...The Condition of Lake Heron Sherrika R. Newman Professor Carrie Miller English Composition November 24, 2013 Lake Heron is one of five Great Lakes located on the west by the state of Michigan in the United States. It is the second-largest Great Lakes due to the having a surface area of 23,000 square miles. But by volume Lake Huron is only the third largest of the Great Lakes. Looking at illustration (A) below, Lake Heron is surrounded by Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. It is often referred to “the lake in the middle.” (A) In illustration (A) above you can also see that Lake Huron is connected to Lake Michigan through the straights of St. Mary’s River. It is a fact that this lake was the first Great Lakes to be discovered by European explorers. It is also a reality that Lake Heron has become a victim to water pollution over recent years. This has become a major issue for Coastal Conversationalist. Lake Huron has become a major dumping ground for many different types of pollutants. These pollutants enter the lakes fresh water and are commonly classified by point source or non-point source pollution. Point source can usually be traced back to the specific location and source of culprit. Dumping of hazardous chemical depositions or nuclear waste from industrial and treatment facilities is an example of point source pollution. Because point source pollution can be traced back to the owner it is the easiest source of pollution to control and regulate...

...I was happy that we’re able to read about a relevant topic. I personally don’t know much about the medical marijuana history/debate in Michigan so I found this assignment to be very informative and useful. I’m glad this assignment gave me the opportunity to read the most current information on the laws concerning medical marijuana. I have never personally smoked marijuana, so I have a hard time understanding why some people push so hard to have it legalized. This being said, I do believe that the case presented against McQueen and Taylor is valid. Given what I read in the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act (MMMA), it would appear to me that CA, the defendant’s co-owned marijuana dispensary, was operating illegally. The MMMA states that there is to be no “patient-to-patient” sales (MICHIGAN MEDICAL MARIHUANA ACT (EXCERPT), 2008). Even though CA rented out lockers to registered qualifying patients to store and sell their excess marijuana, CA claims that they did not violate any of the rules outlined in the MMMA because they believed they did not own the rights to the stored marijuana. CA attests that the rights and ownership of the stored pot were still that of the patients whom rented the lockers, not CA. The State of Michigan challenged that notion by defining possession as dominion and control of the drug. The State of Michigan’s position is that CA had control over the access and sale of the drug there by placing possession of the drug with CA, not the patients. This is a violation...

...In this article the author outlines the new business prospects that are hoping to come to the Michigan and Ohio area. The midwest has provided us with companies such as Tumblr and Trip advisor and we all know that the Silicone Valley provides up with most social media we have all learned to love or hate but where is Michigan is the race? Chris Olsen thinks that someone coming out of OSU or UofM could produce the next big thing and is putting money into small firms, $250 million to be exact. These investments, that we learned in chapter 6, are part of equity financing, where investors put the money in for shares of stock. Entrepreneurship is also a very large part of this, Olsen and his partner Mark Kvamme are general partners at Drive Capital and have helped over 20 different entrepreneur based companies to get on their feet. Since they moved from Silicone Valley to Ohio they have invested in 4 small businesses in the midwest. These small businesses are part of the innovations and new industries that we learned about in Chapter 5.Our BizNews is an example of investment(chapter 6), Entrepreneurship(chapter 6 and 2), small businesses(chapter 5) but also a vision for the future and the business industry. As seen in chapter 2, vision is an important part of success. Olsen and Kvamme’s vision is to bring the industry to states like Michigan and Ohio. Their partnership shows that their joint vision is to change the way the consumer thinks and feels about the industry they see as only...

...system was viewed as very stressful by employees, however, was intended to facilitate change. This evaluation system along with mass layoffs were an attempt to force workers into a new culture (April, 2013). This was not a positive way to implement change. Johnson created a strategy for change based on his knowledge of how the Apple Stores and Target’s transformation occurred. He assumed the same formula would work for this establishment as well. The decision making for the JC Penney’s transformation was very complicated in context-meaning that the relationships between cause and effect could have been clear, but not necessarily apparent to all when no research was conducted and multiple solutions may have been effective (Central Michigan University, 2012). Johnson failed to do...

...Bin Pan UP 100 2016/4/7 The City of Detroit and its Marvels Detroit is probably one of the most beautiful cities in the world. With an area of almost 143 square miles, it is home to some of America’s most priceless sceneries. What I love about Detroit is that it is a representation of a city that is not too large but is not too small, providing an avenue where people can be closely acquainted while maintaining an economically dynamic atmosphere for fashion, finance, entertainment, education, science and technology, and transportation. The weather in Detroit is, I would say, evenly distributed throughout the year – extreme weather occurrences are not common making the city very much liveable. The city boasts its towering city scape, displaying architectures that took inspiration from both the ancient and modern architectural designs. This integration somehow preserves the sensation of medieval civilization and the angst of modern life. The metropolitan Detroit is home to some historical landmarks including St. Joseph Catholic Church and the Cathedral of the Most Blessed Sacrament – both are situated within the heart of the metro, hinting contrast of antiquity and modernism. Although Detroit is a big city, it is only the 18th most populous city in America. Not so typical of metropolitan cities. However, this poses the opportunity to enjoy the extents of its parks and amusement centres without having to worry about mob or heavy crowd. However, there is not much diversity...

This approach would also only be able to deliver 1 shipment per time, which wouldn’t be ideal if we were behind schedule or if a problem comes up, and if something happens to the truck then we would lose all 3 of our shipments. Amalgamated Integrated Services offers a cross-docking service, which would allow Spartan Plastics to ship our products earlier lowering our storage costs. AIS would also provide us with a more “safe” transportation approach by diving each of our shipments into a different truck, therefore if something unforeseen happens to one of the trucks or the shipment Spartan Plastics can still be sure that the other 2 shippings are on...

...Deere & Company was founded in 1837 by a blacksmith named John Deere who became a manufacturer of agricultural equipment through his invention of a newly designed plow. Although steam tractors were introduced to farms in the 1880s, Deere did not start building their iconic John Deere tractors until they purchased a small tractor company, Waterloo Boy, in 1918 which was long after John Deere’s death in 1886. Deere is deeply rooted in agriculture as evidenced by their manufacturing of farm equipment and in their development of efficient farming strategies, logistics, and insurance products. The company has grown to be one of the world’s largest and most recognized manufacturers of agricultural, construction, forestry, and turf equipment despite several tumultuous periods and celebrated their 175th anniversary this year, 2012. 0 In the 1984 annual report, the company referred to increasing competitive pressures and the need to provide for more value per dollar to the customer. The ways that the company proposed to achieve this seemed to revolve around the "technological fix" with references to use of robotics and increased efficiency in operations. Quality was beginning to be recognized as important in design, manufacturing, and in meeting customer needs for reliability in the forestry equipment line. 1 In the 1987 report, an emphasis on quality seemed to be developing, even though cost-reduction and value to the customer continued as an underlying theme. The "total value"...

...Henry Ford, was an American industrialist who was born in the early 1860. As a young boy, Henry worked as a farm boy and he was very unsatisfied. At the age of 16, he decided to leave home to work in as a machinist in Detroit. In later years, he learned how to skillfully operate service steam engines. Henry Ford was also, the sponsor of the development called the Assembly Line. Henry Ford soon got married in 1888 to Clara Ala Bryant and had their first child named Edsel Bryant Ford. Henry Ford once said, “Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, either way you’re right.” He made this quote valid by saying in the quote ‘Think.’ When he was a tad bit younger his father gave him a pocket watch that he soon took apart. Henry immediately...

...Eight different stand-up comedians gathered on the fourth floor of The B.O.B. in Grand Rapids, Mich. on Thursday, October 27th, where they offered a hilarious comedy show with unpredictable acts. Dr. Grins is Grand Rapid's most unique venue for entertainment. The theatre brings in nationally acclaimed stand-up comedians. TIckets were five dollars at the door and a two drink minimum was required upon entry, but that didn't discourage people from attending. Over 200 people packed the room for an evening full of friends, family and fun. Comedians from the Michigan area included Gary Anderson, Corey Tucker, Josh Courtney, Adam Degi, Derek Hebler, DK Hamilton, Ben Wilke and Casey Stoddard. Professional Comedian Fred Potter, the main act, ended the night with an outstanding performance that had the crowd nearly in tears. Potter was born and raised in Lansing, Mich. where he began his career right out of High School after he was voted as class clown. He has opened for Bernie Mac, Tommy Chong, and Sinbad just to name a few. "Laughter is a beautiful thing, there is nothing more rewarding than doing something you love while making complete strangers laugh" Potter says. As Halloween approached, waitresses, bartenders and security guards put on their costumes to make the night more memorable than ever before. "I never knew about Dr. Grins until this past weekend. I wish I would have known about it years ago. This is good, cheap entertainment at it's best" says Kim Fulton...

Yes, I know that it is one of the courses that meet some requirement or other for your degree – so you might feel that you have to take it! However, is there anything worthwhile that you can take away from this class besides 3 credits and hopefully a decent grade? I think so. Here are some thoughts about our course. Psychology is the study of behavior and mental processes; and just who engages in behavior and mental processes? You do – so this course is really all about you. We will look at the brain and see how it helps you to make sense of your world. We will look at lifespan development – your past, present and future. We will look at motivation and problem-solving – we all have motivational issues from time to time, and as for problems, most of us have lots of those to deal with. Although our focus is on normal behavior, we will look at what happens when our psychological self becomes overloaded, and we will examine ways to cope. We will see how individuals act and react within a group context. Throughout the course we will see real life applications for the material that we are learning. Course Description: The purpose of this...

...From swimming on sandy beaches, exploring lighthouses, and boating on the grandeur of Lake Michigan to kayaking on pristine rivers and quiet lakes. From experiencing world-class fishing to golf, Michigan’s Great Outdoors is pure Michigan. But that’s not the type of Michigan outdoors I like. Michigan has a lot to offer, but the outdoors of Michigan I like is the great car shows they have every year or the wonderful parks or even the exciting entertainment that goes on the down town Detroit. Cars, everybody either wants or needs one. But even if you don’t own one but have the love for cars you can go to an event I love attending called the Detroit Auto Show. It has everything from the first challenger to the new 2012 charger. My dad and I go every year to look at the hottest new cars and the great detailing of the old ones. We also go to get away from our girlfriends at times. It is a great outdoor activity that’s not really active but it will keep your attention. Another place to escape to in my type of great outdoors is to go to one of Michigan’s great parks, whether it’s the great Chene Park, or a simple dog park. Surprisingly my favorite park is the dog park. It’s the dog park because I’m killing two birds with one stone. By letting him run out all his energy and beat up other dogs instead of tearing up my house and what’s not to like about that. I think my dog lives to destroy everything I own. So far he ate the cords to my television, two floor lamps and some other electronics...
