...His case was called ‘’Dred Scott v. Sanford’’. He actually made it to court. Dred Scott made history happen by going to court for his freedom. His statement or what his whole is built upon was the statement that he had lived with Dr. Emerson in free territories like Illinois, that when Dr. Emerson died he Dred Scott thought he was free. The process began in 1846. Dred Scott had lost his first trial in a local St. Louis district court but, he then won his second trial, only to find out that the decision overturned by the Missouri State Supreme Court. Although he was rejected he would not give up for his and his wife’s freedom. Nothing was going to get in his way. He wasn’t alone. He had a team of people who hated slavery. Dred Scott then filed his suit in St....

...The Missouri Mormon War of 1838 was one of the saddest in Missouri history; it was a period or confrontation and violence. The Mormon War of 1838 between Latter Day Saints and their anti-Mormon Missouri neighbors lasted from August 8, 1838 until November 1, 1938. Although a short war, it affected more than ten thousand Mormons in Missouri. The war or some call it a conflict, may have lasted only four months but skirmishes continued to break out between Mormons and anti-Mormons for several years. As I researched books and articles for my paper, I found blame for this war could be placed on either side depending on the author’s opinion. Most of the research indicated this war was a matter of fear, fortitude, power, and politics on both sides. In my opinion we cannot in good conscience say one side or the other started the war. It may not be clear who actually started the war but, the anti-Mormons appeared to have a political reason to get the Mormons out of Missouri. I did find several reasons for the war and it appeared the anti-Mormons had the most to gain. One such reason I found was Joseph Smith, the founder of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Smith believed and reveled to the Latter Day Saints the second coming of Christ would happen near the town of Independence, Missouri. It wasn’t long after Mormons from across the country descended on Jackson County. Causing a rapid growth of Mormon settlements in this area, they came to build up what they...

In the summer of 1858, two candidates campaigned across the state of Illinois for a seat in the United States Senate. That belonged to Stephen Douglas from the Democratic Party. He was seeking reelection. His opponent was a lawyer from the newly established Republican Party. His name was Abraham Lincoln.

...be a foreshock (smaller earthquake near epicenter, similar to an aftershock), which is usually mistaken for the Earthquake until the actual higher magnitude quake occurs. These shifts seem to happen without warning, however, upon observation and tracking of geological survey, structures, and pattern, it is possible to decipher the probable location of an earthquake. The United States Geological Survey map is a valuable tool when attempting to decipher whether a particular state is an Earthquake hotspot. Upon review of the Geological survey, one will notice that Pacific coast and the islands in the Pacific Ocean are furthermost susceptible to the quakes. Hazard levels range the low teens to over fifty percent. Kentucky, Tennessee and Missouri rest on the New Madrid Fault line; subsequently these are states that share the red zone symbolizing the greatest risk for activity. We will notice that further inland the states experience less hazard until we begin approaching the Southeast states (southern tips of a few Northeastern states). The 2008 Hazard Map leads one to speculate if a fault area within the South, or the offshore faults off the coast of South Carolina would produce quakes capable of devastating stats surrounding Tennessee. It’s possible to consider the...

...The Coming Out Process; Athletes Edition For most collegiate and professional athletes life is hard, with the media critiquing their every move and also trying to stay on top of their game so they can succeed to the best of their abilities. Now they are all facing change and for few they have to fight adversity. NBA Player Jason Collins, Division 1 College Football player Michael Sam, and Division 1 College Basketball player Derrick Gordon will now have to face one of the biggest adversities and that’s being in active in their current sport as an openly gay player. This will be new for not only them but also the league they each are individually apart of, as they become the ‘First’ openly gay player in each of their sport. As silly as it may sounds the NBA and College sports haven’t been exposed to this sexual preferences for varies reason, people keep it to themselves, players or staff are scared to the be the ‘first’, or simply because players were heterosexual for the most part so no one was ever concern about a homosexual in what is called a “MAN” sport. This source said best, ‘despite decreasing homophobia, openly gay male athletes are still rare in organized, competitive team sports.’ (Anderson, 2012). Its funny because people change sexual preferences everyday and their coming out stories aren’t nationally televised but yet when these three individuals came out to the public seems like red flags when up all over the sports world.

As I pull into the driveway I realized no one was at home. I looked at my phone and noticed my wife left me an e-mail letting me know that she and the kids would be delayed. I open the door and Jack, my golden retriever, is nearly doing cartwheels his way of asking me to take him outside. I take him out to do his business as I head for the mailbox. Undoubtedly there will be the usual bills and solicitations. As I open the box there was only one item – a letter. I think to myself that no one writes letters anymore. As I look at the sender’s address, it was from my grandmother. I began to wonder, what would my grandmother think about email today? Today the norm is to communicate via electronic mail or as it is more commonly known – email. There are several other forms of electronic communication but none have changed the game as much as has email. Email is the precursor to all our technological communication modalities such as texting and instant messaging. This mode of communication has become so pervasive that there are schools...

...ITALIAN RESTAURANT BUSINESS PLAN HISTORY The location is only 1/4 of a mile away from Gravois Bluff's, the largest land moving project to put in a major shopping complex in the state of Missouri. The rent is half the retail shops in Gravois Bluff's, yet the location offers the same opportunity for sales. The recently completed highway 141 offers hundreds of thousands of local residents, shoppers from outside the area, and travelers that use this new highway. With this high concentration of customers there are no Italian restaurants in Fenton and a tremendous need for an upscale family restaurant that offers items for both the children and adults. This turnkey operation seats 170 customers and is the perfect size for a PHC family operation. With the current leasehold improvements and quality kitchen equipment it would take very little to upgrade this operation to the legendary PHC winning formula. The growth in numbers of high income families in the Fenton area is projected at over 30%. There is a need for a family fine dining restaurant in the Fenton area. PHC would be the perfect neighborhood restaurant in the perfect neighbourhood. The Pasta House Co. in Fenton will be the second location for Dennis Boldt, who has operated a successful franchise unit in High Ridge, Missouri for 20 years. The Pasta House Co. based out of St. Louis, and now has over 34 successful company and franchise locations in the United States and Mexico. PHC Fenton will have a prime location, great...

...Headnote Positive or negative, given or received, feedback can be tricky. We shatter some popular misconceptions to guide you. Feedback isn't always easy to give or receive. But it's vital, and timing is crucial. Here are 12 popular feedback misconceptions corrected. Misconception 1: We don't need to worry about feedback, we conduct performance appraisals. Truth: Annual performance appraisals aren't enough. If you've been working unsatisfactorily for 12 months, you're awfully good at doing something incorrectly. And if you've been doing something well for 12 months and no one has mentioned it, your performance appraisal might feel like too little, too late. Performance appraisals should be summaries of everything employees and supervisors have been discussing all year. If you're a supervisor, find ways to provide feedback each week for each person who reports to you-- 52 mini performance reviews a year. Misconception 2: It's not my job to give feedback. Truth: At any company that values continuous improvement, feedback is everybody's job. If your workplace isn't feedback friendly, start a trend. First, praise. Reinforce positive actions and behaviors. Don't forget your boss: Positive feedback passed up the organization can have amazing results. Participate in suggestion programs honestly and enthusiastically. And request feedback on your own performance. Misconception 3: If you're not asked, keep your mouth shut. Truth: When you don't deliver critical feedback, you...

...insurance. Over the years the inequities in access to care, quality, and the rising cost has led many Americans to be uninsured or underinsured. During 2007 and 2008, one out of three Americans under 65 was without health insurance. 86.7 million Americans were uninsured from 2007 to 2008 (Pifer-Bixler, 2009). The Foundation of Medical Relief, Inc. FMR was developed to be 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Our goal is to ensure every community member in the greater Kansas City Metro area is compliant with the ACA health insurance coverage mandate by January 2014. We try to keep the uninsured and underinsured healthy by providing access to high quality, affordable health insurance for uninsured and underinsured in the greater Kansas City, Missouri area. Kansas City saw an increase in the number of uninsured children. As U.S. poverty rate grew in 2009, 20 percent more people need health care help. The number of uninsured Americans was 49.9 million in 2010 (Stafford, 2011). Everyone is at risk of being uninsured (Families USA, 2009). Therefore, we developed Foundation for Medical Relief, Inc. (FMR) with the vision as to foster and promote collaborative relationships; will develop partnerships with public and private health services agencies and the community in general enhance the administration of the health care act. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) was made into law in March of 2010, provides better health security by putting in place comprehensive health insurance reforms. These...
