...Down East Spud Busters is a company located in northern Maine and eastern Canada. They are a part of a conglomerate that represent the potato growers of northern Maine and Eastern Canada and also oversee the collection, processing and distribution of potatoes and potato products. They have functioned as a local cooperative for years. They have a local center where potatoes are simply weighed, washed, graded, bagged and distributed in various size and weight bags. They have recently built a large manufacturing building in northern Maine with a new focus on higher value products which will include a frozen division line, (French fries, gourmet stuffed potatoes and the like) a dried food division line, (instant mashed potatoes, potato pancake mix etc.) and the traditional potato food line. Bu doing this, they hope to increase their revenue by three times the amount they are currently generating. The next phase of their project calls for a nationwide distribution and sales program. Their major strategy is to recruit the right sales force and develop a system for selling and distributing the product. Down East Spud Busters is currently leading towards the concepts of hiring sales associates who will work out of their homes in strategic locations around the United States. The sales associates hired will then be responsible for a number of things involving meeting a quota, overseeing the sale and any other issues with the sale. The final stage of their plan is to eventually build...

...Zeleeza evora January 22, 2016 Essay ` In the town of East Ville there is a debate going on between, Tom Green and Jessica Ramirez. Jessica Ramirez believes that the whole restorations of the old building should not happen. She claims that it would be better if the town of east Ville had a park instead of wasting money on restoring building. Jessica Ramirez replies to the citizens of east Ville that, “the restorations of these three building will not be cheap; it might be a million-dollar budget could easily turn into a two-million-dollar debt.” Tom Green believes different than Jessica, he believes that the buildings, if restored, will attract tourists and bring more taxes dollars to the city. Tom Green replies to the citizens that, “easts Ville has been known for its quaint and charming houses and shops and for the beautiful countryside surroundings them, the promise of a park will do nothing to make up for the loss of the local architectural style. Jessica Ramirez does not believe that Toms Green’s idea is best for the town. Jessica thinks that the restoration of the buildings will cost a lot of money, and but “could turn into two-million-dollar debt.” The restorations will be expensive but it would attract more tourist to see new building and also the tax money would come back to the city of east Ville. Unlike if there was a park they wouldn’t get any money back what so ever while creating the park. Jessica and the city would waste money on buying swing sets...

...company makes to decide the most efficient, productive, and ethical way to make money and generate customers. For example, starting any form of business has a need for research into the goal customer and the competition. Tri-County Center is the leading center for providing assistance to mentally disabled adults in East Tennessee. The clients are able to live in their own homes and earn money by working for factories. Some of the clients are there while their parent or guardian is at work, in which case they still work, just in the ware house of the center. Through research Tri-County Center has taken business of other facilities because of the freedom they offer for the clients. The founder of Tri-County Center wanted a place where he could watch over his younger brother without leaving him in a nursing home or mental institution. He also wanted his brother to be able to make choices on what he wanted, when he wanted. The facility has grown in the past ten years because the center allows the clients to earn money, spend the money on what they want. It also offers the older clients, who have no family a safe place to work and live. The others facilities that have shut down were more like nursing homes, only allowing the clients certain times to do certain things, and they were unable to live like individuals who have no mental disabilities. Thanks to this non-profit organization mentally disabled adults can live more independently...

If you find and correct errors in the text, please update the version number by 0.1 and redistribute.] To Juliet and Rosamond, remembering the road to Stratford-on-Avon Note Nuthanger Farm is a real place, like all the other places in the book. But Mr. and Mrs. Cane, their little girl Lucy and their farmhands are fictitious and bear no intentional resemblance to any persons known to me, living or dead. Acknowledgements I acknowledge with gratitude the help I have received not only from my family but also from my friends Reg Sones and Hal Summers, who read the book before publication and made valuable suggestions. I also wish to thank warmly Mrs. Margaret Apps and Miss Miriam Hobbs, who took pains with the typing and helped me very much. I am indebted, for a knowledge of rabbits and their ways, to Mr. R. M. Lockley's remarkable book, The Private Life of the Rabbit. Anyone who wishes to know more about the migrations of yearlings, about pressing chin glands, chewing pellets, the effects of over-crowding in warrens, the phenomenon of re-absorption of fertilized embryos, the capacity of buck rabbits to fight stoats, or any other features of Lapine life, should refer to that definitive work.

...For the reasons which have determined the existence of Sussex as a county of England, and which have given it the exact boundaries that it now possesses, we must go back to the remote geological history of the secondary ages. Its limits and its very existence as a separate shire were predetermined for it by the shape and consistence of the mud or sand which gathered at the bottom of the great Wealden lake, or filled up the hollows of the old inland cretaceous sea. Paradoxical as it sounds to say so, the Celtic kingdom of the Regni, the South Saxon principality of AElle the Bretwalda, the modern English county of Sussex, have all had their destinies moulded by the geological conformation of the rock upon which they repose. Where human annals see only the handicraft and interaction of human beings--Euskarian and Aryan, Celt and Roman, Englishman and Norman--a closer scrutiny of history may perhaps see the working of still deeper elements--chalk and clay, volcanic upheaval and glacial denudation, barren upland and forest-clad plain. The value and importance of these underlying facts in the comprehension of history has, I believe, been very generally overlooked; and I propose accordingly here to take the single county of Sussex in detail, in order to show that when the geological and geographical factors of the problem are given, all the rest follows as a matter of course. By such detailed treatment alone can one hope to establish the truth of the general principle that human history...

...I have done my report on trisomy 21. This disease was later named Down Syndrome. In 1866 a doctor named John Langdon Down first saw some children that were similar to some other mentally retarded children. He had no idea what this disease was, but was the first person to study it. As time went on medicine became more advanced. In 1959 a French doctor named Jerome Legeune saw people who had this unknown disease, and that they had 47 chromosomes instead of 46 chromosomes. This disease was then given a name, trisomy 21. Trisomy means triplication, so the chromosomes triple on the 21st chromosome. Doctors also called this disease Down Syndrome because the first person who studied it was John Langdon Down. Down Syndrome is caused by a mess-up in cell splitting called non-disjunction. Non-disjunction happens 95 % of all Down Syndrome cases. Scientists still don’t know why non-disjunction occurs, but it seems to have different effects on ages of women. For example, women that are 35 years old have a one in 400 chance of giving birth to a baby with Down Syndrome. While if your 40, the chances go to one in 110, and if your 45 the odds climb to one in 35. Three to four percent of all the cases of Down Syndrome are from Robertsonian Translocation. This happens when there are two breaks in the 14th and 21st chromosome. Then the 14th chromosome is switched with the extra 21st chromosome. Some of these cases triple on part of the 21st chromosome instead of the whole. ...

...“We will never have true civilization until we have learned to recognize the rights of others.” Once said Will Rogers. This is true as we continue to become a diverse melting pot of different personalities, situations, and races. The topic that will be discussed today is the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA). The topics that will be covered will consist of the law itself, any amendments, and most importantly ADA rights to the employee. First lets discuss the ADA act of 1990. According to Snell and Bohlander’s book Managing Human Resources “the ADA, prohibits employers from discriminating against individuals with physical and mental disabilities and the chronically ill.” This law is to be enforced to any employer with 15 or more employees. According to Snell’s and Bohlander’s book “The law defines a disability as “(a) physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more of the major activities; (b) a record of such impairment; or (c) being regarded as having such an impairment.” Note the law also protects people “Regarded” as having a disability- for example, individuals with disfiguring burns. (1) This is particularly important for one to know especially in a management role. Since the regarded part of the ADA act of 1990 can be very broad and subjective. Another important piece of information is that the law says that as a hiring manager or company one is not allowed to ask the potential employee what their disability is. In addition one can...

...Down syndrome (DS) or Down's syndrome, also known as trisomy 21, is a chromosomal condition caused by the presence of all or part of a third copy of chromosome 21.[1] Down syndrome is the most common chromosome abnormality in humans.[2] It is typically associated with a delay in cognitive ability (mental retardation, or MR) and physical growth, and a particular set of facial characteristics.[1] The average IQ of young adults with Down syndrome is around 50, compared to children without the condition with an IQ of 100.[1][3] (MR has historically been defined as an IQ below 70.) A large proportion of individuals with Down syndrome have a severe degree of intellectual disability.[1] Down syndrome is named after John Langdon Down, the British physician who described the syndrome in 1866.[4] The condition was clinically described earlier in the 19th century by Jean Etienne Dominique Esquirol in 1838 and Edouard Seguin in 1844.[5] Down syndrome was identified as a chromosome 21 trisomy by Dr. Jérôme Lejeune in 1959. Down syndrome can be identified in a baby at birth, or even before birth by prenatal screening.[1][6] Pregnancies with this diagnosis are often terminated.[7] The CDC estimates that about one of every 691 babies born in the United States each year is born with Down syndrome.[8] Many children with Down syndrome graduate from high school and can do paid work,[9] and some participate in post-secondary education as well.[10] Education and proper care has been shown...

...Down syndrome Development Psychology Down syndrome Love a four letter word that many will take and throw around as though the word is a ball to be toyed with. One seeks to have someone say “I love you” no matter what their ability is as being mentally challenged or not. A parent does not love his or her child any less if he or she suffers an illness such as that of Down syndrome (DS). In order to completely understand how the love of a mother and father can be given to a child with such a disability, the individual needs to gain an understanding of what Down syndrome is. The reader of this paper will learn how Down syndrome got the name, what Down syndrome is, the case for this disorder, the facts that are known of Down syndrome. The methods used to test and find DS before the birth of a child. Statistical facts, the medical conditions which are present, how parents and teachers work with those born with DS. How the eating habits, sexuality habits of males and females with Down syndrome are viewed. The length of the life expectancy for someone who is challenged with DS compared to someone that is not mentally challenged. The last thing that I will cover within this paper is that of foundations that have been created to conduct research and treatment for those with Down syndrome and to answer the question that many may have as to there being a cure for Down syndrome. Down syndrome a term that many are familiar with in the United States; the scientific name...

...possible heart defect and Down syndrome. She went to her ob-gyn named Dr. Matthew J. Kachinas to talk about aborting the baby boy fetus. In January 2006 he agreed to treat her with selective termination. K.M went to her ob-gyn and discussed the selective termination to her. Dr. Matthew J. Kachinas told K.M that he has lack of experience of this procedure. After K.M had the selective termination, she came back a week in a half later and done an ultrasound and it revealed that the wrong fetus was alive. The baby boy was still alive and not the healthy girl fetus. Several days later K.M went back to her ob-gyn and got the other fetus terminated too because that fetus is the one she wanted terminated in the first place. Dr. Matthew J. Kachinas the ob-gyn blames the ultrasound for his mistakes. Kachinas was charges and lost his license. K.M got a $250,000 liability settlement. The precise ethical issue here is individual rights. K.M lost both of her twins because of her ob-gyn Dr. Matthew J. Kachinas. He shouldn't have done that procedure if he didn't know what he was doing. K.M and her husband had other alternatives than to have the selective termination. They could have kept both twins, they also could of got another doctor that knew what he/she was doing for the selective termination. K.M and her husband lost both of the twins, not just one but both of the twins. They both wanted to abort the fetus because of possible heart defect and Down syndrome. They ignored the...

...Susan A. Fowler, Michaelene M. Ostrisky and Seon Yeong Yu wrote an article called “Children’s friendship development; a comparative study” in the spring of 2011. They set out to “increase our understanding of how parents facilitate their children’s friendships” by “exploring the support strategies that parents use to assist their children in developing peer relationships and friendships.” Their main objectives were to seek answers to three questions. The first question is what are some of the characteristics of a preschooler’s friendships and are they different between children with and children without disabilities or developmental delays? Secondly, what strategies are parents using to support their children’s friendship development, and do they differ between parents of children with and without disabilities or developmental delays? Finally, what characteristics influence their friendships, and so these differ between children with and without developmental delays? An eight page survey was developed by the authors and passed out to about 100 preschoolers to give their mothers. The primary target for this study was for mothers of preschoolers between the ages of 3 and 6, from five classes in two public preschool programs in Illinois. The survey inquired about the child’s information and social networks as well as the mother’s help and strategies in friendships and family information. Participants were originally chosen based on the order the packets came back. The researcher’s...
