...Individuals are defined in several different ways such as neat or sloppy, but the word neat or sloppy may have numerous diverse meanings to others. Suzanne Britt, the author of “Neat People vs. Sloppy People,” used a direct tone to favor messy people. She also defined two individuals in today’s society by the way they keep their environments hygienic. Britt mainly focused on explaining how neat people are really sloppy and how sloppy people are really neat in their own ways. She wanted her readers to learn not to be as uptight in their lives and increase time for friends and family. In contrast to Britt, Dave Barry, the author of “Batting Clean-Up and Striking Out,” used a humorous tone in his article to exemplify how men and women have different...

...I have wondered before if I will have the chance to see the real beauty of life that I can’t find here in the busy city. But at last, after almost two hours of travel, I have seen what I am looking for; the clean river, the cold breeze, the leafy trees and the welcoming smiles of the Bago tribe, such an amazing treasures behind the mountains. Maybe it is the treasure in the end of every rainbow I see. For the pot of gold lie in the hearts of the tribe, their culture resides in the hearts and in the soul of the people. Despite of the developing municipality of Suyo, their culture remained; it is not damaged by the changes. They made sure that their culture will not die by letting the children learn in mind and heart their wonderful culture. The smiles in faces of the children showed that they really love what they are learning. It is soothing to the ears to hear their angelic voices; their ethnic dances made me forget the contemporary dances and how they beat their bamboo instruments made me feel the magic of nature. Even if I cannot understand what they are singing, I felt that they sing to show how proud they are to be part of the Bago tribe and to be thankful of all the blessings that God had given them. They gave thanks that day through a ritual, and a pig was butchered that I think is a sign of their respect and belief to the Lord. Every song they have sung reflected how they live their life in the past and now. I am amazed how they used bamboo cylinders as water containers...

...Sean Pack BUS 101 OCA Donatos Pizza 1. We decided to use a total of 3 employees for cooks in the kitchen at Donatos. The number of 3 would not only help us with making orders, but also with the clean duties after the rush hours. In the year or so, HR will extend our cook employees to 4 per shift for better efficiency. 2. As a Pizza/ Fast Food chain, yes we do compete for employees. We feel that the atmosphere, our salaries and benefits, interest our potential employees more than our competition. 3. After a year of being with us, we sit down with the other managers and grade an employee’s performance on a scale of 1-10. The next day we call in the employee, and let him know how he/she did last year, and how he/she can do better in the coming year. 4. First we look internally. If there isn’t an employee that fits the criteria for that particular position, we check our other stores that are close by. If all else fails, then we advertise employment. 5. Yes. Donatos wants every piece of diversity it can muster. We believe that different people bring different ideas that can help this company grow and be more successful. We do not discriminate against any race, background, or family history. Everyone has a fair chance to be a part of the Donatos family. 6. We would sit down with that employee, and try to understand his reasoning, if we can’t come to an agreement; he/she would be moved to either a different dept. of a new store entirely...

...thought triggered me to ask myself, “What would be my ideal summer vacation looks like?” To start my visualization, I would like to spend it in a place afar from the noisy streets of the city. A place where the only sounds I can hear are the chirping of the birds, the waves crashing on the shore and the laughter of my family. In that place, the trees are dancing gracefully and flowers are waving gently with the wind. In the distance, the shore is filled with sand so white, crystal clear water and with porpoises on the sea side. On the top of the hill resides our home, a small bungalow type but filled with so much contentment and joy. Inside of it are simple things to suffice our needs. Upon entering the entrance door, you will see the clean and tidy living room, with a window on the right that offers a beautiful sight of the blue ocean. Beside our home, there stood a tall and old narra tree that gives us shade during the day. Flowers of different kinds and varieties grows around the yard abundantly. Then, I can see the endless sky above with shiny shimmering stars blinking at night and in the water, it seems the unreachable stars are within my grasp. In a distance, I can see the fire keeps burning from the bonfire we have made, and beside it, sitting my loved ones with a happy face. Generally, my summer vacation would be an ideal one, even though I may not have those picturesque sceneries, what matters most will be the tranquility I have when I am with my...

...potential buyers (global market) • Large number of potential competitors. World Coal Institute estimates that recoverable coal reserves are in more than 70 countries and supply will last approximately 155 years (World Coal Institute: 2007). • Large number of current competitors. Each competitor sells a perfect substitute for Wesfarmers coal. • There is no price regulation in the coal industry. According to Earl and Wakeley (2005: 227), these characteristics would make Wesfarmers a price-taking firm which has no control of the price it charges for coal. It has to accept the price determined by market forces. This report will address the challenges facing Wesfarmers from the perspective of growth and diversity and implementation of clean coal technology. The report will also attempt to provide potential solutions. Figure A: Wesfarmers coal interests and overall coal type distribution. Source: Australian Coal...

...Modi himself had cleaned a road in Delhi to initiate the campaign in style. It was started to realize the dream of Mahatma Gandhi of Clean India.

The mission will work with the Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation. These two components will provide individual household toilets, community and public toilets. They will manage the municipal solid waste too. The numbers are gigantic. The mission covers 1 crore households and a few lakhs of toilets. If all young and adult citizens keep their surroundings clean, then the diseases will not spread any more. Our house, our locality and country will look more beautiful. In the matters of cleanliness, waste disposal, waste recycling, and protection of ourselves, we are much behind the western countries. If we maintain India clean in villages, slums and crowded areas, the money spent on diseases, medicines and hospitals will be saved for the benefit of home and for...

...contributions. Our country, India, is a developing country. It needs the contributions of its citizens. But its citizens are least bothered about it and most of them think “What can I do? It’s the duty of the government, isn’t it?” But on contrary only we the people of India can bring about the changes in our country. Today, every citizen of India complains about the corrupt officials and ministers of our government. Ask any child about what he wants to become when he grows up and his answer is teacher, engineer or doctor. But no one says a “Politian”. But why not become a politician? As a result of the common perception about politicians being corrupt, India does not have too many honest, efficient and intelligent students who have contributed in other fields had contributed to the field of politics also, today India would have been a far more developed than it is today. We say that we don’t have proper facilities in India, but we must not forget that half of the population of India doesn’t pay taxes and it is commonly felt that quite a large percentage of the taxes that are collected go into the pockets of corrupt bureaucrats and ministers. Then we complain about the lack of cleanliness in our country. We say that our government is doing nothing to keep our country clean and green! Let me remind you that it is not the government that throws empty wrappers and garbage on the streets; it is we the common people. If we can’t keep our cities clean, we have no right to blame...

...large ecosystem, gradually increasing stress does not result simply in gradually increasing impairment; at some point the whole process collapses - as is now happening in the Ganges. If this continues much longer, the Ganges will become incapable of serving its traditional waste-removal function, or of providing usable water for industries or homes. Already, 40 million workdays and millions of rupees in health services are lost each year due to diseases the river carries. With a collapse of basic freshwater services, those losses could explode. Moreover, among the hundreds of rivers and other fresh water bodies of India and South Asia, the abuse of the Ganges is not an isolated case. Nearly 70 percent of India's available water is polluted. Waterborne diseases like typhoid and cholera are responsible for 80 percent of all health problems and one-third of all deaths in India and the rest of the developing world. Only 7 percent of India's 3,000 cities have any kind of sewage...
