...The place where I am most content also happens to be the place that brings out the best characteristics in me. During the summer and holidays I always take time out of my schedule to go up to the Appalachian mountains of North Carolina. My grandfather and grandmother live in Jefferson, a very small town in the western corner of North Carolina. I love going to the mountains because it gives me the opportunity to spend time with my family, but also help others. During my stay at the mountains I visit the senior center, cook, and attend music. All of these things are unique and special to me. One of my favorite things to do while in the mountains is to visit the senior center. When I visit the senior center with my grandmother we always play the card game Samba with the other ladies there. Samba is a form of Canasta that requires a lot of risky moves. However, drawing a good hand is never a bad thing. I adore talking with the senior ladies because of the knowledge and history they have to share. The ladies always tell me stories about their high school experiences and college majors...

...Family Values As I walked into the house, I could almost taste the eggnog that would be waiting for me on the table. Eyeing the plate of cookies, I forced myself to follow my Gram up the stairs to the attic. The cookies could wait. I had come to help my Gram set up her miniature Christmas village. For Christmas each year I would give my Gram a new building, ice skater, or tree to add to her village. Her face would light up as she found the perfect place for the village’s newest addition. About two weeks before Christmas I would arrive at my Grams house to help her set up the village. I would watch in amazement as she placed each individual piece in the same exact place as she had the year before - slightly altering the village to welcome the newest addition. This was my favorite Christmas tradition when I was a child, and I looked forward to it every year. Although I live a distance away from my Gram, I visit frequently and wish I had more time to do so. She has always been completely engaged in my daily life, and it would seem strange to not see her on the first day of school each year, camera in hand, eager to take my picture. My Gram acts as a second mother to me, and I can always count on her for support. I have grown to trust her completely and she always seems to be the person who is there to help me. My Gram is the first person I go to for help and I can talk to her about virtually anything. Regardless of the subject of our conversations, she loves the fact...

...Harvey Industries has noticed a sizable decrease in their profits. The steady decline in profits combined with a three year loss in the past four years has caused financial difficulty for the livelihood of the company. There are several reasons that the company has come into trouble. Financial Distress and Recommendations Inventory seems to be a big problem within Harvey Industries. There are several people involved with the replenishment of inventory. Orders are currently being placed by the stockroom foreman, the purchasing manager, and the manufacturing manager. It would make more sense to have only one person in charge of ordering. Consider the idea that one person notices the inventory is low in one area. That person decides to place and order. Before the order arrives,...

...Due: 7-11-11 The serenity of Caribbean waters or the rich culture of European countries all take me to a place far from the monotonous day to day routine of life. The mere thought of getting away from it all immediately brings calmness to my spirit and a recharge to my battery. Travel carries a universal theme of being therapeutic and has often been noted as one of the best forms of medicine. Therapy is played out by the simple idea of being in a place outside the norm, taking time to rejuvenate with rest and relaxation and creating lasting memories to draw from for those times when travel is needed but not warranted. These are instances where getting away may not be conducive to a persons schedule or budget and memories then become priceless commodities that can be pulled out at any given time. There are millions of places to travel to nationwide and abroad. Tourists are constantly seeking new beaches, museums, national parks and places that allow them to see and visit sites outside of their normal cities. Frequent travelers often take trips seasonally, annually or at will if money is no issue. However, the average consumer may simply look for outlets to relieve stress and places that allow them to do so. Taking a vacation does not necessarily have to constitute flying clear across the country just to get away. Going to a place that you have never visited before could be medicinal therapy in and of itself if it allows a break in routine. Rest and relaxation are two...

...Effective communication in the work place is essential for a successful work place environment. I have been in numerous work places where the communication was poor and I have been in work place environments where the communication flowed and we were very successful in getting the job done. Understanding each other and what each other bring to the table, brings a level of respect amongst the employees in the work environment. There was one time when I was stationed in Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri my new job was going to be a instructor, teaching new soldiers the job of Combat Engineer. My part of that process was teaching them demolition training in which we teach them inert training and when they passed that, they were allowed to go outside to the demolition range and blow up C-4 and dynamite. Effective communication between myself and other instructors was paramount as we had to weed out soldiers that needed more training and wasn’t yet ready to use the real stuff. We had to continuously confer with each other every hour sometimes every thirty minutes to make sure that we were on the same page reference to the soldiers. Being that demolitions have no one’s name on it, we had to ensure from a safety standpoint to leave certain soldiers in the classroom to continue training on inert demolitions. To be absolutely effective in what we did as instructors, we placed a high commitment on communication as we had hand held walkie talkies on us and we were in contact on cell phones...

...Our heritage is a big part of what makes a country unique. Heritage enhances our quality of life and sense of place. It reflects the distinct expressions and aspirations of our country and its culture. Heritage is not just about the past. It is about the places, spaces and stories that we should value today and save and preserve them for tomorrow. Heritage places and heritage buildings are fundamental to our sense of history community and identity. Communities across Canada, the United States, and abroad have been capitalizing on their distinctive heritage assests by revitalizing their business cores and reclaiming them as the commercial and social hubs of the community. Besides economic value, heritage resources have intrinsic value in the information they contain about the past. They can teach us great deal. Who lived here? What happened here? Buildings, landscapes and archaeological sites can give us a unique insight into our past- knowledge that sometimes cannot be obtained any other way. Our heritage helps us make sense of our rapidly changing world and guides us into the future. Well-maintained historic buildings, streetscapes and landscapes contribute to safe and comfortable neighborhoods and foster local identity and pride. Old buildings embody energy and materials. Reusing older buildings saves the destruction of trees, saves the energy used to transport them to mills and create new construction materials, and saves more green space from development. Heritage conservation...

...Simran Suner Health and Social Care: Homework 2 During a trip to the Wolverhampton Mander Centre, I came across a number of potential hazards, which could potentially cause harm within this setting. The Mander Centre is a place where many service users can go to enjoy themselves, to shop in the many stores or to go eat in the fine restaurants – the town is place to hundreds of visitors per day, using the faculties available, constantly. This is why I was surprised to see a large number of hazards which could easily harm the service users in this area. One of the first hazards I came across was a bag full of sand, which was supposed to be keeping in place protection barriers, however the heavy bag had been left in the middle of the pavement. I believe this to be a major risk, a service user could easily trip and fall over this bag, which could result in major injuries. To prevent such a thing from happening, I would simply inform a nearby builder or a police officer (who are always round town) about the situation and thus allowing it to be placed correctly. I would not attempt to do this myself, as I do not know why this was placed or where this should be placed and attempting to pick up such a heavy bag, could lead to me resulting in a back injury ; if the item is not lifted and placed properly. The second safety hazard I came across was a large box of waste pilled in front of a closed up shop. This box was over pilling and cans and cups were fallen across the floor. I believe...

...activist, and lecturer. She was the first deaf blind person to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree she was blind. You might be wondering why I have decided to talk to you about this quote, but instead of me just telling you, I will take you to a journey that might place you in my position. Let me ask you this, with a raise of hands how many of you would like to live in a house like this? Well, it is a common goal in today’s fast-paced society to achieve monetary wellness in order to live what some people call “the good life”. In this house you have the latest technology and a crew of people that are more than willing to take care of all of your needs. Now, picture yourself in this house. It certainly does not compare, right? So what is my point? Why am I showing these pictures? Well what you do not know is that in the second picture lives an aged couple who had been married for over 20 years. They had lived together the toughest years of their lives in that simple house. They had seen their daughter grow, they saw how she would fail, but they also had the opportunity to see her achieve all of her goals. Now if you show this picture to her now grown and mature daughter, she would not see just a house, she would see her home. The place that had been her shelter and though it was not a mansion, it had people inside of it that gave her the tools needed to succeed. She had love, she had companionship, she had support. Which leads me to the initial quote: “The best and most beautiful things...

...far side of the supermarket with lots of lovely presents neatly placed underneath. Sleek, automatic, glass doors slid smoothly open, only to divulge a catastrophe of noise. Children wailed tills beeped, sound systems boomed. In comparison, the rumbling cars and chattering birds of the outside world were nothing. Inside the supermarket the scent of bread and fruit filled the air. All the while customers pushed and shoved as they tried to squeeze past one another trying to gain access to the many bargains and free bread being given out. The supermarket was as busy as a hive full of bees rushing to make honeycomb for their queen. Shelves that had been neatly stacked just a few hours ago were now all over the place. Fruit was squashed, milk was spilt. Clothes were out of place, jewellery was on the floor – miss-matched, shoes were with wrong pairs and hangers were chucked here and there. Elsewhere, employees scurried around about like squirrels readying themselves for winter – customers every need were tended to with a standard impassive, teeth bearing smile. Deep within the supermarket, a small child dragged his feet along the polished marble floor as he was pulled along; shiny, smart trainers screeched piercingly against the flooring. The boy whined noisily. Prying head snapped to the source of the noise, either sighing or smile knowingly. Unruly ebony black hair exploded from the boy’s head like a jungle. Illuminating a sharp nose and bright sky blue...

...Starbucks and energy drinks to get us through the day. We fool ourselves into thinking we are healthy just because we ate something “low-fat’. When we look in the mirror, we “really haven’t gained that much weight”. Our society teaches us ways to make excuses. “I haven’t had my coffee yet.” “There was traffic.” “My kids got up late.” “The dog ate my homework.” It’s always someone else’s fault; the responsibility is never on the individual. We lie to ourselves and others to make our lives seem so ey need to be and only growing… right along with our waistlines. We place restrictions on alcohol and marijuana, but not on fat content. If we took a moment to really evaluate the reasons we are so fat, then maybe we wouldn’t hold the title of fattest country. It really isn’t a noble honor. There are so many statistics and studies that have been done on this subject, but we’re not doing anything with it. Sure, there are places trying to lighten their menus, but people don’t know how to make the right food choices. They don’t really teach that in school. So much emphasis is placed on being beautiful and successful, yet we have no motivation to get off our asses and do something. We have this “mightier than thou” attitudemay be president, but it’s the men underneath him calling the shots. So here is your freedom, here...

...everything was placed. In an unorganized environment I found my productivity to be very low because I spent most of my time finding the right document instead of working on it. It is very important that I know my career can grow with the company. If I work at places that limit my ability to grow, it lowers my motivation. On the other hand, if the work environment allows me to expand with the company, I would spend more time and try harder to work my best. The last and most important is management of the work environment. Working in a company with poor management would be a disaster. I have had a manager that changed his mind all the time. One day he set up all the rules, and the other day he broke all of them. It is very hard to work with a manager that doesn’t commit to his/her management. Poor management can lead to a lot of issues in work environment. I have never worked at a place that has all of the characteristics above. It would be my ideal work environment if the company is well organized, has the ability to expand my career, and has good management. My current job as an intern in a CPA office gives me the ability to expand my career and has good management. However, due to the heavy work load the work place is not as organized as my ideal environment...
