...Castle’s Family Restaurant Business Plan DeVry University BUSINESS ASSESSMENT This is to assess the unnecessary travel costs of Mr. Morgan who works for Castle’s Family Restaurants which consist of eight northern California locations with approximately 300 to 340 employees and suggest a HRIS solution. The employees are made up of about 40% full-time and 60% part-time. As operations manager and human resource manager, Jay Morgan finds that he has a hard time maintaining all of the responsibilities that are required of him. He travels to each of the eight locations every week to take care of scheduling, recruiting, hiring and answering questions for the employees as needed along with the everyday operations of each restaurant. In addition, Mr. Morgan is responsible for payroll and is currently using an Excel spreadsheet and a computer application to print the payroll checks. Mr. Morgan is looking to reduce his travel time and expenses, complete his HR and payroll tasks more efficiently and allow him more time as operations manager. IDENTIFIED PROBLEMS I have identified several problem areas that a new HRIS could possibly benefit. Our goal is to eliminate the use of paper employee manuals, maintain potential, former and current employee records, manage schedules, recruiting, hiring, payroll and streamline product ordering and stock inventory records. I believe that the first need is to get a program set up that will manage the human resource and payroll processes. ...

...MEG CABOT Pants on Fire One “Oh my God, what’s she doing here?” my best friend, Sidney van der Hoff, was asking, as I came up to the corner booth to hand out menus. Sidney wasn’t talking about me. She was glaring at someone at another table. But I couldn’t be bothered to look and see who Sidney was talking about, since my boyfriend, Seth, was sitting next to her, smiling up at me…that smile that’s been making girls’ insides melt since about the fifth grade, when we all started noticing Seth’s even white teeth and highly kissable lips. It still freaks me out that out of all the girls in school, I’m the one he picked to kiss with those lips. “Hey, babe,” Seth said to me, blinking his long, sexy eyelashes—the ones that I overheard my mom telling Sidney’s mom over the phone are totally wasted on a guy. He snaked an arm around my waist and gave me a squeeze. “Hi,” I said, a little breathlessly. Not just because of the squeeze, but because I had a twelve-top (Mrs. Hogarth’s ninety-seventh birthday party) that was running me ragged, refilling their iced tea glasses and such, so I was panting a little anyway. “How was the movie?” “Lame,” Sidney answered for everyone. “You didn’t miss anything. Lindsay should stick with red; blond does nothing for her. Seriously, though. What’s Morgan Castle doing here?” Sidney used the menu I’d just given her to point at a table over in Shaniqua’s section. “I mean, she’s got some nerve.” I started to say...

...FOR BLYTHE Acknowledgments My profound thanks to three dear friends with whom I have the great luxury of working: my editor, Jason Kaufman; my agent, Heide Lange; and my counselor, Michael Rudell. In addition, I would like to express my immense gratitude to Doubleday, to my publishers around the world, and, of course, to my readers. This novel could not have been written without the generous assistance of countless individuals who shared their knowledge and expertise. To all of you, I extend my deep appreciation. To live in the world without becoming aware of the meaning of the world is like wandering about in a great library without touching the books. The Secret Teachings of All Ages ———————————— FACT: In 1991, a document was locked in the safe of the director of the CIA. The document is still there today. Its cryptic text includes references to an ancient portal and an unknown location underground. The document also contains the phrase “It’s buried out there somewhere.” All organizations in this novel exist, including the Freemasons, the Invisible College, the Office of Security, the SMSC, and the Institute of Noetic Sciences. All rituals, science, artwork, and monuments in this novel are real. ———————————— Prologue House of the Temple 8:33 P.M. The secret is how to die.
