...THE LORD PLANTS A VINEYARD ISAIAH 5:1-7 A RESEARCH PAPER SUBMITTED TO DR. TODD BEALL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR COMPLETION OF THE COURSE, OBST 661 B02 ISAIAH Introduction Let us begin this lesson with a word of prayer: Lord Jesus, we ask for your continued grace as we study these passages from Isaiah and learn what it is that you wish for your Church to take from the prophetic nature found in this ancient song sung by the prophet about your vineyard. Let your Holy Spirit guide us through this lesson and the study of your Holy Word. Amen. As we delve into this particular passage of Scripture you will notice that Isaiah weaves the two basic themes of judgment and salvation interchangeably throughout the accounts recorded in this prophecy. By using the agrarian image of the vineyard, in these two pericopes (which are sections of a whole), Isaiah makes a perfect case in point of God’s continued grace in the accomplishment of His divine will in all circumstances. Summary Statement: The objective of this lesson is to understand Isaiah’s creative use of the prophetic language in this image of the vineyard in order to teach the Church that through God’s judgment, which is richly deserved by all, they can be comforted to experience God’s overwhelming grace and salvation. The Parable Explained There are many different views when it comes to identifying the genre, or literary type, of this prophecy. The majority of which lie in how the original...

Industry background The history of the Australian Wine Industry originates back to 1788 when Captain Arthur Philip a leader of European settlers introduced it into Australia (Bartlett, Ghoshal & Beamish, 2008, p.666). According to the case study, Australian is originally a beer drinking country, and in 1969 the industry experienced a slow down whereby annual per capita wine consumption was at 8.2 liters as compared to 100 liters per person per annum in France and Italy. The Australian Wine Industry also underwent through transformation and the following changes happen; first, table wine varieties replaced the fortified wines which experienced decrease in demand (Bartlett, Ghoshal & Beamish, 2008, p.666). Second, Bottled varietals like sauvignon and Chardonnay replaced the bulky ‘bag in box’ two litter wine (Bartlett, Ghoshal & Beamish, 2008, p.666).

In a state of dissonance, people may sometimes feel "disequilibrium": frustration, hunger, dread, guilt, anger, embarrassment, anxiety, etc. The phrase was coined by Leon Festinger in his 1956 book When Prophecy Fails, which chronicled the followers of a UFO cult as reality clashed with their fervent belief in an impending apocalypse. Festinger subsequently (1957) published a book called A Theory of Cognitive Dissonance in which he outlines the theory. Cognitive dissonance is one of the most influential and extensively studied theories in social psychology. The theory of cognitive dissonance...

...Scientific Article DALAT WINE: CHALLENGES IN ESTABLISHING THE NATIONAL WINE BRAND POSITION IS STILL YEARS AHEAD -*Ngo Binh, MA. in Marketing Bui Thi Lan Huong, PhD. I. COMPANY HISTORY 1.1 Wine manufacturing traditional in Dalat (Vietnam) Dalat wine has been popular in Dalat, an attractive city located 1500 m above sea level on Langbian high lands. For long time ago, Dalat wine has been produced traditionally by local producers from blackberries (dau tam). Traditional wine makers in Dalat grow themselves dau tam at Bong Lai area. It is reportedly that the first wine producer was Lafaro, a local company founded by Nguyen Huu Duc in 1974. This company imported a new variety of dau tam to produce its wine. Unfortunately, the company stopped to operate in 1975. Nguyen Chi Man, a 80-year-old man, who did distribute this wine at that time, asked the company's owner this variety of mulberry' seeds to grow, then to make wine for his own consumption and later on for his small business in Dalat. Since then, other traditional wine makers follow him to open wine factories and mulberry plantations, especially in Bong Lai. Because of their small scale, they did not build up particular brand name for their wine. Dalat wine has been considered effectively as a “geographical indication”. Dalat wine has been consumed mostly by Dalat residents. The mind climate of Dalat is the favorable place for consuming red wine, especially in traditional holidays. According to Nguyen Trong Anh Dong, Vice-Secretary...

...The Fresher, The Better It is undeniable that food is essential for survival. What makes food enjoyable is the limitless array of flavors beyond sweet, sour, bitter, or salty. However, what plays a major role in how food tastes is where the food is grown. Depending on freshness, food that is not grown locally will not taste as good as food that is produced locally. Therefore, eating food that has been grown locally will make a difference in one’s diet. Locally grown food will benefit our health and our environment. One will notice the enhanced taste, making the food more flavorful. Locally grown food has many perks including the difference in taste, higher nutritional value, supports the local economy, promotes safer food supplies, and the locals can always tell you where the food came from. The United States is the number one site where obesity is prevalent because of what people eat. It is easy to eat on a low budget depending on the choices individuals make. People become obese when they start making unhealthy choices regarding their diet. If one decides to eat fast food and junk food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, it will only be a matter of time before they start noticing health issues. In the article “Is Junk Food Really Cheaper,” Mark Bittman reveals that junk food is not cheaper than a home cooked meal. He argues that you could feed your family a home cooked meal for less than it costs to go to McDonalds. For example, he concedes that “two Big Macs, a cheeseburger...

...Toyota: A Transnational Case Study Toyota is one of the worlds leading car manufacturers and is the third largest in the world. Although based in Japan, Toyota produces most of its cars in its transplants in Georgetown, Kentucky, and Burnaston, Derbyshire. Toyota is a typical transnational corporation who understand that considerable gains can be made by locating manufacturing plants outside their country of origin. Toyota expanded to Europe in 1992 in order to achieve the benefits associated with establishing a manufacturing base in another country. Transnational corporations search out locations for their plants outside their original country because they can overcome costs such as transport and duties on imports and exports. Transnational corporations are the most important force causing changes in global economic activity. Companies often use transplants for routine assembly work which is known as 'backend work'. This allows the main company base to focus closely on the research and development aspect of the industry. This is the higher paid 'front end work'. A company often sets up a transplant in an area where the raw materials required for the manufacture of their products can be found. This saves transportation costs and the company can avoid import/export tariffs. One of the main reasons for companies setting up transplants is to gain a better understanding of the local market. It is beneficial for a company to manufacture the products in the...

...INTRODUCTION Grapevine communication is the informal communication network within an organization. Grapevine is used to spread information bypassing the formal communication structure. Just like the grapevine plant: it spreads in random ways and it goes where it can. It is formed by individuals and groups in an organization. The people in the groups have something in common that links them together. A person can belong to one or more groups. A grapevine communication is a form of informal communication by which people communicates each other without any formal line of communication. It’s called Grapevine because like that of a grape vine it’s impossible to find the origin of information which results in spread of rumours. Grapevine communication is a form of informal business communication, which develops within an organization. It means gossip, usually gossip that spreads and covers a lot of ground (a lot of people), much like vines do.

...International Management November 16, 2014 Mr. McCaskill, Sr Dimensions of Organizational Culture Profile (OCP) Introduction This white paper describes a generalized cultural profile of me personally, as an American using the 8 criterions or 8 distinct values in a study conducted by Philip R. Harris and Robert T. Moran, which provides a basis of comparison with other cultures and, thus, suggests the likely differences in workplace behaviors. As an American, I feel justified in admitting that those who grow up in the United States are generally poorly prepared for cross-cultural relationships. Although from the lessons of this course, my experience and exposure of living locally within a different culture have held me in good stead throughout my career and personal life, parts of it were a struggle how an understanding of the local culture and business environment can give managers an advantage in competitive industries. Americans at a Glance It is relatively simple for Americans to pull together a descriptive profile of U.S. culture, even though regional and individual differences exist, because Americans know themselves and because researchers have thoroughly studied U.S. culture. The results of one such study by Harris and Moran, provides a basis of comparison with other cultures and, thus, suggests the likely differences in workplace behaviors. As generally understood, the culture of a society comprises the shared values, understandings, assumptions, and goals that...

...tiny neighborhood market around the corner from my office—the place I go when I need cat food or laundry detergent on short notice—displays more than half a dozen olive oils. Nearby, an “upscale” grocery stocks more than 100. America’s collective insecurity about olive oil is rooted in inexperience. Even today, with all the hype about olive oil’s health benefits (see below) and foodie curb appeal, only 30 percent of Americans have a bottle or two in their pantry. We’ve been, in the eyes of the world’s olive oil cultures, a bit sophomoric in our tastes, gravitating to the “extra light” oils some Europeans wouldn’t use in their lamps. But we’re trainable, and I daresay, quick studies. Take wine, for example: Seems to me we went from Riunite to Petrus in zero to sixty. Hey, wine is, afterall, just grape juice, and olive oil is just olive juice. It ain’t that intimidating. Armed with a few facts, you can make intelligent choices the next time you shop for or cook with the stuff Homer dubbed “liquid gold.” • EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL - This is the ur oil, the first-pressed oil that is...

...Dialysis case study A 66-year-old black male was seen by his primary provider for complaints of fatigue, anorexia, swelling of hands, face, and ankles, muscles cramps, and increased difficulty breathing. He has a 3-year history of poorly controlled hypertension related to non-adherence to the medical regimen. His B/P routinely runs in the range 155-165/92-102. His B/P today was 170/105. The client does not like to take pills and feels that they are not necessary. He also has been reluctant to modify his diet and likes to eat fried foods. He does not think his eating habits are causing any problems. Because of these symptoms, the client was admitted to the hospital for treatment and further evaluation. His lab values and renal studies confirmed the diagnosis of end stage kidney disease. Because of the severity of his problems, he was started on hemodialysis. What is the likely cause of his kidney failure? Explain your answers His kidney failure is caused by uncontrolled blood pressure and lack of treatment compliance. When you have uncontrolled high blood pressure it affects the kidneys because the blood vessels narrow and stiffen causing the nephrons in the kidney to work harder. Eventually if hypertension is left untreated it can lead to end stage renal disease because the nephrons in the kidney are no longer able to filter out the toxins such as nitrogen waste which builds up in the blood. They also are unable to maintain fluid or electrolyte balance. Eventually...

...Complimentary Sample Summary Made To Stick Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die THE SUMMARY Some stories stick with us forever. Long after we hear them, we could easily re-tell them. A lot of Aesop’s fables are like that: The Boy Who Cried Wolf, The Goose that Laid the Golden Egg, etc. We are all familiar with the opposite experience—reading an article that we can’t remember five minutes after we have finished, or listening to a lecture that leaves our brain as quickly as it enters. They are the opposite of “sticky.” Why do some ideas succeed while others fail? How do we nurture our ideas so they’ll succeed in the world? Many of us struggle with how to communicate ideas effectively, how to get our ideas to make a difference. This book is about how to do just that. In researching successful, “sticky” stories, six principles emerged. Sticky ideas shared certain traits that made them more likely to succeed. This doesn’t mean that there is a formula that guarantees success, but it does mean it is possible to greatly improve our odds. The six principles are: About the Authors Chip Heath is a professor of organizational behavior in the Graduate School of Business at Stanford University.

...THE STUDY OF THE PRESERVATIVE EFFECT OF A BLEND OF Tamarindus indica and Ziziphus abyssinica EXTRACTS IN EXTENDING THE SHELF- LIFE OF MEAT BALLS ABSTRACT The study is aimed at finding out if combining the two herbs would result in a more effective preservative than when each herb is used independently.Preservation using natural products is associated with the presence of antioxidants,antimicrobial,antifungal or dehydrating properties. Fresh meatballs are made from meats that have not been previously cured,they are made from ground meat,either pork,beef or veal. Meatballs are however susceptible to microbial spoilage and auto-oxidation. The artificial chemical preservatives used in meatball preservation.eg sodium metabisulphite may be replaced by natural extracts such as Tamarind and Ziziphus extracts which have both antimicrobial and anti-oxidant properties. The extracts will be obtained from Tamarind andZiziphusseeds.The seeds will be dried and ground into powder followed by liquid/liquid extraction. The extraction was carried out by 400ml ethyl acetate and water for 100grams from each sample. The fresh meatballs will be processed in the JKUAT meat workshop using the correct recipe. Fresh meatballs batch with no preservative will act as the control. Another batch with sodium metabisulphite and finally with the seed extracts. The processed fresh meatballs will be stored at 40c and at 250c and the samples analyzed within a staggered period of 4 weeks for auto-oxidation,microbial...
