physical battles during this war there was definitely a lot of unspoken threats and the flexing of muscles between the two super powers, the United States of America and the Soviet Union. One of the two biggest contests or “races” between the two countries began when...

...During the 1960’s there was a big rush to send a man to the moon. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration also known as NASA put a mission together named Apollo. The Apollo mission was composed of scientists and engineers to design an aircraft, to be sent into orbit and to collect lunar information. The Apollo team had 17 missions total. Not until the 8th Apollo mission did the goal of lunar orbit become achieved. On July 16, 1969 Apollo 11 was launched into orbit and on July 20, 1969 Apollo 11 landed on the moon. With the mission of Apollo 11 there were hundreds of samples collected from the moon. On that day in 1969 is when Neil Armstrong walked on the moon and said his famous quote “That's one small step for man, one giant leap...
