...VIDEO CASE – CHAPTER 1 MUCHO BURRITO 1ST ANNUAL GHOST PEPPER BURRITO EATING CONTEST Mucho Burrito, created in 2006 by Canadian entrepreneurs Mark Rechichi, Alex Rechichi, and Sean Black, was a fast-food opportunity that capitalized on healthier and tastier food trends. “Mexican food was underdeveloped at that time and what most Canadians experienced as ‘Mexican’ was not delicious, authentic Mexican cuisine,” states Norm Pickering, director of marketing, North America, for Mucho Burrito. He explains that in 2006, other than Taco Bell and a few independent restaurants, Canadian consumers had little choice when it came to Mexican food. Mucho Burrito gave Canadians a new alternative: reasonably priced, good-quality Mexican food in a fast-casual restaurant. Its mission from inception was to provide customers with unmatched Mexican flavour with the freshest and best-quality burritos—made right in front of their eyes. By 2015, Mucho Burrito had grown to over 115 franchise locations in Canada with additional locations in the U.S. The fast-food market is fiercely competitive, and today, Mexican food is one of the hottest food trends in Canada. Taco Bell is a mainstay with its inexpensive, lower-quality “Tex-Mex” food, but there are new U.S. competitors in Canada, such as Chipotle Mexican Grill and Qboda, focusing on higher-quality, fast-casual Mexican fare. Various popular, local, independent establishments also exist, such as Big Fat Burrito, Burrito Boyz, and Fat Bastards. Quick-service...

...children live in families and learn a lot by observing and teaching, and know what is wrong or right, should or shouldn’t . In Vietnamese families, fathers and mothers play the most important role in educating children. Fathers symbolize intelligence, will, and family discipline to unite children-especially sons. Mothers who are often careful, close to children everyday, find out and timely shape misleading, and better at raising children lifestyle. With tender and tactful attitude, mothers convert, persuade and teach children to love even when they grow up. Key words: Children, education, family, socialization, Vietnam A.C. Macarenco what parents do for children before the age of 5 is 90% of the result of educating (Chuong, 2000). Therefore, wanting children to fully develop their character, and not opposed with social requirements, families must educate children from the early age make hay when the sun shines. What learnt in the cradle lasts till the tomb However, families play an important role not only in the early period of human character building (provide social experience, rear, look after, train habits and skills from the...

...dangerous. Discuss’ In the novel ‘Of Mice and Men’ by John Steinbeck, the character of Curley’s Wife shows an array of different personal qualities, emotions, needs, and desires- all of which lead her to her inevitable demise. These include stupidity and danger, but also innocence and mentality. Steinbeck portrays her as an attractive, attention-seeking young woman who grew up too fast; she gave up on her dreams to become a neglected housewife who endures sexism on a daily basis. With no-one to confide in, she becomes a flirtatious weapon, a threat to the ranch’s labourers, resulting in a vicious circle that ends only when she dies. Is she futile and dangerous? Or deep and manipulating? Curley’s Wife is smart enough to use her physical appearance to her advantage, yet stupid enough to let men take advantage of her. She’s innocent enough to believe she could be a movie star, but fatal enough to exploit Lennie and delude others. She is frequently referred to as “jailbait” and a “rat-trap” by the other characters, proving that, despite her efforts to associate with them, they will never respect her and instead view her as no more than a sexual object. By showing how the other characters treat her, and how Curley’s Wife reacts to this abuse, you could argue that Steinbeck was very ahead of his time, and unusually aware of issues such as sexism that penetrated 20th Century America. Male characters, including Candy and George, have no moral value for her whatsoever: “I think...

...ENGINEERING ETHICS The Kansas City Hyatt Regency Walkways Collapse Department of Philosophy and Department of Mechanical Engineering Texas A&M University NSF Grant Number DIR-9012252 Negligence And The Professional "Debate" Over Responsibility For Design Instructor's Guide - Introduction To The Case On July 17, 1981, the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Kansas City, Missouri, held a videotaped tea-dance party in their atrium lobby. With many party-goers standing and dancing on the suspended walkways, connections supporting the ceiling rods that held up the second and fourth-floor walkways across the atrium failed, and both walkways collapsed onto the crowded first-floor atrium below. The fourth-floor walkway collapsed onto the second-floor walkway, while the offset third-floor walkway remained intact. As the United States' most devastating structural failure, in terms of loss of life and injuries, the Kansas City Hyatt Regency walkways collapse left 114 dead and in excess of 200 injured. In addition, millions of dollars in costs resulted from the collapse, and thousands of lives were adversely affected. The hotel had only been in operation for approximately one year at the time of the walkways collapse, and the ensuing investigation of the accident revealed some unsettling facts: During January and February, 1979, the design of the hanger rod connections was changed in a series of events and disputed communications between the fabricator (Havens Steel Company) and the engineering design...

...I was probably 4 or 5 when Sailor Moon became a huge part of my childhood. I would wake up, pour myself a bowl of cereal and sit in front of the TV and watch the titular character beat up bad guys alongside her friends. Besides some embarrassing Halloween costumes this show didn’t have that much effect on my young life but it planted a seed. As I grew up and anime became more and more popular amongst my friends I became more interested in the Japanese culture and the seed began to bloom. For this assignment I decided to choose to further examine this culture using the Symbolic Interaction Theory, Structural Functionalism Theory, Social Exchange Theory and the Ecological Theory. Through this we will explore how the Japanese still live by rather traditional cultural standards compared to our own. A Factual History Japan has a land mass bigger then Germany but smaller then Calfifornia and has a population of 127.3 million residents (Sherpa, 2014). Tokyo, which contains 13 million people within the city and additional 32.5 million people in the surrounding area, is the capital city and additionally the largest metropolitan area in the world (Lovino, 2014). Due to this accommodations are cramped, doors slide open to save room, apartments can be the size of a walk in closet and hotels are developed that only offer you a capsule to sleep in (Lovino, 2014). Another famous aspect of this cramped culture is the subway system which is used by millions each day and has staff which is...

...This is problematic, as structures of lesbian sexuality are more “complex, contradictory, and diverse” than current research indicates (Roof 1991). They are rarely analyzed as a significant factor in the development of intimacy, commitment, parental and domestic roles, and child rearing in discussions of lesbian sexuality. This must not be overlooked because butch lesbians are a unique demographic of mothers. They are accountable for their masculinity and sexuality, whereas lesbians oriented towards femininity are able to pass as heterosexual. The few studies on butch lesbian mothering suggest that cultural attitudes and mainstream media contribute to a disconnect between lesbianism, motherhood, child-raising, and stable relationships (see, for example, Epstein 2002; Ryan 2013). Spargo (1999) scholars have been deterred from producing analysis of butch and femme identities – an important aspect of lesbian culture – as to not produce discord in the linear progression of the movement. This coincides with the aforementioned theory put forward by Kawash (2011). The growth of queer politics has contributed to the absence of scholarship considering butch and femme identities...

...Lifespan Development and Personality PSY 103 (Introduction to Psychology) Lifespan Development and Personality Middle adulthood has been seen as a variety of different ages depending on the source you choose to believe. Oxford English Dictionary defines “middle-age” as the period of life between young adulthood and old age, now usually regarded as between about 45 and 60 years of age. The U.S. Census describes middle age as including the age categories of 35-44 and 45-54, and the Collins Dictionary considers it approximately between the ages of 41-60. No matter how it is viewed middle adulthood or middle age is arguably the most defining time of a person’s life. I will explain the factors that affect physical and cognitive development in most people as they reach these stages in life. First, let’s explore the physical affects. As we begin to get older it is almost inevitable to notice the physical changes that our bodies take as we age. Although some may age quicker or slower than others depend on the environment you live in and/or your genetic background. Slower metabolism, lose of organ functions such as eyesight and hearing loss and even gender specific ailments such as erectile dysfunction in men and menopause in women. These changes have no bias regarding race, ethnic background or social-economic class, as we get older our bodies start to change. Although many of these changes are biological in nature, there are certain that we do that can decrease or speed up...

...information about when and where the soldier died, and it gave the family closure.Clara’s interest in Nursing all began at a young age and it brought her to do great things. Clarissa Harlowe Barton was born on December 25th 1821 in Oxford, Massachusetts. Her parents were Captain Stephen and Sarah Barton. She had four siblings Dorothy ,Stephen ,David and Sally. Three siblings became school teachers, and she would follow in becoming a school teacher as well. When Clara became older a near tragedy took place. To her brother Clara who was ten years old at the time showed that she was meant to be a nurse. The summer of 1832 her family was hosting a barn raising at their house. This was a social gathering where friends and family would come to help the family raise the barn roof. While they were attaching rafters of the new roof ,David fell from the rooftop. David had symptoms of a headache and a fever after the fall. The family physician not having much medical knowledge, believed that the fever was a result of having “too much blood”. He felt that the only way for David to become well again was to “bleed” David. To “bleed” David meant they would put blood sucking leeches on his body. After several weeks of this treatment he showed no improvement. Doctors told the Barton family that this was a hopeless case , but Clara refused to give up. She recalled “from the first days and nights of illness I remained near his side. I could not be taken away from him, except by compulsion, and...

Boushey wrote this article stating her negative opinion toward today’s economy and how it affects family values. First, Boushey believes that mothers leaving the home to join the workforce has a negative effect on the well-being of our families and our family values, and secondly persuading us to measure how well our current American economy works for our families. Towards the end of the article Boushey tries to convince us, as voters to take action, by starting at home and telling our leaders that we will pay attention to work/life issues.

...and attitude towards Ireland. As noted by Deirdre Toomey in the Introduction to Yeats and Women, by 1890s Yeats had freed himself from the power of strong paternal influences and transferred his allegiance from men to women. He saw women not merely as “icons, sexual objects, muses, but as companions, mentors, fellow-workers” (xvi). He was vastly influenced by Madame Blavatsky and the Theosophical society. Dorothea Butler’s “purity of Irish vision” greatly influenced his thought and poetry. He looked at the British domination of Ireland as ‘raping of the land’ and sought to participate in the Irish National movement evoking an ecofeminist discourse by invoking the various Irish cultural paradigms. II Ecofeminism calls for consciousness raising, healing, and a communion with nature. ‘It is best thought of less as a movement than a philosophy- or perhaps not a movement at all . . . [It is] a way of re-regarding the world that can be brought to bear on a whole variety of movements and tendencies’ (Sale 304). There is little action; rather there is a call for concern and involvement in crucial issues. Leila Brammer says that “Ecofeminists do participate in the formation of ideology and recruitment in that, conferences and books are explicitly for the development and spread of ecofeminist thought. The message has spread . . . But, Ecofeminism has not resulted in collective action in a way Black Power as a philosophy did . . . Rhetorical analysis is the key to understanding phenomena...

You get a feeling of strong family values with military discipline mixed in. I expect to get a better understanding of a man who made history as the first African American president in American history. Looking deeper into the cover you see a diverse background to give me a feeling of someone who could have had a hard time with racial identity. A feeling of moving from place to place with a different idea of how people view you. every place never really knowing who you really are.

...child, who was sleeping peacefully in her cot. He took the child to spite her, to break her heart like she broke his. But it all backfired on him as he now had to bear the burden of raising a child he claims to not love. He roamed the Australian outback as a swaggie, searching for jobs whilst ‘caring’ for a four-year-old girl named Buster. 2. Re-read Tommy Goorianawa’s prophetic words to Macauley on page 14-15. “Some men are like a wheel…… Yet such men are not always contented. They’re looking for something, but they don’t know what it is …….” What do you think Macauley is “looking for” or needs, even if he doesn’t know it? Justify your answer carefully. Macauley is a man who has never really known what he needs or has ever fought for what he truly wants. He believes that he can go through his life never settling down or fully committing himself to anything. He seems to be arrogant and he doesn’t look at the bigger picture. Tommy Goorianawa’s words aim to make Macauley realise that he has to learn to be content with himself and his life or he will never be truly happy. Macauley seems to be looking for a life that is not like his own. He wants to have a real reason to settle down and have a stable job. 3. Macauley has many ugly or bad qualities as well as some strengths or good points in his character. Build up a table of his good and bad points – include page references.

By having all of the nautical symbols decorating the room, everyone is constantly reminded of who we are as women in this sorority. When I first saw the decorations the house I knew that I was home, something about the nautical theme fills this house with joy. In this house there are also cream colored roses scattered throughout different rooms, this is because the cream colored rose is Delta Gamma’s official flower. This is the only sorority to specifically have their own flower that does not belong to any other organization. These unique decorations gives the house character and positive stamina throughout the house. By having flowers throughout the house, the rooms are always filled with a sweet scent that reminds me of home. House appearances typically speak volumes. Meaning, by just looking at a house, one may judge the appearance based on if the lawn is cut, plants are living, and whether or not the house appears to be in good condition. This house is always picture-perfect, part of being a DG is the women hold each other to high standards. This includes our appearances, which goes beyond the house. I talked to a current Delta Gamma who lives in the house and she said that “the house is so inviting, by just looking at the outside I am filled with happiness” (Gottsch).
