...I am the second child of seven siblings and a first-generation college student. My older sister currently attends the University of Iowa with plans to attend law school. The five others in my family range from middle school to elementary school-aged children. I plan to attend Simpson College in Indianola to receive a bachelor's degree in biology and to study pre-chiropractic care. After Simpson, I plan to enroll in the class of 2024 at Palmer in Davenport to finish my studies in chiropractic care. I then hope to one day open my own practice near my hometown of Mount Vernon and support the community that has raised me and brought me to where I am today. If someone were to ask who Blaine Schumacher is, I believe their response to be that he is...

...The strongest campaign for clear communication of Chipotle’s integrity is through two short films. The short film “Back to the Start” is about American farms reverting back from an industrial scale and practice to the smaller, more environmentally safe method of raising livestock. It depicts a stop-motion video of approximately two minutes of how a hog farmer reverts from CAFO practices to the healthier alternative of sustainable and family farming (Simpson 2015, p. 44). “Scarecrow” is the second short film which depicts a world of scarecrows who live an unsustainable life through the company “Crow Foods”, and as a result, a lone scarecrow searches for a better alternative (Simpson 2015, p. 44-45). In both shorts, Chipotle’s branding is subtle, and only the logo along with “Cultivate a better world” showing at the end (Simpson 2015, p. 44-45). Several American companies and individuals viewed the short films as an attack on industrial farming, whereas Chipotle’s main focus was to raise awareness and prove a better way of...

...Jadesola Adenikinju Comm. 225 March, 26 2012 Professor Wells Kisura Self-Ethnography My Way of Happiness Since I was at the tender age of seven, I have always tried to make myself happy. Growing up in a divided broken family; forced me to believe that my father is a terrible killer and hates his children. Coming from this type of family that’s full of issues like sudden death, stagnation, infidelity, mental illness, and spiritual warfare made me very sad. I built self-esteem of worthlessness. My parents were so caught up in their bitter fights that they forgot my needs. I honestly think they just did not care and took out their resentment on me. When I realized my unaccepptance in my family I completely withdrew. I grasped doing things on my own like getting to school, cooking, laundry, answering the phone, working in my mother’s shop alone, and always caring for my junior brother. If I was not caring for my little brother, watching TV sitcoms/cartoons like “Bobby’s World” and the “Simpsons”, completing house chores which was a must was my daily living. Television was one of the things that made me happy. I believe my upbringing molded me into who I am today which is of course my identity. According to Martin, Nakayama identity is the concept of who we are. Characteristics of identity may be understood differently depending on the perspectives that people take people take for example, social psychological, communication, or critical perspectives. My full name is Jadesola...

...RESUMES WHAT IS A RESUME? A resume is a custom designed, written summary of your background. It provides a thumbnail sketch of your education, experience, and qualifications to a prospective employer. An effective resume targets a specific type of position and relates your skills and experience to that position. WHO WRITES A RESUME? A resume is written by anyone seeking employment, both part-time and full-time. Although there are companies that provide resume-writing services, the most effective resumes are written by the job seeker--after all, who else knows you, your qualifications, and your experiences better--someone you just met, or you? WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF A RESUME? A good resume (in combination with a cover letter) will provide you with an interview. The employer will select applicants on the basis of how well their skills match up with the job requirements. Sometimes, the difference between getting an interview and being placed in the “no” pile is a well put-together resume. GENERAL RESUME GUIDELINES: Length: • A one-page resume works for the recent graduate. If you have extensive work history, two pages are reasonable. Remember to limit pertinent to what is important to the current job objective. Appearance: • Developing a well organized, readable layout determines if it gets read! Direct the reader’s eyes to the format. • Avoid dense text appearance, which is difficult to read. • Use high-quality white or off-white paper--stay conservative...

...Mid-Main Friends of Bangladesh – Bangladesh Health Project Annual Report June 30, 20121 1. Program development a. Students.

In late December, twenty-two BSN graduates had their Certificates of Graduation confirmed by the Government of Bangladesh. In the picture below, some are shown with Pro-Vice-Chancellor Prof. Mahmuda Khanum and Chair, Health Sciences, Dr. Karen Lund. In all about thirty students have graduated.

Acquaintances recount his uncanny ability to calculate columns of numbers off the top of his head - a feat Warren still amazes business colleagues with today. a fierce critic of the interventionist New Deal domestic and foreign policy, and his wife Leila (née Stahl). Buffett's DNA report revealed that his paternal ancestors hail from northern Scandinavia, while his maternal ancestors hail from Iberia (present-day Spain[15]) or Estonia.[16] It's been also reported that Warren is not related to Jimmy Buffett despite the same surname.[15] Buffett began his education at Rose Hill Elementary School in Omaha. In 1942, his father was elected to the first of four terms in the United States Congress, and after moving with his family to Washington, D.C., Warren finished elementary school, attended Alice Deal Junior High School, and graduated from Woodrow Wilson High School in 1947, where his senior yearbook picture reads: "likes math; a future stockbroker" At only six years old, Buffett purchased 6-packs of Coca Cola from his grandfather's grocery store for twenty five cents and resold each of the bottles for a nickel, pocketing a five cent profit. While other children his age were playing hopscotch and jacks, Warren was making money. Even as a child, Buffett displayed an interest in making and saving money.

...Enterprise Resource Planning - Facts, Benefits and Critical Elements for a Successful Implementation in Small Manufacturing Company Azhanorhisam Che Din 1. Introduction Imagine a world without technology, and imagine a company without Enterprise Resources Planning (ERP). Perhaps we can still survive without technology, but without ERP, a company may fail to remain competitive as they fail to respond quickly to new practices and procedures.

...negotiations that rapidly declined into a no hope situation. On August the 17th 1991 the Desert Shield became Desert Storm. The conflict was witnessed by millions through the IF, CNN and the BBC showing propaganda of the systematic eradication of Saddam's forces by a coalition far superior in technological, political and economic power. However what was little known was that from the outset the war was engineered, controlled and manipulated by an elite group. A group which had created the illusion of a man with power at the head of a million strong army on the verge of going nuclear. A man who had gained control of the 1/5 of the World's oil overnight. However in reality he was merely a pawn in amongst many pawns. Just a puppet in a grand master plan with the Gulf War as a well orchestrated stepping stone. The orchestrates of the War were by no means strangers to controlling major World events. In fact they have done so for centuries. From the shadows they have engineered every major war, revolution and recession. They control everything you read, everything you hear and everything you see. They have managed to indoctrinate an entire populace to their way of thinking and have infiltrated key positions in places of authority and it is from the shadows they have created a new political order, a new economic order and most sinister a new religious order. Their ultimate aim is total global domination and they will stop at nothing to reach their goal. The goal that was outlined in a speech...
