...1 LOBSTER´S En junio 2010 la empresa Lobster´s tenía ya 12 años de actividad pionera en el sector de la pesca de langosta de altura. Esta empresa, con sede en Massachussets, capturó el 16% de langosta de altura en 2009 y era el mayor productor individual de langosta en América del Norte. J. S. Graciano, Gerente desde 2007, anticipaba una posición todavía más dominante y, a largo plazo, contemplaba una integración mayor de la que ya había iniciado: “Estamos tratando de revolucionar la industria de la langosta mediante la aplicación de management y tecnología a lo que había sido, hasta ahora, una industria artesanal. Otras empresas se han convertido en gigantes mediante la reestructuración de negocios como el cangrejo, la anguila, los aguacates, el apio y el pollo; nosotros deseamos convertirnos en la Procter & Gamble del negocio de la langosta. Antes de que hiciéramos accesibles los recursos de la pesca de altura no había manera de realizar esta revolución, pero ahora existe la oportunidad Hemos acariciado la idea de establecer una cadena de restaurantes que presentara nuestra langosta de forma similar a Black Angus o Red Coach (cadenas locales que ofrecen solamente una pequeña selección de carne de ternera como menú). Pensamos que es bastante con lo que tenemos ahora. Los sistemas de distribución de Deep Sea y de Windsor, que compramos el pasado año fiscal, nos han proporcionado una cierta integración vertical “ Lobster´s esperaba empezar a recuperarse de su...

...Introduction What we do about ecology [that is, what we do about environmental problems] depends on our ideas of the man-nature relationship. More science and more technology are not going to get us out of the present crisis until we find a new religion or rethink and old one. --Lynn White Jr. When it comes to modern civilization, few topics could be as relevant as the one we face in climate change and how our relationship with the earth has brought this state of affairs to be. Mr. White, a professor of medieval history and ecology, hits on a critical point (Vetlesen). Perhaps now is the time to investigate older beliefs and how they might allow us to adapt to our current situation, and perhaps improve it. The term “Native Americans” covers a wide range of individuals, tribes, ethnic groups, and geography. Despite these differences, many Native Americans share a similar belief regarding the treatment of the land and all that lived on it: that the land is sacred and should be respected and treated in a sustainable manner. It is this viewpoint that will be the focus of this paper: demonstrating the effect of European settlers on the United States’ ecology, some of the sustainable practices of Native Americans, and how this may have influenced modern society to practice sustainability. Body According to the dictionary, the term ecology refers to a branch of biological science involving the “relations and interactions between organisms and their environment, including other...

...Centro Educativo Cristiano Oasis de Esperanza Grammar Proyect 1 Student: Larissa Quesada Jimenez Due date: April 16th Subject: Grammar Title of the Project: A grammar Journey 11th Grade 2012 Is Adoption an option? Adoption is one of the decisions that can be made with an unwanted pregnancy. Many women believe this is the best option. Adoption can be very difficult because of the emotional attachment involved. Some women who plan to have their baby adopted change their minds after giving birth. Giving up your child can be a very stressful time in a person's life. Some reasons why women give their baby up for adoption is, because they feel they can not give the baby as much love and support as he/she needs, or they can't financially support a baby at that time. Adoption is something that can be totally confidential and you don't need your parent's signature or consent for anything. Parents can neither force nor prevent adoption because they have no rights to your child. It is only legal to sign papers agreeing to adoption after your baby is at least six weeks old. This gives the mother time to change her mind. An adoption agency will place your child with the best suitable adopters. The mother and father can know as much or as little as they wish about the adoptive parents. After your child has been adopted you then have no right to contact your child. In some cases...
