After multiple employee reports, the inspector obtained a search warrant to inspect the facility to see the building waste management processes. The search results from the inspector came up with two major issues that the company was doing, and the owner was denying. First, the several waste drums contained electroplating chemicals that could not be used any more, this is due to them being used multiple times already and could not be used any more for future use. The owner stated that the solutions were still good and will be used later for plating processes. Further investigations showed that they chemical were corroding the metal containers and releasing toxic chemicals in the air while the employees were working.

According to legend, there is a hollow rock situated in the beach of the island. When the tide rises and hits the rock, it sounds like beating of the drums. Therefore, the island is named as “Gulangyu”. Due to its fascinating scenery and gentle pace of life, it ranks among one of the top twenty popular scenic spots in China. Every year, thousands of tourists around the world are attracted to the island by its reputation. Last summer, I was honored to appreciate her beauty. After getting off the tour bus, I was met by a gentle sea breeze, mixed with the flavor of sea and the fragrance of flowers. The fresh air around me gave me an immediate peace and relaxation. Looking around, two rows of phoenix trees, the civic tree of Xiamen, were standing along the roadside, stretching their arms to greet the guests coming from afar. The phoenix flowers were in full blossom, exhibiting various shapes. Though the sun was hot, yet strolling under the trees, I was enclosed by coolness as the flourishing branches and leaves formed a natural sunshade for the visitors. Moving ahead, clusters of lovely purple flowers caught my eyes. Triangle plums, the civic flowers of Xiamen, were displaying their graceful figures. Enormous of them dotted the trees, resemble thousands of stars decorated the night sky. They clustered...

...directed and written by Thomas McCarthy. The movie takes place in New York and revolves around Dr. Walter the main character who is attending a conference to present a paper he co-authored. From the very start of the film Walter is depicted as a discontent and lonely college professor who can't seem to figure out what he wants to do with his life. However, unbeknownst to Walter his life is about to take a radical change with some help from fate. The plot of the movie takes hold when Walter arrives in New York to give his presentation at the conference. Upon arriving in New York he is shocked to find another couple living in his apartment. Walter soon finds out the couple was scammed into believing Walter’s apartment was available for rent. After being confronted by Walter the couple hastily moves out of the apartment apologizing to Walter multiple times for the misunderstanding. From this scene till the end of the movie there are various intercultural communication concepts that are clearly emphasized in the movie which demonstrate the culture differences between the characters. And by utilizing the concepts I have learned in class it has given me a whole new perspective on the movie. One of the main dialectic themes that stems throughout the entire movie is the Privilege–Disadvantage Dialectic. This dialectic is prevalent in each of the characters, although it affects each character differently. The Privilege–Disadvantage Dialectic states that a person may be privileged...

The cannibal’s action is "one of those human secrets that baffle probability." This helps Marlow keep his restraint, for if the natives can possess this quality Marlow feels he certainly can. Kurtz is the essence of the lack of restraint Marlow sees everywhere. Kurtz has "kicked himself loose from the earth." "He owes no allegiance to anything except those animal powers, those various lusts, and those unpermitted aspirations lurking in the darkness of his inner station.

...Appreciation and Gratitude – Life Lesson Finally, after so many years I am on my way home, “second” home after my parents’. I feel very excited, as it is not just a house that I used to rent, but a “magic” place, where being away from my parents I could experience home comfort. I haven’t been there for about five years since I graduated from University, and I miss it a lot. This time is going to be a short stay, for only a few days, but I am glad I can spend it there. That place made my school time enjoyable, and the landlady Maria treated me like her own granddaughter. She was a lovely and a very kind-hearted person and could cheer me up when I needed it most. All my friends and I loved her because of her young and vibrant mind with a trusting spirit. Despite of her age, she remained a very beautiful creature; her blue eyes and warm smile could make anyone feel welcome. With the snow-white hair she was almost like an angel. Her house itself was very charming although not fashionable; it was more like country style. Wooden furniture made from logs and twigs, roughly cut and sawn with no ornate, looked very simple and straight. I loved the kitchen with its old open-shelved dresser, wooden draining racks for plates above the sink, and the big wooden table decorated with dried flowers. The handmade wool rugs on the floor and the linen curtain on the windows reflected in warmth and cosiness. She surrounded herself with the things she loved. Each item in the house had a story and...

...------------------------------------------------- Philippine History/Before The Coming of Spanish Colonialists < Philippine History Before the coming of Spanish colonizers, the people of the Philippine archipelago had already attained a semicommunal and semislave social system in many parts and also a feudal system in certain parts, especially in Mindanao and Sulu, where such a feudal faith as Islam had already taken roots. The Aetas had the lowest form of social organization, which was primitive communal. ------------------------------------------------- The Society[edit] The barangay was the typical community in the whole archipelago. It was the basic political and economic unit independent of similar others. Each embraced a few hundreds of people and a small territory. Each was headed by a chieftain called the rajah or datu. Social Structure[edit] The social structure comprised a petty nobility, the ruling class which had started to accumulate land that it owned privately or administered in the name of the clan or community. * Maharlika: an intermediate class of freemen called the Maharlika who had enough land for their livelihood or who rendered special service to the rulers and who did not have to work in the fields. * Timawa: the ruled classes that included the timawa, the serfs who shared the crops with the petty nobility. * Alipin: and also the slaves and semislaves who worked without having any definite share in the harvest.

...However, the Australian taxation system has been persistently scrutinized by its taxpayers for its many pitfalls in providing an equitable means of raising government revenue. In my opinion, the major shortcomings of the Australian taxation system include its lack of neutrality, with reference to high-income earners and small business owners, its constant lobbying towards the baby boomer generation, its current ageing population crisis and the permitted negative gearing of investment properties. Many sweeping reforms have been suggested in an attempt to rectify these issues, however it seems that no such recommendations have been implemented. Neutrality of Australia’s Tax System I believe that there are too many vested interests and rent seekers in today’s society for the Australian tax system to be neutral. However, in my opinion, the Australian tax system favors high-income earners and small businesses, in reference to negative gearing, discretionary family trusts and unfair deductible expenses. Negative gearing refers to when an investor purchases a rental property, but the net rental income is not enough to cover the interest on the money borrowed. Negative gearing favors the high-income earners due to the fact that the higher the tax rate calculated on taxable income, the higher the benefit of negative gearing. In relation to family trusts, I believe that it is unfair that current tax policy allows high-income earners (with high tax rates) to avoid tax by way of the...

...Essay 1 What Goad means by White Niggers have feeling too is that every ethnic group and rich whites feel it’s okay to pick on poor white rural white people. What he does is compare the word “Redneck” with the word “Nigger” in how they are both used in today’s society through news stories. The double standard comes into play because one word is ok to use to describe poor white trash “Redneck” while the other word used to describe poor black trash “Nigger” is unacceptable. He uses the dictionary as an example of the double standard for both words. The word “Nigger” has a one word definition as “negro” with an apologetic disclaimer basically saying that it “is only acceptably used in Black English and very taboo to use because of its link with slavery” (Goad, 21). While the term “Redneck” is defined “as a poor, white, rural southerner often, specif., often one is regarded as ignorant, bigoted, violent, etc…” (Goad, 21) Essay 2 Goad traces back class conflict to Preroman times when people were hunter gathers who either traveled alone or in small groups. When the alone people ran into these small groups they were prey just as the smaller groups were prey for larger ones. By necessity these groups became loosely netted communities of clans who stuck together or were taken over by invaders. These groups were usually absorbed into the centralized agriculture slave states by force. The occurred when the men who wanted to remain outside the city slave states who hunted alone...
