...Mottos In the dictionary a motto is defined as a brief statement used to express a principle, goal, or idea. People use mottos as a way to get through life when they are forced to make tough decisions. The motto I live by is a Harry Potter quote it says “It does not do to dwell on the past and forget to live.” To me this means that once something happens it`s best to deal with the situation, and then get over it. Dwelling on the situation only creates a false sense of hope, and it will continue to mess with your li To me this motto is important because I have a tendency to get hung up on something once it happens, and I can’t let it go. I let it consume my entire life. This has happened to me several times. When I was a little girl I adored my grandmother. I spent at least one day a week with from the time I was six months old up until I went to kindergarten. One day she made a comment about my mother that didn’t particularly sit right with me. She had just meant it as a joke, but I didn't quite understand it and took it to heart. I didn’t say anything to her because I didn’t want her to know that she had upset me. I let it get to me so much that I stopped talking to my grandma, and didn’t speak to her or go to visit her for around 2 years. I just couldn`t get over the fact that my grandma had said so rude and hateful about her daughter-in-law. Choosing to cut her out of my life for that time has put a strain on our relationship. It has gotten better, but it will never return...

...A slogan is a memorable motto or phrase used in a political, commercial, religious, and other context as a repetitive expression of an idea or purpose. The word slogan is derived from slogorn which was an Anglicisation of the Scottish Gaelic sluagh-ghairm tanmay (sluagh "army", "host" + gairm "cry").[1] Slogans vary from the written and the visual to the chanted and the vulgar. Their simple verbal nature usually leaves little room for detail, and a chanted slogan may serve more as social expression of unified purpose, than as communication to an intended audience. Marketing slogans are often called taglines in the United States or straplines in the U.K. Europeans use the terms baselines, signatures, claims or pay-offs.[2] "Sloganeering" is a mostly derogatory term for activity which degrades discourse to the level of slogans. Advertising slogans are short, often memorable phrases used in advertising campaigns. They are claimed to be the most effective means of drawing attention to one or more aspects of a product. Its purpose is to emphasize a phrase that the company wishes to be remembered by, particularly for marketing a specific corporate image or connection to a product or consumer base.[1] Some slogans are created just for specific campaigns for a limited time; some are intended as corporate slogans, to be used for an extended period; some slogans start out as the former, and find themselves converted to the latter because they take hold with the public, and some are...

...Chance Dalton Haley Davis English 101 2 December 2013 Nike: Rhetorical Analysis of Commercial Slogans A long run on a rainy day, lifting an extra fifty pounds, spending the extra hour at the batting cages; whatever lights that fire in all of us motivates us to get up and work can be triggered by the phrase “Just Do It.” “There Is No Finish Line” keeps you motivated for even better success. Just because you do it doesn’t mean you have to stop once you meet your goals. These phrases can also be recognized as campaign slogans for the Nike Company. These campaign slogans have proven to be effective at selling the product and picking up strong support along the way. Nike products are seen everywhere whether it be the actual product or an advertisement which means Nike is doing something right. Nike as a company is able to hold a strong ethos and a popular warrant in advertising their products. The Nike slogans appeal to a wide audience variety, and Nike’s appeal to one’s emotions through pathos may be the strongest aspect. The Nike Company has proven themselves well over the years with supporters such as Michael Jordan, LeBron James, and Kobe Bryant. All three of those names are applied to highly paid NBA basketball stars that everyone has at least heard of. Having supporters such as famous athletes gives Nike a strong ethos in their campaign because if the highest paid athletes are using Nike products, then the logical thinking is that Nike must be the best. For example,...

...Title: SOLAR ENERGY: “SUNLIGHT into USEFUL ELECTRICITY” >Introduction< In today's climate of growing energy needs and increasing environmental concern, alternatives to the use of non-renewable and polluting fossil fuels have to be investigated. One such alternative is solar energy. Solar energy is quite simply the energy produced directly by the sun and collected elsewhere, normally the Earth. The sun creates its energy through a thermonuclear process that converts about 650,000,000 tons of hydrogen to helium every second. The process creates heat and electromagnetic radiation. The heat remains in the sun and is instrumental in maintaining the thermonuclear reaction. The electromagnetic radiation (including visible light, infra-red light, and ultra-violet radiation) streams out into space in all directions. Only a very small fraction of the total radiation produced reaches the Earth. The radiation that does reach the Earth is the indirect source of nearly every type of energy used today. The exceptions are geothermal energy, and nuclear fission and fusion. Even fossil fuels owe their origins to the sun; they were once living plants and animals whose life was dependent upon the sun. The sun is an inexhaustible source of energy. Solar energy is radiant energy from the sun caused by nuclear fusion in the sun’s core. The sun’s radiant energy reaches the earth in rays of sunlight. Solar energy in the form of heat and light sustains life on earth. Solar energy can...

...Iesha Fox July 19th, 2012 MGMT 250 Discussion Board 1 Prof. John Hargiss Entrepreneurship Discussion Question 1 Over the past few years, our economy has gotten worse and worse, but I would still take the risk of opening up my own business. To me, now would be the perfect time to open up. I think this because no matter how bad the economy is, that won’t stop anyone from going out and purchasing anything from stores. Although there are pros and cons to starting your own business right now, I would still go for it. I believe before anyone opens up their own business, you have to know what you are getting into. You have to have a lot of knowledge and have to be very committed to what you are about. I think before starting your own, you need to at least work in a business for maybe two or three years. That way you know what goes on inside the business. Try to talk to someone that owns a business so that you can get some key pointers what will help along the way. Another important thing to consider before you get started is money. You have to have money to make money. I know it takes a lot of money to get started, so you have to think are you really prepared to start your own business. Most people try to get loans from banks. But to do this, you need a credit score of “700”. You need to be able to manage your money, if you don’t know how the business won’t last long because you’ll soon go bankrupt because you aren’t keeping up.

...Capacity Management at Littlefield Labs I. Introduction There are 3 stations in the game called sample preparing, testing, and centrifuging, while there are 4 steps to process the jobs. Before the game started, we tried to familiarize with the process of the laboratories and calculating the costs (both fixed and variable costs) based on the information on the sheet given. We did not intend to buy any machines too early, as we wanted to see the demand fluctuation and the trend first. Thus, at the beginning, we did not take any action till Day 62. II. Summary of actions | Actions | Reasons | What should have been done | 62 | Buy Machine 1 | The revenue dropped and the utilizations of Machine 1 were constantly 1 or near 1 on the previous 5 days. | We should have bought both Machine 1 and 3 based on our calculation on the utilization rate (looking at the past 50 days data) during the first 7 days. Thus should have bought earlier, probably around day 52 when utilization rate hit 1. | 66 | Buy Machine 3 | Both Machine 1 and 3 reached the bottleneck rate as the utilizations at day 62 to day 66 were around 1. Moreover, we also saw that the demand spiked up. | Should have bought earlier, probably around day 55 when the utilization hits 1 and the queue spiked up to 5 | 98 | Buy Machine 1 | The utilization of Machine 1 on day 88 to day 90 was around 1. | Should have bought it earlier, perhaps around day 90 | 133 | Buy Machine 3 | We bought Machine 3 in view of the decrease...

...prior planning could easily mean the difference between life and death. One of the most inglorious types of “possible” disasters is the almost mythical Zombie Apocalypse. While there are a number of different origin stories and premises that herald the end of the human race one thing is absolutely clear. In the event of a zombie pandemic the only sure thing is multitudes of deaths, confusion, and probable anarchy. Even though the popular zombie archetypes probably fictional creatures and some say due to that fact it’s unnecessary to prepare for them, I would offer the idea that it would be better to be prepared for a possible fictional zombie apocalypse rather than ignore potential danger to ourselves and loved ones. As the Boy Scout motto goes, “Always be prepared.” Considering the fact that there are a number of diseases and man-made substances which closely resembles the results of the zombie pandemic on the human body I would say that it’s quite possible that there is potential for the eventual tragedy. For example there’s the situation that took place recently in Florida involving a man behaving erratically, running around naked under the haze of delusions and anxiety leading him to attack and eat another man’s face. This event was attributed to the use of a synthetic drug one of which is increasingly used around the United States. Other users of this “Bath Salts” drug have been found to steal cars, attack priests, as well as stay conscious through several stun-gun-blasts...

...Case Study 1 – Possibility Restaurant Executive Summary Angela and Zooey decided to open the first ever French restaurant in Draperton called “The Posibility”. They could not offer a full menu at the beginning because they had no idea which tastes their clientele would gravitate toward when it came to French cuisine. They decided to settle for two main dishes; fish and beef. Their second dilemma was to figure out the number of meals to prepare each night. This would help them to efficiently plan for the purchase of ingredients and scheduling of labor. The latter problem requires some analysis in order to find out an ideal combination of the number of fish and beef dishes to be prepared which would yield the most profit, taking into account their limited resources and limiting environmental factors. Solution As mentioned in the previous paragraph, chef Pierre will only prepare fish and beef dishes which will be complemented by various desserts, salads, soups and vegetables. This will help them tailor their menu to the clientele’s preferences. For the second dilemma, I would suggest computing the expectations and limiting factors provided so as to achieve the best possible combination that will fully utilize available resources and yield the most profit. We know that fish and beef yield profits of $12 and $16 respectively. A maximum of 60 meals can be prepared each day, of which 60% are projected to be fish due to clientele’s healthy lifestyles, and beef sales will be at...
