...The Piercer Step 1: Identify the issue(s) that management (or the people involved in the case) must address. -Two students must present their business idea to a panel of potential investors. -More specifically, the students must present an innovative idea and business model, identify potential markets and explain why their product would be successful in these markets, and they must sell themselves as entrepreneurs. Step 2: Perform the appropriate analysis and evaluation. -To get a good mark on this assignment, Ashley and Jessica must critically evaluate secondary research. To do this they must (1) evaluate resources, (2) develop effective search strategies, and (3) identify proprietary resources. -To do well on their assignment, the students must do the following: 1. They need to be critical of all the resources and information they use. In particular, they need to minimize their use of the Web, and instead use databases available through their university to gather information. For example, they could access the Wall-Street Journal available online through most universities to show a need for their product (people feeling increasingly unsafe, rising crime against older people, aging population, etc.). They could also use ProQuest ABI Inform Global to find relevant academic and practitioner business articles. 2. They must cite all sources properly. If they don’t, they might accidentally commit plagiarism, and at minimum, fail this assignment. 3. Make good...

...infection which causes permanent deformities, severe illness, scarring, or even death (Emanuel, 2013). Tattoos cause scarring, severe illness, and even death because of the dyes, needles that cause open wounds, and sometimes major blood loss. Most of the dyes have metals in them, so they mess with the magnetic fields during an MRI scan which results in swelling and burning in the affected areas. In tongue piercings, people lose sensation and movement in their tongue, which would result in tooth breakage if they have studs or rings. Keloids, which are enlarged scars that project above the surface of the skin, are caused by getting piercings (Asaff, n.d.). Giving a tongue piercing involves a piercer to stick a needle through someone’s tongue without any anesthetic, while giving this piercing the piercer has a risk of hitting some nerves and then people will lose sensation and movement in their tongue. Tattoos and piercings both lead to dangerous health issues, but some people want their tattoos removed when they get older, which is very expensive. When people get older, they start to lose interest in the tattoo that they got when they were younger so they want it removed, but tattoo removal is very expensive. The most common way of tattoo removal is laser removal which costs from $200 to $500 per session (How much does, n.d.). The level of technology has become more advanced so the price for laser removal is beyond expensive, but since laser removal takes from five to twenty sessions...

...New Zealand [pic] [pic] • Geography New Zealand is a remote, mountainous group of islands in the southeastern Pacific Ocean. The two main islands, North and South Islands, are separated by the Cook Strait. Australia, its nearest neighbor, is 1,000 miles (1,600 km) away. • The islands were created just 23 million years ago when land was thrust out of the ocean by volcanic forces. New Zealand has more than 50 volcanoes, some of which are still active today. Sharp snowy peaks, rocky shores, and pastures create a majestic landscape. • The South Island is home to the highest mountain peak in New Zealand, Mount Cook, which rises to 12,316 feet (3,754 meters) and is called "Cloud Piercer" by the Maori people. • Nature Because of its remote location, New Zealand is rich in unusual wildlife not seen anywhere else in the world. Nearly all the land animals are birds and many of these species have lost the ability to fly. The Maori people and European settlers introduced animals to the islands and the flightless birds had no defense against them. • In the last 1,000 years, half of all animals on the islands have become extinct. Deforestation and draining of swamp land is also threatening many remaining species, including the kiwi bird. Fewer than 75,000 wild kiwis remain. Several species are recovering, including the kakapo, kokako, kiwi, and tuatara. • Bats are the only land mammals to have made the ocean crossing. Birds and insects, such...

...My Wake Up Call In the early summer of 2006, I was committed to the man I fell in love with. I was falling in love more and more everyday with him. My endless smiling seemed to brighten my days. The biggest day of my life was approaching. I was getting married to the man I planned to spend the rest of my life with. My children and I felt security in every way imaginable, and we never had to go without anything. My fiancé owned Late Night Creations Tattoo Shop in Mishawaka. I worked for him, I was a tattoo artist as well as a body piercer. I was making $80,000.00 a year. I never imagined how my life as I knew it was going to quickly change. The fact that I had yet to even finish high school to embrace my independance along with my security for my future, was so far tucked away in my mind. Such as, I relied exclusively on his acceptance and love I simply forgot my commitment to myself to create my own path though this mazed puzzle of life. On July 1, 2006, there I was preparing myself to walk down the aisle. My dress was perfect. My hair was gorgeous. My makeup was flawless. Two hundred and fifty guests all present on that day to watch my fairy tale become reality. Everyone was there to fill their role, with the exception of one main character, my fiancé. I never made it down the aisle that day nevertheless I had no reason to. The man I was completely in love with was not at the other end waiting for me. It quickly sank in that I had been left at the altar. I do not...

Tell them you're going to go to another dealership (preferably the same size or bigger) and see if you can get a better offer. The next price you get will likely be unbeatable. Follow through anyway just to be safe. With used cars, you will want to find two nearly identical cars at different dealerships.

...CATAPULTS: HISTORY Catapults 1 The US Navy is now moving to use Electro-Magnetic Catapult System (EMCS) on their aircraft carriers. The EMCS is replacing the Steam Compulsion System (SCS) that aircraft carriers have used for over 9 decades. These catapult siege engines are a dying breed, but let us find out the history of the catapult. Where did the word catapult come from? A catapult comes from two Greek words “kata” and “pultos”. “Kata” means downward and “pultos” refers to a small circular shield which was carried in battle (Catapults, nd). This formed the word katapultos and its meaning is “shield piercer”. What is a catapult? A catapult is an engine that can store energy and then can quickly release this energy to fire a projectile (A brief history of the Catapult, nd). In order for a catapult to be an effective weapon, it must be too big for a person to carry and would require more than one person to operate. As with many inventions, the catapult was developed from the idea of the Crossbow. The crossbow was invented as a handheld weapon and as the crossbow became more superior, it went from a belly-bow to a stand crossbow. The crossbows eventually became so large that they became something in their own right, the Catapult. The Chinese are believed to be the first to use a catapult sometime during the third and fourth Century BC. The type of catapult the Chinese used was an eight foot catapult that was much like a big crossbow. Even though this...

...What is ”Corporate Image” and “Corporate Identity” – and why do people talk so much about it? Dominique Bouchet Professor, Department of Marketing University of Southern Denmark, Campusvej 55, DK-5230 Odense M, Denmark www.bouchet.dk – dom@sam.sdu.dk – Fax: + (45) 65 33 19 13 Image, identity and culture are concepts occupying the minds of companies and organizations of our time, because things must be connected in a world where every institution’s or person’s role and place are renegotiated almost everyday. Companies’ increasing concern about their image, identity and culture must be seen in relation to a number of changes that influence their roles and opportunities. Today, the information we receive is no longer scarce; actually the amount of information is drowning us. This abundance has created much confusion. Demand and supply for information are disoriented and, thus, become increasingly dependent on the guidelines and criteria for sorting information in order to reduce confusion. Orientation is less and less a matter of gathering information and more and more a matter of sorting and connecting. The company’s consumers, stakeholders and employees are all influenced by this development. Further, more and more people are now concerned about things other than material goods. For example, what we eat and how we should handle waste have become central issues for consumers and employees. The ecological concern and political consumption make the...
