...Name: Candy Due: 06/05/2013 Dear Albert, My name is Candy. I’m Vietnamese and I was born in the Middle of Vietnam. Most of my family members and my relatives live here. Three years ago, I graduated from National Economics University in the North of Vietnam, one of the biggest and the most famous universities in my country. My major is finance and banking. After that, I moved to the South of Vietnam. It’s the place where I found my first job in my life. I had been a banker for 2.5 years before coming here. I worked in a credit department and my main task was managing the risk of loans. It was an interesting job and I really liked it. I used the knowledge that I studied in university. I didn’t used English for along time, also my job in Vietnam didn’t use English much therefore now my English is not good. I had to finish the job to improve my English and find a better job. That’s why I came to New Zealand. It’s the first time I went abroad. I have just arrived at Auckland for 6 days but I have a deep impression in Auckland and people in here. It’s a beautiful and peaceful city, people are friendly and lovely. I went to some nice places like Mission Bay, One Tree Hill. They are all beautiful and so romantic, they looked like the scenes that I have seen in Korean films. I took many photos and sent them to my family and friends in Vietnam, they said what a beautiful city. People always help me wherever and whenever I need. I love this city and I want to spend most of my free...

First of all, learning a second language make people smarter especially if they start early. Based on studies that I read before, learning a second language make the brainwork better by using the brain to learn something not too easy, they used their studies on children. Second, it is important to speak a second language to succeed in a job. Because a lot of companies, especially in my countries depend on international employees, so you have to have a second language to communicate with other employees easily. Third, learning a second language makes people more awareness to other culture. For me, I start to learn different culture especially American culture when I came here to learn English.

...In 2001, Starbucks introduced wireless Internet service after forming an alliance with Microsoft and MobileStar, which is a wireless broadband Internet service provider, to enable Starbucks’ customers the ability to drink their coffee and eat their food while using their laptops, PDAs and other devices to access the Internet (Henderson, 2001, pg. 66). This Wi-Fi capability also enabled Starbucks’ managers and employees the ability to run the business and their specific locations more efficiently and effectively. As of 2003, Starbucks reported that they already offered wireless Internet service in most of their stores within the United States and plan to offer Wi-Fi in 2,700 locations by the end of 2003 (Hartnett, 2003, pg. 62). Wi-Fi’s Value-Added Benefits Starbucks is seeking the opportunity to, “keep butts in seats for the opportunity to serve up a second cup of Joe.” (Powell, 2003, para. 3.) Attracting customers is one of the primary concerns for any business. Offering wireless Internet connections within their locations enables Starbucks to attract customers in another manner, rather than the direct coffee and snack avenue, while simultaneously keeping their customers in the locations longer than normal. Starbucks not only views the Wi-Fi introduction into their locations as a way to keep their customers coming in, but also as a way to operate their business more efficiently. Starbucks is utilizing the Wi-Fi capabilities to allow their employees, especially store...

...PUAD524- Public Budgeting Fall 2014 Vanessa Weatherington “Amazon asks permission for drone flights” Julian Hattem As Amazon’s customer base grows the company is seeking to launch a faster way to deliver packages, drone flights. Amazon recently asked permission from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to test drones in their regulated airspace to determine the next course of action for their new delivery method “Amazon Prime Air”. Hattem believes this is a sign that the company has every intention to move forward with the new delivery plans as they have also hired lobbyists to spread the word about the initiative. “Amazon Prime Air”, is said to have the ability to deliver packages in 30 minutes or less, a huge difference from the company’s current fastest shipping time of overnight. Customers will see their packages zipping through the air as they make their way to the doorstep. The vast majority, 85 percent, of Amazon’s shipments consists of items weighing 5 pounds or less, making drone deliveries even more desirable. This issue of the commercial use of drones’ impacts federal, state and local budgets in a variety of ways. As stated in the article the FAA is under pressure to move quickly on making these decisions as companies are eager to put their plans to action. The FAA, a federally run agency, will be required to reform and institute new policies surrounding the commercial use of drones. This requires the utilization of federal dollars to fund additional...

...Rhetorical Analysis of “Apple Introduces a Revolutionary” The Onion is a website known for its witty remarks on social issues. In one of it’s more popular videos The Onion makes a jab at consumers, more specifically consumers’ brand obsession. It plays with idea that there are consumers who would be willing to buy anything Apple. These consumers are known as “Macheads.” One of the main arguments is that these “Macheads” will buy anything Apple. This is shown with their mock Apple buyer, “Alex Zalban.” Alex is a tool in highlighting The Onion’s purpose for composing this satire; he touches bases on the four main claims. Alex states in the video “I’ll buy anything Apple and new”(The Onion). This is a key point that is showing consumers’ obsession with the latest and greatest while also tying in the “Machead concept”. He even goes as far to say that he “likes how it says it’s from the Mac Book wheel so people know you have it” (The Onion), taking the sacrcasm a step further by wanting to let people know that you have the latest and greatest. Alex’s mock interview mainly shows consumer gullibility because he states he is willing to buy the newest thing even if it is not the best item. The Onion’s playful argument is effective for tech-savvy viewers showcasing in an elaborated version the obsession of brand names consumers have. Consumers’ have a known problem of brand bias. This bias is why name brands can get away with charging more for something other companies make cheaper...
