The guard and he both look over at the brunette leaning against the tiles. Left to himself, Shane hums a tune. This is one he's been working all afternoon. He can hone it while he plays on the street. At the club with his band, he'll have to stick to the set and be more discreet.
Like most men at the station, Shane eyes Katerina, a 21-year-old brunette bombshell. Though he's well-practiced at flirting, Katerina can easily tell. Well used to the attention, she briefly makes eye contact with Shane and coquettishly looks down at her leather boots. She'd never let on that thinks Shane is cute. On her way to a job interview in a tweed miniskirt, Katerina contemplates what she might say. Job interviews make her nervous and she inwardly prays. A devout Catholic, Katerina wants to work with kids. The preschool she is heading toward is, in her words, in the middle of "the skids." Katerina is more...
Her upbringing taught her to cultivate strength over fear.
A curious and lighthearted 85-year-old, Tiller mentally annotates the seemingly chaotic world around him and can't wait to tell his wife about it all when he gets home. He watches Zarina, Shane and Katerina wait for the train, making him feel less alone. Gus tells their stories with sensitivity and grace. His narration of their collective ordeal evokes the real-life fears all readers face. None of them were prepared for the excitement of that day.

They all know that what they face could potentially affect the entire nation. Throughout the story, each character faces a serious choice. Gus Tiller reveals the story in his own unique voice.
Shane (1953) by George Stevens is a film about a gun-toting man -- neither a man of the law nor a lawless man nor a cowboy for that matter -- who comes across a frontier that is burdened with conflict and oppression largely due to the violent reign of a cattle baron named Rufus Ryker and his henchmen. In true hero form, Shane sides with the oppressed -- particularly the
Shane sits on his sofa for hours on end, the remote control in hand, surfing through dozens of stations looking for something worthwhile to watch. Being a couch potato makes him sorely out of shape, but watching television also has a detrimental effect on his mind. I blame his attitude on the news: hours of sensational and bloody business. As a result of watching so many hours of the news,
Western films, "Shane," made in 1953 and directed by George Stevens, and "Unforgiven," made in 1992 and directed by Clint Eastwood. Specifically, it will analyze the two films, and discuss their importance in the genre of Western films. Today, the classic Western is a film gone out of style, but these two films live on as classics, generally because they deviate from the classic Western model, by showing the
FEED Resource Recovery FEEDs source of competition in the short- and long-term The major source of competition for FEED is their introduction of a decentralized program, as most of the huge manufacturers of waste management have ignored the small market segment including grocery markets. Therefore, this targeted strategy in focusing only on the small segment of the industry and starting the decentralized anaerobic program. In addition, Europe also has targeted on the
It takes insightful analysis of the key success factors from the customers' perspective while a strong commitment to re-orient internal, back-office systems to support customer-driven criterion. The examples of the e-commerce industry, which is known for increasing returns and being highly differentiated on knowledge, show how quickly the network effect can serve as an accelerator for second movers to gain customer base in a relatively short period of time.

Hybrid Consumer Vehicles: Where on the S-Curve? For this case study, I have selected the hybrid car as the technology of interest. Hybrid cars have been a steady presence in the consumer auto market since the early 2000s. Toyota's Prius is the best-known example and has the largest market share, which is set to expand into other market niches with the development of subcompact and hatch/crossover versions of the Prius.
