This was a big year for our FFA Chapter. I was in place as Vice President so I was in a place of responsibility. This was the year I was also selected as the 2015 Beef Queen.

...School of Innovation, Design and Engineering Bachelor Thesis in Aeronautical Engineering 15 credits, Basic level 300 Investigation of Different Airfoils on Outer Sections of Large Rotor Blades Authors: Torstein Hiorth Soland and Sebastian Thuné Report code: MDH.IDT.FLYG.0254.2012.GN300.15HP.Ae Sammanfattning Vindkraft står för ca 3 % av jordens produktion av elektricitet. I jakten på grönare kraft, så ligger mycket av uppmärksamheten på att få mer elektricitet från vindens kinetiska energi med hjälp av vindturbiner. Vindturbiner har använts för elektricitetsproduktion sedan 1887 och sedan dess så har turbinerna blivit signifikant större och med högre verkningsgrad. Driftsförhållandena förändras avsevärt över en rotors längd. Inre delen är oftast utsatt för mer komplexa driftsförhållanden än den yttre delen. Den yttre delen har emellertid mycket större inverkan på kraft och lastalstring. Här är efterfrågan på god aerodynamisk prestanda mycket stor. Vingprofiler för mitten/yttersektionen ...

...little physical science. The teacher taught in multiple ways. She knew that everybody learned in a different way, so she tried to accommodate everybody. That’s when my English skill came about. I had a few poems published in different books. I also advanced in math and basically all of my classes. In my junior year, I started taking agricultural classes which extend into my senior year. As a senior, I took advanced courses in English and Math. I hadn’t taken one Sociology class at this point. My favorite non-circular activity was golf. I didn’t play often and I wasn’t good at it, but I loved it. I engulfed myself in Agriculture. I wanted to be a veterinarian, I was the Vice President of my FFA chapter, and I was showing both pigs and a steer at my local fair. I was proud of my position as the FFA vice president, through them I had competed in many different competitions and had won! I found out that I was good at communication and speeches, I was good at memorizing breeds of animals and I was a good leader. When I graduated high school I started taking agricultural classes at the college level and I hated it. My “On Course” class required us to plan out what we wanted to do. I took many tests that told me what kind of person I was, who I should marry, and, overall, what job field I should be in. Social worker was at the top of my list. I immediately fell in love with the idea of social work. The very next semester I took my first sociology class. I loved everything about the class-...

...CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION AND THE CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY IMPROVEMENT ACT ANNETTE MCCLENDON Table of Contents History about CPSC Congressional Actions on the Improvement Act * CRS Summary * Major Congressional Actions * Public Law 112-28 * Chronology CPSC Commissioners The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is an independent federal regulatory agency, which was established with the passage of the Consumer Product Safety Act in 1972, and began operating in 1973. The primary responsibilities of the CPSC were to protect the public from unreasonable risks of injury associated with consumer products. The CPSC also promotes the evaluation of consumer products for potential hazards, establishes uniform safety standards for consumer products, eases conflicting state and local regulations concerned with consumer safety, and selectively conducts research on potentially hazardous products. In a 1970 precursor study to the establishment of the CPSC, the National Commission on Product Safety’s Final Report (Final Report) was issued to the President and Congress. This report included extensive surveys – on product hazards, accident information systems, voluntary product standards, consumer education, the state of product safety law, the relationship between Federal law and State law, product safety policy in other countries – and also contained proposals for general product safety legislation, the core of which was to be the creation...

...My desire to play soccer dates back to my kindergarten years. Though now that I am a junior in high school, I train younger soccer players that have the same passion and work ethic as I do. I train them, just as I was trained, to learn and understand every position so that they become a versatile player. I give the same chance to these players that was given to me. Though, I have been a soccer player for nine years, I am also a Miner's Ravine 4-H officer and a Placer FFA officer. These two organizations have opened my eyes to agriculture, leadership, and community service. Between these two groups I put in hundreds of hours into my lamb project, being an officer, and community service. Throughout my time in agriculture, I have developed...

It encompasses 23,000 miles of track in 23 western states. Union Pacific ended 2013 with almost $22 billion in revenue. Burlington Northern & Santa Fe is the second largest railway in the country and is owned by Berkshire Hathaway with $21 billion in revenue.

Norfolk Southern’s annual revenue is similar to CSX at $11 billion with around 31,000 employees. (Henage, 2013) Starting in 1827, CSX’s history dates back to the beginning of the American railroad industry with the first charter of Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company and through a long list of railway mergers throughout the 20th century. CSX was incorporated in 1978 under Virginia law.

...Question 1: What major events in Canada’s labour relations history got Phil to the point in which he could lawfully organize a union, have it certified, and negotiate a collective agreement with the company? Major events in Canada’s Labour Relations History includes: I. Nine Hour Movement: In 1872, this legislation gave Canadian workers the right to organize a union legally as a result of a strike by Toronto printers. It was an effort by workers to organize and lobby to have the standard work day reduced from 12 hours to 9 hours. Ironically, however, the legislation did not address the hours of work. This movement also resulted in the forming of the first Federation of Trade Unions Canadian Labour Union. II. Winnipeg General Strike of 1919: This allowed workers to get limited collective bargaining. By 1883 the Trades and Labour Congress (TLC) formed to lobby for reforms to labour legislation to benefit all workers, with an alternative being developed in 1927 known as the All Canadian Congress of Labour. III. Wagner Act: In 1935, this American Act gave workers the rights to “organize, collectively bargain and strike” (Module 2). Canadian provinces followed soon after by adopting similar wording in their labour codes. Question 2: What strategies can Phil use to increase his chances of success in organizing a union within this company? Phil can do the following: I. Arrange an organizing committee: With “a group of employees who work on the campaign to sign up union...
