.... S. HERRICK CO. v. MAINE WILD BLUEBERRY CO. Supreme Judicial Court of Maine, 1996. 670 A.2d 944. BACKGROUND AND FACTS E. S. Herrick Company grows and sells blueberries. Maine Wild Blueberry Company agreed to buy all of Herricks 1990 crop under a contract that left the price unliquidated. Herrick delivered the berries, but a dispute arose over the price. Maine Wild sent Herrick a check with a letter that stated the check was the final settlement. Herrick cashed the check but filed a suit in a Maine state court against Maine Wild, on the ground of breach of contract, alleging that the buyer owed more. The court awarded Herrick some, but not all, of the damages sought. Both parties appealedHerrick contended that it was owed more, and Maine Wild that it owed less. Question* * * [A]n accord and satisfaction is created by cashing a check that is accompanied by a letter bearing restrictive language. * * * * Maine Wild considered the check to be the final payment. Herricks president admitted that he read the letter that included the language regarding final settlement but interpreted it as a statement made by Maine Wild not as a condition between them. He admits that he cashed the check, but that it did not occur to him that by cashing the check he was surrendering any claim under the contract. * * * The language in the letter, however, was unambiguous. It represented final settlement, and there is no exchange of correspondence of such a nature as to create doubt as to what Maine...

...the story, “Blackberries for Amelia”, the first stanza describes the blueberry bushes and how they grow in abundance. The second stanza is similar in the way it describes the blueberry bushes, but it describes for what the bushes look like; flowers, small and chalky white, some deep within the bushes and others covering the outside, some close and others far. The third stanza is where it starts to create depth. The first part of the stanza says, “As the far stars, of which we now are told that even faster do they bolt away” is talking about summer nights, and time in general, and how fast it goes. The second part says, “We shall have only blackness to behold” which essentially states that the speaker believes there isn’t much time left for him/her. The fourth stanza, is basically saying that although the speaker does not have a lot of time left, he/she will be there to see August and the blueberries arrive. Finally, the last stanza describes the speaker and the grandchild, most likely Amelia, going out and picking the blueberries together. I personally liked this poem and the simplistic story it told. In my opinion it was about the simple things. The speaker talked about the blueberry bushes and flowers is such intimate detail. He then described death in such a peaceful way as he had no fear of it. Then he speaks of how he has August to look forward to and how he can’t wait to be out picking blueberries with his grandchild. It was just a story of things the speaker enjoyed...

Do you know the Muffin Man, Who lives on Drury Lane? Yes I know the Muffin Man, The Muffin Man, the Muffin Man. Yes I know the Muffin Man Who lives on Drury Lane. The historical context of “Do you know the Muffin Man” goes back to around 1820, the time when the first known manuscript of this rhyme that the street had degraded into rat-infested lodging houses and tenements housing the poorest Londoners. English muffins were cheap and accessible back in the United Kingdom for the poor residents in the 19th Century. In the rhyme, the Muffin Man would be described wearing a long apron and his stock on a tray on top of his head or around his neck-baring his wares in the streets. There was a rumor that the rhyme had some connection to child abuse. Around 1989, a TV movie was starring Pam Dawber called Do You Know the Muffin Man? And it seemed to have fueled that rumor. It centered on the satanic ritualistic abuse of children at a daycare center and though it is a work of fiction, the references known cases of ill-treatment, caused “a backlash headed by Michael A. Aquino, a High Priest of the Temple of Set.” Work Cited "Origins: Do You Know the Muffin Man?" TreasuryIslands. N.p., 04 Jan. 2012. Web. 08 Sept....

...leads to scarcity and opportunity cost. The term “shortage” refers to the amount by which quantity demanded exceeds the quantity supplied at the current price of the good. This is not the same as scarcity because it can be fixed by a change in price, bringing the price back to equilibrium. The supply and demand curves are not shifting, the price and quantities are moving along the curves. Economic theory argues that we “can’t have it all” because our wants are unlimited, but our resources are limited. We must make choices pertaining to how our resources are used, and we must make choices of which goods to purchase because we simply do not have the resources to have everything we want. MY SITUATION: I can produce two goods: blueberry muffins and chocolate chip cookie bars. I am the only one making the goods, so I am the only labor resource. I have several different capital...

It is calculated as the ratio of the amount of outputs produced to some measure of the amount of input used. Productivity = Quantity of goods and services produced Amount of resources used As the equation indicates, there are two variables in measuring productivity- the amount of production and amount of resources used. Productivity varies with the amount of production relative to the amount of resources used. Productivity can be increased in several ways, which Are given below here- 1.

...This is my 4th post on the subject of enhancing my child memory I will be discussing about the importance of having a good dietary diet. You’ve probably heard that certain foods can help your memory improve, and will allow you to think with better clarity. “But what foods are actually considered brain foods?” you may ask. Believe it or not, there are a copious amount of foods that protect your brain, improving how good it’ll work, and can even generate new brain cells. Yes, you read it right… new brain cells! You can still generate new brain cells–even when you’re an adult. A common myth recently espoused that brain cells quit occurring once you’ve reached adulthood, but reputable and prolific new research has debunked this myth. Regardless of how old you are, you can make new brain cells. Keep in mind that all cells need nutrients to continue their growth. This means your brain needs foods that will give it the building blocks it needs to work right. When you have more neurons and connections within your brain, it means you have a stronger memory and your mind can work better. Keep your life’s memories alive longer, and sharper than ever, with these six foods that will help keep your brain whole and healthy: 1 – Build Your Brain: Healthy Fats The majority of the cell structure in the brain consists of healthy fats, including the most important healthy fats, called Omega-3 fatty acids. As the brain continues to fix itself and grow additional neurons...

...Discuss the shifts in demand and supply and the impact on prices and the profitability of individual producers that occurred in the cranberry industry in 2006-2007 resulting from the following facts: 1. Cranberries are no longer relegated to a Thanksgiving side dish. They can now be found in more than 2,000 products from muffin mix to soap. 2. Ocean Spray and other growers have unleashed a steady flow of new products, including new low-calorie drinks such as Diet Ocean Spray. The company has also introduced a line of “Grower’s Reserve” 100% natural juices, including a “Super Antioxidant” variety with blueberry, pomegranate, and cranberry juices. Last year Ocean Spray has its most successful year ever, posting $2 billion in revenue with 30% from outside the U.S. [1] Ocean Spray Cooperative has one of the great success stories in agricultural marketing cooperatives. Over the past 80 years the company has struggled in several industry dynamics, pricing, supply, demand issues, and macroeconomic factors but has overcome and be a leader in manufacturing and agricultural products. Cultivated cranberry production can be traced back to the 1800’s when Henry Hull, a ship captain based in Cape Cod notices that wild cranberries flourished when sand blew over them. he transplanted vines to what he called “cranberry yards” and manually spread sand to encourage growth. This practice proved successful, and by the 1850s, cranberry production had expanded both on the Cape and...
