Many police departments and other law enforcement agencies do not have the necessary resources or training to effectively investigate and prevent kidnappings.
The setting of the book appears to have a big influence so far in the story; the reason being the main characters are animals and the setting takes place in a barn. Major reminds me of someone who appears majestic and is fairly important, which others would look up to. The beginning of the book reminds me of Charlotte’s Web because it gives the same feeling of fiction when the animals begin to talk. I was curious to know what ‘tushes’ on a boar was from page 26 in paragraph 1, so I found the definition and discovered that it is the long teeth that the pigs have. Boxer reminds me a football player because he is tough and huge.
Jack Welch created wealth while managing GE, in the 1980s he started to notice the necessities of the company.

He started buying well developed business and sold off the parts of those business that would not make huge profit or were not number one or two in their specific market. 2.)
The first way the book turns the concept of “ business as usual” as it relates to teaching, learning, and school communities on its head is how the school is set up and the appearance of the school. The school is located in an old factory. When I was reading about the school, I realized that the school is very different from any other school I have been too. The thing that make this school unique and different, is in the middle of their lobby, they have a big blue slide that they have their students and quests that came to visit their school, slide down. Instead of having a staircase they put a big blue slide.
Chromium is a transitional element, with three stable forms. It is a neutrally charged stable form, but naturally occurs in the environment. Trivalent chromium is a +3 charge stable form of chromium that can be naturally oxidized from its neutrally charged version, occurring in the environment (Mertz et al., 1974; Barrett et al., 1985; Alexander et al., 1990). Hexavalent chromium is a +6 charge stable form of chromium which is the product of industry, and it is very toxic to living things. Hexavalent chromium may be reduced naturally in the environment to the less harmful trivalent chromium.

In the case of Intuit, Steve Bennett refocused the company’s development strategy to make it more customer-driven. The focus on entering new markets and developing new products took advantage of the pre-existing entrepreneurial spirit of the company but at the same time added strategic focus, addressing the more laid-back culture of Intuit. This made the organisational culture change easier for employees to adapt to and his smart leveraging of the existing culture allowed the company to achieve double-digit revenue growth in his first year.

Good role models lead by example. I have always thought of managers as a live billboard of how to present them in the workplace and exude the organization’s vision through their leadership. If management falls short then the employees will not be enthusiastic. Management is there to demonstrate how leadership can engage employees and motivate them to excel and develop their abilities for the position they were hired for. Julia has the potential to be an excellent role model for the employees.
