...Max Pasamonte Nika Cavat Noir 10/22/13 Clarkson I swear it feels like every night I come to this bar. It smells like shit, and it’s so dark I can’t even see who’s sitting at the booth in the far corner. I can’t tell if this rotting fish smell is coming from the ocean outside the window or from the kitchen in the back. This fucking bartender won’t even acknowledge my existence. All he cares for are these sluts at the bar and his “best friend,” Derek. Derek is supposed to be my best friend, my blood brother. He has no respect for his job, look at him. We are supposed to be on call! I’m in uniform, the patrol car is outside, and somehow during our entrance he has changed into his nightclothes and picked up another two girls. He drags them in to this the fucking bar, sits on my right and has both girls sit on his right. What a selfish fuck? Not that I really need a woman’s company, after all, we’re on call. But how he can be so ignorant to have them sit to his right, stealing both of their attention. Listen to them laughing at his pathetic jokes. He’s an animal. Look at this bartender laughing is ass off, what does he want to suck his dick too? “Clarkson! You look tired!” The bartender shouts above the music. “Perhaps another White Russian.” “A what,” I replied? “A White Russian. That disgusting coffee shit your always drinking.” Confused with what he was referring to, I just ordered a Levitt. Nothing like the way whisky allows my conscience to sink...

...He gets his breakfast and coffee and heads back to his desk to start his day. While working on a new pitch for his boss he gets a phone call. “ Charlie.” says a raspy voice on the other end. “ Who is this?” asks Charlie quizzically. “ That isn’t important,” says the man “ what is important is we have your wife.” “ This fight isn’t with her,” says Charlie “ what you want is with me let her go and take me.” “ We can’t do that Charlie, now I will be contacting you later with some instructions that you must do to keep her alive.” The phone call ends the long drawn out beep that happens when the line is dead rings in Charlie’s ear. He knows what he has to do. He has to get her back safely. Charlie rushes home, he just up and walked out of his job and runs 5 blocks to his apartment in Manhattan. What no one knows about is that Charlie has a dark past, he used to be an assassin for the mob. He used to live in Chicago, he was a “hit man” as they call it. He gave up the life one day when he was sent to take out the Mayor of Chicago. Ever since then he’s...

...what the chemicals are as they have been kept in an unlabelled bottle. I would then follow the acronym DRAB Danger: look around to see if there is any danger around, As the child is sat in a puddle of chemicals there is danger around there fore if the child is able to I would get him to walk away from the puddle into a clear area, however if he is either unable or refusing to move I would have to place obstructions over the chemicals so I could stand on top of them enabling me to get to Tommy. Response: The best way to get a response is to simply talk to Tommy, however as he is crying it will be difficult for him to communicate with me, Although the fact that he is crying can be seen as a good thing as it shows that he’s not unconscious. If tommy were to be unconscious or unresponsive whilst talking would be to pinch his ear to see if he squirms. Airways: As Tommy is conscious I will not need to worry too much about airways, as he is able to talk and cry. I also need to try and figure out whether he is likely to be sick as this could block his airways. The best way to do this is to just try and calm him down, or stop him crying so that he can talk to me, the best way of doing this is to tell him everything will be okay and that he is not in trouble for going in the chemical cupboard as he could be crying because he is scared he is going to be told off. Breathing: Tommy is clearly breathing as he is crying. I would also be worried for chemical burning as most are irritant...

...Essay based on Russell brand interview Russell Edward Brand is an English comedian born on 4th of June 1975. He is also an actor, radio host and author by profession. In an interview with Mr Jeremy Paxman on 24th Oct 2013 regarding voting, revolution, as he launches the guest edit for New Statesman. Russell Brand describes himself as a person with crazy hair, good sense of humour who doesn't have much idea about politics. My essay will fully focus on the certain view of Mr Russell brown with my personal opinion. Mr Jeremy Paxman in that interview asked Russell Brand that who are you to edit a political magazine. He came up with the reply that he was asked by an attractive women to edit an issue on news statesman. His views were very clear about what he thinks about the political party as he choose the subject of revolution because the New Statesman is a political magazine and imagining the overthrow of the current political system is the only way I can be enthused about politics. The points (answers) Mr. Russell brand came up with are as follows: * I have never voted. Like most people I am utterly disenchanted by politics. * I regard politicians as frauds and liars and the current political system as nothing more than a bureaucratic means for furthering the augmentation and advantages of economic elites. * I don’t vote because to me it seems like a tacit act of compliance. * I feel it is a far more potent political act to completely renounce the current paradigm...

...few small requirements and by the time you become Master you will be proficient in every part of the lodges workings. Unfortunately, the new officer often does not realize the amount of work and commitment that it takes to become a lodge officer. Sitting on the sidelines we can easily take for granted the work of the floor officers, especially when a lodge meeting runs smoothly and without error -- the work often looks effortless and may even be incorrectly assumed as being "easy". We must understand that there is much work and time involved in becoming an officer with many hours of work and preparation that goes in to the work we see on the floor. A well oiled lodge officer will not only know all of the ritual words but which direction to turn, and all of the queues he needs to know. Frequently we see new officers join the officer lineup and either drop out very shortly after or fail to make the advancement to the next chair for proficiency reasons. It is often assumed that the lodge officer will advance to the next chair each year, however this is not the case and the next chair must be earned by showing you are proficient in the work required of you. Most lodges have practice sessions once or twice a week with at least one that you are expected to attend weekly for the practice of the ritual work. For most members this often means putting their personal life...

...in the Athens market. Socrates was accused of being a man who makes the worse argument into the stronger argument. A man who knows about the heavens and earth and therefore any one who believe this must not believe in the gods. Socrates was accused of being an atheist. Most of the people that followed him around his quest were inquisitive. Where as most adults would walk by Socrates with his “annoying question” the youth stopped to see what he had to say. The youth became his followers when he went out to ask questions that undermined society. Therefore, Socrates was accused of corrupting the youth. I do not believe that Socrates was guilty. For the fact that he was not responsible for the way, other people used what he said. Socrates is the seeker of self-knowledge. He poses the question, “how can I know about the world if I do not know who I’m”. Then the society says, “know thyself”. These two sayings sound alike but society has something else in mind, know thyself means that you must know your place in society. Socrates wanted people to find out who they were by themselves and not let society tell them who they were. You have to know how you think and act in certain situation to know yourself. Knowing yourself in a sense helps you in fact know the world. Socrates might have believed it takes time to know yourself rather than just saying you know who you are. Therefore, Socrates went out to find an answer to the question “What is X?” Socrates asks the question what is piety...

...Communication, respect and forgiveness three key factors for a unbreakable bond. If you have these three factors down, your marriage should be very successful. Each of these factors play a big role in the marriage, without one of these, your marriage will fail. If you communicate but don’t respect or forgive, then there’s just a friendship, not a commitment. . If you respect but don’t communicate or forgive then your partner might feel dominate then you and expect you to respect him/her. Over time, you will feel like you’re not getting treated as an equal in the marriage. Lastly, if you forgive but don’t communicate or respect, there’s no point having a relationship because your partner knows you’ll forgive no matter what they do and no boundaries will be set because of the lack of communication. Communication is key for a successful marriage because if you don’t talk to each other and say what is on your mind then how will your partner know what to fix about them to make the marriage stronger. You can trust your partner and forgive them, but if you don’t communicate or talk about the issues that are going on, your marriage will continue with the same issues. Don’t be afraid to say what’s on your mind; unexpressed frustrations in a marriage can pile up and weigh you down like an overloaded gunnysack. These accumulated frustrations can quickly turn into resentments. “Holding resentment is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die,” said Sally, married 50 years...

...did not know enough. “What should a 4 year old know?” she asked. Most of the answers left me not only saddened but pretty soundly annoyed. One mom posted a laundry list of all of the things her son knew. Counting to 100, planets, how to write his first and last name, and on and on. Others chimed in with how much more their children already knew, some who were only three. A few posted URL’s to lists of what each age should know. The fewest yet said that each child develops at his own pace and not to worry. It bothered me greatly to see these mothers responding to a worried mom by adding to her concern, with lists of all the things their children could do that hers couldn’t. We are such a competitive culture that even our preschoolers have become trophies and bragging rights. Childhood shouldn’t be a race. So here, I offer my list of what a 4 year old should know. She should know that she is loved wholly and unconditionally, all of the time. He should know that he is safe and he should know how to keep himself safe in public, with others, and in varied situations. He should know that he can trust his instincts about people and that he never has to do something that doesn’t feel right, no matter who is asking. He should know his personal rights and that his family will back them up. She should know how to laugh, act silly, be goofy and use her imagination. She should know that it is always okay to paint the sky orange and give cats 6 legs. He should know his own...

...One day, he’s going to know. He’ll know your birthday, your middle name, where you were born, your star sign, and your parent’s names. He’ll know how old you were when you learnt to ride a bike, how your grandparents passed away, how many pets you had, and how much you hated going to school. He’ll know your eye colour, your scars, your freckles, your laugh lines and your birth marks. He’ll know your favourite book, movie, candy, food, and pair of shoes, colour, and song. He’s going to know why you’re awake at 5 am most nights, where you were when you realized you’d lost a good friend. He’s going to know your phobias, your dreams, your fears, your wishes, and your worries. He’s going to know about your first heartbreak, your dream wedding, and your problems with your parents. He’ll know your strengths, weaknesses, laziness, energy, and your mixed emotions. He’s going to know about your love for mayonnaise, your dream of being famous when you were five, your need to quote any film you know all the way through, and your fear of growing older. He’ll know your bad habits, your mannerisms, your stroppy pout, your facial expressions, and your laugh like it’s his favourite song. The way you chew, drink, walk, sleep, fidget and kiss. He’s going to know that you’ve already picked out wedding flowers, baby names, and tiles for the bathroom, bridesmaid dresses, and the colour of your bedroom walls. He’s going to know, get annoyed at and then accept that you leave clothes everywhere, take...

...relationship with our bosses. This relationship depended on many aspects, and some from very simple things that we may not know. Here are some ways that may help you to get along with your boss, even with the difficult boss. First of all, what you need to do is try to show up for work on time. Being punctual not only help you to give a good impression to your boss, but also to your co-workers. Because it shows them your respect and trustful. For the first impression, your boss and also your co-workers need to know whether they can count on you.

It’s time you showed your boss your abilities as your responsibilities for your jobs. Try your best to complete your works before deadline, and do more than what your boss expected. Just doing what are required will not send you apart from other employees.

...emotion is pent up in our mind our souls and most importantly our hearts so we need to find a way to channel these emotions calmly and peacefully through a listening ear. The Vent, like anyone else who has gone through this was a moment in this man's life where he had all of these emotions, these mental aches and pains, and what he goes through when he can no longer repress these emotions and needs to get something off his chest . The writer uses allusion in some parts of the lyrics, trying to explain the rational mind of a sane person for advice or some type of guidance . For instance in the verse “ask Kurt Cobain why, cause I need to know, he stopped when he had such a long way to go” (KRIT), if the reader is not a Kurt Cobain fan, then this sentence may be rendered mute. What he means by making this allusion is that he wanted to know what went through Kurt's mind during his time of...

...military’s methods of use of information, and how it is distributed is highly critical and simple. Majority of the information is put out the old fashion way, verbally! This method seems very prehistoric compared to now, but it is quite affective, and of course also comes with some disadvantages. Everyday information is verbally issued out starting at the top of the chain of command, and goes all the way down to the lowest ranking individual. This type of informational flow is used for little as details and tasks that need to be completed for the day, to tactical mission planning, and issuing commanding orders. This starts out by a high ranking official verbally giving the information to the next person that is ranked directly under him. The purpose of this is so the person receiving the orders hears it straight from the commander’s mouth. That way there is no misunderstanding about what is being said, and if unclear the issues can be addressed and understood. The importance of clearly understanding the given information can mean life or death on the battlefield. This process continues and branches out all the way to the last person. This method of information flow is extremely secure compared to telecommunication or even email. This makes it difficult to near impossible for enemy personnel to intercept the information. The down side of this method is it can be time consuming, and depending how high up the chain of command it’s coming from, the longer it can take to...

...Hello Richard! All work is to be done in a 12 pt. font. See a few too many quotes. See my comments on APA issues. Thanks! 8/10 Dr. Marilyn Griffin Information Literacy in Managing Start-ups Richard M. Knapp University of Phoenix Online Information Literacy in Managing Start-ups Richard M. Knapp University of Phoenix Online Information Literacy in Managing Start-ups In her article printed in the Journal of Business & Finance Librarianship, Carol Simon reported Peter Drucker as he spoke of information literacy, “to be information literate, you begin with learning what it is you need to know”. To this, one might add, “, “to be information literate, you begin with learning what it is you need to know” now (Simon, 2009, p. 248). Time sensitivity has become increasingly important in this fast-paced, information-based economy. Like any other CEO of a large corporation, leaders of smaller, entrepreneurial ventures must make a myriad of decisions each day based on the information at their disposal. Unlike their counterparts, however, small business leaders often have more limited resources at their disposal. In a business with fewer than 100, 20, or even 10 employees, there is no time or money to create reports with detailed financial analysis of each available alternative. There is no research department and no board of directors, unless of course pillow talk with the wife counts for professional advice. With most small businesses, of necessity, judgment...

...good manager: Personal Characteristics There are items that can help you improve yourself, and enhance your interactions with others. Desirable personal characteristics make a manager someone that others can look up to, and feel comfortable following: Self-Motivation: An effective manager can’t motivate others if he or she can’t self-motivate. Self-motivation, the ability to get yourself going, and take charge of what’s next for you, is a vital personal characteristic for a manager. You have to keep yourself going — and motivate those who work with you. Integrity: People trust a good manager because they know he or she has personal integrity. Workers need to know that you will fight for them, do what you say, and follow the rules. Dependability/Reliability: As a person, you should be dependable and reliable. Your superiors, as well as your subordinates, need to know that you can be counted on. Others in the organization should be able to rely on you. Optimism: Do you look to the future with hope? An optimistic attitude can help build morale in your employees. Your positive attitude can inspire others, and help them...
