...“He told me that is was about time we partnered on something, and I was going to move there to run it, so I did.” Barrett and Crofoot Feedyard came to life during the summer of 1975, with a young Jay Crofoot at the helm. In just a few short years Crofoot helped to establish Barrett and Crofoot Feedyard as one of the most dependable in the panhandle. However he accredits most of his success to his wife Reena. “She sure is something.” Crofoot says of his wife. “You can take a good woman and a sorry man, and make a decent man out of him.” However Reena sings quite a different tune of her husband of nearly 64 years. “He’s been with me from the beginning.” Reena said. “We’ve hit some rough times, but I wouldn’t have changed it for the world.” Although Crofoot did his best to support his family, the cattle market is often unpredictable. Reena recalls the first time the two ever really fell on hard times because of a bad investment. “I remember the first time we ever went broke, Jay came home and told me what he’d done. He went out and bought some cattle that really cost him.” Reena said. “I asked him how many people knew we were broke, well he told me no one knew, so I told him to get out there and buy some more before anyone found out.” Falling on hard times didn’t stop this young entrepreneur though. He continued to persevere and grow the feedyard to become on of the largest family owned cattle operations in the country, with a capacity of 140,000 head according to barrettcrofoot...

...In my own opinion it started very different, it caught my attention in a way I thought I wouldn’t be caught. Usually it is action, describing of a character or the intro to the story like how the world was and how it acted such saying I am a large fan of fantasy books. In The Name of the Wind it started with a descriptive way of an empty inn, that I didn’t expect and how descriptive they explained the silence was also what caught my eye. The Name of the Wind started out not like any book or story I have read or found online, it caught me well and as I explain further, those will see that I am very keen on reading more. I may read more later into the evening but for now, I wish to talk about the first few pages I have read. As the setting starts in the late night, what seems to be a small crowd gathered in a tavern as one named Cob would tell stories to those around. Cob seems to be the fun of the group from first impressions of him, the one that you would go to have fun but never take the advice he gives. The group is of five that seem to know each other well, good friends from what it seems. A blacksmiths apprentice from first impressions seems to be the curious one of the five, the one that wants to learn more and seems quite interested in Cobs stories. There are three others, Jake, Graham and Shep. They don’t go into detail with Graham and Shep except Graham is still known as new in the small town even though he lived there for a year, but that is how it is when you live in...

...The Growth Mind-set This is one of the most important topics discussed in Little Bets. Chapter 2 of the book is about contrasting two types of mind-sets; the growth mind set vs. the fixed mind-set. As mentioned throughout the book, experimental innovators are not rigid in pursuit of their first ideas and preserve through many failures and move on quickly. In approaching their challenging goals, they accept the fact that they will face many unpredictable obstacles, risks and even breakdowns which they have to cope with and overcome without considerable emotional impacts. These characteristics of experimental innovators are results of having a growth mind-set. People with this mind-set are always willing to grow hence more open to accept new challenges and risks. They do not seek validation of others after every performance, and do not believe that their failures reflect their capabilities and do not get disappointed by them. As a result, they do not stop trying new things until they gain major accomplishments. On the other hand, people with fixed mind-sets avoid taking new challenges because they are afraid of the possible failures. Any negative comment, failure, or bad performance tends to destroy their self-image; consequently, their main concern becomes seeking validation of others by trying to look smart and successful. They place so much emphasis on minimizing risks and errors that they keep doing things they are already good at instead of trying new things. As a result...

...Royal Road, Mahebourg Dear Reena, It is an immense pleasure to know that you are coming to Mauritius on Thursday 24 March 2016 at 13 hr. I am very glad that I will meet you after ten years but unfortunately I will not be able to come to pick you at the airport as my left leg has been broken and it is causing a real pain. For the mean time, I am bed ridden and luckily my mother is taking great care of me. She is doing all the house chores alone and feel downhearted that I am not able to move a step further. My mother is very happy to welcome you and we have accommodated a room for you at my place. Arriving at the airport, after verification of your luggage, you will have to hire a taxi which will take you directly to Mahebourg and then explain the driver that on the motorway he will come across a shop named Kalachand, he will have to turn left on this direction and continue to drive straight till he will arrive to the last lane and just turn right and at the end of the road on the left side you will see a big white house which means that you have arrived at your destination. I know it is difficult but don’t worry you will arrive safe and sound at my place and if ever you have lost the way then just ask someone to show you the right path. I am very sorry for not coming to fetch you but still will wait for you desperately. With...

...Something that really fascinated me on our field trip was that we got to witness history of Victoria and British Columbia. It was really fascinating that we got to see firsthand on what happened back in those times. I enjoyed looking over the island where the Chinese were held, you could feel the sensation through the air and it was very emotional. I also really enjoyed going on that tour inside the castle, it was really interesting on how the rooms were laid out and what people even wore. It was a great and eye opening experience. I think for me that changed my entire outlook on the trip was about the story of Reena Virk, and how racism and bullying go a long way. Another turning point was the grave stones of the Chinese workers and how finally they got a chance to be remembered. That was also really eye opening because everyone should be remembered and not just by the color of their skin. Overall this field trip was extremely long but worth the wait. Professor Green did an amazing job on all the explanations he gave and the great detail. Without him, I don’t think the trip would have been as good. The only thing I didn’t like about the field trip was there was no mixture of cohorts, and I thought that was one of the main things this field trip intended to do, was to make everyone a closer family. It was disappointing but it was a great experience. In conclusion, I want to thank everyone who participated and all those that made it happen. Also a big thank you to Dr. Motherwell...

...Reena S Feb 27 The Haunted Mansion There once was a boy named Todd. He is known as the superior daredevil. He can do any dare known to man. But one dare could have made him almost killed. He could have disappeared. One day, Nancy Bullock taunted Todd. “If you think you’re so tough, then I challenge you to go to the haunted mansion and stay there for a whole night” Nancy said. Everyone knew that the manor was vacant for over 50 years. Everybody wants to know how that will turn out. “Whatever, you’re on”. Todd exclaimed. When Todd was at the gate, dim clouds appeared. Lightning struck the roof. While he was slowly walking in, he saw that the door was opened .When he ascended into the house, he heard a loud squeak. He was questioning what it was. The first thing he gazed at was the living room. It was all filthy. The only stuff there was a T.V. and a couch and they were covered with immense plastic bags. Then he arrived at the kitchen. In a second, there were knives coming at him. He leaned to his right and the knives punctured into the wall. For the first time, Todd felt apprehensive. When Todd was walking upstairs, he found a show case. It was clogged with swords and paintings. He opened it and swung a sword. Then, he took a painting and looked closely. It looked like his dad. He was Todd’s best friend until he left the family. Todd was about to weep. He couldn’t look at it. Todd shattered the image to the ground. Suddenly a ghost appeared. “Get out of...

...Handout on Income statement Instructor: Dr. Reena Kohli Peter Hynes created a working model of a new and improved commercial paint spray, which he had patented. The patent had a legal life of 16 years remaining. Hynes was eager to exploit his patent commercially but he had no funds of his own. Several of Hynes’ friends, who had used prototypes of Hynes’ paint spray, offered to invest in a new corporation with a capitalization of $200,000 par value capital stock to further develop, manufacture, and market the spray and its related equipment. Before making their investment, the investors asked Hynes to prepare a profit plan projecting the company’s initial year of operation along with an end-of-year balance sheet. Hynes agreed to prepare the requested information incorporating the following projected transactions: 1. In return for signing his patent over to the new company, which was to be called Dispensers of California, Inc., Hynes would receive 60 percent of the company’s capital stock. For their part, the investors would contribute $80,000 cash for a 40 percent interest in the company. 2. Incorporation costs, $2,500 3. Equipment to be used in assembling the paint spray dispensers, $85,000. 4. Out-of-pocket labour and development costs to redesign the paint dispenser to facilitate more efficient assembling, $25,000. 5. Component part purchases, $212,100. 6. Short- term loan from local banks, $30,000. (Loan to be repaid before the end of the year with $500 interest...

...Name: - R B V Pratap Singh Roll No. 47LLB14 Synopsis Property Law Women's Right to Property under Hindu law: A Legal Analysis Introduction:- In India, it is no doubt that a woman is seen as pristine, pious and worshipped on one hand but on the other hand she faces discrimination against her gender identity and victimized by the societal norms created in male dominant society. She never got the legitimate place and never enjoyed a respected position in the society even after all the civilization and societal revolutions. Male superiority is still a legitimate concern for any society and adverse conditions for women are still widely prevalent. The emancipation of women and the accomplishment of full balance between genders should dependably be the essential goal of society. Such denial cannot be justified on any grounds – political, moral or legal and not even biological. If we look through the ancient Hindu Society, a woman did not enjoy any reasonable social status and looked upon as a dependent with hardly any property rights. Under the old Mitakshara Law, the son attains an interest and right in the family property on birth. According to this school, a son, grandson, and a great grandson constitute a class of coparceners, based on births in family. No female is a member of the coparcenary in Mitakshara Law. The constitution of India guarantees equality of opportunity and equal status to both men and women citizen. Since article 14 of the Constitution enshrines...

...L esson 8 *August 15–21 Cross-Cultural Missions Sabbath Afternoon Read for This Week’s Study: John 4:4–30, Matt. 8:5–13, Mark 5:1–20, Matt. 15:21–28, Luke 17:11–19, John 12:20–32. Memory Text: “ ‘Behold! My Servant whom I have chosen, My Beloved in whom My soul is well pleased! I will put My Spirit upon Him, and He will declare justice to the Gentiles’ ” (Matthew 12:18, NKJV). H ow interesting that Jesus spent so much of His earlier years in Galilee, known as “Galilee of the Gentiles” (Matt. 4:15), no doubt named because of the non-Jewish influence in the province. In this region, in Nazareth, Jesus spent the majority of His years before starting His public ministry. Thanks to its position, Nazareth was near major routes traveled by Roman army units, as well as merchant caravans. As a result, Jesus must have been in contact with non-Jews His whole early life (not to mention the time in Egypt). After His rejection in Nazareth (see Luke 4:16–31), Jesus centered His ministry in the cosmopolitan Galilean city of Capernaum. Contacts with Gentiles and their world significantly impacted His ministry and teaching. Even though He focused on Israel, the wider world was His concern. During the more than three years of His ministry between His baptism and ascension, on at least six occasions Jesus had direct contact with persons from Gentile nations. We will look this week at the Gospel accounts of these contacts. * Study this week’s lesson to prepare for Sabbath, August 22. 64...
