...Who is the Greatest Canadian of the Twentieth Century? Thomas Clement Douglas was born on October 20, 1904 in Falkirk, Scotland. He was often called Tommy. He and his family immigrated to Canada in 1911. They settled in Winnipeg, Manitoba. When Tommy was 10, he had a bone infection in his leg, osteomyelitis, which needed many operations. None of the operations helped him and his family could not afford to send him to a special doctor. He was extremely fortunate when a visiting surgeon volunteered to operate on him for free. He was also a minister and a politician. Tommy Douglas is the greatest Canadian due to the fact he achieved Medicare, became the first national leader of the NDP and fought for social programs even in the presence of strong oppositions. Tommy Douglas learnt from the experience of his sickness the importance of doctors. The sickness and how he was saved was his inspiration for the Medicare. He wanted everyone to receive the Medicare they needed, even if they did not have a great deal of money. During one of his speeches as a politician, he said, I came to believe that health services ought not to have a price-tag on them, and that people should be able to get whatever health services they required irrespective of their individual capacity to pay. This inspired him to work hard so as to make health care available to all Canadians at no cost. In 1959, Tommy announced the plan to establish a medical insurance called Medicare. He faced strong...

...When I look at pictures of myself as a young child, I remember when life was simple, and all that mattered to me was watching the Rugrats or Spongebob. As a baby, many people would say I looked Like Tommy Pickles. As I grew a bit older, I began to change, not only physically, but mentally and ethically. I began to learn my how things progressed and learned about the many new rules of life. An important one at the time was washing your hands every time you use the bathroom and brush your teeth each night before you go to bed. I also had many priorities at my age in that point of my life. A very important one was watching the newest episode of Pokemon each Saturday morning or beating that next level in any game on my Game Boy. But now as I see myself growing older, my priorities have shifted in a different direction. I now have to constantly update my status on the social networking site known as Facebook or check my Iphone for that text message from my closest friends. Time progressed and as I grew, I began to think about my past, present, and future. I remember my childhood, and live my life in the present, always moving forward. But thinking about my future is something that was a bit challenging to me. I began to ask my self many questions like “What’s going to happen in a few years? Where will I be? What will I be doing?”. As time went on, would look in the mirror, and I’d ask my self who I see. I see the person I am now. I see the 17 year old young man, who is preparing to...

...major houses are introducing. Then, by using their information system, which are linked to their supplier and the low cost manufacturers the company uses abroad, they can create a new collection in only five weeks and these clothes can then be made in a week and delivery to stores soon after where major fashion houses take six or more month for design.

...Levis’ Jean SWOT Analysis Strengths. Levis' are the original, authentic jean. They were a hit with baby boomers decades ago when they were in their teenager years. Another is that they stood for something beyond profit. The family took pride in providing quality products, personal service, and fair treatment. The family name and tradition was associated with respect for people—customers, employees, and the community. Weaknesses. The company began to rapidly lose market share to newer, trendier, more aggressive brands and designer labels. The Levi brand lost luster and relevance to the younger generation. Levi's jeans are perceived to be their “parent's jeans.” For that reason they will wear anything else but a pair of Levi's. This perception is an ongoing marketing problem and the company is struggling to find a way to reverse the brand's fortunes. Their tradition of promoting within may have started their dark side. Long-term managers became used to doing things a certain way, and kept new ideas and new blood at a distance. Since the company was so committed to its employees, it kept the younger recruits with new ideas from finding a place. They were so inwardly focused, that they missed the great changes occurring in the fashion world. Their main flaw was that they did not have a clear developmental strategic plan, did not pay attention and learn new technologies, and did not keep track of the competition, market and consumer tastes. Opportunities. In today’s society...

...Truly Not a Dummy If William Ellsworth Hoy were playing today, he would not be called "Dummy"--not by players nor by fans nor by the media. He'd be "Bill" or "Billy," perhaps "Will" or "Willie," maybe even "Ellie." He wouldn't be a deaf mute, either. He'd be "aurally and vocally challenged." But back when Hoy was playing, nicknames were descriptive, often to the point of cruelty. To Hoy, his condition wasn't an excuse; it was what it was. Indeed, he referred to himself as "Dummy" and politely corrected those who, for whatever reason, called him "William." Hoy would have been an exceptional man with or without his handicap. After his baseball career was over, he used his celebrity status to foster the needs and concerns of the deaf. He had a zest for life and once walked 72 blocks at the age of 80 to see his son, Judge Carson Hoy preside in court. At that advanced age he also danced the Charleston and pruned trees on his farm. William Ellsworth Hoy was born in Houcktown, Ohio, on May 23, 1862. His parents, Rebecca Hoffman and Jacob Hoy, were of English-German and Scottish stock and had a farm in Houcktown. William had three brothers, Smith, Frank, and John, as well as sister Ora. Contracting meningitis when he was three years old left William deaf and mute. Hoy entered the Ohio School for the Deaf in 1872, graduating in 1879. Highly intelligent and hardworking, he was valedictorian of his high school class. In those days many deaf people were either employed or self-employed...

Keuntungannya yang didapat dengan menggunakan teknologi layar sentuh : seorang tamu hotel pada contoh kasus diatas adalah bisa mendapatkan pelayanan dari “penerima tamu virtual” melalui layar komputer di lobi. Tamu tersebut dapat memanipulasi peta, mengedit foto, memilih menu restoran maupun informasi jadwal teater. Hal tersebut membuat komunikasi menjadi lebih efisien dan cepat yang mungkin akan mempengaruhi loyalitas pengunjung karena pengunjung merasa puas dengan pelayanan hotel tersebut. Sistem pada hotel tersebut juga mampu diprogram untuk mendukung berbagai bahasa sehingga penggunaannya memudahkan para tamu dari berbagai macam bangsa yang berlainan bahasanya dapat dengan mudah berkomunikasi. Selain itu dengan jumlah peralatan layar sentuh yang cukup atau koneksi dari kamar maka hotel tersebut akan mampu melayani para tamu dengan jumlah yang lebih banyak secara bersamaan. Permasalahan yang akan timbul apabila ada permintaan dari tamu yang cukup kompleks dan banyak maka sistem ini tidak akan mampu melakukan pelayanan secara maksimal seperti pelayanan yang di lakukan oleh manusia (pelayan). Selain itu banyak dana yang harus dikeluarkan/dihabiskan untuk investasi pada perangkat lunak, perangkat keras, pemeliharaan program dan sistem, dan dukungan pengguna.

...fashion counterpart of Amazon. At the beginning it would open its website in 18 countries (Margolis, 1999). They also had a name which was easy to remember, really short and easy to spell around the world. Furthermore, Boo.com described its vision as "bringing beautiful clothes to the world"(Goldstein, 1999, p.27). Young people between 18 and 30 were chosen as a target group due to the fact that they were trendsetters and interested in sports activities. Furthermore, they are fashion conscious and they have knowledge of how using the internet (Okonkwo, 2007). The company is a fashion retailer, selling quality products of branded and niche suppliers, with a promise of a free delivery within five days. They listed brands such as Tommy Hilfiger, Fila, Lacoste and Adidas (Malmsten, Portanger and Drazin, 2001).

They are some pros and cons on legalizing marijuana in this world. I will get to that later on this paper. I feel like for you to talk about this type of situation you have to go through it. I first smoke marijuana when I was twenty-six or twenty-seven. But I started drinking when I was fifteen or sixteen. I tried smoking cigarettes but my body didn’t agree with that. I even tried cocaine two or three times in my life time. I definitely didn’t like that. I even tried ectasy for a while until I find out what it do to the brain cells. Out of all these drugs ectasy is the most deadliest drug that kill the most brain cell. They put all kinds of stuff in that pill, which is very scary. Out of all those that I tried, the only thing that I agree with is marijuana. Yes, I did started drinking before I did any of these things. But who didn’t, alcohol is the gateway drug. I don’t even like taking pills for headaches or colds, when my body aches. The only pills I take is for my high blood pressure. When I smoke I feel so relax and for some reason I can feel everybody vibe. It sounds weird but I do. It lets me know on what I need to do and things...

...Situation Rescue Me is a drama that centers on the inner working of Engine 62, a New York City firehouse, and the personal and emotional battles of its members in a post-9/11 world. The TV show is mostly centered around Tommy Gavin, a veteran firefighter whose life is in turmoil as he copes with stresses and fears of his job as well as the separation from his wife Janet. Tommy is lost, just like all other firefighters. In the June 20th, 2006 episode titled Sparks, Tommy Gavin was at a breaking point. The character was involved in a controversial storyline: Tommy flies into an angry rage, throws Janet down on the couch, rips her shirt off, lifts her skirt up, and basically ‘rapes’ her. However, the way the scene unfolded on screen, it was almost as if Janet enjoyed Tommy forcing himself on her. Janet never said the words “No” or “Stop”, she did physically try to get Tommy off of her when he first attacked her. But moments later she gave in, and seemed to approve what was going on. At the end of the scene, Tommy stood up, apologized for ripping her shirt, and left Janet’s house with a smirk on his face – he seemed quite pleased with himself. Television reviewers, bloggers, and fans complained about the scene. There was a debate about whether Tommy had raped Janet or not. Janet's reaction and Tommy's expression caused as much reaction as the assault itself, with critics saying that it made rape look unimportant, unrealistic, and that Tommy's actions were condoned. It...
