...really needs to pay more attention towards is the idea of CSR (Corporate social Responsibility.) We are planning to make the company start changing their ways of production and actually realize the factors which need to be taken under consideration as this is one of the most important ideas in the mind-set of the consumers. * In order to maintain the CSR (Corporate social Responsibility) the company needs to undergo the process of CRM (Cause-Related Marketing.)

Background and History The Karak chain we are talking about is named after the owner, a 85 years old local Emarati man called “Obaid Bin Kusaiba”. The chain was already established in the early 1985 where it originally started with one restaurant located in Al Mamzar area in Dubai. This restaurant has now expanded to over 24 restaurants all over the UAE, many residents of UAE start their day from this restaurant and also end their day at this restaurant as it is the drink which gets them charged for the day and rested for the evening.

...extremes might be individuals who view it as a license to pursue selfish goals.” (Lee-chai & Bargh 57). For the people who survived the Marcos regime, they know certainly that Marcos was one of the latter. From a potent leader, he became obsessed with his position thus resulting to his abuse of power. In doing so, he became the dictator of a time, which a lot of Filipinos consider as one of the darkest years in Philippine history. His rise to power and the dictatorship he established was a product of both personal ambition and historical currents, both international and local. Unfortunately for present and future generations, however, this dark chapter in our history still remains unsettled. Ferdinand Marcos, son of a Filipino politician, Mariano Marcos was a UP Law graduate and was a very intellectually competent person. He once served as his own lawyer in an appeal of a case in which he was convicted guilty. Because of his ability as a lawyer, he impressed the Supreme Court judge and at the same time was granted acquittal. One cannot deny the brilliance that Marcos possesses. And with this brilliance, he was able to climb the political ladder and reach heights only a few were able to get to. We could just wonder how can such a brilliant man (like others before him) succumb to power and become so ignorant. In a book it says, “Power changes people, inducing them to pursue selfish ends” (Lee-chai & Bargh 58). Irrefutably, Marcos pursued his own selfish ends, and it was not pretty...

...Yesterday I watched a really popular documentary. A documentary about Chinese pollution problem has become a viral hit in the country over the weekend racking up over 100 million views in less than 24 hours. “China's Haze: Under the Doom”, a 143 minute presentation by former CCTV reporter Chai Jing lays the blame on a lack of government oversight as a major reason behind the country’s deteriorating air quality problem. Chai Jing said that “There are some things we know that the effects for improving air pollution is very little if we say it. But just because of the person who say it and do a little things, he can make things become more better and our heart can be relaxed. So looking back the war between the human and the smog, the history just create like that thousands and thousands of ordinary people in this world one day will say “No, I am not satisfied. I do not want to wait, I will no longer to abdicate, I will stand up and do a bit of things! What I would do is just at this moment, right now , right here, is just this body.” Thousands of children are being nurtured; the rivers, the sky, the earth should belong to them. We have responsibility to prove to them an energy to illuminate the world, and the world can be clean and beautiful. In the haze serious, we have at least one thing you can do is to protect yourself and your love. The future that I really prefer to see in China will like this: There is no longer PM2.5 in the air, which we breathe every day. The quality...

...Anxiety is a normal reaction to stress and everyday living. It is hardwired into our brain and is our bodies’ normal response to “fight or flight”, which prepares us to act in the event of danger. It also prepares us to act in uncertain situations, trouble, or feeling unprepared. It is normal to feel certain anxiousness when these situations arise. However, when everyday life events cause a person to become increasingly anxious or have panic attacks, which interfere with daily living, a person may have an anxiety disorder (Active Minds, 2015). Anxiety disorders are the most common of all mental illnesses and affect 25 percent of all teens and 30 percent of all teen girls (Elements Behavioral Health). Research indicates that over the last 50-70 years the rates of anxiety among teenagers and young adults in America have been steadily increasing (Bass, 2015). This article has information on the rise in teen anxiety, statistics, and the possible causes for the rise in anxiety. Teens Now and Then It appears in nearly every research article read that teens today are experiencing greater anxiety than the teens of 20, 30, 40 years ago. In fact, rates of anxiety and depression among young adults were far lower even during the Great Depression, during WWII, the Cold War, and the 60’s and 70’s than they are for teens today (Bass, 2015). The results are almost startling and alarming. Some statistics find that five to eight times as many high school and college students meet...

...Content Quality Assessment Related Frameworks for Social Media Kevin Chai, Vidyasagar Potdar, and Tharam Dillon Digital Ecosystems and Business Intelligence Institute, Curtin University of Technology, Perth, Australia kevin.chai@postgrad.curtin.edu.au, {v.potdar,t.dillon}@curtin.edu.au Abstract. The assessment of content quality (CQ) in social media adds a layer of complexity over traditional information quality assessment frameworks. Challenges arise in accurately evaluating the quality of content that has been created by users from different backgrounds, for different domains and consumed by users with different requirements. This paper presents a comprehensive review of 19 existing CQ assessment related frameworks for social media in addition to proposing directions for framework improvements. Keywords: content quality assessment, social media, discussion forums, wikis, weblogs. 1 Introduction Information quality (IQ) has been widely defined in literature by its fitness for use. Existing research in the field of assessing IQ within traditional information systems is relatively mature and has led to the discovery and validation of numerous quality dimensions and metrics [2, 15, 17, 29, 35]. Knight & Burn (2005) have presented a comprehensive review of literature in the realm of assessing IQ frameworks. Common IQ dimensions that were identified from their review are presented in Table 1. The definitions of these dimensions have been included from Wang & Strong (1996)...

...Every country has its own perks, laws, and history that make it unique all on its own. Different things like slavery in America and Venezuela’s current issue on how the students of that country are fed up with the leaders and are taking a stand are just examples of what shapes a country into what it is today. In china there are many issues that shape it into the populous country it is but one in particular really boomed the way of living in china. The one child policy has become, at least in the west, china’s most controversial family planning policy. During the 1970’s under Mao Tse-thung’s ruling, China’s population was increasing toward a grand total of one billion people. When Mao was ruler, Mao believed that of all things in the world, people are most import. With that being said, Mao at this point had advocated and even rewarded those “model mothers” who would give birth to the most number of children (Chai, 188). After Mao had passed, the next leader would establish the on child policy in 1979. Deng Xiaoping back in 1979 put the one child policy into effect. This was done to limit the population growth in China. The policy strictly allows couples in china to only have one child with a few exceptions in some areas. If couples disobey the law and have a second child, they would be susceptible to heavy large fines. In addition to the fines, they can also lose their jobs and create dishonor on their family name. The thought process behind the one child policy was...

By being able to achieve goals, when a person gets to the highest level of their career and being able to make a different in life. Summing up, success is when a person who gets to the next level of their life. Dean Chai [01.18.12 http://www.nasa.gov/centers/goddard/about/people/DChai.html] associate branch head state: “Success is when a person lives a happy and self-fulfilled life. As Buddhist teaching says, in order to reach eternal happiness you have to rid yourself of attachments to objects. The moment you detach, you attain happiness and thereby success. It is important to seek success in things that you try to do yourself rather than constantly hoping for something great to somehow just happen. The key is self motivation”.

...A couple of us would wake up early, work out, and watch the sunrise. It was truly a magical experience. During the day we would spend a few hours learning Swahili and the history, culture and economy of the Tanzanian people. Every other day we would study engineering topics like mass and energy flow through systems, with the end goal of designing a stove for an indigenousness ethnic population known as the Maasai. After the first two weeks we drove fourteen hours to northern Tanzania near Mt. Kilimanjaro. There the studies continued, but we also got to go on Safaris in Ngorongoro Crater. In one day, we saw wild elephants, lions, buffalo, hippopotami and a lot more. One of the locations we stayed at was in a wildlife reserve and multiple times we had elephants cruising through our campground. It was startling, especially at night, but definitely an...
