...people work? A person may work for various reasons. For some work is fun and full of meaning. For others there may be instances where work is viewed as a burden or an end to a means. When there is a lack of satisfaction, work will not be fun, fulfilling or meaningful. As stated by Harper and Leicht (2011), work is never experienced as a neutral activity. However, according to Budd ((2011), work can be viewed as intrinsically rewarding and not just as a source of income. When individuals have the tools to seek and achieve work as a personal fulfillment, we can better understand how people view and experience work as a rich and meaningful activity. There are no people in my immediate circle of friends and co-workers who view work as a meaningful activity. The most common reason people work is to support a lifestyle. A person works in order to provide for themselves as well as their family with the basic essentials (shelter, clothing, and food). According to Harper and Leicht (2011), a question that often gets asked is whether or not the American economy can make jobs available that allow employees to afford a middle-class lifestyle and the consumer components of the American dream. The recent recession that the American economy has faced adds to the doubt. More people are being laid off from jobs and the unemployment rate is steadily high. Those individuals who are fortunate enough to have full-time employment view it as something they have to do whether they enjoy...

...Prior to the release of the latest version Windows 8, this version was released in October 2008, to include its server version Windows Server 2008. There are two types built that offers a 32-bit and 64-bit version. The primary changes focused on performance and a more user friendly environment. Although not a complete rewrite in terms of new operating system version, it basically is an improved version of Windows Vista OS. Seven packages comprise the Windows 7 versions such as: Windows 7 Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium, Professional, Ultimate, and Enterprise. Many new features were added that includes an enhanced task bar that enlarges a preview to full screen view by just hovering over it with the mouse pointer. The Windows Media Center upgrade, essentially allows the user to turn their PC into a digital video recorder, or use the internet TV option within this feature to do the same. Windows Touch is an enhanced upgrade of Windows 7, which supports touch screen monitors by incorporating multi-touch technology that uses two fingers or more for zooming, navigating in or out, or rotating the screen, whereas the Vista version only offered single touch capability on a lateral movement. The aforementioned features and user interfaces are some of the unique and fun improvements offered with the Windows 7 OS, just to name a few. Linux OS/Unix System V, Release 4: The Linux OS represents essentially the original UNIX OS. It is a version of Unix in that it is available free...

...through Apple iOS, you will need iOS 6.0 or later. This game is compatible with iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad, and is 88.3 MB. The current version of this game is at 1.2, so it’s still a relatively new game out on the market. You can get the game in English but it also comes in Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Ko, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Turkish. If you want to play My Talking Angela on Android, then you will need Android version 4.0.3 or later and it takes 65 MB of room. This game is currently on version 1.2.1 and is rated for everyone, although it’s aimed at kids. Whether you are going with iOS or Android, there are quite a few in-app purchases you can make, which can add up to a lot of money if you don’t have access to that restricted from your children. In-App Purchases While on the subject of in-app purchases, it might be a very good idea to disable in-app purchases on this game. There are a lot of subtle persuasions within the game to try and get you to purchase extra items, such as diamonds, and some of this persuasion is directed right at the kids. You can purchase a pile of diamonds for $1.99, a bag of diamonds for $4.99, and it goes up to $99.99 for a trunk of diamonds. So as you can imagine, just one accidental click for a trunk of diamonds can really hurt your wallet. This is one of those games, while fun, is very sneaky at getting you to purchase in-app items, especially since the game is aimed at...

...and here we’re going to review it! What you’ll find is that this app is extremely similar to the iOS version, it having the ability to snap photos, edit them in brief, and send them out to several social networks. This Android version is said to be superior to the iOS version in several ways by its developers. This app got extremely popular on iOS because it allowed (and still allows) you to do three different activities in one app – photography, sharing, and editing of photos. Here on Android you’ve got several of those abilities built in – the HTC One series in-particular has some pretty amazing photo editing, taking, and sharing abilities. INTRODUCTION An important application for the tech-savvy crowd, Instagrams are all about the beauty of capturing moments through man-made lenses and sharing it with your near and dear! As Will Smith says “ Life is not about number of breadths you take, it is about number of moments take your breath away”. Moments like that don’t happen everyday, but can be captured and cherished for the rest of your lives, thanks to the app called Instagram! Instagrams are solely for the Apple person, that is compatible with Iphones, Ipads, Ipod Touch with an iOS version of 3.1.2 or above. Instagram, the popular photo sharing application which gained prominence on iOS – is now available for Android. Complete with a beautiful user interface and a full feature-set, it seems to have been worth the nail...

...After watching the 1974 version of “The Great Gatsby”-by: Jack Clayton, and the 2012 version by: Baz Luhrmann, Obviously i thought the 2012 version was a lot better. Both have good and bad parts in my opinion, but i overall enjoyed the excitement of the 2012 version, the loud people, the intense parties, and the mic of common day ideas to jazz age ideas, it was great to me. Although most think that the 1974 version is more real to the story. Although most people think that the 1974 version is more true to the text, I believe that their thoughts are totally biased, and sorry to say, but garbage. In my opinion, the reason the think that is because Baz Luhrmann was smart, and he tried to mix in current day culture with the jazz age culture...

...Glinton-Meicholas gives a view of heaven through a modern day Bahamian who sees heaven being as much like the United States as possible; whereas, Twain gives a view from the perspective of a captain from San Francisco around the early 1900s. Throughout this essay we will focus primarily on the differences between these two extracts and how they use rhetorical techniques to deliver their underlying critiques. In both the extract of Glinton-Meicholas and Twain, they give accounts of heaven through the use of satire by exposing vices. Satire is a literary device used to utilizes humor to expose moral corruption and human vices. In Twain’s extract, satire is used to make fun of the way people view heaven. Most people see heaven as an “easy street”. A place where everything will be freely given and nothing has to be worked for. Twain makes fun of this by exposing using the choir that everyone looks forwards to hear. It’s humorous because everyone in this extract, when they first get to heaven, decide that they want to be a par of the choir. No one asks when is practice or the song list so that everyone can be harmonious, they just ask for a musical...

...typing on a typewriter. But Microsoft Word has been able to give people an advanced way to liven up a paper or letter. With the newest Microsoft Word version, it actually will do the paper or letter for you while all you have to do is just fill in the blanks. Microsoft Word first was introduced to the computer and technology world in 1990. It was developed by Charles Simonyi and Richard Brodie. They were hired by the original CEO of Microsoft, Bill Gates in 1981. Gates along with his partner Paul Allen, needed to give the world a reason to really dive into the computer world. They felt the only way possible would be if they introduced a way for people to be able to write their letters on a space that could be saved forever without having to make photocopies as well as being able to have assistance with the format of a letter and spelling errors. Hence the first version of Word was introduced in 1983 but it was far from successful and Simonyi and Brodie were sent back to the drawing board. Over the next several years, four more versions were introduced that were no better than the original version. All were about to give up on producing an easy and productive version of Word until the first beta version of Windows was introduced in late 1989. Part of the initial problem in the initial production was the price. The first version of Microsoft Word was being sold for $499. People were still not completely convinced that computers were going to actually be the way of the world in...

...Assignment 2: Diversification Strategies “The Secret of Southwest Airlines’ Success” BUS 508, Contemporary Business Determine how Southwest Airlines’ corporate culture differs from other airlines: From the time Herb Kelleher co-founded Southwest Airlines in 1971 his goal was to establish a company that cared about its employees, who would in turn care about and service the needs of their customers with pride. Southwest has created a fun-loving work environment that rewards and appreciates unique personalities and how they can enhance the customer service experience of their patrons. This is refreshing in today’s market and the main difference between Southwest and other airlines. The mission of Southwest Airlines is to ensure satisfaction of their internal as well as their external customers. The external, of course, being the traveler and the employee is viewed as an internal customer. Externally, Southwest focuses on customer service, delivered with “a sense of warmth, friendliness, individual pride, and company spirit.” Customer service is number one (#1) for this airline. It is displayed in their every movement. The airline’s president, Collen Barrett is quoted as saying, “Southwest likes to think of itself as a customer service organization that happens to fly airplanes.”(Smith, 2004) The airline is dedicated to their customers. When other airlines felt the economy crunch and decided to start charging customers to check bags, Southwest refused to add...

...When I was asked to write this, I was a bit overwhelmed because as I started reflecting on my life. And I was even more overwhelmed when I realized that, in the perspective of a full life. Nevertheless, I’ve adopted a few simple philosophies that have helped me get through life. Trust your instincts: Your instincts are there for a reason. So LISTEN TO YOURSELF!!! Recognize that feeling in your gut when something is off. Or let your instincts lead you to the right decision in an extremely difficult situation. It’s not always easy to trust them, and I’ve always found that, for some reason, the voice in your head called “logic” will try to hush those instincts. Logic will talk you into playing it safe and may rob you of opportunities. If I had listened to myself saying I lacked experience required to tackle the leadership positions. I would have lost the chance to positively impact myself and others, and I’d be a very different person right now. I’m not suggesting you dismiss your brain altogether. Just consider going with your instincts first, then incorporate logic second. “But what if my instincts are wrong?” Well, they will be sometimes, but you must possess the belief in yourself to allow those instincts to shine through and the confidence to act upon them. Which leads me to point #2… Live confidently: We all know someone that lives life with confidence. Can you picture him or her? In the most trying situations they can be calm, cool and collected. And their presence...
