...Sweats Galore Horace Bailey April 24, 2012 To: Michael Woods From: Horace Bailey Date: 04/24/2012 Subject: Sweats Galore 1. Hello Mr. Woods. I would like to start off by congratulating you on your new business venture. I have gone over your business goal and I believe that you did an excellent job stating your desires to incorporate the four criteria into your new business. I can tell that you put a great deal of thought into this project from your information and knowledge about the area. You took great initiative traveling to Shirts and More to talk with Jayne Stoll. This shows me you are interested in achieving success and providing a quality product to Campus Town. Also, I am able to grasp your enthusiasm about undertaking such an endeavor as well as the genuine want to provide custom print sweatshirts to the town in which you graduated college. Mixing this with the ever changing economy and socioeconomic trends of our day, I personally believe your business is poised to be successful in the future as more students attend college yearly and word gets out about your product. My only concern came with your wanting to generate a net income of $25,000 annually. While there is nothing wrong with wanting to profit, I believe I could lend you a few suggestions to potentially allow you to achieve our goal earlier. To be more specific, your first three criteria are more along the lines of a mission statement. Your only true objective is criteria four. You do not truly...

...Question 1 It's always important to set goals to measure the success of any business. However, the first three goals are more of a mission statement while the fourth is an objective for the company. The problem is there no plan and one objective. What is he going to do if the company doesn't net the $25,000? Or what if it nets the $25,000 but there is not enough cash to sustain the business? There needs to be more objectives to make allowances for these types of situations. There needs to be a plan of action where goals change from period to period. Otherwise, the business cannot succeed.

...Sweats Galore Question one Yes, it is crucial that Michael stipulate the four criteria when planning for his new business. In stipulating the four the criteria Michael will be able to have a better understanding of how his business will work and why he it is he wants to start his business in the first place. Having the goals made up helps maintain the goals as well as a better management for the business since one knows the direction they want to take it to. Michael started his business because he wants to do something that he enjoys and has previous experience in doing, which only means that he will be better prepared to handle the responsibilities of managing his own business. Michael's willingness to give back to the community will do nothing but benefit him considering that most of his customers are going to be within the community. Michael has a clear idea of what direction he wants to take his new business. He wants to see his business grow and become more successful by the years. This idea of making his business grow will encourage him to make decisions that will benefit his business in both the short and long run. Setting up a goal of an income of 25,000 annually is a good idea. The problem is that there is no plan if the minimum income is not met. There should be a plan of action where the can goals be flexible to change so that the business has a better chance of...

...1. Do you think it was important for Michael to stipulate his four criteria for the business, including the goal of generating a net income of at least $25,000 annually? Why or why not? Answer: Yes, it is important for Michael to stipulate the four criteria during planning for his new business. Michael is wise to set criteria other than simply making a profit. The first three goals are more of a mission statement while the fourth is an objective for the company. However, the reasons why Michael stipulating the four criteria for the business is important are as follows. First, Michael wants to do something he enjoys. Because he has prior experience in a related industry and he has envisioned having his own business he will be better prepared to handle the responsibilities of this new business. Second, Michael wants a business that would give back to the community. Michaels positive attitude will be reflected in the way he handles employees and customers. Michaels business will probably come from customers such as university groups, church groups, civic organizations, youth athletic clubs, and secondary school groups. Because Michael is offering quality shirts at a modest price, he will, in effect, be contributing to the community. Third, Michael wants a business that would grow and be more successful every year. This foresight (wanting to grow and be more successful every year) will encourage him to make decisions that will profit the business not just in the short run, but also...

...The compound responsible for the smell in human sweat is trans-3-methyl-2-hexenoic acid and its chemical formula is C7H12O2. According to the article, perfumes and deodorants are alike in that the goal in using them is to eliminate (or at least hide) body odor. They are different in that perfumes merely cover up the odor, while deodorants actually kill the bacteria responsible for the odor. The article mentions that baking soda and formaldehyde were used originally in deodorants. The common property that baking soda and formaldehyde have is that they both kill bacteria. Studies have shown that formaldehyde is toxic and can cause cancer. Zinc oxide does not kill bacteria by itself, “…but, similar to baking soda, it neutralizes the fatty acid microbial waste products responsible for body odor. Deodorants kill the bacteria that cause body odor, while antiperspirants block the pores through which sweat passes, thus preventing sweating and maintaining a dry environment in which bacteria cannot thrive. Most antiperspirants contain aluminum-based compounds. Aluminum compounds form aluminum ions (Al3+) in solution. These ions plug your sweat ducts so that you don’t perspire. The two types of sweat glands in underarms are eccrine glands and apocrine glands. Most of the actual active ingredients of deodorants are solids, so they must be dissolved or suspended in liquids or gels to allow them to be applied easily. The solvents must evaporate easily so that they don’t leave a wet...

...Inipi, the Lakota Sweat Lodge Ceremony Shawn Peverill ANT351: Anthropology of Religion, Magic and Ritual Instructor: Katie Bojakowski July 23, 2014 Inipi, the Lakota Sweat Lodge Ceremony In this paper, I will be conducting research at a fellow Spiritual Leaders ceremony his name is Ed Fox, He has a sweat lodge built on his property in which I will be participating in. The Lakota sweat lodge ritual, or Inipi, is a familiar aspect of Lakota religion, incorporated and appropriated from reservations to urban areas, from traditional native ceremonies to New Age religion (Pickering, K.1999). I have spoken to him and gained his permission to describe the events of this ceremony. First the fire is to be built around the stones to be used, each of the first seven stones are blessed with tobacco along with a prayer conducted by the chosen individual to build the ceremonial fire. The ceremony itself consists for four rounds. In this ceremony, I will ask him why he has chosen this path and accepted the responsibility of the people’s lives that come to his ceremony. Also, if he feels that the creator speaks through him, or if he feels he is just a messenger for the creator. In this ceremony I will be interviewing the men of the ceremony since this will be a “Men’s Lodge”, there is also a woman’s lodge going at the same time but men are forbidden to attend because it is said that woman have more power than men since they have the power to give...

...January 2, 1999, is the fateful day that will forever haunt Mikelle Biggs’s sister, Kimber Biggs. Kimber and Mikelle Biggs were regular girls until that terrible day, when 11- year old Mikelle’s picture landed in the news due to her mysterious disappearance. First of all, Mikelle and Kimber Biggs went outside late that afternoon to buy ice cream when they heard an ice cream truck. After minutes of waiting, Kimber Biggs went back inside, complaining that it was cold. Kimber’s mother told her to ask Mikelle to come in as it was getting dark. Kimber went back outside and yelled for Mikelle, but received no response. Mikelle wasn’t there , only a bike strewn on the street was left. Quickly, it became clear that Mikelle had probably been abducted....

...Going to School Online By: Corina Jess I have been going to Devry Online for almost a year now. Choosing to go with Devry is one of the smartest decisions I have made. I chose Devry for several reasons, there attendance policy, the freedom it gives me, the price to go, and the being able to go at my own pace. Devry’s attendance policy is great. It is very easy to follow and fits into my crazy schedule. The attendance policy is simply show up in class at a minimum of three times a week, with the first time being before midnight mountain standard time on Wednesday. All assignments are due every week by Sunday at midnight MST, unless the professor give you a different date. Students are allowed to turn in late work if the professor accepts it, but the assignment will get a percentage penalty for it being late. What I also like about Devry Online is the freedom with the class schedule. There is no set time that a student must be logged into class. If I wanted to go to school at 2:00A.M, I could. The classes fit around my schedule. I have a very crazy life with work, school, kids, and my husband, so having the freedom to go to class whenever I wish is one less thing I have to worry about. The price to go to Devry Online is much cheaper than if I chose to go to a campus school. With Devry Online, I do not have to pay for a dorm room, extra books, meals, and gas to get back and forth to school. I enjoy not having to worry about how I am going to pay for my books or...

He did not simply speak it into being as He did the beast of the field and the fowls of the air. He carefully put it together step by step. God put man to sleep and from his side took a rib and formed the woman. Not stopping there, God took the woman by the hand and led her to Adam. Therefore marriage is a unique relationship, having its root in divinity (Gen. 2:22). However, marriage and family life, a thing of joy, pleasure, and high esteem at creation is now treated by many as a necessary evil and looked at by some disdainfully. "Those in it want to rush out and those outside want to rush in," they say. This has resulted in the fast disintegration of the marriage unit and subsequently the family. Statistics indicate that the decline of marriage and the family...
