A profile of Oprah Winfrey
What personal angle can you present on this topic? (Consider what is new about the topic or what unique perspective can be shared about this topic.)
Very few media personalities, especially in the 1980s, were capable of connecting with an audience as much as Oprah Winfrey did. Using her phenomenal gift, she warmed her way into the hearts of millions of viewers, and once she was welcomed into their homes, she entertained, informed and changed millions of lives. She was the only media personality who identified what Americans needed most; an opportunity to change their lifestyles and reinvent themselves (Harris and Watson, 2007). It is amazing how this simple discovery has impacted people's lives not only in America but all over the world, in the process making her a very successful actress and entrepreneur. This discovery has also enabled her…...

Carl Wilkinson
Profile Writing Techniques: David Grohl and the Foo Fighters
A profile is an extensive look at a newsworthy person or group of persons (Marrs, 2005). It needs to show right from the onset why the subject is newsworthy, and why their story is worth the reader's time. It is up the writer to employ suitable writing techniques that will enable him to weave various aspects of the subject's life together into one coherent piece. In his profile, 'David Grohl and the Foo Fighters', Carl Wilkinson creatively achieves this through the extensive use of quotes and evergreen questions (Marrs, 2000). In paragraph 15, for instance, he makes use of Grohl's (the subject) own words -- "For 16 years, I've had to balance these things; my love and respect for Nirvana and my love and respect for the Foo Fighters" -- to show firsthand how the subject has struggled to build…...

Zodiac Killer
Criminal Profile of Zodiac Killer
The Zodiac Killer is one of the most elusive serial murders on record in United States history. The Zodiac Killer hunted his victims in and around San Francisco with seven confirmed victims killed during a period lasting from December 20, 1968 to October 11, 1969. Of those seven victims, only two survived the Zodiac Killer's assaults. The Zodiac Killer claimed to have killed upwards of 37 people through the various letters and ciphers sent to the San Francisco Chronicle, although those numbers have never been confirmed.
Victimology
Based on the Zodiac Killer's first six victims, couples that were assaulted on three separate dates and locations, it can be established individuals that were in a high-risk position for assault were as follows:
People between the ages of 17-22 who appeared to be engaged in a romantic relationship
Couples who drove to an isolated area outside of San Francisco, easily…...

Personality Profile
She came to gym regularly -- at least three times per week. This is a good thing, because she very clearly needed it. Nana, young Chinese girl just out of her teens, no longer felt self-conscious about exercising with "thin, beautiful" people. Since her first, nervous visit to the physical health center close to her classes at Northeastern University, Nana has seen many overweight and even obese people, just like herself, coming to the gym, trying to improve themselves and their lives. After the initial surprise of this wore off, Nana began to think that it made sense that there were more fat than thin people at the gym. Why would a thin person need a gym, after all?
On this evening, Nana came into the gym as usual and the receptionist grinned a greeting at her. Her favorite equipment was the stationary bike, because it allowed her to do…...
The government should have ultimate powers on the control of handguns, and possession of firearms made illegal to avoid massacres. If the U.S. had stringent Laws on firearms, the school massacres would not be happening. It is time for the U.S. To accept that the gun laws need immediate reform because of the recurring school mass killing and the ludicrous gun legislation (Blair, 1999).
There are many ways on how to approach a problem and subsequently solving it. The first thing is to realize a problem exists. This will enable the involved parties to do something about the problem in order to solve the problem itself. The circumstances around the problem needs attention, otherwise they may grow to bigger problems that may prove hard to handle. Then, there need be suggestions on how to solve the problem. This will create a start in the problem solving process.
There need to be…...

Perhaps the most distinctive aspect of Starbucks is its commitment to the environment and the suppliers they deal with, often in third-world countries. It is a distinctive competency that helps many upscale customers identify with the company, and has earned their loyalty. In addition, the company employs its corporate resources in many civic-minded ways, earning even more loyalty from employees and customers. Starbucks believes in supporting communities where they do business in many ways, from purchasing from local providers to supporting Earth Day activities and literacy programs (Editors, 2007). In addition, they have taken a relatively narrow niche market and expanded it to be extremely successful around the world. Essentially, they sell coffee and snack items, and yet they are consistently growing, opening new stores, and increasing revenue each year. The fact that they are so successful is an extremely important aspect of their competency and business model. Not everyone…...

Leadership Profiles of Senior Nurse Executives by E.A. Hemman
In a changing health care environment, the need for a change in leadership is evident. Communities are largely becoming aware of the holistic health care needs of its citizens. These communities are becoming more and more knowledgeable about health care needs and how to meet them. For these and other reasons they have placed a fair burden on the health care system to focus more closely on primary care and communication.
To meet demands of this change health care agencies have moved away from traditional non-practitioner management positions and toward clinically experienced administrators. In this analysis I will describe the findings of the researcher, E.A. Hemman in Leadership Profiles of Senior Nurse Executives, the nurses backgrounds, the rational, the health care application, and I will critique the author's understanding, rationale and conclusions.
Naturally, the role of the clinically experienced administrator falls heavily on…...

And the plan must define some type of physical activity that has a measurable way of monitoring calorie exertion. The more strenuous activities such as running, aerobic dance or martial arts burn more calories while less moderate activities such as walking and housework will burn fewer calories. A successful weight management plan successfully controls diet, exercise and weight which improve life and health by ridding the body of excess calories.
Conclusion
In conclusion, this report discussed the notion of weight management through the proper maintenance of calories. As demonstrated in one of the grossest movies I have ever seen called "Super Size Me," if an individual takes in too many calories and the body does not have an opportunity to rid itself of those extra calories, obesity is sure to follow. This is a problem in our society because most individuals manage their external appearance like their weight to be considered physically…...

Additionally, she spends some of her nights at the classier bars in town, catches movies at the theater, and occasionally attends a live show with friends.
The subject is very thrifty with her money, so she does not often go on major shopping trips. Most of what she purchases are services -- high speed Internet, cable, and gym membership to name a few. When she does shop, she often purchases athletic clothes and sports magazines to fuel her interest in fitness, or fine wines and designer foods to entertain her friends. She also enjoys cooking. She shops at small electronics boutiques for hardware related to computer and often shops on the Internet for software. When taking a trip to a mall,…...

Billabong is a leading name in the apparel industry of Australia. The company specializes in casual wear, wet suits and accessories. This report is intended to analyze the feasibility of setting up a manufacturing facility in Karachi, Pakistan. It is also intended that this manufacturing plant will be used as a regional office and will be used to introduce the products of Billabong in the Asian market.

This method enabled the management to analyze this business proposal from political, economic, social, technological, legal and environmental point-of-view. While analyzing Pakistani market as a future prospective, it was established that this business venture can be subjected to higher risks by political, social, and environmental forces. On the other hand, the legal structure of Pakistan offers medium risk to the business operations of Billabong.…...

One day, the regular leader of the club was not there, and no one knew what to do. Andrea took charge of the meeting, showing a video that she found on the Internet about bullying and sharing some of her experiences. This was followed by a Q&a session with the group.
Outcome of the Situation
As a result of stepping up to the plate to lead the LGBT meeting, Andrea is now a member of the leadership committee. She is a lot more willing to talk about her experiences, and she has started her own group for people who are ready to come out but have not come out of the closet yet. It is her goal to reduce the psychological pain that LGBT people feel as the result of social stigma.
