...As I went up to order my food, I was met with a girl named Alyssa, who looked like she was in college, other than her, there are two other people working. A guy who also looked liked he was in college named Todd, and woman probably in her mid 40s or late 40s named Jewel. Throughout my observation, Jewel seems the like the one with the most experience because Alyssa, who took my order asked for help while making my smoothie. But not only was she very helpful to Alyssa while making her smoothie and only said positive thoughts which led me to believe that she was very new. Again, throughout my observation, since it is slow, the employee Todd was told by Jewel to take a 30 minute break, it did not take him long to get off and immediately went outside to a girl who was smoking right behind me outside smoking a cigarette who is the same age....

...Assignment 2: Organizational Structure Janee Hamilton November 16th, 2015 HR Management Foundations Dr. Matthew D. Gonzalez Janee’s Jewels sells a large quantity of merchandise each week via the Internet and as a result, an expansion is impending. Although Customer Service is an extremely important aspect of this company’s growth, it is becoming harder and harder to fill the vacant positions. As the leading HR Manager, I am tasked with solving this crisis so that the company does not have to prolong its expansion any longer. I will then take the time to go through the approaches of job analysis to see which may or may not help me with gaining new Customer Service Representatives. The approaches to job analysis are observation, interviewing, and questionnaire. The positive side to observation is being able to take the time to gain familiarity with the position and know specifically what the job requires. Observing allows the HR Manager an opportunity to look at the position and see which components they value the most based on the needs of the company. Although this is a good process, the fact that it is limited because many positions are incomplete and needing to be filled in the first place, therefore being able to determine the actual job duties and job cycles could become a challenge. Interviewing would be the second approach to take into consideration, it includes meeting with people who are currently in the position and those who supervise over the...

...WHY VISIT TEMPLES ? (Scientific Reason) There are thousands of temples all over India in different size, shape and locations but not all of them are considered to be built the Vedic way. Generally, a temple should be located at a place where earth's magnetic wave path passes through densely. It can be in the outskirts of a town/village or city, or in middle of the dwelling place, or on a hilltop. The essence of visiting a temple is discussed here. Now, these temples are located strategically at a place where the positive energy is abundantly available from the magnetic and electric wave distributions of north/south pole thrust. The main idol is placed in the core center of the temple, known as "*Garbhagriha*" or *Moolasthanam*. In fact, the temple structure is built after the idol has been placed. This *Moolasthanam* is where earth’s magnetic waves are found to be maximum. We know that there are some copper plates, inscribed with Vedic scripts, buried beneath the Main Idol. What are they really? No, they are not God’s / priests’ flash cards when they forget the *shlokas*. The copper plate absorbs earth’s magnetic waves and radiates it to the surroundings. Thus a person regularly visiting a temple and walking clockwise around the Main Idol receives the beamed magnetic waves and his body absorbs it. This is a very slow process and a regular visit will let him absorb more of this positive energy. Scientifically, it is the positive energy that we all require to have a healthy...

Holmes is well aware of his own weaknesses, describing himself as a "high-functioning psychopath." However, he cares nothing for the opinions of others, including his brother Mycroft. Sherlock is skilled at computer hacking and information retrieval, and maintains his own web site. Sherlock is also a skilled hand-to-hand fighter. As the world's only consulting detective, Sherlock's primary skill is his ability to analyze small clues and compile them into a complete profile of a crime scene. Although he doesn't abide by normal human standards of behavior, he's capable of applying his observations to analyze it. While Sherlock may not conceive of the idea of marriage or adultery, he can look at a woman's wedding ring, measure how it's been cleaned inside and outside of the band, and determine that the woman was having multiple affairs. (episode 1 season 1) John Hamish Watson also called, Dr. John Watson, is a 37 old man. He is often complete different from Sherlock in both appearance and personality.

...Teacher Interview and Observation on Lesson Implementation Theresa Flournoy University of Phoenix/Axia College EDU 310 At 1:00 p.m. I entered into Evoline C. West Elementary school on Thursday, July 12 2012 for an interview with Mrs. Yolanda Lawrence. As I entered the classroom, I was greeted by Mrs. Lawrence, the head teacher in this classroom. Mrs. Lawrence has no assistant at this present because of it being in the summer. After I entered into the classroom, the entire class welcomed me with “hello Ms. Flournoy”. It made my day to see all of those smiley faces greeting me. This was a 2nd grade classroom which consisted of 17 students of which 8 were girls and 9 were boys. This interview and observation was a total of 2 hours long. During the observation of Mrs. Lawrence classroom, I noticed how the students flocked under Mrs. Lawrence as she started reading one their favorite books before they did their afternoon lesson. For some reason I got an excitement about doing this interview. My Observation of a Lesson Plan Once the story was over, Mrs. Lawrence had the students to go back to their desk because Math class was getting ready to begin. Mrs. Lawrence reminded the student that they would continue with their study on multiplication as they have been doing for the past two weeks. Mrs. Lawrence listed math objective on the chalk board and manipulative on the back table. When the lesson begins, the students are in a large group and then they moved to...

...From the Writer “Dorian Gray the Escape Artist” is the culmination of my work in my WR100 seminar, Fantasy at the Fin-de-Siècle. The final assignment was to create a research paper based on an interesting problem or paradox I had found in Oscar Wilde’s book, The Picture of Dorian Gray. For me, one of the book’s most fascinating elements was Dorian’s immature behavior; though he grows older, he never seems to “grow up.” At first, I investigated how my idea related to aestheticism and what Dorian’s immaturity showed about aestheticism; however, I could not find a solid way to prove my thesis. My greatest problem was being unsure of how writing a paper based on a research problem in The Picture of Dorian Gray constituted a researchable argument and not just a literary analysis. Hoping to gain a different perspective on the assignment, I met with fellow classmates to talk out my problem. It turned out that they were having the same issue with their essays, and through discussing my paper with them, I realized that my topic was too narrow to be easily supported by sources; the idea of Dorian growing older without growing up was interesting but could not easily be supported with sources outside the novel itself. With this in mind, I modified my thesis, claiming that though Dorian Gray demonstrates aesthetic behavior in The Picture of Dorian Gray, his fascination with artistic things serves less to pursue aestheticism and more to evade his dark past. In this manner, I argued,...

...S.W.O.T ANALYSIS STRENGTHS Ben & Jerry’s has a long history of with many memorable events that has gained them many followers through out the year. One of the most internationally known day that Ben & Jerry’s promotes every year is “Cone Day.” Free cone day was started to celebrate the anniversary of their fist shop opening and to thank their fans for continuing to purchase Ben & Jerry’s ice cream. Another major contributor to Ben & Jerry’s strong brand image is their diverse flavors and creative names that they offer to the consumer. As you’ll find in the company’s Product Mission Ben & Jerry’s has committed itself to make, distribute, and sell the finest quality products with the use of nothing but natural ingredients. The respect that the company has for society has been the main foundation around which Ben & Jerry’s has built its empire on. They donate a minimum of $1.1 million of pretax profits to philanthropic causes yearly. All this has contributed to the acquiring of 36% of the market share since 2008, falling 8% short of their main competitor Haagen- Dazs and their 44% of the market share. WEAKNESSES Even though Ben & Jerry has a large portion of the market share and contributes to society continually the company does not come with out its flaws. Their most obvious weakness was their management as well as their mission statement (which they have amended). Some poor management decisions include such events as reinvesting in huge amounts...

...Growing up Buddhist and passing on Buddhist values Jim Robinson As A TEENAGER, I was given 'Jonathan Livingstone Seagull' to read by a Buddhist nun. This lovingly recorded and photographed story by Richard Bach is about a seagull who flies beyond his wildest dreams. It is a metaphor of the inner spiritual journey with its twists and turns leading towards the ultimate goal of self-realisation. This book has passed through my hands many times as gifts to other young readers. I remember the mild shock of seeing the saffron-clad, shaven-headed English nun who originally gave me the book. I remember the bossy way she began to direct the course of my life, the gift of the book, the blessings she gave me and my brother of a wrist band, the chanting of the Tibetan Buddhist monks she brought with her and her broad smile. The fact that she had several different names-Oogie, Kelongma, Sister Kechog Palmo-fascinated me yet seemed so natural for such an unusual character. She was a friend of the family and that was good enough for me. My own experiences will no doubt be familiar to many who have made contact with Buddhist teachers, decided to follow the Buddhist path and bring up their children as Buddhists. The qualities and values that they may seek to foster are those of striving to follow the teachings of the Buddha in their daily life, but also the compassionate advice and guidance of a Buddhist teacher who may be as much a family friend as respected...

...The Enlightenment The enlightenment period was a period best defined as the reasoning or rationalization of what was already known. No longer were people relating things that happened to them as a work of God, instead, they started to think logically, finding other possible explanations for what had happened. During this time, many revolutions were made in science, philosophy, in society and even politics. These revolutions spread all over Europe, replacing medieval thoughts, and eventually, enlightened thinkers were found all over the world. Enlightened thoughts became popular as a result of philosophers sharing their ideas with one another, allowing the chain of enlightenment to gain a new link with each new thought. Each link can be defined as a social institution for example education, the government system, healthcare and the list continues. Analysing certain countries, in scope, first world countries such as Japan, Australia and the entirety of Western Europe and North America, obvious factors of enlightenment present themselves. Thus the reason why these countries are classified as first world countries. They are considered the world leaders because they are considered the more developed, capitalist, industrial countries in the world. But what about the other countries that don’t fall under the category of First World? Are they not considered to be enlightened? Much of the world’s attention usually lie on the more developed countries of the world. Neglecting the...

...Quotations: "Be still like a mountain and flow like a great river." Lao Tse "Different Chinese philosophers, writing probably in 5-4 centuries B.C., presented some major ideas and a way of life that are nowadays known under the name of Taoism, the way of correspondence between man and the tendency or the course of natural world." Alan Watts, from his book: "Tao: The Watercourse Way." "We believe in the formless and eternal Tao, and we recognize all personified deities as being mere human constructs. We reject hatred, intolerance, and unnecessary violence, and embrace harmony, love and learning, as we are taught by Nature. We place our trust and our lives in the Tao, that we may live in peace and balance with the Universe, both in this mortal life and beyond." Creed of the Western Reform Taoist Congregation 1 History of Taoism: Tao (pronounced "Dow") can be roughly translated into English as path, or the way. It is basically indefinable. It has to be experienced. It "refers to a power which envelops, surrounds and flows through all things, living and non-living. The Tao regulates natural processes and nourishes balance in the Universe. It embodies the harmony of opposites (i.e. there would be no love without hate, no light without dark, no male without female.)" 2 The founder of Taoism is believed by many to be Lao-Tse (604-531 BCE), a contemporary of Confucius. (Alternate spellings: Lao Tze, Lao Tsu, Lao Tzu, Laozi, Laotze, etc.). He was searching for...

...Gustavo Gomez Eng. 101 Murphree 12 February 2016 The life of a House Pet The world has many interesting things to offer either it be an animal or the most interesting man in the world. But something that I have lived with for years made me grow so much interest in a very odd way. Our house pet “Princess” she is a very small dog or what other people might call a toy dog since they are so small and fragile. A house pet might be so simple but have so much to show to someone who doesn’t know very well. I’ve been observing our house pet “Princess” for quite a while now and I can say many habits or attitudes this dog has to show for it self really do make it seem different from other pets. Princess might seem like a very fragile dog that would like to be in ones arm and petted till she falls asleep in your hands but this is not the case. Princess is the type of dog to back away and contain space away from strangers. Her trust only lies on the people she sees on a daily basis and in this occasion it’s mostly everybody in our home. I say mostly since she doesn’t really like to be around children who chase her around and needed less to say we have a couple of those living with us at home. It is very obvious to say that my mother and princess have grown one of the biggest bonds between each other because they seem to always be near each other whenever given the chance. Like many humans that have a daily routine and habits princess seems to have many similar traits to these...

...Jefferson that bad where he would enforce his ideas onto his family then what good would this do in aiding his quest for teeth? The answer… none, there is no purpose for this, just like Anse’s character. Speaking of Anse’s character it’s pretty ignominious. Anse has taken things from his children to get what he wants before, but he does not use his linguistic skills to obtain them, he flat out steals them. After just figuring out that Anse had bought a new team Darl states, “So that’s what you were doing in Cash’s clothes last night.” (190). Showing that in order to buy the team while Cash was unconscious he stole money from him as well as traded something away that was not his in the first place, Jewel’s horse. Anse did not persuade Cash or Jewel in order to obtain these things, he flat out stole them right from underneath their noses. To add insult to injury his excuse for this heinous act that is supposed to redeem him is not some masterful display of words only the statement, “For fifteen years I aint had a tooth in my head.” (191). Truly a brilliant display of well thought and planned out use of his own diction. Speaking of Anse’s diction there is a point towards the end of the novel in which he does try to persuade someone to give him something that he wants, that something being ten dollars from his only daughter Dewey Dell. Here it can be seen that Anse does in fact try and manipulate her to hand over the ten dollars, but in the end, “It’s not mine, I can’t.” (256). Dewey...

...piece of art can have breakthroughs in relevant revolutions where it can interpret the way a certain struggle can be justified. Most of the time, when something like this happens, we immediately realized how we are part of something bigger. Whether it’s because it was God’s intent to unite us or the revolutionary movement of humanity reflecting what Mother Nature has always shown us. The tough love that is needed to better evolve and how everything is connected in various manifestations when it comes to our ecosystems in different societies. Because of this complex environment, is the reason why we are egotistical creatures by always trying to make proof that our culture and where we come from is like no other and par to none. This observation was very evident when I visited the Saint Petersburg College’s art gallery located at the Clearwater, Florida campus. While I was glazing at the many wonderful art pieces our student body created I could foresee how advanced humanity has become as a whole. Then I see this astounding painting reaching for some type of swords that were more like levitating from a pair of hands pointing up and down from left to right and standing with one leg while the other was lifted and reaching across the other leg in a trance posture. As I got closer, I realized I was looking at Franklin Fraze’s ‘Shiva’ painting. The Hindu influenced painting is mesmerizing and reminds you of the powerful influence the Hindu culture inhibits. The painting itself...

...On a fine, late October Sunday, I decided to conduct the observation project at my old local church: St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish that’s located by the football temple of Odessa famously known as Ratliff stadium. To make sure I get a good look of the people, I decided to volunteer as lector for old times sake. This put me at a nice vantage point at the front but side most pews so I was able to see the majority except for the few behind my row. My family usually sits at the last central pew, but I chose my vantage point because it was easier to study people since I could look at their faces. It also worked best because it was almost at the corner so I can slyly just turn my head and not attract too much attention. From my point of view, I...
