...Kaplan University HU300 – 10 The Tortoise and the Hare: Slow and Steady Wins the Race Steadiness, although progress may be slow, will eventually be more beneficial than being rushed or careless just to get something completed. Mythical stories, fairy tales, and fables have been among the collective unconscious told and passed down for generations to teach the listener/reader morals. The link between the stories and person being told help them understand situations that can lead to a victorious outcome. With determination, one can succeed at almost anything. Our earliest encounters with literature, the stories told or read to us, probably influenced our expectations of later life (Janaro & Altshuler, 2012, p. 56). A well known fable by Aesop, “The Tortoise and the Hare”, is a story that supports the importance of consistency and consequences of arrogance. The fable tells of a hare that boasted about his speed to others. There was a wise tortoise that he repeatedly teased about being very slow. The tortoise became fed up with the hare’s arrogance and challenged the hare to race against him. Both animals agree to a race, and at the start the hare races ahead while the tortoise slowly plows forward. With the tortoise moving so slow the hare was sure a nap wouldn’t jeopardize his chance to beat the tortoise. Waking from a short nap, the hare begins running while leaving the tortoise behind moving at a slow but steady pace. Observing the distance between himself and the tortoise...

...brain decreases and gets weaker over time. A way to help this problem not happen is to exercise. Exercise keeps the mind and body active and improves the overall function of your body. Exercise spurs brain growth. It boosts brain-building hormones. It improves your brain’s executive function. Lastly it can reduce and prevent depression through steady activity a few times a week. Previously I said exercise spurs brain growth, growth of new brains cells slow down and don’t reproduce as fast. According to the article it states, “...our brain tissue actually shrinks. Exercise may be able to reverse that trend.” That’s a possible way that we can prevent or slow down the major decrease in brain growth. Exercise is a simple way to improve brain growth and everyone can become involved into it....

...College level writing to many is a walk in the park on a nice spring day. On the other hand, to me it is a walk in the snow on a slippery slope. As I write; my critical thinking and writing skills are put to the test to deliver the out most "perfect" essay. However; For whatever reason, I get stuck and my thoughts don't make sense. My words and vocabulary don't come together smoothly as you will see in someone's work. Furthermore, college level writing is known to require time, perfect grammar and understanding of your topic. That is why without these essential skills one will end up with a poor unsubstantial essay. Slow and steady is the way to approach college level writing in my opinion. In order to create a great essay, I need time to explore my options. For example, having an idea of the style and approach I will like to take towards the writing I will be working on. Also creating a plan that will help me with putting time a side for my project so that as soon as I get my topic I can take time on my brainstorming. In my case I get off school before noon.

...adoption. In this scenario 100% of the market will eventually adopt the hybrid car. This scenario predicts that the growth will start out slow, until there is a breakthrough in technologies that make the hybrid car even more efficient and affordable to the struggling class. When the breakthrough occurs there will be an accelerated growth and eventually the hybrid car will become the norm with 100% of the market will be adopting the car. - Solar Energy: This is an average scenario for hybrid cars adoption. This scenario predict that the hybrid car will see a steady growth from the beginning but it will never reach 100% market penetration. Unlike the optimistic scenario there will not be a period of extreme growth, instead, the growth will be steady throughout until the penetration reach about 80% of the market. The maximum market penetration potential for this scenario is about 90% and it will take a long time to get there. The reason for this scenario is that the technologies for the hybrid car will advance at a steady rate and at one point will overtake others car technologies, thus, become the best selection in the market. - Diesel Car in Europe: This is a pessimistic scenario for hybrid cars adoption. This scenario is predict a very slow growth for the hybrid cars. The growth will be small starting out and will continue to be slow throughout the years. In this scenario the hybrid car will get at most 40% of the market share and will take a very long time to get there...

...Population growth concerns of African forest elephants A scientific paper recently written by Turkalo et al, Slow intrinsic growth rate in forest elephants, indicates that the recovery of African forest elephants, Loxodonta cyclotis, from poaching will require several decades. This species of African elephant has been experiencing continual population declines driven by illegal killing (poaching) and natural habitat range loss. These scientists completed the 1st ever demographic study on African forest elephant populations. Since 2002, it’s estimated that their population has decreased by 62% and that they have lost 30% of their habitat range. Using data collected in Dzanga forest, located in the Central African Republic, scientists found that...

...Americans are stepping back and asking “what is the current state of the economy?” Although the nation has been experiencing growth and a decrease in unemployment for the past three years, the national annual deficit of $1.1 trillion and the recent fiscal cliff debate along with the government shutdown reflect the nation’s struggle with furthering our economic growth and stability. According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis and the Bureau of Labor Statistics, GDP increased 1.1% in the first quarter of 2013 and 2.5% in the second quarter mainly due to an increase in business investments and goods exports and imports. What we can expect in the next few years is a slow and steady increase in the growth rate. However, many seem skeptical if the increase will be notable to say the least. Like GDP, unemployment has been on a steady decline for the past three years. The unemployment rate dropped from 7.8% in December 2012 to 7.3% in August 2013. This reports that there is an increase in job creations. However, what is more notable is that there is a higher increase in part-time jobs as opposed to full-time jobs, which leaves a bad taste for many because there is no certainty and sense of security. Household debt continues to decline in most categories like credit card debt. Yet consumers continue to remain cautious with a slowdown in consumer spending and spending for goods and services. If this trend continues, we may see that fewer companies will want to hire personnel due to a decrease...

...1.1 Explain the importance of effective supply chain management in achieving organizational objectives? Importance of Supply Chain Management In the ancient Greek fable about the tortoise and the hare, the speedy and overconfident rabbit fell asleep on the job, while the "slow and steady" turtle won the race. That may have been true in Aesop's time, but in today's demanding business environment, "slow and steady" won't get you out of the starting gate, let alone win any races. Managers these days recognize that getting products to customers faster than the competition will improve a company's competitive position. To remain competitive, companies must seek new solutions to important Supply Chain Management issues such as modal analysis, supply chain management, load planning, and route planning and distribution network design. Companies must face corporate challenges that impact Supply Chain Management such as reengineering globalization and outsourcing. Why is it so important for companies to get products to their customers quickly? Faster product availability is key to increasing sales, says R. Michael Donovan of Natick, Mass., a management consultant specializing in manufacturing and information systems. "There's a substantial profit advantage for the extra time that you are in the market and your competitor is not," he says. "If you can be there first, you are likely to get more orders and more market share." The ability to deliver a product faster also can make...

Many people may attempt to form a steady relationship but it ends up moving too fast not allowing enough time for the relationship to properly mature.

...Each musician was practicing parts with the others but no one was in sync. The first song they played was collaboration of all the instruments coming together in consonance harmony to gain the audience attention. It was announced that the first song to be played was an original composition by Robin Henkel, “Free Advice” is what he called it. The tune was played with a tonal center of B flat and started with a trumpet solo and soprano sax accompaniment. This song carried the tempo for the night with a smooth steady tone. The next song was entitled “Jeeps Blues”, it used the keynote of “C” and kept 4/4 time. This song had a very syncopated rhythm that had people out of their seats and dancing, myself included. All the elements we have been learning about were present in this tune. It started off in a mezzo Piano tone and during solos it reached a fortissimo tone. This particular song had a very bright tone color and homophonic element. The drums and bass kept a very steady rhythmic tempo. The next song played,...

...guest appearances from some featured performers such as Hollis Gentry on sax, Tommy Aros on Latin Percussions, and Pat Fitzpatrick on electrical bass. Some of the songs were composed and arranged by Dave Scott or Bill Shreeve. I was able to catch their performance this Monday night on August 4th. I was able to listen in on a few pieces during my one hour and thirty minutes there. One of the pieces was titled “Blue Cheer.” The piece was highlight with the solo play of the saxophone player, Bill Shreeve. I found out after the performance that this piece was arranged and composed by Bill himself. It explains the dominant play of the sax in this particular piece. The piece was mellow yet had an upbeat feel to it. The bass provided a steady beat throughout the piece and the drums and symbols provided a mellow rhythm to the piece. The piano play was very subtle; you would have to really focus in on the piece to hear the piano player. There was a distinct rhythm throughout the piece provided by the sax. The piece...
