"What a lucky break to get this job while I'm getting the world's best education at Emily Enigma Flying College!" "Ok, I'll take over now," you say to the young Pakistani lady, who had barely escaped a wild horde of fundamentalist Pakistani Muslims, who had wanted to decapitate her for asserting that god's a woman. She considered herself extremely lucky for getting to this country, where religious fundamentalists only shoot physicians now and then. "

Abstract
Managers plan, organize, lead, and control in different ways. Although management styles differ, the use of these four management functions ultimately determines the success of any manager. This paper discusses the four functions and explains how each function applies to the author's position as an employee of the convenience store chain, 7-Eleven, and the position of his supervisor.
From the Paper

The daily use of the four management functions keeps management on track and enables them to keep teams focused on goals. Store plans are also used to ensure the manager is on-track to achieve monthly budgeted goals. When the manager is off-track, action is taken to coach the manager on how to correct negative trends."

Abstract
The paper challenges the assumption that the Visual Basic self-help book can teach some of the most complex programming skills in a short 24 hours. The paper discusses the major drawbacks of this book, including the faulty assumption that each chapter is just one hour, the fact that it doesn't go into great enough depth on advanced functions and that there is nothing on data integration or XML. The paper explains that this book needs to be at least four books in a series, but the publisher wanted to drive up the perceived value to the reader and therefore the price of the book. The "Teach Yourself in 24 Hours" has alluring and broad market potential. The paper concludes that the book should be called "Mastering Visual Basic" instead and the key points on programming and integration should be included.

24 Hours Assumes The Perfect Storm for Learning
The book's Most Major Flaws
Summary
From the Paper
"Even the most advanced students who are ready for tackling this book would take at least a week's worth of accumulated time testing, verifying, and learning the concepts of the book. When the publishers state learning the subject in 24 hours, they are only speaking of time-on-task, not the ability to comprehend and use the insights gained.
"If this sounds like the publishers are over-committing and under-delivering, they are. It may take an accumulated time of 24 hours to read the book, yet comprehending and applying the complex concepts of this book will take at a minimum days for the most advanced students, to weeks for those just learning a programming language."

Abstract
In this paper, the symbolism of "The Story of an Hour" by Kate Chopin reveals the identity of the Victorian women that had to live under the abusive patriarchy through the institution of marriage. Mrs. Mallard is set free from these obligations, which Chopin symbolic implies in the spring day and the open window that reflects her newly found freedoms. In this manner, this story reflects the submissive nature of marriage in Victorian England, which is symbolically defined in Chopin's writing style.

Abstract
Freedom is a term that is poorly defined unless a person has experienced it firsthand. This paper describes how, in Kate Chopin's "The Story of an Hour," the term "freedom" is embedded in her writing through the use of metaphors and symbolism, as well as in the actual text. The young protagonist, Mrs. Louise Mallard, has a deep desire for freedom that has been buried by her obligations as a wife. A newly realized freedom emerges as Louise explores what her life might be like without her husband. Ultimately and ironically, she uncovers a second freedom as her soul is freed from her body. This paper examines the central theme of freedom and how the author uses vivid imagery to arrive at the theme.
From the Paper
"In the beginning of the story, Chopin points out that Louise is afflicted with heart trouble (Chopin, 1894, p. 188). This heart trouble could be taken to mean either her heart disease or, in the symbolic meaning of the phrase, her troubles with love. Chronic illness like a heart problem at Louise's young age is not something she would choose. Thus, she is trapped, in a way, with living with a disease that limits her physical activity. Here we first get the idea that Louise's marriage may be on shaky ground. The knowledge of her heart problems could also serve as a foreshadowing of the story's conclusion.
The story tells us that when Louise first hears of her husband's death, she weeps with "sudden, wild abandonment" (Chopin, 1894, p. 189). The use of the term "abandonment" suggests a former imprisonment, which, in this case, is Louise's marriage. For example, when Louise's husband arrives back home, he needs to use a latchkey to get inside (University of Michigan Fantasy and Science Fiction, 2001). Louise is literally locked inside her own house."

Abstract
This paper examines how Kate Chopin's prolific short story entitled, "The Story of an Hour" provides the reader with endless literary devices as well as components which enhance the story and the point that the author is trying to get across. In particular, it looks at how Chopin's usage of irony, ending and character provide the basis for which this story can thrive upon.
From the Paper
"Irony has the ability to alter one's ideas about what might be expected and what actually occurs. This was the case in "The Story of an Hour." Mrs. Mallard was devastated and simply unable to think straight when she had heard the news of the train accident which took the life of her husband only to see that he is alive and doing well. The fact that she prepared herself for her husband's death and allowed grieving time only to see him standing at her front door is astonishing, and ironic."

Abstract
This paper examines the use of organic light-emitting diode (OLED) and FOLED technology for department stores. It further points out the capabilities and potential uses of the technology.
From the Paper
"For too long department stores have remained behind in a world of technological advancement. While other industries have capitalized on and richly profited from technological breakthroughs, department stores have largely clung to the same methods and technologies they have used for the past years. Other than abandoning the old pneumatic tube systems once utilized for obtaining change from an office downstairs and the manual cash registers popular in the good old days, department stores today have changed little in recent decades."
