...Although the WBA encouraged workers to accept the new contract, many so-called radical workers rejected that advice and organized their own demonstrations and parades, which attracted large crowds in the thousands (Johnson and Dennis). It is during this period that the Molly Maguires society emerged to rectify their grievances against the political system and mine owners who were hostile to immigrants and mine workers. (Brennan). Just as they had targeted their landlords in Ireland, the Pennsylvania Mollies targeted the mine owners, company policemen, and strike breakers (Brennan). Their protests were some of the most violent in labor history (Loy). Both the union members and the coal companies were responsible for numerous violent acts, including public brawls, assaults, sabotage, and murder (Loy). Mines were...

...Alec and Molly Loran G Glasco Jr Problem Solving and Theory April 3rd, 2016 Mr Ryan Cornell Alec and Molly As an adult who has been out of high school for a number of years, going back to college presents a number of challenges for me. I am a single dad with a son who has autism. Alec is high functioning, but he still has special needs. I suffered a brain injury a number of years ago which adds its own set of challenges to completing my college career. In spite of these challenges, I refuse to give up. I am doing everything in my power to work towards completing my college degree. One solution I came up with to help my son is to get a dog. The Basenji is considered to be one of man’s oldest dog breeds. There happens to be something else very special about them. Basenjis are very smart and if there is a way to escape, they will find it and go exploring all on their own. The Basenji has been compared to an Autistic Child or adult by their manners because they also have the curiosity of a cat and someone with Autism. The best part is they do not smell at all; they are considered to be hypoallergenic because they do not smell unless you consider smelling like a Frito a smell. Yes, I said a Frito because they do smell like one. The Basenji does not bark, so they are considered to be a bark-less dog and the only bark-less dog breeds in the world. With a history going back to 3500 BC, if you have looked at the hieroglyphics of the pyramids, you will see them in those pictures...

...Molly Sadlowski ENGVUI Ms. McLennan 30 March 2016 Close Reading: Life of Pi “I can well imagine an atheists last words: “White, white! L-L-Love! My god!” – and the deathbed leap of faith. Whereas the agnostic, if he stays true to his reasonable self, if he stays beholden to dry, yeastless factuality, might try to explain the warm light bathing by him saying, “Possibly a f-f-failing oxygenation of the b-b-brain,” and to the very end, lack imagination and miss the better story.” (70) Atheist- a person who lacks belief or disbelieves in god Deathbed leap of faith- The narrator is using subtle sarcasm here when he is referring to the atheist only believing in god when he is near death, but beforehand they did not believe in the subject of God Agnostic- a person who claims neither faith nor disbelief in God, believing that nothing is known or can be known of this existence or nature of God. True to his reasonable self- Pi again making reference to the person’s disbelief in God, in a somewhat judgemental tone. Using a cynical-like tone to approach the agnostic for their disbelief in god and therefore missing the more faithful experience of death. Dry, yeastless, factuality- This is being used metaphorically, as yeast is something commonly known for helping bread grow or rise. When Martel describes factuality as “yeastless” I believe he is saying that those who depend on factuality to make concise decisions (in this case about God) are weak, and unable to grow. In this...

...Melissa Mattila ENG 325 Molly’s Case The Stakeholders in this case are Molly, her co-workers, the families of Molly and her co-workers, the pay-roll accountant as the decision maker, as well as the peer managers and the company and its stockholders. As a payroll manager you are forced to keep confidential information regarding all employees in the company. If I were in the shoes of this decision maker I would go to upper management and suggest that someone from higher up the chain of responsibility, such as the CEO, should conduct a meeting so all employees were notified of the economic hardship of the company. People want to know the truth. First rule of public relations is to never lie no matter how bad the news is. I would not tell Molly directly because it would be unfair to other co-workers who did not have access to that kind of information at the same time as Molly. Molly has come to express her concern that she may be making a terrible financial decision if she does not find out for sure if her name is on the laid-off list. If her name is on that list she will be unable to afford her new house that she was about to get a mortgage on. In that same scenario her family will also suffer due to the loss of income and potential new house. Molly’s co-workers also face the same consequences. The peer managers are also stakeholders, if things were to go south with the company they would be forced to take on more responsibility in order to take up slack after...

...MOLLY PITCHER I am a composite person so I have no definite birth or death date recorded in history. In addition, I never roamed the cobblestone paths or the dirt roads of a town that I claimed as my home. I am a “woman” who represents the actions of the heroic women who served America in the Revolutionary War. Legend places me fighting the British at the Battle of Monmouth in June of 1778. One of the main stories about me was that I carried water to the soldiers during battle. The men used the water for refreshment as well as for the cannons. I would bring buckets full of water to dump on the cannon barrel to keep it cool and functioning. I had to dodge the bullets, cannon fire, and warfare while performing my duties. Although my name, Molly Pitcher, cannot be identified through historical documentation, many of my stories have been traced back to their true owners. One of the main women responsible for my legacy is Mary Ludwig Hays. Mary Hays’ story is an accurate match to one of my historic tales. She would bring water to the men during war at the same battle that I was said to be in. There is a spring in New Jersey named after me, Molly Pitcher, although it was Mary who really discovered this spring and put it to use during battle. Another of my legends states that I fired a cannon without permission because it was unmanned. Mary Hays was known to have taken over a cannon after her husband was injured severely. Even though a general tried to call her off, she stuck...

...technology is a scary idea. However, this fear is completely absent in this book. Instead, it is obvious that Gibson’s take on the subject is somewhat favorable to the idea of cooperation between man and machine and it should not be seen as an evil or bad thing. It’s like it was meant for humanity and technology to merge together. From enhanced reflexes to built-in holographic projectors, the characters in his book have undergone several body enhancements and modifications to give them the edge in this technological future. One example is Molly Millions, a main character, has many modifications and enhancements done to her body making her a walking death 1 machine. One of these modifications is the vision enhancing mirror lenses. Since her eye sockets are sealed with these mirror lenses, her tear ducts are re-routed to her mouth; therefore, on the rare occasion of her crying, she either spits out her tears or she may swallow them. In addition, Molly never lets anyone touch her lenses as they might leave fingerprints which require extra cleaning. These two issues are not the only problems related to her eyes enhancements; moreover, they are part of the reason why she has...

He was born on August 25, 1819 in Glasgow, Scotland to William and Isabell Pinkerton. When he came to the U.S. he became a member of Chartists, a radical political group that advocates abolishment of slavery, better wages, and women's right, and met Joan his wife.

...“The Breakfast Club” Review Made by ivanbolt Teenage movie about mature problems. Saturday has always been the day of relaxation and having fun. But not for characters of “The Breakfast Club”, who ought to spend their day off to attend a Saturday detention for each of their mischief, and write an essay “Who you think you are?”. Along with the fact, that this group is so ill-assorted, you can’t even get how they all appeared to be in the same place, the Shermer High School library. This small mixed group consists of jock Andrew (Emilio Estevaz), who is insane about sports; nerdy Brian (Antony Michael Hall), whose aim is to get straight A’s at any cost; princess Claire (Molly Ringwald), who conceitedly trying to prove that she does not belong to the company; kook Alison (Ally Sheedy), that surprise everyone by her outstanding acting; and rebellious criminal John Bender (Judd Nelson), that demonstrates indifference and toughness. The movie, written and directed by genius of teen comedies John Hughes and produced with the help of Ned Tanen, represents a perfect mix of a joyful comedy and profound drama. To begin with, the situation represented in the film is quite realistic, except for the fact that such different people gathered together in the same place and at the same time. However, the viewer can consider that as a miraculous coincidence, which often happens in real life. Still, clear representation of youth problems, their behaviour and attitude to each other does...

...For this Current Anthropology Paper, I chose to write about Molly Carney’s research on Cultural Resource Management. Molly was doing her Doctoral research on a Native American Tribe’s land in Washington State. She excavated a site named the Flying Goose (due to the large amount of “annoying” geese who inhabited the area near the site). Based on the very little evidence she found from the pit, one might assume that research would be halted, but through Molly’s creative means of investigation, she was able to determine a great deal about the site’s history. There were no artifacts located in the pit, making her research more difficult. One of the alternative means Molly used to find information was through Geoarchaeology. She took soil samples...

Företagen är verksamma i branschen sällanköp textil och är noterade på OMX Mid/Small Cap. Vi inledde analysen med att jämföra Odd Molly med liknande företag i branschen för att se om vi kunde hitta några markanta skillnader som skulle kunna tyda på fel värdering.

MQ Holding har det högsta P/E talet av våra fyra företag. Generellt kan man säga att ju lägre P/E tal desto bättre. I jämförelse med de andra företagen har Odd Molly det lägsta EV/sales och EV/EBITDA. Ett lågt EV/EBITDA skulle kunna vara ett tecken på att företaget är undervärderat.

...Student Professor English date Jerry and Molly and Sam Growing up is a mandatory part of life and can be very overwhelming. There are situations and circumstances that can shape someone’s future and impact their life. These events can either be positive or negative. One event that has a negative impact on a person’s life is alcoholism. It changes the very essence of the family. The short story “Jerry and Molly and Sam” is about the main character Al and his family. The story reads as if the world is crashing down on Al with his personal and uncontrollable problems (Harrison 15). He is a severely depressed alcoholic (16). When his life starts spiraling out of control due to a turn of events, he puts blame on everyone else, expect himself. Alcoholism and depression do not mix and can ultimately break up a family. Al came very, very close to losing his. Alcoholism and depression doesn’t only effect Al, but his whole family as well. When Al was in fear of being laid off by his job, worried about financial issues, having an affair with a lonely woman, and issues with the new family pet, he turns to excessive drinking (18). During all of these events he never made himself accountable for these problems. So, he used the family dog, Suzy, as a scapegoat. He is doing this to Suzy only because he needed someone to blame and to take his frustration out on. Suzy was the easiest target because she was defenseless. Al is displacing his anger and resentment from his seemingly out...
