What does the word POSH come from?

Just like Posh and Becks: Clergy have said they would be 'unfazed' by couples requesting a celebrity-style wedding (2012)


The POSH means is smart and fashionable. In Uran dictionary (2003) explain:"The word means rich, aristocratic, wealthy, loaded, fancy, toff, toffee nosed, upper crust, well off, or well to do. The origin of this word actually derives from an old Romany Gypsy slang word for pennies, i.e. if you've a lot of pennies, you're well to do, rich, etc. In this light, the word posh can be used as a term of light hearted derision."

Moreover, I like posh. Sometimes, I look at some books about trends information, and select some clothes suits me. Every item of the dress have own beautiful idea. Every people like different style. therefore, it makes me that I can give a person with clothes. But this is just my hobby.

Thanks

Supply chain management critical to the bottom line and business survival(2012)

 

Last week, I did a poster about my subject. That name is supply chain management. Of course I also did a presentation about it. Firstly, I check many information about supply chain. It needs many processes to finish, therefore the information is so important. At the same time, I was paste my poster to pick up the important things.  Secondly, my voice was so loudly because loudly voice can give a person leave deep impression, and it gave my more confidence. It seems that it makes me not afraid anythings. I knew that the Supply Chain Management is very good in the University of South Wales. This is my reason why I choose it. I heard someone said that my subject is so difficulty, but I like it because the logistics is so important now and so popular in the future. It is a good opportunity to me. Certainly, every presentation is so important, I have chance to show every audience. In final, I like answer any question from audience because I want to introduce for everyone. In the future, I also want to be a good logistics. It have been driving me forward.

These shared patterns identify the members of a culture group while also distinguishing those of another group.

Critical thinking

Version 1.
Basically, the critical thinking is that somebody expressing their original insights. I believe in this world there is a connection between everything, therefore, if you have any idea, you can use this idea to solve the problem. It looks like very creazy, but if you do it you can understand many of truth.

Sometimes, I usually watch some programs when I have free time. I like some words from experts, and they often have a thinking to solve. I like this feeling.

Version 2.

The critical thinking have different meaning. So I check the phrase in the dictionary.

The dictionary said : "is skillful and responsible thinking in which you study the problem from all angles, and then exercise your best judgment to draw conclusions. "
