...I prefer thongs for butt flossing; they're much more fashionable and attractive. I used to love staring at the girls' thongs in high school during class. I noticed that I saw the most thongs in middle school, the next most in high school, and then the least in college. You would probably think that it would be the other way around but alas, only women know why they do what they do. I could probably speak at length about my experiences with looking at girls' thongs while going through each year of school. Every guy reading this knows that it was just too much all at once for us teenage boys to handle. Going through puberty, being horny as fuck, and developing sexual and romantic feelings for girls that used to have cooties was intensely interesting and enjoyable at the time. For the girls to then place their newfound sexuality right there in our faces in school each day by wearing thongs was just incredible. Sadly, the proliferation of thongs did not continue unabated up through college and they went the way of the dinosaur, the bald eagle, and boy bands as far as sightings were concerned. If you really needed a fix, you could always go to the catholic school dances each Friday night where all of the out-of-control 7th grade White girls from my town and the town over would flood the gym with their thongs, lip gloss, and spaghetti straps on. The chaperones never used to check for butt cheek bifurcation or say much about their dress code and wouldn't kick the girls out for acting...

...Between the years of 2005-2010 6,721,3701 people were granted legal permanent residency in the United States, on top of that another 6,706,8931* people were admitted here as temporary workers or trainees. With the U.S. experiencing such a large surge in immigration many are concerned about what type of affects such an influx of immigrants will have on our economy and if should we continue to allow so many foreign born people to settle or work here? In an effort to counter these concerns some will argue that immigration actually benefits our economy and therefore we should treat immigration the same as we do international free trade and not limit it. Nevertheless, research has shown that on average when immigration levels are too high the average wage of workers is lowered. Considering the high current unemployment rate not only does this negatively affect native born Americans but also incoming immigrants, thus immigration levels should be reduced. A study done by Harvard Economist George J. Borjas shows that, “immigration lowers the wage of competing workers: a 10 percent increase in supply reduces wages by 3 to 4 percent.”2 According to Borjas this wage decrease can be primarily explained by applying the basic economic theory of supply and demand. This theory states that if the supply of a product increases and demand does not, then the price for that product must decrease as a result. This principle also holds true for labor market as well, if the amount of people able to...

...Why is it that EA programs are more likely to fail than succeed? Here are eight typical failure modes, followed by recommendations on how to avoid them. 1. Lack Of Sponsorship. Your architects need three tools to do a good job: access, leverage and goodies. [ Change your life or career or both with better decisions. Read 7 Ways To Improve Your Decision Making. ] Access means the ability to interact with the appropriate stakeholders, often at the C-level. Leverage includes the right place in the reporting chain, involvement in governance, ability to influence the technology budget, and authority to stop inappropriate technology implementations. Sometimes even the seemingly small change of a title from technical architect to chief enterprise architect can make a significant difference. Goodies include the ability to give out new technologies for testing, "lend" technology experts to struggling projects, and get access to exclusive information that can be traded for favors. Global CIOs: A Site Just For You Visit InformationWeek's Global CIO -- our online community and information resource for CIOs operating in the global economy. Well-sponsored architects will be able to build trust by consistently delivering meaningful results. Lack of sponsorship will destine even the best architects to fail. 2. Hiring Or Promoting The Wrong Person. The skills that earn someone the EA position don't necessarily make the person a strong EA. Often the most technical people get promoted...

...Introduction This paper explains the strategic marketing planning process illustrating the discussion with examples from the low cost airline, Easyjet. The paper proceeds in five parts. In the next section of the paper, the concept of market segmentation is described and discussed. Next, the concept is located in the overall positioning, segmentation, targeting (PST) organisational strategy. Porters’ Generic Strategy is then outlined, as a supplementary paradigm to market segmentation. The concept of the marketing mix is discussed and applied to the case study company. A brief conclusion closes the paper. Before examining the marketing process, however, it is necessary to provide an overview of the case study company. Easyjet is an airline company that has been operating in the United Kingdom since 1995 (Easyjet, 2014). Like many other low-cost carriers, the company initially modeled itself on the business model of a successful American carrier, Southwestern Airlines (Yip, 2004). That airline had experienced unprecedented success by cultivating and exploiting a low cost operating model – Easyjet sought to implement this model in the European context, launching a flight between London and Amsterdam that was half the cost of the fare at the time offered by national carrier British Airways (Sull, 1999). In the years that followed, Easyjet rapidly expanded its route network to include hubs in some of the major British cities: Glasgow, Manchester and Liverpool, and routes to...

...inability to possess the femininity that Porphyria exudes. Similarly, in The Fall of the House of Usher, Poe’s imagery describing the decadence of the house is perhaps an attempt to symbolise the narrator’s degenerating mental state. Also, the “Haunted Palace” that is occupied by “evil things... (that) assailed the monarch’s high estate” is possibly an allusion to how his mind is being possessed by the malevolent forces that ostensibly surround the house. In The Wasp Factory, Frank’s father also displays an abnormal state of mind, which is demonstrated through his efforts to exert constant authority over his daughter. Mr Cauldhame has ultimately left Frank excluded from society through his decision to conceal his identity and home educate him. More sinisterly, however, Angus, through experimentation, has essentially created a contemporary Frankenstein. Fundamentally, Angus has suppressed Frank’s innate feminine characteristics through experimental hormone therapy and has indoctrinated her with misogynistic views. This enables Mr Cauldhame to...

...Psychology Dear Instructor: This instructors guide was created by the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology (SIOP) in the hopes that more teachers of psychology might introduce Industrial-Organizational (I-O) psychology to their students. Interest in I-O psychology has grown among students, yet relatively few introductory psychology textbooks cover the topic. Therefore, we have designed modules that will complement many of the other topics you might cover in your course. I-O psychology entails the application of psychological concepts to work settings. This guide begins with a short introductory lecture segment providing an overview of I-O psychology that serves as a lead-in to any of the modules listed below in the table of contents. For each module we've included a sample lecture (in PowerPoint), an activity and/or discussion to supplement the lecture material, and background information and key references for the topic area. The PowerPoint overheads also include notes to help with the material (youll need to print out overheads as Note Pages for this information). The goal of each module is to address key themes/goals in I-O psychology: 1) I-O psychologists help employers deal with employees fairly. 2) I-O psychologists help make jobs more interesting and satisfying. 3) I-O psychologists help workers be more productive. We hope that you will discuss I-O psychology with your students. We also hope that weve provided you with the materials you need...

...access had been very easily obtained for him. He also stated that he had no difficulty in scheduling appointments with primary care providers. Also, he had to have a knee surgery and getting that taken care of was not a stress at all. One of the other reasons he rated it so high is that it is free. That is something that is greatly different between Canada and the United States. Also, in comparison to hospitals in the United States, the hospitals in Canada are not as nice. With that in mind, he said it was worth it because it was free. I would give the American healthcare system a six. I feel that it could stand to use some improvement and focus more on preventative than treating the issues as they arise. I feel like the hospitals here are well kept (at least the ones I’ve been in). I also feel like the providers here do their best. Is healthcare private, governmental or a combination?
