...inspired to enter into this industry by his mother when he was 12 years old. His mother was working as a telephone solicitor for a small carpet cleaning firm. Though most of the companies in carpet cleaning industry were legitimate, the nature of this business attracts many seedy characters of the malpractice. There are no barriers for any entry even no license was required. It was too easy that a 16 year old boy can start this business with his new driver’s license. The boy started his business as “rug sucker”. Minkow started his business named ZZZZ Best Carpet Cleaning Company in Reseda, San Fernando Valley, California. In the beginning stage Minkow ran his home based business out of his parent’s garage. Minkow soon realized that a small carpet cleaning business grew rapidly in next five years, but Minkow realized that it was difficult to earn from this business. To make earning better he had to face the cutthroat competition. The young boy had to face customer complaints, bad checks, and nagging vendors also demanding payment. And within very short time phrase he faced the fact of shortage of working capital. And moreover because of Minkow’s young age and the fact that ZZZZ Best was only marginally profitable business. All the local banks refused to give him loan. So, this teenager was looking for some easy ways of earning. Like check kiting, credit card forgeries, and the staging of thefts to fleece his insurance company. But because of his young age and charm, in this early...

...A small story for all HR people. A jobless man applied for the position of "office boy" at Microsoft. The HR manager interviewed him then watched him cleaning the floor as a test. "You are employed." He said." Give me your e-mail address and I'll send you the application to fill in, as well as date when you may start." The man replied "But I don't have a computer, neither an email." I'm sorry", said the HR manager, "If you don't have an email, that means you do not exist. And who doesn't exist, cannot have the job." The man left with no hope at all. He didn't know what to do, with only $10 in his pocket. He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy a 10Kg tomato crate. He then sold the tomatoes in a door to door round. In less than two hours, he succeeded to double his capital. He repeated the Operation three times, and returned home with $60. The man realized that he can survive by this Way, and started to go everyday earlier, and return late Thus, his money doubled or tripled every day. Shortly, he bought a cart, then a truck, and then he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles. 5 years later, the man is one of the biggest food retailers in US. He started to plan his family's future, and decided to have a life insurance. He called an insurance broker, and chose a protection plan. When the conversation was concluded, the broker asked him his email. The man replied, "I don't have an email". The broker answered curiously, "You don't...

...ordinary house, with his ordinary family. He wears a suit and tie every day, for that is required at a big insurance company, which he works at. (“He often day-dreamed about the life he could have lived, the actor he might have been, the drunken fights he might have been in! ) He is a dreamer, for that is all he can do now. He feels like his life has passed, and he regrets that he did not make the most of his teenage years. Therefore, when his daughter, Penny, comes home with a boy, Andy, he does not judge him at all. Andy is what most people would call a delinquent, black clothes, huge motorcycle, does not believe in exams (“Andy remarked he did not believe in exams anyway” ) However, Ray had taken a liking to him, and he found no malice in the boy (There was no malice in the boy ). He does not want to keep Penny locked up, because of how many exciting experiences she could enjoy, that he did not. Andy is very relaxed, when it comes to his life. He lives for the moment, and he does not care about what might come tomorrow. He makes money by moonlighting to afford his expensive clothes and motorbike. His motorbike is the symbol of his pride, his freedom, with it he can go anywhere and everywhere. This is what makes Ray like Andy so much, his laid-back attitude, and his freedom to do whatever he wants, when he wants. Parenthetically, Andy’s language is very brusque: (“This your Mum and Dad then, Pen?” ). Andy is probably from a working class family like Ray (“his father was a butcher”...

...Loneliness of The Long-distance runner’ a young boy is stuck in a life, which is infected by his tragic family history and a culture that maintains his inability to stop breaking the law. Without any prospects of a brighter future, Smith mentally escapes his life by practicing long-distance running. Through this 1st person narrative we get an insight to the life of a young boy, who is brought up in a British working class home. We only learn his last name ‘Smith’, a typical working class name, which emphasises that he represents a member of the average working class family. Still his family belongs to the lower part of the working class, owing to the fact that Smith’s mother solely supports him and his five siblings. This is most clearly shown by Smith’s flashback, where he describes the way his mother carelessly spends the insurance money, they receive in relation to his father’s death. As Smith experiences the enriching effect the money has on the family, he wants to withhold their ‘wealthy’ lifestyle. When unable to get a job, he turns to law-breaking ways of purchasing money. From the story’s subjective point of view, it clearly shows that Smith’s life has not been easy. This is suggested by his character’s way of keeping distance to anything remotely emotional. When mentioning his father’s death, he preserves a sense of irony. For instance he states, what a pity it is that his father did not benefit from the insurance...

...Relationship Life in the 1940s was a very male-dominant time. The father was the head of the house and his work was passed on to his sons. A solid relationship between a father and his sons was essential to sustaining a strong household. If the relationship began to decline, the whole family collapsed. Death of a Salesman is a play by Arthur Miller in 1949. It tells a story of how the relationship between Willy, the patriarch, and his sons, Biff and Happy, initiates the demise of the Loman family. Biff and Happy adore their father and have nothing but love for him when they are young, but as they get older they realize that Willy did not prepare them for life as adults. Due to not having his father in his life and no examples to base his parenting off of, Willy finds fatherhood to be extremely difficult. When Willy was growing up, he lost his father at a young age. His father left when he was a baby and he “never had a chance to talk to him” and even after all the time that has passed, Willy feels “kind of temporary” about himself (36, Act 1). He turns to his older brother, Ben for advice. Willy repeatedly asks Ben if he is raising his boys the right way (36. Act 1). Willy can be heard asking Ben how he should teach his boys (36. Act 1). Willy’s lack of confidence in parenting ultimately affects how his sons grow up. He knows that he has not raised them to be the best they could be, but he does not want to...

...Good Health We need to find a way to help the insurance rate come down. There is many people doing without health insurance and paying doctor bills out of pocket. This is causing stress on the body and bad health. The price of insurance continues to climb, but we are not seeing any more money in our pockets to compensate for the rise. In my eyes I feel that Obama Care was designed poorly. The Price of Health Insurance has sky rocked in the last few years. I thought Obama Care was created to help absorb some of the price increases for those of us that are not middle class or higher. From my personal experience with health insurance I noticed a GIANT jump in my own insurance prices from six years ago until now. Mind...

...an interest in scientific subjects. In 1847, he received his doctoral degree. Pasteur believed that if germs were the cause of fermentation they could also be the cause of contagious diseases. He began to develop the Germ Theory of Disease, and eventually, developed vaccinations. In 1881, Pasteur successfully developed and introduced to the public his anthrax vaccine. In 1855, He launched one of his most famous developments – a vaccine against rabies. Soon after the vaccines were tested and were successful, the Pasteur Institute was built in Paris to treat victims with rabies and other diseases. Vaccines Vaccines in the United States, Edward Jenner created the world’s first vaccine for smallpox. Edward Jenner, worked in a rural society most of his patients were farmers or worked on farms. In 1796 he created the world’s first vaccine for smallpox. In the 18th century smallpox as one of the most deadliest and persistent human diseases. The main treatment developed by Jan Ingenhaus, involved scratching the vein of a healthy person and pressing a small amount of matter, taken from a smallpox pustule of a person with a mild attack in the wound. The risk of treatment had fatal results. In 1788 a wave of smallpox swept through and during this outbreak Jenner discovered his patients who worked with cattle had much milder diseased called cowpox and never developed smallpox. In 1976 Jenner conducted an experiment on one of his...

...In the Transcultural Study, Becca made numerous assumptions based on the patient’s culture. She assumed that since the patient was an immigrant, the patient must be poor and lack insurance. Another assumption Becca made was that since the patient was Chinese, the patient was non-English speaking and overweight. Lastly, she assumed, based on her previous encounters, that the patient was diabetic and poorly controlled. Assumptions can lead to stereotypes and unfair judgments about individuals. Some of Becca’s assumptions are cultural stereotypes, such as immigrants being poor and lacking insurance and the Chinese being unable to speak English. Even though Becca was well meaning, her stereotypes did not serve her or her patient. Deductive reasoning uses general information to come to a specific conclusion. This is one ingredient of critical thinking skills used by nurses to form nursing judgments and make decisions on plans of care. Becca used deductive reasoning in this situation based on her previous encounter with Chinese diabetic patients. However, Becca’s assumptions and stereotypes were incorrect and thus lead her to a false conclusion. Stereotyping affects the nurse and the patient and results in unequal treatment. Nurses who engage in stereotyping will be unable to see their patient as a unique individual because of the distortion stereotypes create. Stereotypes become barriers to appropriate, individualized nursing care, which leads to poor patient outcomes. Patients...

...In other words, it is the process of determining how to present the arguments using rhetorical techniques. In terms of the Canon, style is the reason why several speeches on the same topic will be different. For example, some political candidates prefer using humorous metaphors in their speeches while some are more serious and plain. h) Delivery: Delivery is the process of presenting the text to the audiences through using gestures, pronunciation, and tone of voice. Proper body languages, postures, and physical movements help the speakers share the messages more efficiently. For example, a president of a school shows energy by speaking in a loud voice and pounding the podium with his fist. i) Memory: Memory is the process of learning and memorizing speeches so speakers can deliver them fluently. Memory consists of memorizing the words, key ideas, quotes, references, and other facts that could be used in impromptu speeches. For example, in an election year, a candidate may give a speech without using a teleprompter or script so he is able to make eye contact with the audiences and more effectively use the...
