This person is about the age of 13 or 14. His name is Titus. He is just another student to some, but to others he is a friend. He has a short, but very fat body. The size of Titus’s fingers look as if he has ten fat sausages on his hands, five on each. If someone was to guess what this student did in his free time they would say he eats, sleeps and plays video games for a living. Some would say this student is like a domesticated animal, he gets food, sleeps a lot and is cooped up in a room for long periods of time. His double XL sweatshirt fit nicely on his rather short but large body. On the front of the sweatshirt it read in big white letters “BEAST”. Beast…domesticated animal? This story writes itself. Some may wonder why Titus has this sweatshirt on considering his face was already covered with beads of sweat. It remained a mystery. Titus was sitting at the lunch table with his friends one day, he had just gotten done ordering his lunch. Having a plate full of greasy chicken nuggets and tater tots, the large child looked extremely happy. When he sat down with his friends they started taking his tater tots. The look on the large student’s face looked as if he had just lost an arm or a leg. Now noticing that he had lost an essential part of his existence, he went crazy. “Those are my tater tots you idiot” said Titus. “What are you going to do about it?” his friend said. “I guess I will just have to tell the FBI” He exclaimed. At that moment, the school alarms began…

FOR more than two decades Wittenoom in WA’s Pilbara region was a mining stronghold. The small country town which lies around 1400kms northeast of Perth was also, at one stage, the only place in Australia that produced blue asbestos. But when demand for the deadly mineral began to wane and fears of serious health concerns began to emerge, the operation was shut down in 1966. However it was another decade before authorities realised the blue dust that swept throughout the town was extremely…

Snapshots for Don. Start of the fun Sue (my wife) and I were sitting in the coffee shop with our long-time friend Liz having our weekly coffee. We usually met up every Thursday evening just to catch up on things with Liz and her husband. Liz was by herself that day because her husband, (Don) was across the world.

managers were in the company, the better the profits would be as it would benefit them as well. All of these factors are present in big businesses today. Corporations today still follow Carnegie’s lead. Carnegie designed a structure where he could run the mills while controlling the costs, he “cut the prices; scoop the market;run the mills full”; and then “watch the costs and the profits will take care of themselves”(111). Carnegie was also among the first to use the method of vertical…
