...what to look for when buying a used car. Buying a used car isn’t easy and takes time and can be stressful. First off you’re going to need to do some research on what you’re looking for and find a price range that works for you. Once that is done and you have found something that has your interest we will need to contact the seller and arrange a time and place to meet also its good to ask ahead of time about the title status. Just about always look for a clean title. Usually at home or a local place around town works great for meeting up and always bring a friend with you who can point out something that you might have over looked and they can give a second opinion on just about anything that could be wrong with the vehicle and they can also help you negotiate the price towards the end of finalizing the deal. Meeting the seller, introduce yourself and try to relate to something, ask anything that comes to mind about the car. This is important, ask about the history of the vehicle, how long they have owned it for and what maintenance they have done to the vehicle since they have owned the vehicle before you and you really want to know that the vehicle was taken care of and not abused and beat to crap. Don’t take their word about any parts they have replaced, make sure they have all paperwork/receipts for anything that has been done to the vehicle, this is to show proof and to show that the new parts were installed at a shop. Now then let’s check over the body for ANYTHING and make...

...School of Information Studies Dexi Kong Success case #1: Yo, an English slang is now the name of a widely successful app. How it works? Nothing but sending “Yo” to your friends--Stupid but simple. The app, which debuted in April, has been downloaded two million times, according to Or Arbel, the chief executive. "We Yo with co-workers alerting them that a meeting is starting; I Yo with my wife as a 'hi' during a busy day, I Yo with friends, without any more expectation or need than a Yo back." -- Investor of Yo John Borthwick As much as $10 million. That is the valuation investors have assigned to the new smartphone app. ere is how it success, from my personal perspective. Usefulness is the success metric of any technology rather than capabilities. Say, we need alert someone of something. A phone call might be too intrusive or unnecessary, a text message is not noticeable enough, an email may be even more ignorable. Fortunately, now we have Yo, that could help us fill this gap, fill those tiny moments that we don’t want it to be ignored but would rather not bother others by making a phone call. Technology is meant to simplify people’s life. By using this app, we can save lots of words by simply saying “Yo”. Under certain context, it’s not necessary to “make things so clear”, both the massage deliver and receiver knows what’s going on. Most communication app can do what Yo can do, but Yo really help to simplify our communication and make us realize how easy...

...Hi-Ho Yo-Yo, Inc. Company Background Hi-Ho Yo-Yo, Inc. (HHYY) was founded in 1993 by two business school graduates who thought there ought to be alternatives to the video game craze. Searching for a toy that could have mass market appeal they settled on yo-yos. Yo-yos have a nostalgic appeal to the baby boomer generation and are a novelty plaything for generation X. So, the main marketing thrust of HHYY is directed toward parents and grandparents rather than to the children who will actually play with the yo-yos. The latest advertising campaigns show 50-ish men competing in 1950’s era yo-yo competitions, grandmothers showing their grandsons how to do yo-yo tricks, and pre-teen girls trying to get their yo-yos away from their dads who are monopolizing them. This advertising campaign has been highly effective. After a couple of rough start-up years, HHYY achieved profitability in 1996 and has seen sales and profits increase each year since then. HHYY is a closely held Subchapter S Corporation with all the stock being held by the founders and their family members. The founders, John Cooper and Juan Martinez share the position of Office of the CEO. John is also the Chief Operating Officer (COO) while Juan is the Chief Financial Officer (CFO). An organization chart for HHYY is in Figure 1. The firm employees about 350 people in a single location in the suburbs of Cut and Shoot, Texas. Figure 1. Hi-Ho Yo-Yo, Inc.

Billy and Nick are teamed with other interns seen as rejects: Stuart, who is usually engrossed in his smart phone; Yo-Yo, a Filipino-American who was homeschooled by a stereotypical overbearing Asian mother; and Neha, an Indian-American who is an enthusiast of nerd-related kink. The team is led by Lyle, who constantly tries to act hip in order to hide his insecurities. Another intern, Graham, bullies Billy and Nick's team.

...speakers is because there is not a similar tense in English. It is a structure that is used only whenever certain expressions are used. Think it this way, you use it when you want to express a desire for something to occur but only someone else can make it happen. This acronym can help you understand in which cases the subjunctive should be used. W - wish/will E - Emotion/opinion I - Impersonal expressions (es importante que..., es necesario que...) R - Request D - Doubt/Denial O - Ojalá The structure of sentences using the subjunctive is usually the following. Noun + WEIRDO expression + que + the someone else who could make your desire happen + the subjunctive verb conjugated according to the someone else person + the end of the sentence. Note: The Noun and the “someone else” who make the action do not need to be written since the conjugation of the verb can tell us who we are talking about. (Yo) quisiera que (tú) juegues conmigo. Yo and tú could be interpreted because of the conjugation of the verbs. Quisiera is conjugated in the first person for the present tense, and juegues in the second person for the subjunctive tense. The action juegues conmigo does not depend on yo, only tú can make it happen. In this sentence we know that we have to use the subjunctive because quisiera expresses a wish, and our WEIRDO list tells us that wishes use the subjunctive....
