“Those Winter Sundays” by Robert Hayden Theme The theme in this poem is love and regrets. The issue of love has been explained in the actions of the father during the winter seasons. The dad could warm the house for his family including the son. This has been demonstrated on the 7 th line which reads “when the rooms were warm, he’d call”. The son on the other hand demonstrates regrets in the last line. He was naïve and could not notice the father’s love and sacrifice at first. Tone The tone is sad at the end. The speaker realizes his mistakes at the end when it is too late. All he used to do is to blame the father who used to work so hard for him. He never had a chance to thank the father for the sacrifices he made. Imagery and Symbolism Sundays in the poem shows church day. This shows how religious the father was. He wanted his son to grow with the best values. The church is the only place that good morals were taught a part form spiritual matters.

He does not want to blame the father anymore because he has discovered all the accusations he made against his father were wrong. He now knows that the father was caring and loved him. Contrast The poem has mixed feelings. The poem shows the negative and cold thoughts of the son against the warm and positive feelings of the father.

A new life has been created and it is thrilling to see the bouncy little boy. But, the speaker pities himself because the old self has died. The old life cannot be renewed since they have entered a new chapter in life. They are going to have responsibilities as opposed to the free nature they had before. Tone The tone is both happy and sad. Happy tone has been shown by the life that has been caused through the transfer of genes from the father and the mother to the son.

Metaphor Several metaphors have been used. The son is referred to as death
Introduction Excellent Manufacturing Company has exhibited great performance as evidenced by the large number of repeat customers who have continued to generate more revenue for the company to the tune of $13,000,000 in a year. According to the forecast records by Mike Finch, the company is well on the way to even greater sales in the future. In the next years, the current production levels could have increased by more than three-quarters of the present value. Due to this the company has to brace itself for any changes in capacity shortly. It can employ short-term measures such as the application of an additional shift and long-term such as the purchase of new equipment. Whatever the strategy applied, critical analysis has to be made to ensure the company does not end up losing from the venture than gaining. Loss can be due to the production of substandard goods that drive the company’s established customers away. Current capacity The plastic-brack production process consists of four major processes: the bracket pressing, molding, assembly, and packaging. In the Bracket presses, the customs rate of production is 96000pcs per week from the two-400 ton presses. Six progressive dies are availed for each of the parts in due process. The die should be changed over after approximately three and a half hours. The molding process occurs simultaneously with the bracket presses. Its production level ranges from 25600-64000pcs per week depending on the size of the product. The smaller the product the larger the number of pieces produced. During the process, six dies are allocated for each part and the die change overdone every four hours. The products of the two processes are taken for assembly, where the faulty ones are returned and the right ones fitted together before packaging into the 10 cu.ft tubs. The capacity at this stage is 19200 pcs per week from the seven stations, each with one operator. At this stage, the ability to identify the defective brackets is vital to ensure the sustained quality of the products. The personnel in charge should also work with reasonable speed to maintain the capacity of 8pcs per minute. Lastly, we have the packaging stage where the capacity is pegged at 96000pcs per week. There is a large packaging area in term
The book “An Overview to the Public Relations Function” contains a detailed overview of the field of public relations (PR) and encompasses an array of notions necessary for management employees to enhance their PR skills. With professional and academic language intertwined, the authors try to answer the question whether and in what way a PR manager can use their communication skills and bring the establishment to success. The chapter under consideration “Organizational Factors Contributing to Excellent Public Relations” encompasses critical aspects of influence that the structure and culture of an establishment have on the PR function. 1 The authors refer to a well-known work by James Grunig that declares diversity as an ultimate value of the establishment. 2 Further, they allocate the C-suite’s views on the whole field of PR practice and what PR-related factors can prove a valuable asset on the way to success. Among these factors, the authors emphasize the importance of PR being acknowledged by the C-suite, autonomous decision-making, and internal organizational communication. In relation to the latter two, the authors go into detail to enlist the cultural aspects of a successful PR management body. The chapter supports the view that PR is not only to be appreciated and valued by the C-suite but the representatives of PR departments should also be present in the dominant coalition. It is stated that, unless an establishment is solely aimed at media interaction and self-advertisement, the members of the C-s

Introduction Fraud is a common problem in any organization and involves both the management and the employees. Therefore, there is a need for every company to come up with a comprehensive fraud prevention program. However, it is very hard to prevent fraud without first addressing the management or authority. Fraud prevention only becomes practicable when there is good management that provides good incentives to anyone who sees fraudulent activity to speak out or not to engage in it (Sullivan, 2005). Therefore, company management should come up with regulations and rules coupled with better incentives for the fraud prevention program to be a success. The first and most crucial aspect of the fraud prevention program is to create a culture of honesty and high ethics within the company. Most companies that have established corporate ethics and compliance program have recorded a tremendous reduction in the risk of fraud. One example of these companies is Microsoft which formed a unit to look into its financial integrity (Biegelman, 2008). The recommendation was to hire employees who understood the social mores and culture of the country they were operating in, the employees were given the mandate of providing anti-fraud education to both the management and staff. Through this campaign, the company was able to create a culture of compliance that enhanced internal control and come up with a successful fraud prevention program. Recommendation On the same note, fraud management does not only involve enforcing harsh rules but it’s more of creating an orga
Background Alcoholism is a behavior arising from physical addiction to alcohol by an individual. A victim of alcoholism will continue to drink despite experiencing health problems that may be physical, social or mental. Alcoholism is different from alcohol abuse since alcohol abuse describes a situation where drinking may result from problems emanating from the act of alcoholism, it is more behavioral than physical addiction (PubMed Health, 2011). Alcoholism is a disorder in which an individual takes alcohol despite being aware that it will ruin their lives. Alcoholics cause several problems with the people who are close to them, and they demonstrate some sense of irresponsible behaviors, for instance, by abandoning school or jobs. Alcoholism results from several years of alcohol drinking and it worsens further with more drinking. When alcoholism is not treated, it will likely destroy the emotional and physical well being of an individual; extreme alcoholism might even lead to death. Alcoholism is a family disease since it hurts and directly and indirectly affects the lives of victim’s family members and the people who are close to the alcoholic person (Cleveland Clinic, 2010). People drinking alcohol do not always have knowledge of when alcohol drinking gets out of hand. The problems of alcoholism may be mind as well as life threatening, and they affect the individual, family and the society. Alcoholism is the taking of alcoholic beverages to an extent that it can interfere with the physical behavior and activities of the alcoholic person (Gifford, 2009). Thesis Alcohol is a widely used and an accepted psychoactive drug that disrupts the neurochemistry in the brain causing emotional, social, behavioral, spiritual and vocational problems. Alcohol. Definition Alcohol is as a central nervous system depressant that when taken in limited quantities, it can have a small and mild stimulant effect. Alcohol is a legal drug accepted by societal and cultural norms of particular jurisdictions. Consistent consumption of alcohol may lead to the body adapting to its persistent presence. Neurochemistry. Absorption, Distribution & Metabolism Since alcohol is a beverage and hence it dissolves in water, it has the potential to diffuse easily into the body tissues, body fluids, and to the brain as well. Classification. Depressant As a depressant, alcohol as the ability to slow down the functioning of a neural system of an individual; it achieves this by blocking messages from reaching the brain. Effects of Alcohol Short Term Physical Effects Unconsciousness In the context of alcohol, this unconsciousness is a form of a blackout. This is a situation where a patient loses his/her senses and thus appearing as if they are in a dreamless sleep, but they will try their best to appear as though they are conscious, which may not be possible. Alcohol poisoning Alcohol poisoning is an illness caused by excessive intake of alcohol. Alcohol poisoning can cause damage to the lung, and it might as well lead to cases of
Introduction The American history analysts consider America as a nation of immigrants from diverse backgrounds. A popular notion is that racial prejudice has subjected the majority of the immigrants to poverty, illiteracy, crime, unemployment, and marginalization (Walker 140). Life adversity forces the Blacks and other immigrants to dwell in low-class houses commonly known as the slums, where violence and crime are almost inescapable. Through movies that feature the superiority of the blacks in the gunfire, youths from the real world emulate the movie actions (Bely 2). In his movie, ‘ Boyz n the Hood ,’ John Singleton demonstrated a grave issue of gun violence that haunted the lives of the American minority youths. Recent 2013 American statistics about urban crime reveal that an annual average of 4,900 Black males suffers most from stray or intentional bullets. Being a traumatizing issue among the minority youth population, the problem is grave. This essay explores the theme of gun violence in the movie, ‘ Boyz n the Hood .’ Youth and Gun Violence in the Movie The Boyz n the Hood movie is a two-decade movie that reveals some miserable lifestyle that the teenagers of the poor and other minorities undergo within the urban area (Walker 141). The movie solely focuses on the lives of some Black teenagers that reside in the South-Central part of Los Angeles. John Singleton used three Black actors to demonstrate the way the Black American youths in cities of lawlessness and poverty that expose them to brutal life experiences (Walker 141). The movie release occurred a few months after the Los Angeles police contributed to the death of 53 rioting youths. The movie consists of three young Black Americans known as Ricky, Tre, and Doughboy. The three boys lived in violent surroundings. The film has multiple breathtaking scenes of constant gunplay that reveal the extent of gang violence that the teenagers often experience from the law enforcers and from the fellow youth gangs (Walker 141). More frequently, gunshots in the dark nights, followed by morning reports of wounded or dead youngsters were stories of common occurrence. The passage to manhood of Doughboy and Ricky is tragic, with the events of gunfire and deaths resulting from stray or deliberate bullets, quite familiar with them (Wa
Dealing with Poor Customer Service Positive customer experience is instrumental in keeping clients satisfied which directly correlates to loyal customers and increased wallet shares from these clients. However, it is very hard for a company to ensure customer service that coincides with the set expectations because the personnel that makes customer-service decisions should think pragmatically and maintain a balance between the needs of their company and the requirements of their new and loyal customers. Thus, companies’ managers are now on the look for methods of enhancing the customer service experience for providing better customer service that goes along with the goals of the business. The outsourced “outside” sales employees are mostly self-employed individuals that work based on the commissions they get from selling the product. Since this portion of sales employees greatly contributes to the revenue of the business, so poor customer service equals poor sales. In this case, training should be provided for employees that show low levels of performance. Moreover, it can be beneficial to introduce policies that benefit the customers since they are often perceived as the main source of complaints (Drummond, 2014, p. 8). Business Restoration Restoring a business can be complicated, especially in a scenario of getting back attractiveness to the brand on the part of customers. It is important to keep in mind that if a company receives negative reviews from customers, there is no reason to panic. On the contrary, this is an opportunity to analyze the performance based on the reviews and get better instead of defending the business and staying blind to criticism. Rebranding might be a good idea in such a case because at times a company rarely thinks what its brand represents, what are its ideas and targets. Rebranding can be seen as “putting on a fresh coat of paint” in both literal and figurative meanings (Bhasin, n.d., para. 2). To restore the attractiveness of a brand and gain support from potential customers in an atmosphere of strict competitiveness, Tea and More can look into organizing community events and other parties that can be an opportunity to put the brand’s name out there as well as boost the employees’ morale. Creating events can be an inexpensive solution that will bring the company closer to the public. As building new bonds with the community is important, creating a focus group to get insights into what customers think about the business can also be instrumental in rebuilding the attractiveness of a company. The business likely has some issues that are under the surface, or a company can be doing an a
Introduction The art of criminal investigation is very crucial in solving criminal cases and ensuring that justice and fairness is achieved for victims of crime. Criminal investigation is not limited to the police department but it is also used in the justice system to determine criminal cases. During the investigation of a crime, very many techniques and technologies are used in assisting the police to come up with a conclusive report against a suspected criminal. In the winding up of a criminal case the police or investigators have to come up with evidence and circumstantial proof that there is certainty in the crime report(s) they present (Tong 42). In this case we are going to consider techniques and approaches that are used in solving crime. This report is going to examine the case of the ‘Boston Strangler’; the case involves sexual assault and subsequent murder of 13 women from the Boston area. In the case of the ‘Boston Strangler’ I was brought in as an investigator by the Boston police department to assist in solving the case when it became apparent that the homicide carried out was of a complicated nature. The circumstances that led to me being brought into this case were that I had worked on several homicide cases and due to my expertise in forensics I had the capability of capturing the ‘Boston Strangler’. Initial Investigation The techniques of solving a crime are varied, in almost all crimes forensic science is used. Forensic science is the art of solving crime by use of techniques like forensic science, during this case I went to the first murder scene after the murder of the sixth victim. The victim was a young black woman by the name of Sophie; she had been killed 3 months after the first victim a 55year old woman was killed. Sophie’s murder was not common in that she was young compared to the other five victims, who were aged. The first step I took was to secure the crime scene and I took a chronological log before assessing the crime scene. Then I took a look at the scene of the murder, together with other officers working on the case we search the crime scene for evidence using various search methods. We conducted point-to-point searches and used other search techniques including narrowing in for any unusual activity, the search was conducted in the lady’s apartment but the main centre of focus was the bedroom were the crime occurred (Becker 124). After securing the crime scene, we collected evidence from the crime scene and all evidence was recorded and kept safely in the plastic bags. I accounted for all the evidence collected and I signed my name against the evidence collected. Most of the evidence was collected from the victim. The victim had been bore marks of physical struggle and her neck had been strangled by stockings and her ears had been bit. All eviden
Introduction The main focus of the paper is to evaluate and analyze the research article by authors Farid Shirazi, Roya Gholami and Dolores An˜o´n Higo. The name of the article is “ The impact of information and communication technology (ICT), education and regulation on economic freedom in Islamic Middle Eastern countries ” published in Information & Management in 2009. The fundamental aspect of the research paper is in the context of e-Commerce. In particular, the “ study investigated the impact of ICT expansion on economic freedom in the Middle East (Bahrain, Iran, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, United Arab Emirates, and Yemen) ” (Shirazi, Gholami and An˜o´n Higo 2009). In order to understand the paper, initially, the theory of the issues would be taken into consideration backed by several other peer reviewed research works, none older than five years, and then a conclusion would be drawn out of these studies. Research and theory Shirazi, Gholami and An˜o´n Higo did a commendable job on the aspect of information and communication technology (ICT) on education in the Middle East countries and did a wide empirical study on the topic. So, as to eliminate errors in this research study the researches used 30 extremely important texts on the subject. Thus, the researchers took care of every aspect of the study. Another advantage of this study is the method used which is linear discrimination function. As transpersonal orientation relates to the belief system or attitude of the subjects it has been found that this linear discriminate function is the most appropriate method for outlining such an empirical definition for ecommerce researchers. The writing is very clear and simple and easily understandable by the general population since it has been divided into many sections clearly stating the needs and results. This is a unique article as it gives importance to the role ecommerce plays in the life of the educationists and students and urges that the administrators are given training to handle their students in a better manner. This study is able to establish the essence of information and communication technology (ICT) in education in the Middle East countries and how it differs from the conventional approaches, not in its techniques or methods but in its scope and orientation. One of the weaknesses of this study is that the there is no first hand surveys used. The only surveys taken into con
