...Herman Miller Darden Case Study 8Nov05.doc Herman Miller’s Design for Environment Program November 2005 Mark Rossi, Scott Charon, Gabe Wing, and James Ewell 1 Herman Miller launched its Design for Environment (DfE) program in the 1990s. At the core of the Herman Miller DfE program is the McDonough Braungart Design Chemistry (MBDC) Cradle to Cradle Design Protocol, which evaluates new product designs in three key areas: • • • Material Chemistry -- What chemicals are in the materials we specify, and are they the safest available? Disassembly -- Can we take products apart at the end of their useful life to recycle their materials? Recyclability -- Do the materials contain recycled content, and more importantly, can the materials be recycled at the end of the product's useful life? Herman Miller’s commitment to DfE includes requiring all new products be evaluated within the MBDC Protocol. Material Chemistry Assessment When Herman Miller launched its DfE program, the challenges for the DfE team were substantial: Learn how to use and integrate the MBDC protocol into the launch of new products, modify MBDC’s protocol to meet the needs and unique circumstances of Herman Miller, gather the data necessary to meet material evaluation criteria as required by MBDC’s material health protocol, gain acceptance from product development teams for design process changes, and complete all this work on a schedule that would not delay the launch of products. A core component...

...COST OF CRIME [First-Name Last-Name] [Course number] [Instructor’s Name] May 25, 2016 Determining the cost of crime to the society is a vital task that many have tried to decipher. A quick research unveils many crime costing literature that employ different approaches to approximate the losses due to crimes committed and the cost of crime prevention. Statistics from the U.S. department of Justice show that billions of dollars are used in crime prevention and related legal activities in addition to the billions of dollars that are incurred in economic losses. Studies have shown the cost of crime in developing countries to be approximately ten percent (10%) of their GDP, a figure which agrees with findings that the US spends $1 to $2 trillion annually on crime prevention. McCollister and colleagues categorizes the cost of crime to the society into four groups: victim cost, costs incurred in the criminal justice system, crime career costs and intangible costs. Victim costs are the losses that the victim faces such as loss or damage of property, hospital bills and loss of money. The criminal justice system costs include the money the government spends on crime prevention such as police protection and correctional programs while crime career cost is the opportunity cost that results from the choice to engage in crime rather than sticking to the straight and narrow. Intangible costs, unlike the other three crime cost categories, don’t have a particular cost...

...Name: Mary Xicotencatl Prof: Chamutal Noimann ENG 334-004 Children’s Literature December 21st, 2014 Women in the 19th and 20th century Introduction Throughout the course of history, a wide variety of authors implemented hidden messages in their literature. Many of these messages were representations of what was happening in society, two texts, "the goblin market" written by Christina rosette and 'the sick rose" by William Blake focused on the theme of fallen women. This paper will prove that during the 19th and 20th century, women were considered to be inferior beings with no rights. They faced constant oppression in a society dominated by the male. The paper herein thus provides a full-scale discussion of the thematic relationships between the two texts through an insightful analysis by using secondary sources of the original texts. Discussion The Goblin Market Holt provides a profound analysis in her article about the content of the story in the poem, "Goblin Market." The poem was written in 1862 (in the 18th century) as a manifestation of the plight that women went through at that time. Holt notes that the author of the poem, Christina Rossetti made a an insightful presentation of two sisters, Lizzie and Laura who were forced to endure carnal lust just to embrace a higher and perceived purer realm of human sexuality, which is marriage (Holt 51). The poem is evidence of a strong thematic expression of renunciation that revolves around...

...After 40 months of construction, the Cleveland Clinic is ready to celebrate the opening of two buildings characterized as monuments to 21st-century thinking in health-care delivery. The Sydell and Arnold Miller Family Pavilion will be home to the Clinic's signature cardiovascular program and a new grand entrance at the corner of East 93rd and Euclid Avenue. Tucked behind Miller on the 166-acre campus is the Glickman Tower, the new 12-story headquarters of the Urological and Kidney Institute, which has bragging rights as the Clinic's largest surgery center and one of it fastest growing programs. Fronted by reflecting pools and rows of tulip trees that stretch to Chester Avenue, the glassy, C-shaped Miller Pavilion gives the Clinic a dramatic new look. But the buildings symbolize more than an investment in capacity and aesthetics. Tracy Boulian/The Plain DealerThe new Sydell and Arnold Miller Family Pavilion at the Cleveland Clinic. Patients first The Clinic promises the buildings represent a new era of patient care. The buzzword these days is "patient-centered care." It encompasses everything from moving doctors closer to hospitalized patients, to piped-in music and patient rooms that are described as "comfortable as a well-appointed hotel room." The emphasis on customer service coincides with a new era of patient expectations. It's also tied to growing demands for accountability of hospital performance. In a first-ever release of patient-satisfaction scores by Medicare...

...popular counselling and psychotherapy strands have emerged into the modern counselling field (Sparks, Duncan & Field, 2008). The years prior to psychotherapy’s birth were dominated by psychoanalytic and psychodynamic approaches and its practice was largely restricted to physicians (Miller, Hubble, Chow & Seidel, 2013). Psychotherapy’s arrival was not unnoticed from opposing schools of thought who were quick to question its scientific basis. Traditionally Eysenck (1952) not only challenged psychotherapy’s efficacy but also argued that it was “potentially harmful” (Miller, Hubble, Chow & Seidel, 2013:88). However, supporters of psychotherapy refuted Eysenck’s (1952) view and debate surrounding the fields worth began to accumulate. As a result psychotherapy research for the next few decades would focus on determining whether therapy was effective (House & Loewenthal, 2009). Subsequently, a plethora of studies that demonstrated its efficacy emerged (Smith Miller & Glass, 1980; Lambert & Bergin, 1994; Ahn & Wampold, 2001). So much so, that early studies revealed the treated population fared much better in comparison to their untreated counterparts (Sparks, Duncan & Miller, 2008:1; Asay & Lambert, 1999). The finding that psychotherapy is effective was further supported by “more abstract” mathematical summaries of empirical data (Asay & Lambert, 1999:24) Meta-analysis is just that a mathematical technique that is frequently used to produce estimates...

...contemporary perspective. Diseases also come in when you look at matters of employment and what the disease can do to someone in a particular profession. From an ethical perspective, one needs to stay honest in what they do. In this case of ours, Andy Beckett is forced to conceal his secrets about his health status and sexual orientation for fear of rebuke and rejection. These actions proves that he is unethical in his profession. However, it can be rightfully argued that he was right to stay like that. This is a condition of ethical dilemma whereby if one decides to be very honest as they are required they will lose credibility in their profession and end up being hurt. If they hide their secrets, they are thus breaching the ethical codes. This film presents to the audience the issue of discrimination and ethics. Thus, this Philadelphia movie of 1993 is an opportunity for all to discuss ethics as well as HIV/AIDS in the current organizations. I think that any lifestyle can never render someone inefficient and ineffective in their jobs. Beckett actually would still deliver what was expected of him. He had been a gay for a very long time but still delivered the work properly. By the fact that he defended his bosses in very many cases successfully since he is a quality lawyer. In the law field, Beckett had been a very successfully competent lawyer for a very long time. To begin with, this film introduces to us the matters of discrimination, experiential learning, diversity...

...examine both theories and present both supporting and contradicting evidence for both theories. However, before he can begin, the author must give a brief history of the juvenile justice system in the United States and how that system has handled juvenile delinquency thus far. In the days of old, juvenile justice was an unheard of concept. Most nations did not make a distinction between a juvenile and an adult (Bartollas & Miller, 2011). The court systems of early nations simply held the belief that an offender needed to be punished for a crime the same way no matter what the age of the offender. This led to children being punished in the same manner as adults. Early court systems did not recognize that juvenile offenders had different needs and motives than adults (Bartollas & Miller, 2011). It is fair to say that this fact is erroneous in every aspect. This tradition continued into the mid-1800s. In England, for example, “some 160-200 capital offenses were listed in the statutes for which children could be executed.” (Bartollas & Miller, 2011, p. 5). This is an amazing statistic. Knowing that young children could be executed sheds some light on early court systems. In the mid-1800s, the thinking of the juvenile justice system began to change. In San Quentin Prison in the late-1800s, there was a rise in the number of students enrolled in the prison’s school (Justice, 2000). While this school was intended for the reform of juveniles, it did serve adults as...
