...nutritious fruit, the Georgia peach. The peach was originally grown in China. Now, Georgia is home to a peach so rich in antioxidants and full of vitamins. The first peaches were planted in Georgia during the eighteenth century and the industry has flourished ever since. This home grown fruit happens to be the best in all the country. There is no other like it. Other drupe fruit are taste great, yet none of them live up to the high standards of the Georgia peach. Down in Georgia, where I was born and raised, is where I was first introduced to the infamous Georgia peach. Peaches were grown nearly everywhere in Georgia; in fact, there were a few peach trees in my backyard. If there was not any trees nearby, you could easily buy them in stores or from a vendor on the side of one of the country roads. On hot summer days after my brother and I would play, a peach was always my snack of choice. I would hop off the swing set and jog down the sandy pathway until I came upon the tall, skinny round trunk of the tree. The peaches were a little further up than I could reach; therefore I would stretch on my tip toes and examine branch by branch until I saw the mother load of all peaches. I would feel through the bright luscious leaves until found just the right peach. When I would bite into its firm yet gentle flesh, sweet juices would drip down my face. The country summer breeze mixed with the sugary smell of peach juice created an aroma of pleasure. The peach with its reddish orange color...

...lead to invariable Wars between states. It was evident that there was an unfair line drawn between the wealthy and the poor during the wars. The poor were forced to fight the wars during these times, while the rich accumulated a substantial amount of wealth. Besides domestic oppression, the people of China experienced invasion from foreign countries like Portugal, Great Britain, Russia, France, the United States, and Japan. In the late 1800s, China experienced an uprising, known as the Boxer Rebellion, due to the oppression caused by their foreign invaders. Through literature, excluding the propaganda, one can understand the social desires and thoughts of an entire nation. The “Foolish Old Man Who Removed Mountains” and “the Tale of the Peach Blossom Spring” are two perfect literary examples to examine and analyze the social desires of the Chinese people. The “Foolish Old Man Who Removed Mountains” tells the story of an old man living behind two mountains. The mountains blocked his way to the south causing him to choose a path around the obstruction. Unhappy with the two mountains, the old man decided to level them in order to create a...

...1. Describe the food item, where it came from (check the label or sticker) and use this calculator to determine how far it has travelled to reach your table. http://www.organiclinker.com/food-miles.cfm. 1. List the food item. The food items I have chosen are almonds. Almonds are members of the Rosaceae (rose) family, along with many other tree fruits such as peaches, apples, pears, plums, cherries, and apricots. Within the genus Prunes, almond is most closely related to the peach, and the two crops share the subgenus Amygdales. 2. Where did it come from? Almond and related species are native to the Mediterranean climate region of the Middle East (Pakistan eastward to Syria and Turkey). The almond and its close relative, the peach, probably evolved from the same ancestral species in south-central Asia. 3. How far has it travelled? Assuming the almonds seed is not wild and has traveled from its original country Syria. From Syria to the United States, California to be exact, it would take approximately 8543miles. 2. How does this vast movement of food from one nation to another benefit developing nations? Are there benefits to developed or wealthy nations? The trade for almonds across country to another country is somewhat insane since we grow almonds here in the States locally. In this case, if we were to ship almonds across country, Another country could benefit from this purchase by trading a good that is limited or scarce in their country. This develops benefits for...

...West Consulting Firm 802 W Longleaf Drive Unit 18 Auburn, AL 36832 Mr. Doug Chapman 123 Main Street Mobile, AL 31864 November 5, 2015 Subject: Slime Flux Dear Mr. Chapman, The symptoms you described sound like Slime Flux, commonly referred to as Bacterial Wetwood. This is an important disease in the fact that it typically causes mortality of the tree. This disease is caused by bacteria of a variety of different species entering the tree either through an open wound. Slime Flux often infects Maple, Oak and Elm trees. The bacteria grow under the bark and cause pressure to build by causing the tree to raise its water content allowing the bacteria to seep through any cracks that may be in the bark which will cause discoloration. This...

...Finding No Peach Heaven Jiha Moon's operatic paintings offer abstract journeys at high elevations, where a repertoire of billowing clouds, disorienting mist, blossoming trees, and elegant waterfalls are woven into deep pockets of sumptuous space. Small clusters of ripe peaches punctuate her scenes (in her hands this fruit is positively erotic), and pointing hands or laughing mouths make an occasional appearance. Like roadside markers, these elements give the viewer a reason to pause and get their bearings before continuing to follow the masterful brush strokes that coil and expand with elan. Working on rare handmade Hanji paper from her native Korea not only offers Moon a tremendous surface richness to expand upon (using improvisational techniques from the Surrealist play book), but also provides a traditional terra firma on which to build her utterly contemporary point of view. Her inclusive vision embraces Tang dynasty painting and collectable kitsch, Disney's classic animations and De Kooning's notion of the slipping glimpse. Coursing through most of the Moon's work, are thin lassoes of line, wrapping objects in playful bondage and forming trajectories of time and desire. While visiting the artist's studio in Atlanta this fall, she told me the story of Murungdowon, in which a fisherman follows the blossoming peach flowers along a creek until he finds himself at the entrance to a cave. Going further inside, he comes upon a utopia where there is no war and great happiness...

...2 Risk and Return Peachtree Securities, Inc. (A) Peachtree Securities is a regional brokerage house based in Atlanta. Although the firm is only 20 years old, it has prospered by following a simple goal – providing quality personal brokerage services to small investors. Jake Taylor, the firm’s founder and president, is well-satisfied with Peachtree’s progress. However, he is apprehensive about the future, as more and more of the firm’s customers are buying mutual funds rather than individual stocks and bonds. Thus, even though the number of customers per office has been increasing because of population growth, the number of transactions per customer has been decreasing, and hence sales growth has slackened. Taylor believes this trend will continue, so he has been actively expanding his product line in an effort to increase sales volume. As a first step, Peachtree began offering trust and portfolio management services five years ago. Many of the trust clients are retirees who are interested primarily in current income rather than capital gains. Thus, an average portfolio consists mostly of bonds and high yield stocks. The stock component is heavily weighted with electric utilities, an industry that has traditionally paid high dividends. For example, the average electric company’s dividend yield was about 6.3 percent in 1992, versus an average stock’s yield of 3.1 percent. Until 1993, Peachtree had no in- house security analysts –all stock and bond selections were based on research...

...Paper Mario, known in Japanese as Mario Story (マリオストーリー Mario Sutōrī?) and originally known as Super Mario RPG 2, is a role-playing video game developed by Intelligent Systems and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 64 game console. It was first released in Japan on August 11, 2000, in North America on February 5, 2001, and in Europe and Australia on October 5, 2001. Paper Mario was re-released for Nintendo's Wii Virtual Console in July 2007 as well as Wii U Virtual Console in 2015. Paper Mario is set in the Mushroom Kingdom as the protagonist Mario tries to rescue Princess Peach from Bowser, who has lifted her castle into the sky and has successfully defeated his foe after stealing the Star Rod from Star Haven and making himself invulnerable to any attacks. To save Mushroom Kingdom and get back Peach and the castle and defeat Bowser, Mario must locate seven "Star Spirits" by defeating his minions guarding the star spirits which can negate the effects of the stolen Star Rod, which Bowser uses to render himself invincible. The player controls Mario and a number of partners to solve puzzles in the game's overworld and defeat enemies in a turn-based battle system. The battles are unique in that the player can influence the effectiveness of attacks by performing required controller inputs known as "action commands". Paper Mario is the second Mario role-playing game to be released (following Super Mario RPG) and is the first installment for the Paper Mario series. Paper Mario...

...Dylan Weber Kim Priest English 101 Rhetorical Analysis During the beginning of this article, Tom Bissel has a back and forth comparison of his opinion about the video game Fallout 3, and telling his imaginary children, Kermit and Hussein, what he was doing the day that Barack Obama was elected to be our first African-American President of the United States. He tries to make an argument that even though there was a widely-known national, and even global, event that took place, he felt like playing the open world game of Fallout 3 was just more important. He goes on to say, “And so, my beloved Kermit, my dear little Hussein, at the moment America changed forever, your father was wandering an ICBM-denuded wasteland, nervously monitoring his radiation level, armed only with a baseball bat, a 10mm pistol, and six rounds of ammunition, in search of a vicious gang of mohawked marauders who were 100 percent bad news and totally had to be dealt with. Trust Daddy on this one”. This analogy of two events shows that beating a video game like Fallout 3 was just as important as watching the election of the 44th President of the United States. And while the excruciating detail of the game makes it seem like there was a lot of responsibility on his hands and he makes it sound like an assertion, it wouldn’t matter in the end, because we all know it was just a virtual world, and he missed out on reality. His anecdote was very detailed, however, and I’m sure if there was anyone who was skeptical...

...Dorsey Douglas En1320 Module 2 lab 2.1 Creating an Outline The Gaming Industry and all its Fantastical Amazement Introduction: It was once said that videogames would be just a fade. Something that would last about as much as the next generations fasion sense. Course I say its been said, as if there has been an actual book written. By they I mean my father. I cannot think of a time when videogames were not apart of my life. From my earliest memories I can tell you certain patterns from pong, pacman, etc. It has only been the natural progression of who I am that I would want my career to fall into something dealing with the gaming industry. As I said, once considered a fade, it is now a growing billion dollar industry. Hollywood Films, Symphony, Broadway Shows, have all had a tale from a game inspire their respective form of media. For me however it’s a specific part of the industry that I would love to be apart of. That’s the Story telling. I feel as if todays games are truly immortalized by the stories that they tell. From Mario saving the Princess from bowser, to The World Being over Run by a corrupt Private Military Corp. Gaming is where I want to tell my stories. Conclusion: In conclusion, With my focus on school and now my new Career job, I see only great progress in my journey to become the next great gaming story teller. I don’t see much stopping me from my goals but myself. I want to some day be able to sit at the VGA’s and if...

...Audit Planning Memo To: Peach Blossom Cologne From: Anderson, Olds, and Watershed Date: December 28, 2010 RE: Audit Plan Our audit team, Anderson, Olds, and Watershed, will be auditing the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010. We will begin on January 11, 2011 and end February 5, 2011. The audit will follow a tentative time budget (reference P-1 Time Budget). Our objective is to correctly attest, following AICPA rules, as to whether the company Peach Blossom Cologne has issued financial statements that are fair by GAAP. The team has identified various risk factors involved in this audit engagement. As evidenced by our Internal Control Questionnaire, PBC has failed to prepare an organization chart, which would ensure that the employees are aware of their restricted duties and responsibilities to the company. We have also identified that management does not require personnel who have financial responsibilities to take annual vacations, which increases risks that frauds and/or errors may not be caught in the absence of the employee. Also, output devices such as printers are not located in a secure area and LAN reports are left unlocked. Upon further consideration of internal controls, we have noticed a few weaknesses regarding the handling of mail and separation of duties. All of these internal control deficiencies will be considered in the audit of PBC’s financial statements. Our team’s initial horizontal, vertical and ratio analyses have raised a few...

...PRINCESS Okay, people. I wished upon a star. I guess it does make a difference who I are! Do I have to be some poor nobody wannabe? Do I need some kind of kryptonite like a little pea? Did my prince get turned into a frog and he's now hiding in some creepy bog waiting for me to find him? I don't even know how to swim. What's the use of dreaming anymore. No one is beating down my door. I need to be some kind of damsel in distress to get some attention I guess. Where's my Prince Charming? Is there something about me that's alarming? All I get is Prince Pampered who spends his whole life hampered by being royally stuck up. Or there's Prince Never Grow Up who is way too pretty in his curls. All these boys make me want to hurl. Why can't I find a man sized prince who will sweep me off my feet and take me to far away lands. He will hold me with his strong hands and devote his life to me. Is that what I want? Is that what I dream about? If I don't get it, will I forever pout and cry because I didn't get my way? I just want to feel special. I want to feel like they care. I want them to bravely face any challenge for me. Enter my heart if you dare. Lock me in a tower. Make me your precious flower. I want you to battle your way against dragons to win my love today. Quit playing with your toys and prove your worth to me, boys. I promise I will be the perfect princess for you to please. I will be good to you and I won't be a tease... much. Who am I kidding...
