...Le Saint Augustine de Hippo, ne en l’an 354 jusqu’à l’an 430, était un important auteur durant les années de l’air latine de l’Ouest. Il est jusqu’à aujourd’hui considéré comme l’uns des écrivains les plus importants dans l’histoire du christianisme. Parmies toutes ses oeuvres, les trois plus classiques furent ‘’ the Confession, ‘’On the Trinity’’, ainsi que ‘’The City Of God’’. Augustine est décrit comme étant ne d’une mère chrétienne nomme, Saint Monica. Par contre, il ne reconnaitra cette religion qu’en l’an 386, après être passé par plusieurs différentes idéologies. Tout d’abord, il n’est pas intéressé par la religion chrétienne car il ne veut pas mener sa vie sous divers règles. Durant ses années adolescentes, il fut intéressé par les écrits de Cicero qui lui a amené de l’intérêt face a la philosophie. En lisant les oeuvres de Cicero, cela lui a amené a une sorte de secte, nomme Manichéisme. Les manichees ont la certitude que les origines du mal sont dues par les constantes guerres qui prennent face entre les forces de la lumière, ainsi que du ‘’darkness’’. Depuis que l’âme humaine est considéré comme étant un petit ‘cosmos’, la guerre éternelle est alors reflétée dans l’âme humaine. Augustine fut un Manichee pour 10 ans et fut enseignant dans la ville de Rome et Carthage. Apres 10 ans, il ne fut pas satisfait de cette secte qui se base aussi sur l’astrologie, et qui n’accepte pas l’existence du ‘’free will’’. Cela a cause Augustine a rejeté cette secte et a cherche...

...[pic] TRADER JOE’S Description: Trader Joe’s has become a multi-billion dollar national chain partly through its ability to find cheap real estate, skip name brands and smartly manage its supply chain. It’s also due to its workforce management practices. Below, excerpts from a book Trader Joe’s Adventure, review the company’s management compensation, encouragement of multitasking, screening and wages, careful use of money, fun culture, sense that its people are its brand, and communication style. Learning Objective: Our focus with this case is on immersing students in the fundamentals of organizational culture. Organizational culture is defined as a complex set of shared beliefs, guiding values, behavioral norms, and basic assumptions acquired over time that shape our thinking and behavior; they are part of the social fabric of the organization—its genetic code. As such, culture drives the organization and guides the behavior of everyone in that organization—how they think, feel, and act. In other words, the culture forms a behavior template. Davis and Landa succinctly captured the essence of culture when they say, The factors which define culture are in part internal, deriving from the unique character of the organization and, in part external, determined by the background and experiences managers and employees bring to the enterprise. Culture is a major determinant of productivity; it shapes organizational responses to external pressures; and suppresses or enhances...

...Assessment ONE. Individual Case Study Report (40%) MKT 3130 Coursework Aldi and Lidl: International Expansion of Two German Grocery Discounters Source: Ghauri, P. & Cateora, P. 2010, page 566-571 With a worldwide annual sales volume of €3.7 trillion in 2007 and an average annual sales growth of 2.7 percent during the past ten years, the grocery retailing industry can be considered as one of the world’s key economic sectors. Over the past decades, grocery discounters such as Aldi and Lidl have strengthened their position in the grocery retailing industry – especially in Germany and Europe. With their no-frills approach, they have led to significant changes in the industry and have challenged many companies which operate other store formats,’ such as supermarkets or hypermarkets. In this context, a Financial Times report on international retailing noted in 1995: ‘The spread of the discount format has been particularly disruptive to Europe’s grocery retail industry and has driven retailers to examine cross-border markets’. The Grocery Discount Format The key terms describing a grocery discounter are ‘minimalism’ and ‘efficiency’, which are integrated into all business areas. In fact, grocery discounters’ ambitions are to sell quality products at the lowest price possible. To realise profits in spite of the low prices, grocery discounters reduce their costs to a minimum and attempt to generate high volumes of sales through a limited product range of fastmoving items...

...History and Background Started in 1967 by Joe Coulombe, Trader Joe’s began as a convenience store but quickly migrated to a more novel design for adventurous food and beverage shoppers. Initially, Trader Joe’s was comprised of 17 stores in the southern California area. By the early 1980s additional food products were introduced as the number of stores grew to 26. In 1988 they expanded to northern California. The combination of innovative products along with a service-oriented culture has created a loyal customer base that continues to grow nationally. Today, TJ has over 270 stores in 22 states with revenues exceeding $5 billion. Coulombe sold the business in 1978 to the Albrecht family, owners of a multi-billion dollar retail chain in the EU. However, the company remains private. The Albrechts are passive investors—operating control was left in Joe’s hands who continued as CEO until he retired in 1988. John Shields, whose background includes retail and merchandising, and who provided the operational know-how to expand the business, became CEO, a position he held until 2001. Dan Bane is the current CEO. Trader Joe’s offers an array of products that are distinct from those sold in traditional supermarkets. They do not carry national brands, but rather a host of food and beverage products along with a number of healthcare selections. Products include cheese, wine, ready-to-prepare foods, frozen items, produce, and ethnic choices, of which 75 percent carry the Trader Joe’s label...

...Theo Paphitis I have chosen Theo Paphitis as my effective business man because he is a very successful businessman. He is famous for making deals with businesses offering them money and support for a portion of their companies, this is shown by the TV program dragons den.

...Trader Joe’s is a growing chain of grocery stores with a difference. Whilst not a monstrous chain store, Trader Joe’s emphasises small stores which sell a selection of goods hard to find elsewhere at lower prices. The fact that quality goods come at such low prices is just one reason why the Trader Joe’s company has become so successful. From humble beginnings, the company has now grown into a multi-billion dollar giant. This may seem strange when the small and far less numerous stores of Trader Joe’s are compared to the number and size of stores associated with other grocery store giants. Even so, Trader Joe’s can now boast of two hundred and forty branches across nineteen states. Not bad for a company which started out as a number of convenience stores in Los Angeles in 1958. When competition from 7-Eleven stores threatened, the owner of the stores, which were then called Pronto Markets, decided to expand his business by starting to sell gourmet food at reduced prices. As such, the idea of high quality goods at low prices was started along with the new name, Trader Joe’s, in 1967, named after the owner, Joe Coulombe. A big part of the stores’ success immediately came from the fact that the majority of the produce sold is sold under the company’s private label. As such, Mr Coulombe immediately created a trusted product, which, as it was also cheap, drew in the customers, creating a loyal clientele. As the number of items on sale is accordingly low compared to huge...

...Case Study: Trader Joe’s In 1958, Trader Joe’s first began as a small convenience store named Pronto Markets. Trader Joe’s didn’t receive their Trader Joe’s name until 1967 when they opened up a store in Pasadena. Mr. Coulombe had transferred his stores into an oasis of value and started putting innovative, hard-to-find foods in the Trader Joe’s name. By doing this Trader Joe’s was able to cut costs and save you money. In 1979, Mr. Coulombe sold the Trader Joe’s chain to the Albrecht’s, own about 9,000 Aldi markets in the United States, Europe, and Australia. “Value” is a concept that both Mr. Coulombe and the Albrecht’s take very seriously. Value not only means providing great prices on great products—no sales, no gimmicks, no special shopping clubs to join, no reward cards required for sales, but also by buying directly from suppliers whenever they can by rotating the “not-so-popular” products from the shelves to make room for something different. At Trader Joe’s their philosophy is great food plus great prices equals’ value. To help contribute to that philosophy, Trader Joe’s believes in promoting from with-in. Trader Joe’s believes that it nurtures its employees with a promote-from-within philosophy, and its employees earn more than their counterparts at other chain grocers. Outlet managers are highly compensated, partly because they know the Trader Joe’s system inside and out because managers are hired only from within the company. Future leaders are enrolled...

...Van Doesburg was one of the principal artists of the Stijl Movement. The colors of the chair were one of the principal characteristics of the style. “The chair is composed out of a dramatic interplay of straight lines, where each element still maintains its own identity. Lines produce forms by enclosing space” (designhistory). The color scheme used is blue, black, red, and yellow. This colors created a dynamic balance and contrast. There is radical simplification by the use of straight lines and angles. This chair was created for reflection and to demonstrate that it is conceivable to create beautiful objects out of simple machine parts. (designhistory) It has a lot of similarity to the cubism movement but its ideology was different and their...

...Individual Project 2 English 206 Laquita Easter 5/8/11 The Cosby Show was a great show for African Americans in the early 80’s. I love one particular character from the show it was “Clif Huxtable” played by comedian Bill Cosby. The show most people thought it was not “real” enough. The reason most people will think this is because of “Cosby” family life on the show. Cliff and his wife Claire Huxtable were very successful, educated people. Cliff was a doctor and his wife was a successful lawyer. The two raised 5 children who needed much guidance and advice as any children would. The show was very interesting and funny but was the joke on how the whole series was played out? I don’t believe so, that made me adore and look up to Cliff Huxtable. He was fair, down to earth, and made his fatherly love & support for his children to broaden and make them choose for themselves. Bill Cosby character was the father of all fathers; he supported his wife and watch football on Sunday nights. He was still the all American dad, in one if my favorite episodes, it was when Theo wanted to stay out later. Theo: Dad, will it be too much to ask if U stay 30 minutes after curfew? Cliff: Well, Theo if I let you stay 30 minutes after your curfew, then you may ask for an increase in your allowance, and then you’ll want to borrow the car. Theo: Okay Dad, would a “no Theo” be too much to ask? I loved that episode and even use some of Cliff’s parenting when dealing with my own children situation...

...LIBERTY UNIVERSITY RESEARCH PAPER SUBMITTED TO PROFESSOR RUSH THEO 330 – B02 CHRIS PORTER 29 Jun 2014 The abuse of alcohol is a problem in our society; a social disorder that causes physical and emotional injuries to people and family life. Alcohol is the oldest drug around. It is also the most widely-used and almost 50 percent of people aged 12 and over have consumed alcohol in the United States. Most people are able to consume alcohol responsibly. However, for one reason or another, some people abuse alcohol and develop addictions. Alcohol can destroy persons who depend on its effects to solve their problems. Not only does the use of alcohol create serious health disorders for those who drink heavily during their lifetime, but also causes serious health disorders in children whose mothers drank while pregnant. Individuals who drink alcohol are often responsible for injuring other innocent people. Each year in the United States, nearly 85,000 people die from alcohol-related causes, making it the third leading preventable cause of death in our country. (NIAAA) Many automobile accidents involve drunk drivers. People who drink endanger themselves and everyone around them. In addition, business and industry suffer financial loss because their employees drink. What might begin as casual drinking can become heavy drinking and alcoholism. Because the abuse of alcohol has a negative effect on men, women, and children, that same abuse on alcohol is a threat in...

It appears as though many have heard about the rapture and the second coming of Christ, but not too many individuals understand the full theology behind both events. Many Christians and scholars have discussed the second coming of Christ, however, many have not given this topic the close attention that it deserves. Many Christians believe that they have an understanding of the rapture, but few can describe the view they hold on the rapture, when it will occur, and what the period of Tribulation means. This is often because Christians tend to shy away from a full understanding of the end-times and the second coming of Christ. There are many varying views on the rapture, and the occurrence of the rapture and what that means for believers and non-believers...
