Whole Foods Market is the largest natural food retailer in the world with more than 360 stores and approximately $12 billion in annual sales. With operations located primarily in the United States and also in Canada and the United Kingdom, Whole Foods sells natural and organic food products that include produce, meat, poultry, seafood, grocery products, baked and prepared goods, many drinks such as beer and wine, cheese, floral products, and pet products. The origin of the company dates to 1978 when John Mackey and his girlfriend used $45,000 in borrowed funds to start a small natural food store then named SaferWay.

14-1 Introduction
In a period of time when green is on everyone’s mind, it seems fitting to see Whole Foods’s distinctive green signs in neighborhoods across the country. Beginning with its first expansion in 1984, Whole Foods has grown domestically. In 2007 Whole Foods began opening stores in the United Kingdom. The company has fueled its expansion by acquiring other food chains as well. For instance, it acquired one of its largest competitors—Wild Oats—in 2007. The company currently operates 465 stores located throughout the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. The firm has also been elected as one of Fortune magazine’s Top 100 Companies to Work For every year since the list was created in 1998. Although customers are considered to be the company’s highest valued stakeholder, Whole Foods adopts a stakeholder orientation that focuses on the needs of all of its stakeholders, including its employees and the community.
Whole Foods spearheaded efforts in the grocery industry to source its food products responsibly and search for innovative solutions to improve its environmental footprint. The company emphasizes healthy living and seeks to contribute to the communities where it does business. However, despite Whole Foods ’ s significant accomplishments in business ethics, it has not been free from criticism. In pursuit of growth, it has been accused of running local stores out of business and received mixed responses from some consumers. Other ethical issues include antitrust investigations and questionable activity by CEO John Mackey.
This case begins by providing brief historical background information on Whole Foods. Next, its mission and values are examined, followed by a look at how the company strives to live out its values to become a good corporate citizen. We also consider ethical issues Whole Foods has faced to demonstrate the complexity companies may experience when engaging in ethical decision making. Finally, we examine some recent challenges Whole Foods is facing as competition in the organic food industry continues to increase.

In 1978 two entrepreneurs in their twenties used a $45,000 loan to open a small natural foods store in Austin, Texas. John Mackey and his then-girlfriend Rene Lawson Hardy wanted to help people live better. At the time, there were fewer than a dozen natural foods markets in the nation.

OPENING CASE STUDY: WHOLE FOODS, Whole People
Whole Foods Market is the largest natural food retailer in the world. With operations located primarily in the United States and also in Canada and the United Kingdom, Whole Foods sells natural and organic food products that include produce, meat, poultry, seafood, grocery products, baked and prepared goods, many drinks such as beer and wine, cheese, floral products, and pet products. The origin of the company dates to 1978 when John Mackey and his girlfriend used $45,000 in borrowed funds to start a small natural food store then named SaferWay. The store was located in Austin, Texas. John and his girlfriend lived in the space over the store (without a shower) because they were "kicked out" of their apartment for storing food products in it.
In 1980, Mackey developed a partnership with Craig Weller and Mark Skiles, merging SaferWay with Weller's and Skiles's Clarksville Natural Grocer to create the Whole Foods Market. Its first store opened in 1980 with 12,500 square feet and 19 employees. This was a very large health food store relative to others at that time. There was a devastating flood in Austin within a year of its opening and the store was heavily damaged. Much of its inventory was ruined and its equipment was damaged. The total losses were approximately $400,000, and the company had no insurance. Interestingly, customers and neighbors helped the staff of the store to repair and clean up the damage. Creditors, vendors, and investors all partnered to help the store reopen only 28 days after the flood. With their assistance, Whole Foods survived this devastating natural disaster.
Whole Foods started to expand in 1984 when it opened its first store outside of Austin. The new store was located in Houston, followed by another store in Dallas and one in New Orleans. It also began acquiring other companies that sold natural foods, which helped to increase its expansion into new areas of the United States. In 2007, it expanded into international markets by opening its first Whole Foods branded store in London, England. (In 2004, it acquired a small natural foods company in the United Kingdom, Fresh & Wild, but did not use the Whole Foods brand until opening its new store in London.) It also acquired one of its major U.S. competitors, Wild Oats, in 2007. It now has more than 54,000 employees in about 280 stores with annual sales of $7.95 billion. Thus, Whole Foods has become a major business enterprise and the most successful natural and organic food retailer in the world.
MANAGING HUMAN CAPITAL
Whole Foods Market has done a number of things right, thereby achieving considerable success. Yet, many people believe that one of the best things it has done is to implement an effective people-management system. Each Whole Foods store employs approximately 40 to as many as 650 associates. All of the associates are organized into self-directed teams; associates are referred to as team members. Each of.

Business Name: Fruitfit Company
The name of the company has been inspired by the core objectives that the business has to the customers. As the company is committed to providing healthy drinks which will serve as an alternative to commercialized high sugar beverages on the market. The company will provide non-alcoholic beverages based on fruits, herbs, and vegetables. Fruits will, however, make up the largest part of the business raw materials. The use of quality fruits to make healthy drinks has therefore inspired the name Fruitfit as the business name.
Mission Statement
Fruitfit Company is committed to providing healthy and achieve the highest level of satisfaction from our customers and build customer confidence in our products. At Fruitfit, we believe that what you put in your body matters a lot.
This mission statement is based on the mandate that the company has to its customers. Through the providing healthy beverages, the company will ensure that its customer's health matters concerns are taken care of. The responsibilities of the business are inspired by the recognition of living a healthy life by controlling what we consume.
Industry Trends
The global non-alcoholic beverage industry is estimated to be USD 967 billion. This is according to 2016 estimates done by market research studies. The industry is also expected to grow at an estimated rate of 5.7% through 2017-2025. This makes it a desirable business to venture into. In Thailand, the non-alcoholic beverage industry can be divided into the sectors of carbonated drinks, bottled water, fruit and vegetable drinks, performance drinks, energy drinks, and smoothies. The company will primarily operate in the fruit and vegetable drinks. This is especially a good time for the business as changes in the market have indicated that customers are shifting from carbonated drinks to healthy drinks (Helms & Nixon, 2010). As a result, the categories of drinks which offer health benefits to the customers are experiencing constant growth rates over time.
Strategic Position
In the order to properly position the company effectively in the market, the company will adopt a value-based positioning strategy. The company is committed to providing healthy drinks to customers. This comes at a time when the global market is becoming more conscious of the importance of healthy living. Fruitfit Company aims to provide healthy drinks which have been produced using quality raw materials. The company sources are raw materials from the local farmers whereby they are able to get the highest quality fruits and vegetables.
Distribution channels
As the company will be operating in an industry which has stiff competition, it will be necessary to ensure that the products of the company are brought as close to the customers as possible. As a result, the company will adopt a well-networked distribution channel which will ensure coverage of a wide geographical area. The company will have a central point of.
Whole Foods business case & hospitality management
The following Business Case Study “Walk the Talk”. It deals works with these innovative management premises. It is also a good example of an organization that follows its sense of purpose, transmitting it to all stakeholders. As a result, the company vision is shared first by all team members; producing then more passion and affecting all working activities. This radical management practice breaks with the conventional thought while still achieving spectacular results! Above all, what matters most in this shift in the management paradigm, is that this radical model of management is happening in a very commoditized and mature industry. Whole Foods has clearly shown us that, by focussing on workers and their contribution to constant company improvements, core values and customers, it is possible to get a real Competitive Advantage.

Case Study: Healing and Autonomy
Mike and Joanne are the parents of James and Samuel, identical twins born 8 years ago. James is currently suffering from acute glomerulonephritis, kidney failure. James was originally brought into the hospital for complications associated with a strep throat infection. The spread of the A streptococcus infection led to the subsequent kidney failure. James’s condition was acute enough to warrant immediate treatment. Usually cases of acute glomerulonephritis caused by strep infection tend to improve on their own or with an antibiotic. However, James also had elevated blood pressure and enough fluid buildup that required temporary dialysis to relieve.
The attending physician suggested immediate dialysis. After some time of discussion with Joanne, Mike informs the physician that they are going to forego the dialysis and place their faith in God. Mike and Joanne had been moved by a sermon their pastor had given a week ago, and also had witnessed a close friend regain mobility when she was prayed over at a healing service after a serious stroke. They thought it more prudent to take James immediately to a faith healing service instead of putting James through multiple rounds of dialysis. Yet, Mike and Joanne agreed to return to the hospital after the faith healing services later in the week, and in hopes that James would be healed by then.
Two days later the family returned and was forced to place James on dialysis, as his condition had deteriorated. Mike felt perplexed and tormented by his decision to not treat James earlier. Had he not enough faith? Was God punishing him or James? To make matters worse, James's kidneys had deteriorated such that his dialysis was now not a temporary matter and was in need of a kidney transplant. Crushed and desperate, Mike and Joanne immediately offered to donate one of their own kidneys to James, but they were not compatible donors. Over the next few weeks, amidst daily roun.

Application of Standards of Care
Discuss the standard(s) of care to which the parties will be held in this case scenario. How will the standards of care and your state’s Nurse Practice Act be applied in the courts if the case is sued?
Case Scenario
SK, age 61, went to the hospital with what she thought was a bad cold, and was admitted with a diagnosis of pneumonia. Following admission, she became increasingly feverish and short of breath, but her family’s calls for help went unanswered. In fact, her daughter was unable to find anyone when she went to the nurses’ station looking for help. The patient eventually stopped breathing, and someone finally responded to the family’s desperate and frantic calls for help. SK was successfully resuscitated, but sustained brain damage due to oxygen deprivation. She was left unable to walk, talk, or care for herself.
Because of nurse understaffing in the hospital, her assigned RN had not assessed her often enough and did not monitor her oxygen level. There were 41 other patients on this unit. Although the hospital’s own staffing standards called for five registered nurses and two licensed practical nurses to staff this unit, only three registered nurses were on duty. Records for the unit in question indicated that the hospital failed to meet its own staffing standards for 51 out of 59 days before this incident.

Cross-linguistic evidence for the
nature of age effects in second

ABSTRACT
Few researchers would doubt that ultimate attainment in second language grammar is negatively
correlated with age of acquisition, but considerable controversy remains about the nature of this
relationship: the exact shape of the age-attainment function and its interpretation. This article presents
two parallel studies with native speakers of Russian: one on the acquisition of English as a second
language in North America (n = 76), and one on the acquisition of Hebrew as a second language in
Israel (n = 64). Despite the very different nature of the languages being learned, the two studies show
very similar results. When age at testing is partialed out, the data reveal a steep decline in the learning
of grammar before age 18 in both groups, followed by an essentially horizontal slope until age 40. This
is interpreted as evidence in favor of the critical period. Both groups show a significant correlation
between ultimate attainment and verbal aptitude for the adult learners, but not for the early learners.
This is interpreted as further evidence that the learning processes in childhood and adulthood not only
yield different levels of proficiency but are also different in nature.
Age effects in (second) language learning are widely acknowledged, but their
exact nature remains controversial, in particular, the concept of a critical period
for second language acquisition (SLA). In about the last 15 years, numerous
arguments against the critical period hypothesis (CPH) have been formulated: a
few studies have failed to find a clear correlation between age of acquisition and
ultimate attainment; many more researchers accept the negative correlation as a
fact, but they argue that it is attributable to a confound between age of acquisition
and one or more other variables, such as length of residence, age at testing, the
nature of the input received as a function of age, the extent to which education
was provided in the second language (L2) or the first language (L1), the (lack of)
motivation to integrate fully with the L2 society, or simply the amount of practice

DeKeyser et al.: Cross-linguistic evidence for the nature of age effects in SLA
in the L2 as opposed to the L1. Some have also taken the rather different results
found for learners of different L1s learning the same L2 as evidence that age of
acquisition is not an important predictor by itself..

Appliance Warehouse Service Plan.The discussion focuses on the.docx
Appliance Warehouse Service Plan.
The discussion focuses on the appliance Warehouse Service Plan that is made up of the testing plan, an implementation plan and the training plan for the sake of the bettering of services in a warehouse. The testing plan is meant to manage the systems through QA standards meeting the needs of the customers. The implementation plan elaborates and indicates whether one should use parallel, direct, phased, or pilot changeover strategies. The training plan, on the other hand, indicates what a training plan would include for affected employees, such as appointment setters, technicians, management, and the parts department.
Testing Plan
The main reason for the testing plan is to validate and verify the information from the main source or the end to end target warehouse. The two major testing plans for include program testing and acceptance testing (Lewis, 2017). The plan should verify the following, the business required documents, ETL design for the documents, sources to target on the mapping process and the data model for the source and the target schemas. The documents that are considered are meant for the ETL development process in the testing plan. The testing plan is meant further for the supervisors or the quality analysis team to confirm that the work is concerning the objective of the organization. The process of testing might also include the configuration management system and the data quality validation and verification process.
Implementation Plan
The plan for the implementation of the systems is the same as the process that is considered during the development process of the entire system to meet the goals of the organization. The steps to consider for the whole plan of the implementation include the analysis and the enhancement requests, the writing of very simplified and new programs, restructuring of the database, analysis of the program library and its cost, and the reengineering of the test program. The first phase parallels the analysis phase as the parallel strategy is considered for the entire process, which entails the analysis phase of the SDLC. The steps two to four process entails the combining and the construction activities that are done on a new system majorly on a small scale. The last step is meant to parallel the testing that is commonly done during the implementation process. The testing process ensures that the process is free of risk as a quality assurance process (Liang & Hui, 2016).
Training Plan
The training plan should be made up of a training matrix in which it will guide them to know who needs the training what they need from the training and why they want the training not forgetting when they need the training(Kwak,2016). The matrix will allow for the planning and the preparation for the training avoiding scrambling when the due date for the training comes around. The requirements are automatically updated when the employees get done with the first training before transferri.

Appcelerator Titanium was released in December 2008, and has been steadily growing in functionality since its release. Starting with its Titanium Developer product, Appcelerator provides a single-point interface to run applications. Titanium Studio is a full-featured IDE which provides a single place to handle all steps of the development environment including a debugging solution. Titanium is not a magic bullet; however, it does include a solid framework for developing a single codebase to deploy to multiple platforms. In addition, it allows developers to use a language they are more familiar with to create apps in a domain outside of their knowledge.
What are some advantages to using Appcelerator Titanium?
Though Appcelerator is reasonably priced, why do some mobile app developers feel that the bugs don’t make it worth the effort?.
How is Appcelerator different from other mobile application developers?

Ape and Human Cognition What’s theDifferenceMichael To.docx
Ape and Human Cognition: What’s the
Difference?
Michael Tomasello and Esther Herrmann
Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Leipzig, Germany
Abstract
Humans share the vast majority of their cognitive skills with other great apes. In addition, however, humans have also evolved a
unique suite of cognitive skills and motivations—collectively referred to as shared intentionality—for living collaboratively,
learning socially, and exchanging information in cultural groups.
Keywords
apes, culture, cognition, evolution, cooperation
Surely one of the deepest and most important questions in all of
the psychological sciences is how human cognition is similar to
and different from that of other primates. The main datum is this:
Humans seemingly engage in all kinds of cognitive activities that
their nearest primate relatives do not, but at the same time there is
great variability among different cultural groups. All groups have
complex technologies but of very different types; all groups use
linguistic and other symbols but in quite different ways; all
groups have complex social institutions but very different ones.
What this suggests is that human cognition is in some way bound
up with human culture. Here we argue that this is indeed the case,
and we then try to explain this fact evolutionarily.
Similarities in Ape and Human Cognition
The five great ape species (orangutans, gorillas, chimpanzees,
bonobos, humans) share a common ancestor from about 15 mil-
lion years ago, with the last three sharing a common ancestor
from about 6 million years ago (see Fig. 1 for a picture of chim-
panzees). Since great apes are so closely related to one another
evolutionarily, it is natural that they share many perceptual,
behavioral, and cognitive skills.
Great ape cognitive worlds
Many different studies suggest that nonhuman great apes (here-
after great apes) understand the physical world in basically the
same way as humans. Like humans, apes live most basically in
a world of permanent objects (and categories and quantities of
objects) existing in a mentally represented space. Moreover,
they understand much about various kinds of events in the
world and how these events relate to one another causally (see
Tomasello & Call, 1997, for a review). Apes’ and other
primates’ cognitive skills for dealing with the physical world
almost certainly evolved in the context of foraging for food.
As compared with other mammals, primates may face special
challenges in locating their daily fare, since ripe fruits are pat-
chy resources that are irregularly distributed in space and time.
Other studies suggest that great apes understand their social
worlds in basically the same way as humans as well. Like
humans, apes live in a world of identifiable individuals with
whom they form various kinds of social relationships—for
example, in terms of dominance and ‘‘friendship’’—and they
recognize the third-party social relationships that.

Hello Ms. Chimera & Class,
Everyone has different strengths and weaknesses when it comes to academics and the professional world. Thanks to my experience as a financial ops generalist, I have gained great communication skills. I am responsible for contacting vendors to address or fix any issues we may have with the service or product. I have also completed training on effective communication at my current job. This training was helpful being that I have to regularly speak with offenders family members as well. Another one of my strengths is that I am very reliable. My previous supervisor would always assign me extra duties when she had a deadline to meet because she knew that I would make sure it was done by the deadline. An academic weakness that I have is writing papers, I tend to procrastinate when it comes to having to write them. I have found that the writing center is very helpful. The university's library is helpful when having to do research. I have used the citation generator numerous times in the past to help with citations. If you have trouble with citations, this is a good resource or tool to use.

How to Break the cycle of negative Thoughts
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdf
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

- 3. Complete Final Exam Part 2 assessment. Week 7.5 Directions: Read the following Case Study and respond to the items below. Case Study: Whole Foods Market Customers entering a Whole Foods store are greeted with a visual feast: bright red peppers and glossy green avocados in a colorful collage. “Beauty is an important part of pleasure and how we interpret the food experience,” says Whole Foods Market founder and CEO John Mackey. “We seduce the customer with produce.” Offering beautiful produce and other fresh, natural, and often organic foods is the foundation of Whole Foods. The health food store Mackey started in Austin, Texas in 1978 has grown into a leading natural foods supermarket chain, with nearly 900 stores and $9 billion in yearly sales. It has helped create a $15 billion industry. Throughout its growth, Whole Foods has honed and retained its culture, which is based on a commitment to simple, healthy food and environmental sustainability. The company values and strives to satisfy all its stakeholders: customers, employees, community members, suppliers, and the shareholders who have invested in its stock. Whole Foods views itself as an alternative to the usual business model and follows the principle that “the purpose of business is not primarily to
- 4. maximize shareholder value,” says CEO Mackey. He believes his company’s philosophy will be the dominant business philosophy in the 21st century. Focusing on customers first, Whole Foods provides consumer education as well as fresh, healthful products. After customers, the emphasis is on happy employees. As the second largest non-union U.S. retailer, Whole Foods has ranked fifth among Fortune Magazine’s list of the 100 best companies to work for. Its “team members” earn an average $15 an hour, receive full health benefits, are given the company financial data, and have a say in a store’s operations. The chain buys as much as possible from local, organic farmers and promotes them through store displays. Whole Foods donates 5% of its profits to community projects and shows its responsibility to the environment by promoting “green” brands, purchasing renewable energy, building energy efficient stores, and leading the reusable shopping bags movement. The company takes its concern so far as to seek poultry and meat from animals raised as naturally as possible and treated compassionately. Mackey inspires his company’s culture. Even though Whole Foods executives have their salaries capped at 19 times the average worker’s pay, he cut his own pay to $1 a year. He says he has enough money. Industry analysts and stockholders have questioned whether Whole Foods can maintain both its culture and profitability as competition increases. Traditional grocery chains now offer many
- 5. organic products, often at lower prices than those at Whole Foods (nicknamed “whole paycheck”). Lowering prices to compete would lower Whole Foods’ profits and perhaps reduce the service that marks the Whole Foods experience. Another concern is that as more supermarkets carry organic products, the limited number of organic farmers may not be able to meet the demand.
