...Alyssa Pimentel English 1301-232 Ms. Bullard October 20th 2013 Journal 2 – Tip Jar There are many dollars out there but none of them have the same serial number as me, That is why I am unique. Luckily I am not very old, only a couple years old. I have had plenty of homes in my short lifetime. I have almost been caught in a fire, I almost even drowned once. But the day I was finally taken out of the tip jar was the greatest adventure I have ever had. December 30th 1999, I was taken out of an old rusty can tip jar. As I was being stuffed into an envelope I screamed in excitement! “I’ll never have to smell this old bar again.” After being stuffed into the envelope I was thrown into a box, which was eventually tossed into the back of a plane. I thought, “This is going to be a great journey!” The air was hot and musty in the cargo I was flying in. I wished there were other dollars like me to talk to, but all there was were old hundred dollars bills and a couple of checks. The old hundred dollar bill seemed way to high class, hence he didn’t speak to me once, and dollar bills never dare speak to checks. So there I was, all alone in long, hot, boring plan ride. The sun was blazing when a ten year old took me out of his envelope. I lasted about twenty minutes in the hands of this child before I got completely drenched in ice cream. I was handed to an old man immediately after suffocating in ice cream. I was placed into a very old register, it smelt quite...

...+ 0.35 - 0.20 = 0.7 For any two event X and Y with P(Y) ≠ 0, the condition of probability of X given Y is as follows: P( X ∩ Y ) = P(Y | X) x P(X) = 0.40 x 0.75 = 0.3 a. P(A1) = 3/10 = 0.3 The probability of P(A1) is 0.3/10 b. P(B1/A2) = 2/6 / 1/3 = 0.33/0.33 = 1 The probability of P(b1/A2) is 1/10 c. P(B0/A0) = 0/0 = 0 The probability of P(b0 and A0) is zero 44. Berdine’s Chicken Factory has several stores in the Hilton Head, South Carolina, area. When interviewing applicants for server positions, the owner would like to include information on the amount of tip a server can expect to earn per check (or bill). A study of 500 recent checks indicated the server earned the following amounts in tips per 8-hour shift. Amount of Tip Number $0 up to $ 20 200 20 up to 50 100 50 up to 100 75 100 up to 200 75 200 or more 50 Total 500 a. What is the probability of a tip of $200 or more? .10 or 10% b. Are the categories “$0 up to $20,” “$20 up to $50,” and so on considered mutually exclusive? They are mutually exclusive because the 0-20 does no effect on the 20-50 group. One group has no causal...

...Tho Pham ESL 51 First Draft Tip or Not? It is a beautiful Sunday night; your family chooses a famous Italian restaurant in the area to have dinner. As you are very pleased with the service, you decide to write down 20% of the bill to give to the waitress as tips. This happens every day around the country. Although there are some dissidents of this long-standing tipping custom whose reason is tipping provokes conflict between servers, tipping should continue because it gives servers an incentive to work hard. In America’s restaurants, the custom is giving a 15% tip (To Insure Promptitude) to the servers. Every year 42 billion dollars of tips were granted to American servers, whose income greatly depends on tips. Recently a manager of a famed California restaurant, Jay Porter, decided to prohibit tipping. The price then included the tip, which is 18%, 15% of which belonged to the servers and the rest went to the kitchen staff. Research reveals that 80% of American diners favor tipping as they think tips incentivize servers to do good service and they feel guilty being served. From 10% in the early 20th century, the tipping rate has increased to18.9% today. While most of Mr. Porter’s customers accept the new policy, very few diners were still obliged to tip and that money went to the charity. Nonetheless, Porter’s restaurant is the only pioneer in the area and it will not likely draw many followers. Some opponents of tipping say that tipping does not create incentive but...

...bambooimport.com A short film commissioned by INBAR for the World Expo in Shanghai, profiling bamboo - and its many innovative uses as a strong, lightweight, sustainable, carbon capturing material, including surfboards, bikes and building materials. The challenges we face today is to further improve and innovate the uses of bamboo. Since bamboo is the fastest growing plant on earth and a sustainable building material, it could easily substitute all known wood applications without having to cut down entire bamboo groves or plantations. Better yet, bamboo continuously grows after harvest without having to re-plant it. Bamboo also converts about 35% more CO2 into oxygen than a regular tree. The bamboo products we see on the market today, are just the tip of the iceberg, we predict that more and more innovative bamboo applications will enter the consumer markets rapidly. Therefore it is an exciting era to live in if you are also a firm believer of how bamboo can contribute to a greener and cleaner environment. We can't change our consumption based economy, but we can certainly change the resources we use and the way we manufacture our products! Below is a list of common uses for bamboo. Please note that not all bamboo species are suited for every single application. Some species are edible while most are not, some can be used as structural timber while other only...

...I believe that being a Resident Assistant is far more than just a job that requires monitoring a floor or even unlocking doors, those things are only the tip of the iceberg. To be a Resident Assistant means to be a role model, an advisor, a therapist, a problem solver, and a great deal of other responsibilities are expected of such a person. Even though this is my first semester at Governors State University and I am considered a new student here, I am not new to college. My first experience with learning what a Resident Assistant was, was when I attended SIU in Edwardsville, during my freshman year of college. My RA that year was very personable and down to earth. She made certain hours throughout the day available in her room, if a student needed to ask questions, share comments, or even make suggestions. She also hosted different miniature gatherings on the floor, so we could get to know our fellow peers. Those encounters with my RA at the time, inspired me to want to be in a position where I could contribute to or even create that same environment for other students. When I saw the opportunity posted to become a Resident Assistant at GSU, I was eager to apply. I feel that my personal experiences and challenges I have faced during my years of college and the way I have recovered from those experiences, shows adversity, goal-orientation, and determination. I am willing to shed light on those experiences and help other incoming students who may struggle with getting acclimated...

...Simon sometimes tastes or senses the medication in his food and spits them out, but sometimes the medication goes undetected. He always wonders why he feels tired most of the time without doing any activities that may cause such feelings. Covert medication is described by Kala (2012, p. 1) as, ‘the practice of hiding medication in food or beverages so that it goes undetected by the person receiving the medication.’ Latha (2010) states that covert medication is one of the greatest challenges for healthcare professionals. The report goes on to state that healthcare professionals often covertly medicate service users because they refuse to take their prescribed medication when offered. In addition, the Royal College of Psychiatrists (2011) reported...

...Bojangles, it’s a new restaurant in the neighborhood, which on the recommendation of a friend are planning to go dine a group of friends and me. I have great interest in this restaurant because after reading an article in the Daily Disappointment I was fascinated. After analyzing all options menu, the choices of drinks, desserts options and options for the tip. I concluded that I have a wide variety of options for choosing many of which are very similar in cost. Background Because we do not know the total amount of budget you have to spend that night, but what if I am sure it is a night where the costs are not so high. What I have done is a graph which is detailed each of the options for dinner that night; I have detailed each option for each meal, for each drink, for each dessert and for each tip. I need to figure out your costs depending on the decisions that I make. For instance: 1. Do I have a drink before dinner – accost; or do I not – a savings? 2. Do I have a drink at dinner – a cost or a savings? 3. Which entrée do I select – each with a cost? 4. Which dessert do I select – each with a cost? 5. How much do I tip the wait staff? These are the points I have to take into account to make the best decision and the best option, I know what I’ll pick the best because with the recommendations and what I read in this restaurant the food is very good, now what needed is to choose the menu and have a good cost. Decision In the tree I have detailed all the possible options...

...Monologue 7/19.15 Monologue He was a man, cold like his steal knife. I could still feel it on the tip of my skin…so sharp…so lifeless. The blood dripping down my flesh, tears streaming down my face. He could have got me? Oh no…he could have. But did he? She was the first one to go. Who’s she you ask? Hmph…That does not matter anymore. I could hear her screaming as she called for help she grew limp, her voice cracking as he dragged her away. Do you think I am crazy? Doctor. Do you? The blood, the lives. Oh no but she came back, she came back but I knew it wasn’t her. The skin was there, but it was being worn by someone else, someone whom wanted to be her. I knew he wanted to smile, but her skin wouldn’t let him. He wore it, he wore what was hers. I stayed silent as he played dress up. The mirror he stared at was covered in dust, and each day I stared with him. He must have forgot about me? Though he enjoyed her skin a lot more than the others. He continued to wear it as if he knew I was watching, dolling her up as if she was his own. As he was her. This man wasn’t the prettiest, the lights dimming down on his harsh features, even with someone else’s face he couldn’t achieve beauty for he was a monster. How long did it take me to leave you ask? You tell me Doc am I really here or are you the one who’s...

...TIPS Find an aloe-vera plant in your vicinity. Now, just break a leaf, break it into two and use the extract or the juice mixed with natural rose water for best skin protection from tanning and clogging. This also helps to overcome the skin allergies, rashes and itching. • Potatoes are one of the ancient remedies to strip the skin from dead cells. Some nutrients from this common vegetable can break down the grease inside the skin pores, this way enhancing the efficient elimination. • In fact all you have to do is place a slice of it on the whitehead and leave it on for a few minutes, you can then rinse off the area with tepid water. The effect of the treatment will resemble that of an exfoliation when the pores are freed from the clogging agents. • Apples have almost the same banishing power over whiteheads as tomatoes. However in order to have a smashing effect crush the apples and mix them with 3 tbs of honey. Make a fine paste of it and apply it to your face or only the affected area. • Leave it on for 5-10 minutes then rinse it off with lukewarm water. The two ingredients will complete • each other increasing the effect of the facial to eliminate the harmful toxins from the pores. • Milk is another ingredient that can be found in almost all households. Whiteheads as well as blackheads can be efficiently treated with this treatment. • Grab a medium sized bowl and add 50 ml of raw milk then add 2 tsp of lemon juice and finally a pinch of salt. • It is important...

Read on for tips to achieve run-your-fingers-through-it hair. 1 Steer clear of plastic-bristle brushes. "The proper bristles are key," says stylist Edward Tricomi of the Warren-Tricomi Salon in New York City. "A combination of natural boar bristles on either a round or flat brush are best for dry hair, while soft, rubber-toothed wide-paneled brushes are best for damp hair." Our favorite brushes include the Mason Pearson Boar Bristle brush ($78.50; zitomer.com) and Aveda's Wooden Paddle Brush ($17; aveda.com). 2 Brush before shampooing. A few gentle strokes on dry hair will help remove product buildup and scalp flakes, as well as stimulate the scalp and promote blood flow (which delivers nutrients like oxygen) to hair follicles.
