...Introduction The newly appointed President Joseph Fowler of Centurion Cable TV Division has signed a contract with Northpark Media for selling the advertising inventory at highly discounted rates. All the Vice Presidents and Sales Director have serious reservations against this decision. This scenario has led to conflict of interest among the stakeholders. But everyone except Bennette has decided to remain silent while Bennette always speaks out what he believes is the right thing to do. He never compromises over ethics and his integrity. Since he is about to retire in 2 years time, what should he do this time? Main Problem Conflict of interest exists within the company. Everyone in the regional sales departments is not convinced with Fowler decisions but they feel threatened to lose their jobs if they raise their voices. Reasons for the Problem - Fowler’s Credibility: Fowler intentions are doubted since he has shares in Northpark. He was also suspected for hiring his brother Steve as his special assistant and giving him broad authorities in areas where he had no experience and expertise. - Fowler’s Competence: Though Fowler led Northpark to impressive growth and profits, however, Reilly considered his friendship with him in college and early days at work in Centurion while hiring him for the presidency position. - Fowler’s Skills: Good Negotiator. Hence, he was able to convince Reilly, Watson, Smith and others for signing the contract with Northpark. - Fowler’s...

...Philips, la multinacional holandesa de la electrónica, ha conseguido superar los números rojos. En el año 1991 obtuvo unos beneficios netos de 1.200 millones de florines (cerca de 70.000 millones de pesetas) frente a los 4.200 millones de florines de pérdidas (235.000 millones de pesetas) registrados en el año 1990. Pese a la mejoría de los resultados, la compañía asegura que llevará adelante sus planes de reestructuración y los recortes de personal. Las ventas de Philips crecieron también el pasado año 57.000 millones de florines contra los casi 56.000 millones de florines obtenidos en 1990. Durante la presentación de estas cifras, Jan Timmer, presidente de la compañía apodado también Huracán Gilbert, afirmó que no se desprendería de grandes partes de la misma o de divisiones completas. Sí reconoció, sin embargo, que los sectores deficitarios requerirán nuevas reestructuraciones y recortes de personal.En su primera aparición ante la prensa nacional e internacional en los últimos 20 meses, Timmer dijo además que Philips está aún lejos del lugar que desea ocupar en la industria. "Nuestro máximo deseo es aparecer entre las mejores firmas mundiales en todo lo que hacemos". Hasta ayer, el mundo financiero holandés se preguntaba al unísono si la multinacional habría sido capaz de obtener en 1991 unos ingresos cercanos a los 2.000 millones de florines (112.000 millones de pesetas). Dicha cifra se considera necesaria para que Philips recupere la flexibilidad financiera perdida...

...LIBERTY UNIVERSITY THE GIFT OF TONGUES DISPLAYED IN THE BOOK OF ACTS A RESEARCH PAPER SUBMITTED TO PROFESSOR DOUGLAS PETERSON IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR BIBL364 LIBERTY UNIVERSITY ONLINE BY SEAN HIGGINS LYNCHBURG, VIRGINIA DECEMBER 5, 2012 TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION 2 PENTECOST 2 THE CONVERSION OF CORNELIUS 5 TONGUES AT EPHESIAN BAPTISM 7 CONCLUSION 9 BIBLIOGRAPHY 10 Introduction The gift of Tongues has been becoming more and more popular over the past 10 years. Christians appear to have differing views on the matter. Some think it is a sign of the HOLY SPIRIT, other think it is a manifestation of demonic forces. There are Bible verses to support both of these opinions, so the issues can become rather confusing. This paper is meant to show exactly everything that the Book of Acts mentions on the subject of tongues. This paper doesn’t refer to any other parts in the Bible regarding tongues. There are three different incidences in the Book of Acts that refers to speaking in tongues. First in Acts 2:4, 6-11 at the day of Pentecost, then in Acts 10:46 at the conversion of Cornelius, and finally in Acts 19:6 at the baptism of the 12 men in Ephesus. I am going to look solely at these events in order to study exactly what the Book of Acts says about tongues. Pentecost The experience of the Spirit on Pentecost is a fulfillment of the prophecy of John the Baptist concerning the one who would...

...American culture relies heavily on media, and that is not as valuable to learning as literature. I completely agree. It stated that an American child from age five to age eighteen has viewed over 20,000 hours of television and electronic media. That is an abundant amount of time spent doing that opposed to spending time doing homework and studying. There needs to be more of a balance in the use of electronic curriculum and traditional curriculum. I know that when I was a child, my family didn’t even have cable, so it was a real treat when I would get to watch a movie, or any television on the non-cable channels. My family pushed the importance of reading books, and figuring out the message in everything I read. Television and media is making us lazy. We rely too much on electronics to do the work for us. Television requires very little brain activity, which is why when we watch it, we tend to zone out, or easily forget what was just said. When watching television we only tap into the emotional side of our brain, and never think logically. Everything we learn from television goes into our short-term memory, but when we use traditional curriculum, we have to think and comprehend everything, which goes into our long-term memory. For me personally, I am a much better learner when I have to read and comprehend something on my own. To summarize, people are becoming more dependent on electronics. If we start to think on our own, without the help of the media, we will become better cognitive...

Today, this artistic media has reached it's culmination point with it's vibrant colours and craftmanship. As such every little adornment on a trucks has a special significance. As we know that our country is divided into different teritories so why not spread a message of a sovereign and united country with the theme pakistan on wheels. Each territory has it's distinct lifestyle. The culture and heritage of each province of Pakistan should be painted with intricate motifs and vibrant colours. Art motifs of such birds, fish and flower which depicts each province should be illustrated. Other than this famous scenic beauties like dyllic, bucolic scenes of streams, mountains or forest should be painted to embody each territory. The metal base of the truck always seem to make the multi-coloured truck transformed into a weak tea. So it could be covered with reflected stickers, scintillating tapes and further highlighted with mirrors and studs. For the finishing touches the intricately patterned crown carved in cedarwood should be placed at the top of the bus. This artistry employs a huge number of skilled labourers thus boosting the economy of the country. This artistic media is no more confined to Pakistan only but has spread it's splendor across borders and has become a tourism symbol of Pakistan.Thus we should make an effort to keep this...

...I survived, and after 24 hours I am not at all ashamed to review my results. Everywhere I go, media surrounds me; at home, school and most definitely at my workplace. I spent a day this past weekend in a state of isolation. It was difficult to ignore all facets of media, and find other activities to substitute them. I felt alone, bored, out of the loop, and tired. My dependence on media is strong, and I felt as if there were a piece of myself missing. To be more specific, the use of media technology is one aspect that ties my family together. We rely on constant communication for safety purposes. My parents, siblings, and I are on opposite schedules, so it is very important to make sure we keep in contact and update one another. What I missed the most was having my iPhone in hand. I really missed listening to a voicemail from my mom telling me to have a great day, or receiving a text message every twenty minutes from my sister, blabbing on about something cute our cat just did. I use media not only for communication with family members, but also as a hobby of mine. One of my favorite past-times is working with media technology to create works of art. I focus a lot of my attention to all different aspects of media communication and apply it with my artistic ability to put together videos. My main ideas develop from the local news stations, movies, and magazines. The media plays a...
