..."hot" and statos or "a standing". Cornelius Drebble (1572-1634), a Dutch engraver and glassworker, invented the first thermostat in the early 1600’s, which was the first the automatic temperature control device. The thermostat was spawned from an elaborate toy he designed which operated on the basis of changes in the atmospheric pressure and temperature. The thermostat was created for a chicken and duck egg incubator and was the first mercury device that would hold the temperature constant. Around the same time frame, Drebble also invented the first self-regulating oven damper that was also mercury controlled. As the temperature went up, the damper would be closed by a primitive mercury switch. When the temperature cooled, the mercury would contract and open the damper adding oxygen to increase the fire. Before thermostats, the only way we could control the temperature of a home was to manually open or close the fireplace damper/ flu or open a window to regulate heat. Albert Butz, (1849-1905) was a Swiss born inventor, businessman and the father of the modern automated control industry, made a resemblance of today’s thermostat in 1885. It had an electric flap and an alarm to modulate the furnaces air supply and output. Over the years, this prototype was modified by a series of improvements and tweaks, eventually THE HISTORY OF THERMOSTATS leading to the modern thermostat. The company Butz founded to commercialize his invention was called the Butz Thermo-Electric Regulator...

...injury, and diseases (The Ethics of Factory Farming, 2010). Animals that are succumbed to these conditions not only are physically harmed, but “the structure of factory farming ensures that even the animals’ most fundamental needs—clean air, sunshine, freedom from chronic pain and illness—are denied them” (Ending Factory Farming, 2010). It is obvious that factory farming does not take into consideration the needs and rights of animals. Common animals that are subjected to factory farms are chickens, cows, and pigs. The most common animal I’ve heard and seen footage of the mistreatment are chickens. When talking about chickens, the ones who are wanted for their meat are called broiler chickens. These chickens are raised in incubators with the sounds of automated feeding machines and cooling systems, so needless to say, they don’t rest much. They are prone to injury and illness from the cages they are forcibly squeezed into. Often times the cages become soiled with excretions, which in turn releases ammonia in the air—that causes burns to the chickens. A documentary I saw showed how many times when they are grabbing a chicken out from or into a cage, a chicken or two will get there heads stuck when they shut the cage again. So these chickens will have parts of their necks severed. Also some chickens will start pecking at each other, which can cause infections and just making the living conditions even worse. Another common animal would be cows. They are constantly exploited for...

...K & N’s Foods Private Limited | March 12 2012 | Strategic Business Plan | Zubash Jawed080612BBA-8A | PREFACE INTRODUCTION STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT PROCESS Strategic management of an organization entails three ongoing processes: Analysis, Decision and Actions. In Analysis, the strategic goals (vision, mission and goals) along with internal and external environmental of the organization are analyzed. In decisions, the managers must take two important decisions regarding which industries to compete in and how to compete in the selected industry? And finally some actions should be taken because decisions are of little use unless they are acted on. At the heart of strategic management is a very important question: “How and why do some organizations outperform others?” So the managers have a challenge to decide on strategies that provide advantages that can be sustained over time. Mr. Robert Lamb defines strategic management as: an ongoing process that evaluates and controls the business and the industries in which the company is involved; assesses its competitors and sets goals and strategies to meet all existing and potential competitors; and then reassesses each strategy annually or quarterly [i.e. regularly] to determine how it has been implemented and whether it has succeeded or needs replacement by a new strategy to meet changed circumstances, new technology, new competitors, a new economic environment., or a new social, financial, or political environment.

...State of the Nation Address of His Excellency Benigno S. Aquino III President of the Philippines To the Congress of the Philippines [This is an English translation of the SONA delivered at the Session Hall of the House of Representatives, Batasang Pambansa Complex, Quezon City, on July 22, 2013] This is my fourth SONA; only two remain. Almost four years have passed since I was approached by various camps to urge me to run for the presidency. They said: “We know that our country’s problems cannot be solved in the blink of an eye, in one year, or even within the six-year term of a President. But just begin, and we will be one with you in nurturing change.” Even then, I was aware of the significant problems that I would have to face. From being a candidate, to being President, or even after I step down from office, the difficulties I will have to face are no joke. Widespread transformation of society is my objective, and I am aware that there are many things and many people I would have to confront in order to achieve this. But I was not raised by my parents to back down in the face of challenges. I would not be able to live with myself if I had refused the chance to alleviate the suffering the Filipino should not have to endure. We have answered the call, and those who have been with us from the start have only grown in number. I believe that if what I have been doing is right, then our allies will only grow. Just this May, I asked you, Boss, are we going in the right direction...
