...Caitlin Read Ms. Gadziala Theology 3 12 December 2013 Is Jesus the Reason for the Season? In my house, Jesus is definitely part of the reason for the season but I do not think that is the only reason for the holiday spirit entering our home. Though my family does celebrate the birth of Jesus as part of the festivities, we also take the time to appreciate and spend time with family. However, the entire christmas day was supposed to be spend celebrating God and the birth of his Son, and I do not think that is what takes space in our minds amongst the opening of presents and the abundance of food. Though my family does go to church that morning to celebrate Jesus, once church is over, the purpose of the day starts to leave our memory. On christmas there are gifts to be given and received, as well as stomachs that are painfully full and the wine that is passed around the adult table becomes the focus of the time. This creates a more commercial holiday, rather than a religious one centered around Jesus. In society I believe that Christmas has become all about the presents: whether it be the expectation of getting them or the stress of trying to find the perfectly impressive present for a loved one. Even the Christmas tree no longer has meaning, they are commercially grown to be chopped down and last in the house for two weeks. The holiday season has become all about spending money instead of about the glory of God. The only thing that should be important on Christmas is the...

...all the Egyptians by being used for transportation, farming and irrigation, and the seasons. One reason that the Nile river shaped ancient Egypt was because they used the Nile for transportation. They went on boats to go south for trading. When they were low on resources and had a surplus of another thing, they would trade with another tribe to get it. They did not only use the river for trading but they also used the river for traveling to go to new places. They would go to new places if they needed to visit someone, if they needed to move away, or to find more recourses such as copper,granite,iron,or gold. Another reason that the Nile river shaped ancient Egypt was because of farming and irrigation. The Nile helped farming and irrigation because of the rich soil the farmers could plant their crops. The Nile also...

...Who Wants to Be a Millionaire: Week 1 NFL GPP Picks If you are reading this article, I think it is fair to assume that you are a fan of playing fantasy football in some regard. It’s a fantastic game that has become a hobby for football fans of all ages. There is a copious amount of ways to make playing fantasy football even more fun than it already is, but there are no methods better than introducing money. And thanks to DFS, money is aplenty this football season. DraftKings and FanDuel are both making millionaires out of players in week 1 of this NFL season, and it’s my job here to help you become one of those players. Cash games are great, and probably the smarter method of building a bankroll, but that’s not what we’re here to do. This is for those of you who want to go for it all, like I do. These picks are for those of you trying to turn $20 into $2 million (or $25 into $1 million). They are picks that I feel will have low ownership percentages, high scores, and therefore the potential to give you a greater chance at becoming a millionaire without the help of Regis Philbin. Quarterback: Jay Cutler (DK - $6,800; FD - $7,900) - I’m going to start my picks off with some serious stuff, so brace yourself… The Chicago Bears are going to lose week 1 against the Green Bay Packers. I know, riveting stuff. Joking aside, the Bears are very likely going to fall to the Packers as they so often do, and Aaron Rodgers is going to be really good. That means one obvious certainty:...

...I. Abstract There are many reasons why we give gifts today for birthdays, weddings, graduations, etc. to friends and loved ones. A few reasons we give gifts is for peace, protection, love, or because of social obligations. Holiday gifting is a special occasion going back to the beginning of Christianity where the Three Wise Men brought gifts for baby Jesus. This gesture has now turned to giving gifts to our family and friends. The holiday season of 2014 is shaping up to be a prosperous year for retailers. With an estimated 4% increase in holiday sales compared to 2013 and consumer confidence is at its highest because of lower unemployment, higher wages, salaries, and disposable income. Consumers this holiday season are expected to spend approximately $804 on gifts. Along with lower gas and energy prices, consumers are more likely to spend more this holiday than the last on gifts like Disney Frozen Snow Glow Elsa Doll, Apple iPhone 6, and jewelry. Key promotions like Wal-Mart’s price matching policy, Kmart’s layaway service, USPS delivery service schedule hours expansion, the holiday season looks to be headed in a positive way. There are other ways to improve this holiday seasons like online retailers providing free shipping on all purchases or discounting newer products instead of outdated items. The holiday season will be promising! Even 2015 holiday season will be a good one as long as consumers are confident that the U.S. economy is recovering from the recession! II...

...Nick McQuade Exercise Science 4/27/2016 Fitness Management Project In the off season of wrestling this gym will be open for high school wrestlers and even youth wrestlers to come and get stronger and better for the next wrestling season to come.

There will be The culture of this club is to provide nothing but the best and have you come out of any program doing a lot better than before you started.The way this will happen is by us working closely on form and making sure that we are capitalizing on mistakes so that our wrestlers and strength + conditioning group don't make those mistakes again.

"I think the benefit of moving it to September may be confined to maybe NCR and a few other regions, but that may not necessarily translate to additional safety realities for the other regions," he added. Two climate types PAGASA acting deputy administrator for research and development Flaviana Hilario explained that the country has two climate types: Western areas of the country such as the NCR and Central Luzon fall under type 1 climate, which experiences rain from May to September. Eastern areas such as Aurora and the Bicol region experience type 2 climate, with their rainy season lasting from October to January. "So makikita natin baliktad yung kanilang peak ng rainy season. Kung magbabago tayo ng opening of classes then yung isang side yung nasa eastern side mag-uumpisa sila na nandun yung peak ng rainy season," she said. "Based ito sa historical data natin or yung 30-year period natin...halos di nagbabago 'yung mga areas na iyan," she added. Luistro said that the DepEd already...

...Wal-Mart & Target – 2014 Holiday Season Strategy Retail stores Target and Wal-Mart have tacked holiday season in a different way this year compared to before. In previous years, there has been a trend to bring Black Friday’s discounts earlier in November, however, this year Wal-Mart and Target went beyond all market expectations. Wal-Mart’s strategy for the holiday season is “to offer the best brands, to make shopping experience easier, and to continue providing low prices than competitors to bring joy to their customers”, says Duncan Mac Naughton, Wal-Mart Us Chief Merchandising Officer. For 2014 Holiday season these retail stores have begun the season sales on November 1st, providing Black Friday and Cyber Monday discounts from the first week of November all the way till the week before Christmas, stretching the holiday season almost an additional month compared to previous years. Brian Cornell, Target’s Chairman of the Board and CEO, says “Target’s promise is ‘Expect More. Pay Less’, and when we do that, Target is impossible to beat”. Retail stores depend largely on their pricing in order to be competitive and successful in their industry. In order to be able to achieve success, these stores need to implement a pricing strategy that goes in accordance to their mission. In the case of Target and Wal-Mart, their pricing strategy is based on a maximum market share pricing objective. When looking and this retail stores, they possess a huge part of the market and they achieve...

...Melina Hernandez English 101, 39339 20 September 2015 Fall, A.K.A, the Best Season Imagine waking up and walking outside and hearing the crunch of leaves beneath your feet and smelling the crisp fresh and cool air. Fall makes me so happy and I am anxious for it to come every single year. Everything during fall is absolutely wonderful, I love it! Some of the best times that I have had in my life, oddly occurred during the fall season; and I sometimes wonder if that may be part of the reason(s) that I cherish it so much. Fall is such a beautiful and blissful season; it is the best season of the year. Fall is so wonderful mainly because of the beautiful scenery it displays. Here in Arizona, the summers are very hot and dry, and it almost feels dreadful at times; but the fall here is absolutely beautiful. You can start to notice the transition into fall around mid- September because the mornings are sort of wet from the precipitation and you can feel the cool air gently fan across your whole entire body. Not only that, but later in September, the leaves start to turn into the beautiful array of sunburst orange, medallion yellow and cherry red, and when the leaves start to fall onto the cold hard ground, you can feel and hear the crunch of the leaves beneath your feet. The cool air is so crisp and refreshing; you can feel the slight wind of the cool air tingle your cheeks lightly. The weather is not to cold and not too warm, it is just the perfect measure of both. It is lovely. Not...

...Enjoy freedom, sports, exotic foods, socializing? Well then come on down to Saskatchewan! I believe that people should travel to Saskatchewan, Canada, over other places around North America and the world. I think this for multiple reasons like; There are good universities, you can wear certain clothes seasonally, and there are unique and tasty foods to try and add to your palate. My first reason is, there are many great schools and universities to go to and earn an education. Many people who go to schools in Saskatchewan have great social skills and have obtained a high education in interesting topics. Also, there are many professions you can study in and get a degree for. Sure is a great place to learn! Next, another reason you...

...within the selling season. The normal model used within the fashion industry was to take orders well in advance of each selling season, and produce to those orders, with relatively little additional production. If demand was far in excess of this production, there would be stockouts and the company would lose the ability to capture revenue for that season. The product might, or might not, be in fashion the following year, when production would again be based on pre-season orders. Crocs’ ability to build additional shoes within the season enabled it to take advantage of strong customer demand, resulting in the company filling in-season orders totaling many times that of the initial pre-booked orders. The case describes the Crocs supply chain. It asks students to assess the company’s core competencies and how those can be exploited in the future. The case was revised in March 2011 to present information on the company’s results in 2007 and prepare students for discussions of problems would face in 2008 (covered in the B and C cases). Crocs: Revolutionizing an industry’s chain model for competitive advantage Executive Summary: Crocs, Inc. experienced astonishing growth within a short period of time and managed its highly flexible supply chain in ways which enabled Crocs to build additional product within the selling season. Building within the selling season made Crocs take advantage of strong customer demand, resulting in the company filling in-season orders totaling...
