    It was Monday morning, New Year’s Eve day, 2001. On a day that many people were enjoying at home, Mike Valenti was in his office at Michael’s Homestyle Pasta. Since he had acquired the Southern Pasta Company on December 10, he had been learning the business, trying to get his arms around it, as he described it. Distance was a factor: Michael’s headquarters and plant were in Connecticut; Southern was located in Florida. Mike would have liked to be in Tampa, working directly with his new employees and trying to integrate the two companies’ cultures, but his wife was expecting their third child in early January and he needed to stay near home. In the due diligence period leading up to the purchase, it had seemed as though a new problem had developed every week. Finally, 3 weeks after closing, things seemed to be under control. The telephone rang. When Mike answered, he was not surprised to hear Ted Brewer on the other end of the line. Ted, Michael’s vice president for administration and operations, spent part of every week at the Florida plant. Ted began, “I hope you’re sitting down.” He went on to tell Mike that Southern’s quality assurance manager, Fred Jones, was in his office, and “You need to hear what he has to say!” He put Fred on the phone. Mike listened as Fred told him that the seafood-stuffed pasta shells that Southern had just shipped to its biggest customer were tainted with salmonella. “That can’t be true,” Mike responded. “We have the lab results that show it’s fine!” “I know,” replied Fred, “but those results were falsified.” In tears, the quality assurance manager explained that he had taken the samples of stuffed pasta that were to be sent to an independent lab for testing and baked them to make sure that any bacteria were killed; then he had frozen them and repackaged them to look like packages just off the production line. Southern’s president, Hans…

    C Block Descriptive Writing

    I captured the sight of the sun rising through my blurred safety glass window, must be morning. Awakening in the same claustrophobic battle scarred room has been my life for 3 years now. Getting to my feet I peer through the withered cast iron bars of my cell to see the guards carrying out the routine cell checks. This time something was different. I see a guard broadcasting to a fellow officer for assistance a small number of cells down from me. I feel a cold shiver ran down my back. This occurs far too often for me to not realise what is happening. About 30 seconds has gone and every inmate in C block is gazing at the phenomenon. A rush of Correctional Officers burst into the open box. I catch a glimpse of one holding a black plastic zip…

    Structure of text response

    Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird focuses on the problems facing Scout and her family in the small town of Maycomb in the southern states of America during the 1930’s. In some ways, the text conveys a negative message about humanity. The so supposedly God – fearing people are actually racist and hypocritical. Furthermore, there is a clear class structure which divides the white people and causes anger and resentment. On the other hand, the text is not entirely depressing. Many people show courage such as Atticus who is willing sacrifice his popularity for his principles. In addition, at the end there are glimmers of hope that prejudice can be overcome. Therefore, while this iconic novel is largely pessimistic, ultimately is sends an uplifting message.…

    In the TPR strategy, educators communicate with their students by giving them instructions, and children show they understand what is being told through physical response. Students are not obligated or expected to answer verbally unless they believe they are prepared to do so. This approach requires slight to no constraint to speak. The child answers to the instructions with actions. In lessons, students can nod their head for a positive or negative response. They can also put a thumb up if they are in accordance to something within the lesson or thumbs down if not.…

    Written Mode- English Language

    Communication is a tool with which we exercise our influence on others, bring out changes in our and others’ attitudes, motivate the people around us and establish and maintain relationships with them. Communication forms a major part of our life and is a social activity. This social activity is pursued verbally through speech, reading and writing or non-verbally through body language. The focus of this report will be mainly on written side of communication. The written mode is significant part of communication, as it offers great advantages, especially in an urban environment, where it can convey its message more effectively than other modes such as oral or physical (body language) through the use of eye catching banners and shady graffiti art to bold historical quotes and digitalised advertising. It can be said that written mode is an innovative activity, as it generally requires more planning and preparations, is static and permanent and generally more valued in society (cont. in discussion). Our research in this field was unfortunately very limited due to the time frame provided; however, we did obtain a variety of results (Road signs, memorial plaques, advertisement billboards .etc.) and will be focusing on these in our report. (Please Note that we did not record any examples of spoken language therefore this report will only focus on the written side of communication).…
