So we closed the toilet seat and flushed the full button and inside was a, well actually it looked like poo to me so we took it out and the floor started to rumble. “What’s happening?” I yelled over the roaring of the ground. “It seems that it’s a trap everybody, move to the door over there,” yield Indie. “Not there, that’s where we came through.” “I knew that.” I said. So we ran to the entrance but it had no door handle and the time is wasting, the walls are closing on us. “Why didn’t I see that it had a sign on it, Push to open the door?” So we pushed the door and it opened but we weren’t alone there was the ‘Cat Woman’ “Sorry for intruding, seems like you have a competition for now on,” Cat Woman smirked and went off like a feather in the air. So we rushed to the next door and that’s when I stepped on the trap. “INDIE, I’m kind of in trouble right now,” “What?” “I can’t move, if I do the pointy arrows will narrow us down, you have to leave me behind,” “I’m not leaving you now, slowly move your foot and I’ll put this massive rock on it. Move your leg slowly.” “Thanks, Indi I owe you one.” So I moved my leg slowly and Indie slipped the rock on the trap. I was free so we were being careful where we stepped. Once we got out we set camp I collected some sticks for the fire and Bugs did, well nothing actually except eating his carrot and he won’t shut up for some reason, his worse than my cousin.

...Research Paper: Slaughter-House Five In the semi autobiographical novel, Slaughterhouse-Five, Kurt Vonnegut uses the character Billy Pilgrim to depict the effects of war, death, and post traumatic stress disorder. Kurt Vonnegut felt the need to create the character of Billy Pilgrim to express his own feelings of trauma because of the difficulty to address them on a personal level. Like Vonnegut, Billy Pilgrim was captured by the Germans, and witnessed the fire bombing in Dresden on February 13, 1945, which is known to be the most detrimental airstrike in military history, killing an estimated 135,000 people. “He was down in the meat locker on the night that Dresden was destroyed. There were sounds like giant footsteps above. Those were sticks of high explosive bombs. The giants walked and walked...A guard would go to the head of the stairs every so often to see what is was like outside, then he would come back down and whisper to the other guards. There was fire-storm out there. Dresden was one big flame. The one flame are everything organic, everything that would burn.” (Vonnegut 177) This quote from the book illustrates how the image of Dresden is instilled in Vonnegut's brain, from when he witnessed it, and how he can't let go of his lingering memories of Dresden. Billy Pilgrim is greatly disturbed by the obliteration he witnessed in Germany. These events signify Vonnegut’s painful past and he comes to terms with his pain through the writing of Slaughter-House Five. Freese...

...You Will Never Sleep With a Woman Who Looks Like That TBD Courtesy of Justin Halpern Facebook Twitter Pinterest Email comment May 15, 2012 Justin Halpern If you discount countless, forgettable chunks of time spent at school, home, and 7-Eleven, I passed most of my waking hours from ages ten through twelve playing baseball and goofing off with friends at the Point Loma Little League fields. Those two adjacent baseball fields were about a mile from my house, and twice a week my team, the San Diego Credit Union Padres, would gather there to practice. "You should just be called the Padres, not all that bullshit about credit unions," my dad said, as he drove me to the field on the opening day of the season when I was eleven years old. "But the credit union pays for us to have a team," I said. "Yeah, well, I pay for you to do everything, and you don't see me making you wear a shirt with my giant goddamned face on it." "That would be a weird shirt," I said. "Please. You wear all kinds of dopey shirts, and — what the fuck am I talking about right here? The shirt's not real, I'm just making a point. You got your gear?" he asked, pulling up to the field. Saturdays were filled with a full lineup of games, all of which the league's players were required to attend, so my parents could drop me off bright and early and then do whatever they wanted all day until my game. The prospect of a morning to himself was very exciting for my dad. "There's a lot of good teams...

...Mary and Max It is 1976, an 8-year-old Mary Daisy Dinkle (Bethany Whitmore) is a lonely little girl living in Mount Waverley, Melbourne, Australia. Her relatively poor family cannot afford to buy her toys or nice clothing, and she is teased by children at her school due to an unfortunate birthmark on her forehead. Her father is distant and her alcoholic, kleptomaniac mother provides no support. The closest thing she has to a friend is the man for whom Mary collects mail, Len Hislop, a World War II veteran who lost his legs as a prisoner of war and has developed agoraphobia. One day, she decides to write a letter to someone living in New York City: by pure chance she chooses Max Jerry Horowitz (Philip Seymour Hoffman) from a telephone directory. Max turns out to be a morbidly obese 44-year-old whose various mental problems (including anxiety attacks and overeating) have left him unable to form close bonds with other people. Max decides to write back to Mary, and the two become friends. Over time, Mary's increasingly sensitive questions about the adult world give Max progressively worse anxiety attacks, and he is ultimately institutionalized. During his time there, Max is diagnosed with depression and Asperger syndrome. Now aware of why he has difficulty relating to other people, Max finds a new lease on life and resumes his correspondence with Mary. The two remain friends for the next two decades, keeping one another updated on various events in their lives. Mary (Toni Colette)...

...------------------------------------------------- Class Notes on The Happiest Refugee Chapter 1 Possibly the most prominent reason why the first chapter of Anh Do’s “The Happiest Refugee” reflects the ideas of an outsider is how war has changed Anh and his families lives. “The year is 1976 and the Vietnam war has just ended”, “When the war ended her two older brothers, high- ranking paratroopers who fought alongside American and Australian soldiers, were put into communist re-education camps” and “My grandfather was in the army, so Grandma was left to look after ten kids on her own in a little hut” explain how the war has torn Anh’s family apart and has deeply effected how his father and mother lived throughout their childhood. When Anh’s Father is forced to almost single-handedly take care of his brothers, it builds and changes his personality and makes him far more responsible. When Anh’s uncles are put into a re-education camp, Anh’s father shows the leadership qualities and courage that he built over his childhood to free them from slavery. Chapter 1. From the start of the chapter, we can see the traits of an outsider, namely being a non-evident sense of belonging. When the communist guards were harassing the young lady; she was an outsider as she was being ostracised and segregated from the rest of the group in a nasty and threatening way. This was evidenced in the text from the quote “ ‘Lift up your trousers’ the guard demands. The girl lifts her black cotton...

...What is marketing? Definition of marketing Many define marketing as the process of buying and selling in a market. Marketing is defined in many ways; marketing is the management process responsible for identifying, anticipating and satisfying consumers’ requirements. The essence of marketing is that a business will make what it can sell rather than sell what it can make. Marketing requires an assessment of human needs and the orientation of all the firm’s resources towards the satisfaction of those needs. Marketing is a social and management process by which individuals and groups obtain what they want through creating, offering and exchanging products of value with others. Marketing is concerned with meeting business objectives by providing customer satisfaction. Marketing is a method used by companies to communicate with the consumer and make them knowledgeable about the various features of their products or services. It is an essential part of attracting the target buyers to a product to a particular product and companies use various innovative or different techniques to stay ahead of their competitors and make their place in the market. Another marketing definition is the commercial functions involved in transferring goods from producer to consumer. We can also define marketing as the activities of a company associated with buying and selling a product or a service. Businesses undertake marketing activities because they gain several benefits. They use marketing in...

... Using personal metaphor, Chubak has done successful picture drawing: ‘‘thirsty soil, he moved up his lips and swallowed the sweat, the stone road, and slap and the sun penetrated into core of your brain, I was lying prostrate on the ground.” (Tangsyr) Another point worth mentioning is that, Chubak’s interest is to narrate his stories in cold, snow and winter which off course a justification for that are using this spacing to serve depicting poverty. In his fictions, space and content are completely aligned and act in one direction. I will refer to Chubak undoubtedly If I want to bring an obvious justification for the theory of unified impact of Edgar Alen poo in Iranian story-writing. For the first time He in his stories expounded some spaces which no one did allow to himself dealing with. When Chubak talks about adversity he puts the audience in the depth of content and this feature is related to the spacing in his fictions. Of course, after Chubak the other writers tried the crude imitation of his way and artificial description of context in a way which is dark and filthy and insisting on monotony for describing nauseating and cynical scenes. Stories that begin with a description of a lavatory and, of course, most of them are done clumsily and only intend to create queasy in the reader, without taking a trace from Chubak’s techniques which are accompanied with such descriptions.

...Journal of Cleaner Production 12 (2004) 1037–1045 www.elsevier.com/locate/jclepro On the industrial ecology potential in Asian Developing Countries Anthony S.F. Chiu a,Ã, Geng Yong b a b Graduate School of Business, De La Salle University, Tatt Avenue, Manila, Philippines Institute for Eco-planning and Development, Dalian University of Technology, Dalian, China Abstract This paper focuses on the current situation in the adaptation and adoption of industrial ecology in Asian Developing Countries (ADCs). The objective of this paper is to consider the possibilities to develop an eco-industrial development (EID) strategy for these developing countries. We review the regional indigenous resources of ADCs and use the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) grouping to classify the preconditions of industrial ecology in ADCs. The authors of this paper argue that unlike the usual way of applying industrial ecology as a technical tool or a practical instrument, ADCs need to adopt industrial ecology as a strategic vision and as a strategic approach to plan the economic, social and ecological development of their national economies. In this way, it can be possible for the ADCs to avoid the same problems that occurred when the developed countries experienced industrialization and rapid economic growth, and move toward more sustainable development. # 2004 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

I did not say difficult. I said diffeient. —A senior Four Seasons manager Executive Summary Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts opened its first French property in 1999. This article presents that opening as a case study to illustrate a perspective on how a company with a strong and highly successful organizational culture might approach a new national culture when that cuhure is both distinct and intense, as is the case in France. Managers can henefit from the case by understanding this approach to organizational and national culture, which the authors believe represents a useful framework for global management. The article begins with a discussion of the linkage between corporate cuifure and competitive advantage for service organizafions. It then describes the corporate support structure and the philosophy that Four Seasons developed over two decades to support its international expansion and to manage the type of challenges its French property posed. Finally, it describes how the firm went about transforming that property into one of its crown jewels. The Linkage Between Service Culture and Competitive Advantage The enduring success of service organizations such as Southwest Airlines, The Walt Disney Company, Wal-Mart, and USAA (among others) is frequently ...
