Kasundo niya ang mga kapit-bayan at lalung-lalo na ang mga taga-Japon, sila'y kabilihan at kapalitan ng mga kalakal, malabis ang pagyabong ng lahat ng pinagkakakitaan, kaya't dahil dito'y mayaman ang kaasalan ng lahat, bata't matanda at sampung mga babae ay marunong bumasa at sumulat ng talagang pagsulat nating mga Tagalog. Dumating ang mga Kastila at dumulog na nakipagkaibigan. Sa mabuti nilang hikayat na diumano, tayo'y aakayin sa lalong kagalingan at lalong imumulat ang ating kaisipan, ang nasabing nagsisipamahala ay nangyaring nalamuyot sa tamis ng kanilang dila sa paghibo. Gayon man sila'y ipinailalim sa talagang kaugaliang pinagkayarian sa pamamagitan ng isang panunumpa na kumuha ng kaunting dugo sa kani-kanilang mga ugat, at yao'y inihalo't ininom nila kapwa tanda ng tunay at lubos na pagtatapat na di magtataksil sa pinagkayarian.

...RIN DETERGENT: TO POSITION OR REPOSITION In early January 1989, Irfan Mustafa, General Manager, Personal Products and Market Research, Lever Brothers Pakistan Limited, was wondering what action to take regarding the marketing of the laundry detergent bar RIN, which had been introduced to the Pakistani market in April 1984. The product was specially formulated and promoted as a fabric washer. Mr. Mustafa felt the sales volumes for RIN had reached reasonably satisfactory levels in 1988. However, a recent survey confirmed his suspicion that RIN was primarily being used for dish washing. COMPANY Lever Brothers Pakistan Limited (Levers), a subsidiary of Lever Brothers International, produced and marketed a variety of consumer products in Pakistan. The company’s diverse product line consisted of items such as shampoos, skin and shaving creams, edible oils, margarine, toilet soaps, scourers, and laundry detergents in powder and solid bar forms. In 1988, Levers had a profit before tax of Rs 277 million on sales of Rs 3.65 billion.1 MARKET In 1988, the total fabric wash sales of 263,050 tonnes in Pakistan consisted of 247,000 tonnes of laundry soap, 14,500 tonnes of nonsoap detergent (NSD) powders, and 1550 tonnes of NSD bars.2 The laundry soap, NSD detergent, and NSD bar markets had grown by 5 percent, 12 percent, and 29 percent respectively, as compared to 1987. Laundry soap retailed for Rs 10 to Rs 15 per kilogram (kg), whereas NSD detergent powders had a wider price range, retailing...

The survey which was conducted by Deloitte in conjunction with the Venture Capital Associations of India, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Israel, US and the UK said that high returns generated by IPOs are critical for the sustainence of a healthy venture capital industry. "Clearly the industry continues to feel the ripple effects of the global economic downturn -- most notably in the form of limited exit opportunities," said Mark Jensen, partner, Deloitte & Touche LLP and United States national managing partner for venture capital services. As per the survey over 57 per cent of Indian venture capitalists surveyed stated that current IPO activity levels in the country is low, while globally, more than 80 per cent believe so.

...Personal Best Athlete Profile Bill Altman, 82 San Antonio, Texas Senior softballer proves “If you build it, they will come” When Bill Altman retired from his Air Force career, he was itching for something to do to keep moving. He had played baseball in high school, fast pitch softball at the University of Michigan and had even spent a year on the Air Force all star softball team. But after flying missions over Vietnam and starting a family, he had not found time for sports. When he learned about senior games having softball, he found some guys his age to make up a team. It was fun and he wanted to play more. But there were no other senior teams in San Antonio. Bill Altman changed all that. He and his team found more players, and the San Antonio Senior Softball League was founded in 1987. He is still its chairman and primary advocate. The league obtained old fields from the city and fixed them up with money they raised. Today there are hundreds of seniors from every walk of life that are sharing the love of baseball and staying fit for life. The league has a plan to expand to a modern complex that will meet their growing needs and can host regional tournaments to bring in tourism. In addition to managing, playing and running the league, Altman has participated in state and national senior games in softball, tennis and track and field events. He’s also been inducted into the Texas Senior Softball Hall of Fame. Along the way he has maintained his Personal Best and helped...

...Audienca Në mënyre që të komunikojmë neve na nevojitet audienca – komunikimi nuk është solo aktivitet. Një nga çelësit e të qenit të suksesshëm në komunikim është të thuhet gjëja e duhur në çastin e duhur me audiencën e duhur. Me siguri keni dëgjuar këtë frazë: Auuuu, si e tha atë gjë në asi rrethana? Fjalim jo i keq, por jo për ata njerëz! Kjo përmbajtje do të ishte OK për e-mail por që kjo ti prezantohet Bordit! Të gjitha këto kanë mungesë të fjalëve të duhura, është dashur të jetë më mirë e shkruar që ti përshtatet audiencës së cilës dëshirojmë ti flasim. Komunikimi është i suksesshëm vetëm nëse audience mendon që ishte i suksesshëm. Kjo është dëshmia e komunikimit të suksesshëm. Mendoni tani për implikimet e këtyre deklaratave. Kjo do të thotë se sado që krenohemi me komunikimin që e bëjmë, ajo duhet te kete efekt pozitiv në audiencën, e me pozitiv nënkuptojmë: * U tërheq vëmendjen * I inkurajon të lexojnë ose dëgjojnë më tepër * I nxit disa pyetje * I bën te mendojnë, të qeshin, të pyeten Nëse këto nuk ndodhin atëherë nuk mund të themi se komunikimi ka qenë i suksesshëm. Ndoshta kjo tingëllon ashpër por nëse mendoni pakëz do e shihni se është e vërtet. Imagjinojeni, një prezantuese në skenë, flet dhe mendon që po i shkon mirë por nëse e pyet audiencën pas prezantimit për përshtypjet ata për çudi thonë: “mërzitshëm” ose “na mbyti”.

...Did my parents really just send me to Los Angeles by MYSELF? It doesn’t sink in that I’m completely alone, until I’m sitting in my ridiculously small and square dorm room. The walls are empty and bare and blinding white, my suitcases sit untouched at the foot of my bed, and I just want to go home. How could my father send me to boarding school, across the FREAKIN’ country, without even asking me if I wanted to come? Meanwhile, the city is oddly silent, as I curl into a ball at the foot of my bed. I cannot lose it. The walls are so paper thin, that all of Cyprus Hall will be able to hear me. And, then I won’t make any friends and no one will want to hang out with me and my life will just be horrible. I feel a lump rise in my throat,...

...Diana Rodriguez Clare Foland English 102 23 October, 2015 “Summary of Don't Send in the Clones” In her article “Don’t Send in the Clones”, author Maureen Dowd states the arising issues, according to her with having Facebook applications such as RoomBug and websites such as URoom surf to automatically generate the perfect roommate by matching students with similar interests, ideas, and hobbies; therefore, students averting being surprised with a roommate that is unlike them. Dowd opens with her own personal experience as a college student being paired up with roommates that embodied a different way of thinking. Dowd then describes how “co-habiting with snarly and moody roomies prepared [her] for the working world, where people can be outlandishly cantankerous over small stuff”( 737). As a result, Dowd argues that college is intended for encountering a diverse student population. Additionally, Dowd believes that people will always have differences or similarities; thus, Dowd notes that students should learn to co-opt with students that have a multitude of different ideas, backgrounds, and perspectives. For this reason, Dowd believes this promotes self-growth and prepares students for the working sector. Dowd concludes by encouraging students to not have the same experiences over and over again. Subsequently, at the end of the essay Dowd says, “College is not only where you hit the books. It should also be where you learn not to judge a book by its cover” (737). Hence...

...A single parent is a parent with one or more children, who is/are not living with the child's/children's other parents. The definition of single parenthood may vary according to local laws of nations or provinces. Single parenthood may occur as a result of loss (death of spouse, separation, divorce, abandonment by one parent), or by choice (single parent adoption, donor insemination, egg donor/surrogate motherhood, choosing to carry to term an unexpected pregnancy and raise the child on one's own). More than 25% of children in the U.S. live with only one parent (U.S. Bureau of Census, 1997). Research about the welfare of children in single-parent families varies. Many factors influence the outcome of how children fare: parent's age, education level, and occupation, family income, family's support network from friends and extended family members (including the absent parent if available). Further, outcomes in families where single-parenthood is chosen is higher, as the single parent is typically older, has established employment and social supports, and has considered the pros and cons of raising a child alone. Statistically, children in single parent homes fare worse than those with two parents. In the United States, family structure contributes to five characteristics of a child's well being. These include lower birthrates and higher death rates among infants when there is just one parent. Also, the number of children ages 15-17 in school and in good health is much lower...

...Sexting and the Dangers of Pressing “Send” Sex texting, or more commonly known as sexting, involves the sending, receiving or forwarding of sexual photos or sexually suggestive messages through text message or email. The way we communicate today has been revolutionized with the advances in technology, namely the Smartphone. Rather than rely on flirting with someone of the opposite sex face-to-face like generations of the past, technology of the 21st century emboldens teenagers to increase the level of intimacy in a relationship from the palm of one’s hand. While high school and college students send sexual messages for a variety of reasons, the act of sending a nude photo can be exciting for both the sender and receiver. However, once the original message has left the source, the originator no longer has control over the material. In some cases, these explicit images may be lost, forwarded, or used as blackmail after a nasty breakup. As a result, there are multiple social, legal, and devastating risks involved when a teenager chooses to sext that have the potential to be avoided through increased awareness and understanding of sexting behaviors. The age at which American teens acquire their first cell phone is growing younger and younger, increasing the likelihood and prevalence of sexting among high school students. According to a survey by the PEW Research Center, 75% of all teens ages 12-17 own a cell phone that they use, not just for calling, but to access social...
