...IL. Ultra Foods is the organization that will be closely analyzed for this course project. It is a privately owned, regional, super warehouse food retailer whose company headquarters is located in Highland, Indiana. It competes in the Supermarkets and Other Grocery (except Convenience) Stores under the NAICS number 445110(IBIS). The chain of stores is subsidiaries of the parent company Central Grocers. The chain has been undergoing constant growth and expanding in the states of Illinois and Indiana. The grocery chain reached a milestone in 2011 when they reached $1 billion dollars in sales.

...for us all. We’ll be closer to her family who live over in Ontario and you’ll get an opportunity to experience a slightly different culture,” he explained like the idea was wonderful. Alice stared at her dad. “Moving to Quebec! A place where they speak mainly French?” she thought and nearly fainted at the dinner table. Moving to Quebec meant learning a new language and Alice already had enough trouble understanding English. She felt like she was slowly slipping again, under the invisible force that held her back constantly. “When are we moving?” she asked slowly, trying to repress the urge to whine. “The end of the school year,” Vanessa answered with a sweet smile. “End of this school year?!” Alice replied her voice rising an octave. “How am I supposed to learn a new language by the end of this the school year?” “You won’t have to master the entire language by the end of the school year, but you’ll learn enough to have a jump start,” Her dad explained and passed a piece of paper to Alice. She slowly read over it and felt annoyance boil inside her. “You switched my technology elective to French A?” she managed in a slow voice. Her dad simply nodded and took a bite of his dinner. Alice could feel the pit of her stomach drop from under her. She could feel the invisible force slowly suffocating her. The third week of school come too quickly for Alice. The teachers put away their happy go-lucky faces and wore their let’s-get-work-done-again smiles. Math and science went...

...INTRODUCTION Background Driving Simulators are used for entertainment as well as in training of driver's education courses taught in educational institutions and private businesses. They are also used for research purposes in the area of human factors and medical research, to monitor driver behavior, performance, and attention and in the car industry to design and evaluate new vehicles or new advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). Training Driving simulators are being increasingly used for training drivers all over the world. Research has shown that driving simulators are proven to be excellent practical and effective educational tools to impart safe driving training techniques for all drivers. Uses • • • • • • • User training Training in critical driving conditions Training for impaired users Analysis of the driver behaviours Analysis of driver responses Analysis of the user performances Evaluating user performances in different conditions (handling of controls) Entertainment Apart from training drivers, driving simulators are also used for entertainment purposes like giving video games a more realistic feel. Steering wheels and seats can be purchased and synchronised with game consoles to be used when playing racing games. 1 Research Driving simulators are used at research facilities for many purposes. Some vehicle manufacturers operate driving simulators. Many universities also operate simulators for research. In addition to studying driver training issues...

...John Bartlow Martin / The Blast in Centralia No. 5: A Mine Disaster No One Stopped Already the crowd had gathered. Cars clogged the short, black rock road from the highway to the mine, cars bearing curious spectators and relatives and friends of the men entombed. State troopers and deputy sheriffs and the prosecuting attorney came, and officials from the company, the Federal Bureau of Mines, the Illinois Department of Mines and Minerals. Ambulances ar- rived, and doctors and nurses and Red Cross workers and soldiers with stretchers from Scott Field. Mine res- cue teams came, and a federal rescue unit, experts bur- dened with masks and oxygen tanks and other awkward paraphernalia of disaster. . . . One hundred and eleven men were killed in that explosion. Killed needlessly, for almost everybody concerned had known for months, even years, that the mine was dangerous. Yet nobody had done any- thing effective about it. Why not? Let us examine the background of the explosion. Let us study the mine and the miners, Joe Bryant and Bill Rowekamp and some others, and also the numerous people who might have saved the miners’ lives but did not. The miners had appealed in various directions for help but got none, not from their state government nor their federal government nor their employer nor their own union. (In threading the maze of official- dom we must bear in mind four agencies in author- ity: The State of Illinois, the United States Government, the Centralia...

This database is a large media database which would provide the client with media files using these framework services. The performance of these services is improved by adding caching mechanism to the system. Languages Used C, Memcache utility & library, PHP. Abstract Nowadays, efficacious accessibility of data stored in large databases is a major aspect of any system which needs to access data stored in such databases especially over the web. In this project report, we first study an existing service oriented framework for supporting a voluminous database created by Mime360. This database is a large media database which would provide the client with media files using these framework services. The main purpose of this system is to provide accessibility...

...1. INTRODUCTION 1. Rationale for Selecting the Report: Dairy sector of Bangladesh is playing an important role in Bangladesh Economy. Country is producing milk well under the requirement and most of the demands are being met from import of dry milk from the international market. This country needs 7.227 million ton milk calculating 120ml per head. Out of which we produced only 2.686 million ton and met up our requirement by importing 52 thousand ton milk power from abroad. Still we have deficit of 3.91 million ton milk. At present, daily per capita milk consumption is less than 60 ml. We are spending 10 billion Taka per annum for importing milk powder from abroad. The total milk market in Bangladesh is estimated around 21000mt worth $ 72m of which Dano holds 22% Market Share (MS), Diploma 18%MS, Anchor 12%MS, Red cow 8%MS, Nido 4%MS and others rest local players. FCMP market reaching maturity and price competition is also increasing. Due to no/little product differentiation brands becoming very price elastic. Global Trend-Consumers moving from generalized products to specialized products. Local Trend- Consumption of packed consumer goods going up. NZDP (New Zealand Product Bangladesh Ltd.) intents to enter the specialized product segment of milk market in Bangladesh. With the outbreak of stunning information that powder milk product specially growing up Milk product contain melamine; the global milk market has gained instability. Almost three children had died with the hazardous...
