Equipment Incorporated (REI) is a company that does far more than producing top-of-the-line gear for experiencing the outdoors. Not only does this business have a unique and almost unheard of dedication to its values and purpose, but also manages & leads its employees with great wisdom and skills both common and exclusive when compared to successful organizations. While sporting goods such as Big 5 and Dick's Sporting Goods may be more common, what happens “backstage” at REI is more than enough reason

People have been known to find Jesus in the strangest ways. In their toast or eggs; you can even buy a Grilled Cheesus sandwich. Being that he only makes appearances in food It makes sense that one of those ways would be in a cake, because it’s Mardi Gras, also known as Fat Tuesday, the last day to eat King’s Cake before the beginning of Lent. The King Cake accompanies parades and festivals to pay tribute to the Epiphany, the day Three Wise Men arrived in Bethlehem and set forth gifts to baby Jesus

She really didn’t want to do that. To simply abandon Ruby like that. But the mission always came first, and it insisted that Ruby Rose and Weiss Schnee were to become partners. Wiping a trail of sweat of her forehead, Rei shook her head a few times and focused her attention in front of her. Overall, that was way too close for comfort. If she had accidently became Ruby’s partner, if she had disrupted the chain of events, things would have turned sour from there. She could only thank whoever was controlling
In Idoru, by William Gibson, the idoru is more human than Laney. Rei Toei, the idoru, is a completely virtual media star, a synthespian. Laney is a quantitative analyst with a concentration deficit that he can adjust "into a state of pathological hyperfocus," thus enabling him to be "an extremely good researcher" (Gibson 30). Growing up in the Gainesville Federal Orphanage, Laney inadvertently restricted control over his future identity. Only considering the program's rewards, he voluntarily
and interpersonal relations take place in the real word” (Reis & Renzulli, 2009, p. 335). As the clusters are organized by the students’ interests and needs, there is a push within the model for product production connected to real world applications. The model also encourages students to participate in programs outside of school (extracurricular) such as: Future Problem Solving, Odyssey of the Mind, and the Model United Nations program (Reis & Renzulli, 2009, p. 335).

at the time period of Puritan New England was a main component in the Salem Witch Trials which The Crucible shows an example of. To put The Crucible in broader context, I read “Damned Women: Sinners and Witches in Puritan New England” by Elizabeth Reis and will use its main points to back up my thesis. The actual history of the Salem Witch trials took place in Massachusetts, Puritan New England. It was a series of trials of people being accused of witchcraft/ crimes against religion, many of those

Another common lie from women to be “I am a mother and would never harm another child.” (Reis). It would cause the judge to think about them hurting someone else's child, but it also usually never worked. A really famous claim used by a lot of people was that they weren't in the state at the time and couldn’t be the accused witch they were
well as for other occupations. Back in the early 1920s, it was the birth of a whole new sound. Not to be confused with the original first speaker. The actual first speaker was invented back in 1861 by a German teacher by the name of Johann Philipp Reis (EdisonTechCenter, 2013). It wasn’t until 1921 the first modern loudspeaker was invented (EdisonTechCenter, 2013). Speakers have shaped the world in so many ways that it’s impossible to name the world. Accordingly, just to name a few speakers have
in a woman’s feminine body was frail, submissive, and passive” (Reis 16). Due to this idea, women were more than a majority of those accused of witchcraft. Puritan’s believed that since women were weaker, they would not be able to fight back if satan assaulted them. “Puritans believed that Satan attacked the soul by assaulting the body, and that because women’s bodies were weaker, the devil could reach women’s souls more easily” (Reis 15). Likewise, a woman's soul was also thought to have been weaker

Her symptoms included wildly running around, diving under furniture, contorting in pain, and complaining of fever (Hoffer, Reis, Weisman).

Nurture refers to anything that one experiences throughout life. This is important because humans learn through a “change in behavior based on experiences”(Reis). Because humans learn through experiences, this shows that people are not born with their abilities. As Reis stated a person grows through trial and error, for example a baby is not born knowing how to drive a car, or how to act around others, these things one learns by experiencing and changing their
