...Global Business Here at Zip 6 we are continuously looking for new areas throughout the world to increase our global presence. We have been recently approach by a Jordanian soft drink manufacturer that is smaller in size and has no experience in the global market. This manufacturer is said to have ties to the Jordanian Royal family. Although the “ties” have not been defined in the proposal I believe this should be investigated to fully understand the relationship with the royal family. As Ravi is a person of Iranian descent, he feels that it would be a benefit to create jobs and provide financial stability to the economy. In my researches of the Lebanese economy I have found out that they run a free market economy with a strong laissez-faire commercial tradition. I have uncovered some issues that may pose a threat for the global image of the Zip 6 organization. This area suffers from corruption, arbitrary licensing decisions, complex customs procedures, high taxes and tariffs, and finally weak intellectual property rights. Some of these issues that I see with the current state of the economy could be something that is discharged because of the ties with the royal family. As a world leader in soft drink manufacturing, I believe that these economic risks are a potential threat to the Zip 6 organization. One issue that I see as a huge problem is the weak intellectual property rights they have in this country. Who is to say that if Zip 6 chose to manufacture here that...

...A.) The ZIP CODE that I chose is 48038. B.) The Five most common PRIZM Segments for 48038 Clinton Township, MI according to the website are Middleburg managers (upper mid older w/o kids), Mobility Blues (downscale middle age w/o kids), Park Bench Seniors w/o kids), Second City Elite (upscale older w/o kids) and Sunset City Blues (lower mid older mostly w/o kids). C.) The PRIZM Segment that I chose is Mobility Blues. I chose Mobility Blues because it the only one out of the top five that I felt even remotely came close in reference to myself. Mobility Blues describes young singles/single parents. A working class neighborhood racially mixed between the ages of 30 and under. This PRIZM Segment lives a modest lifestyle because of the lower income blue collar jobs. It has been shown that their activities consist of movies, playing basketball and shooting pool. D.) The description matched to the ZIP CODE I chose does and does not fit what I believe I know about the area in my opinion. I agree to a certain extent because the statistic (survey) is correct with the age criteria (30 and under), my area is definitely of working class and racially mixed. However I do believe that we make money than what is noted. From the look of my neighborhood (homes and apartments) and the vehicles that are driven I would say that our life styles are decent, very adequate. As far as activities everyone has their own interest but overall I agree with the activities listed in addition to gymnastics...

...chose the zip code 48092 because its the zip code I’ve had my whole life. The five most common segments are: 39 Domestic Duos – Midscale mature w/o kids 19 Home Sweet Home – Upper mid middle age w/o kids 44 New Beginnings – Downscale middle age family mix 15 Pools and Patios – Upper mid older w/o kids 30 Urban Sprawl – Midscale older w/o kids Domestic Duos – This segment is the older population that lives in this area. Since this group of people is typically 65 or older, it’s a lot of the people that had gone to war when they were in their 20’s. Most just have a high school diploma because they went into the service after graduating high school. Most people in this group are retired homeowners. They worked hard in their earlier years and were able to buy their home and now live easygoing lifestyles being retired. They have lifestyle traits such as watching Hallmark channel and belonging to religious clubs. Their lifestyle traits describe someone who is able to enjoy life and do things they want to do since they have the time. I think the description matches the zip code very well because a lot of my neighbors are older. Most people on my street are in their 60’s or so and spend a lot of their time outside doing their lawn. They have their grandchildren over frequently and spend time outside with them as well. They’re able to provide for themselves and do very...

...not to kill. All four men were faced with a question they answered authentically, and honestly; all four men faced different consequences for their decision. In most cases, the consequences were too much compared to the other choice: to kill. Being authentic in high-death situations is nearly fruitless, and therefore, useless. Take the barber from Tellez’s story for example. He had an opportunity beyond compare, to end the suffering and killing of his fellow pro-revolutionists. Yet he wasted it. The elusive Captain Torres under his razor, unarmed, sitting in the perfect position to simply “cut his throat just so, zip! zip!” (Tellez, 1993, pg. 194). But the barber’s morality got in the way, and he let Captain Torres to go peacefully and with a clean, shaved face. Captain Torres was basically served on a silver platter, and the barber did not take one bite. He chose his own life over the many Captain Torres took. The barber was “secretly” a rebel; he was living on borrowed time anyway. Yet he left someone else to pick up where he failed, “[Captain Torres is] an executioner...

...In the event that I am lost within a remote forest, I would choose what I believe to be the five most important survival tools in order to survive. While it is important to have quality gear that makes survivability a breeze, ten days to survive on my own will not require high-end products such as a tactical watch. In fact, it is not the quality of gear that is important. Simplicity itself is key to survival without relying so much on technology any more than a flashlight. However, that is not to say, for example, a water canister with a purifier would not help; survival is mainly about living, but without relying on too many tools. Although there are numerous survival tools to aid in lasting for long periods of time in the midst of a forest,...

...Identity On August 9th, 2012, I became a mother. I expected changes like more responsibility, no social life, and less sleep. However, I never anticipated how much bringing a new life in the world would reshape my identity. I love being a mom, so for me this new identity was a blessing. Unfortunately, identity changes cannot always come from blessings. Like Pete Hamill in “Zip USA: New York City, NY; After the Fall,” James McBride in “Hip-Hop Planet,” Brent Staples in “Black Men and Public Space,” and myself, life experiences have made us rethink who we are. A person’s identity often can be shaped by major life experiences. First, in the article “After the Fall,” Hamill’s identity was changed because of the attack on the twin towers in New York City. After witnessing the fall of Tower two, he celebrated to even be alive. According to Hamill, “We all learned, that terrible morning, that we could die while reaching for a piece of toast at breakfast” (7). After the attack, Hamill’s perspective on life changed. He no longer took his life for granted the way he had before. Secondly, in the article “Hip-Hop Planet,” McBride’s identity was changed once he chose to accept Hip-Hop music. After research, he realized Hip-Hop is all over the world and constantly changing. According to McBride, “That is why after twenty-six years, I have come to embrace this music I tried so hard to ignore”(16). He changed his opinion about Hip-Hop music so he could keep a relationship...

...Windshield Survey Summary and Reflection Windshield surveys are conducted to observe different aspects of a community. The information obtained from driving through the community allows the observer to gain a better understanding of the community including culture, housing, and signs of decay just to name a few. This paper focuses on the family I selected, the overall impression of the family’s community and environment, and my observations about cultural diversity and vulnerable populations within this community. Three aspects of the community that affect residents’ health and one Healthy People 2020 Leading Health Indicator that is relevant to the community are also explored. Community Community is defined as “a group of people, often living in a defined geographical area, who may share a common culture, values and norms, and are arranged in a social structure according to relationships which the community has developed over a period of time” (Stanhope & Lancaster, 2012, p. 397). Community health focuses on a specific geographical area instead of concentrating on people with similar values and qualities. Community health nurses provide care that promotes the health and well-being of the community they serve. This fact encompasses the idea of community as a client. Oftentimes health related issues of individuals are similar to others in the community. By working with individuals, families and groups within a community, the nurse is providing care that will ultimately benefit...

...I was abruptly awoken by the stiff sheets. The bed was like a bare, concrete floor. My bones ached from the harsh chill that enveloped my body. I expected the same intense heat I had experienced in the past months. I folded my knees towards my chest and slowly wrapped my weak arms around them. No matter how strenuously I tried, the numbing sensation prolonged. The useless blankets were thin layers of ice covering my body. Each and every hair across my body was standing on edge, goose bumps protruded from my arms and legs. My mother beckoned me to rise out of the bed. I unwillingly threw my leg over the side of the bed in an attempt to get up. My body weighed more than an anchor, pulling me down with every step I took. It pulled me down when I walked less than two feet. It pulled me down, all the way to the ground. The anchor had remained that morning, in the same way that it had existed every single day that summer....

...Lori Fowler Community Environmental Issue University of Phoenix January 18, 2015 There is a lot of Environmental issues that surround us daily. After going to the website and put in your zip code nothing in my area would come up. I tried to go to the nearest bigger city and there would be no information that pulled up either, so I decided to write on an Environmental issue that is close to home. Living in west Texas in a small town makes for no reports for our area. I chose to do my report on the water issue that we are facing on a daily basis. The whole state of Texas is under an extreme drought. West Texas has extreme heat and the water in this area is always an issue. There is a severe drought in all areas of Texas. The drought and lack of water is a big environmental issue. With the lack of rain then that means that our water source is slowly dwindling down. There has to rain to fill up lakes, rivers or reservoirs. There was a time this year that our town was down to only 24 months of water supply. When this happens then the people of that town are under water restrictions and you had to abide by those restrictions or you would be fined. I do not see how anyone that knew what the town was facing would not abide by the restrictions that were put in place. Citizens were restricted from watering their yards. People were asked to conserve water where they could. In Texas municipal demand for water is greater than any other uses combined. Most counties in the state...

...Painting were mostly focused on the color and shape to create more peaceful and spiritual paintings which was a more mythic type of art. Paul Jackson Pollock also known by only Jackson Pollock was considered an action painter. I chose Pollock because he was a major figure in the movement of Abstract Expressionism and the New York School among other colleagues. He wanted his painting to be portrayed for what they were and eventually started numbering his art pieces rather than naming them. Willem De Kooning was also known to influence the New York School and was considered an action painter. I chose him mainly because his wife also became influenced by the arts and became an action painter herself. He was presented with the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Lyndon Johnson. Mark Rothko was considered a Color Field Painter. I chose Rothko for this type of abstract expressionism since he was one of the artist in New York that was instructed by Arshile Gorky. Rothko was label as an abstract expressionism although he himself denied the label. Barnett Newman was also known as a Color Field Paintor. I chose him for his paintings that were characterised by areas of color separated by thin vertical lines win which he called "zips". The art define the spatial structure of the painting, and at the same time separating...

...on many devices such as a Smartphone, MP3 player or tablet computers. A mobile app may be a mobile Web site bookmarking utility, a mobile-based instant messaging client, or many other applications. I recently upgraded my Smartphone from a Blackberry device, to a phone with the Android operating System, a Motorola Droid Maxx. I was stunned to find so many applications that I could download and use for free. Since I upgraded my Smartphone to the Motorola Droid Maxx at the height of gas prices barreling out of control, I wanted to find an application that could assist my family and me, in finding the cheapest gas station around my current home since I primarily fuel at gas stations near there. In the past, I used to drive to different gas stations in the neighborhood to check the prices of each station until I found the one with the cheapest prices. At times I ended up driving back to the previous station to get the lowest prices. The gas stations are only a few short blocks or up to ½ a mile away from one another so it was not a big burden to drive back and forth. The first thing I did was research apps and find an app that could easily do the work of finding the cheapest stations for me. I found an app named “GasBuddy.Com”. I downloaded the app and quickly found out I was behind in technology! The app is set up to provide the user with the cheapest gas stations, whatever area the user is in, FOR FREE! It works for all the states within the United States as well as Canada...

...Favian Ramirez I remember when I had it all, when i could wake up with no worries. It had to change when I did the actions that had consequences that could change any man. All I could do now is keep my head up and keep my loyalty to myself. I tell myself that everything will be okay but the truth is that my soul is a glass house, that the Devil laughed and shattered. People look at me, as I look back with no emotion, and they wonder what was my story. So the story goes, I was 12 years old chilling and smoking weed before I went and chose my fate. I hit the streets of Stockton with only one homie beside me. I had something to prove, so it wasn't time to take me lightly. It was cold, about two in the morning on what I thought was a friday night. It wasn't very long until I saw some scraps in sight, there was one standing outside and one in the liquor store. We had to do it fast before they noticed; we pulled up on them, jumped out the car and set it off. We heard the clerk in the background calling the cops; but we still continued beating on them until we saw blood was being spilt, and at that very moment I knew this was for reals. I wasn't really tripping or felt no kind of remorse. When I fled from the scene, I was laughing as I saw them bleeding on the floor. I knew it wasn't right but i couldn't help the way I feel because I knew it was kill or be killed. Now on this day, I wake up thanking God that I’m living another day and ask for forgiveness for the sins I might have to...
