...Eldersburg PTA Scholarship Eldersburg Elementary was not only my elementary school, it was my first stepping stone towards my future success. Although when I was in elementary school I woke up every day dreading going to school, reflecting on my experience has made me grateful for the lessons I learned. As a high school senior who is about to move on to college and then into the business world, I have realized the value of my experience at EES and its motto of “Working Together, Learning Forever”. As I am about to graduate and move on to college, I hear my classmates and peers constantly say, “College is all that matters” and saying how elementary, middle, and high school don’t affect you. Although it may be true that when you apply for a job they aren’t going to care about elementary, middle, high school; but what they fail to acknowledge if it weren’t for these stepping stones, they wouldn’t have that job interview anyway....

...True Grit Kennedy shuffled her shoes as the doctor delivered the horrible diagnosis. A neurological disease called Battens disease that attacks nerve cells. It is a terminal illness, and she only had a short time left to fulfill her her life. Her dream of becoming a cheerleader is fulfilled when the cheer team invites her to cheer at a football game. Her compelling personality inspires others to persevere in their own lives. Unparalleled to the talent or ability of an individual, is their passion, their perseverance, their grit. These people are the outliers; they are so far beyond the ordinary person, that their success is questionable. So how do they do it? Research has found that the secret of success is the Grit in an individual; it is...

...9300 [pic][pic] [pic] ----------------------- Sometimes it is recommended that those in early recovery from alcoholism seek psychological support. Many people drink to "self-medicate" from otherwise intolerable feelings, such as anxiety, depression, and even mania or hallucinations. These things may not go away once you get sober. In fact, they may become harsher. Advertisement While internists are an excellent resource for those of us struggling with strictly medical problems, and can be useful to you in retrieving your physical strength, it is recommended that you seek psychiatric support for any questions/concerns regarding your mental health. It is highly recommended that you do research on psychiatrists who specifically have experience in the area of alcoholism. Alcoholism/Addiction are largely under-researched and misunderstood-even in the medical field. Thus, it is crucial that you examine your options prior to treatment so that you can receive the highest and most appropriate level of care. Expert opinions, such as from the renowned David Gastfriend, MD of Harvard Medical School, are a good place to start your research. Contact us at 919-269 -9300 www.steppingstonescri.org One of the important factors that many people both in the field of therapy and in early recovery neglect is an understanding of the medical and psychological components of the disease of addiction. People often get mired into the logistical, and, of course, essential...

...The focus of our work is to evaluate, recognize and discuss the adoptions, progress and achievements of the EU efforts in harmonizing their accounting framework within their region and with other nations worldwide. 1. Introduction The Fourth and Seventh Law Directives provide a basis for the preparation of the accounts of companies in the EU. The Directives however do not provide a universal standard which was required for the users in the 1990s mainly in the US, when major European companies were seeking globalization efforts in listing their companies across regions onto their various capital markets. In 2002, a decision by the European Union (EU) led to the passing of a International Accounting Standard (IAS) regulation. Requiring all listed companies in the EU to prepare their accounts in accordance with the International Accounting Standards (IAS). International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) was established in 2001 to 2. Motives of harmonizing accounting practices The initial standards set by EU and any other nations in early centuries were more to accommodate to individual business structure and analyzing needs, rather than for external reporting purposes. The needs were more focus on individual rather than for mass review or scrutiny. At that point of time standards and harmonization of reporting were not highly regarded for as businesses...

Wheat is harvested in the Midwest and stored in grain elevators in three different cities—Kansas City, Omaha, and Des Moines. These grain elevators supply three flour mills, located in Chicago, St. Louis, and Cincinnati. Grain is shipped to the mills in railroad cars, each of which is capable of holding one ton of wheat. Each grain elevator is able to supply the following number of tons (i.e., railroad cars) of wheat to the mills on a monthly basis: Grain Elevator 1. Kansas City 2. Omaha 3. Des Moines Total Supply 150 175 275 600 tons Each mill demands the following number of tons of wheat per month. Mill A. Chicago B. St. Louis C. Cincinnati Total Demand 200 100 300 600 tons The cost of transporting one ton of wheat from each grain elevator (source) to each mill (destination) differs according to the distance and rail system. These costs are shown in the following table. For example, the cost of shipping one ton of wheat from the grain elevator at Omaha to the mill at Chicago is $7. Mill Grain Elevator 1. Kansas City 2. Omaha 3. Des Moines A. Chicago $6 7 4 B. St. Louis $ 8 11 5 C. Cincinnati $10 11 12 The problem is to determine how many tons of wheat to transport from each...

...The information learned in English 111 will have a major impact in my life. This class was created to teach students how to write properly and understand different genres of writing and to emphasize the importance of writing. As numerous of us continue our educational paths, it will be critical to understand the fundamentals of writing, and I am positive this class will be a great stepping stone. Through the course’s heavy focus on annotation, writing, and analyzation, I hope to learn new information that can act as a stepping stone for my career path. My intentions for this class is to learn the valuable tools of writing and reading, not receiving an A. English 111 is a class focused heavily on writing, so I expect to learn different formats of writing such as essays and articles and how to write them properly. In order to achieve a full, detailed understanding of different writing techniques, it is essential for students to be exposed to a variety of texts. I expect the class to be assigned different forms of writings to achieve a better understanding of different types of texts. As we read our assigned passages, many of us will portray words and ideas that differ from each other. Because of our different backgrounds...

...Success is not an eventual pinnacle. It is an odyssey that has multiple peaks, and at each peak one must strive to attain his goal and culminate his efforts into something fruitful. Different people have myriad opinions about success. Some relate it with money, some with power. However, for me “success is peace of mind, which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to do your best, to become the best of that you are capable of becoming.” It consists in being content with what you do!! Success is something one assembles from components he discovers in his soul and his imagination. It can be achieved by knowing, understanding, believing in oneself, and executing the apposite actions required to achieve it. “The truth is that all of us attain the greatest success and blithe possible in this life whenever we use our native capacities to their greatest extent.” “Do not aim for success if you want it! Just do what you love and believe in, and…it will come naturally.” Sorrowfully, success has been commercialized with fame and popularity. “The common idea that success spoils people by making them vain, egotistic, and self-complacent is erroneous; on the contrary it makes them-for the most part- humble, tolerant, and kind.” Setbacks also help in achieving success. It is very aptly said that discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success. Multi-faceted success doesn’t lie in not...

...American people are actively attempting to change the system through peaceful and legal reform and provides the stepping stones for the reform of other human rights issues. As the conditions for women and slaves worsened and worsened sympathy for abolition and suffrage began to grow as well. The slave and the women had a fair share in common, both could not vote, both could not hold property(women could not hold property when they married), both were treated and seen as objects by their master/husband, and both could be legally beaten by their master/husband. Eventually, a large suffrage and abolition movement began to quickly gain speed in America. The Engraving by Patrick Reason in Document C, depicts an african american female slave with the words “Am I not a Women and A sister” engraved above the depiction. This engraving was meant to encourage a working together of the abolitionist and suffrage movements because they were largely after the same goal: equality. Also, at the time, it was generally one or the other, abolition or suffrage, women wanted suffrage more than abolition because abolition had stronger political and economic ties and would be much harder to achieve, and thus they gave up on it. However, while the suffrage movement and the abolition movement did not gain immediate success, they did raise awareness for their cause and provide a critical stepping stone in the progression of American civil rights issues. Almost every political or civil rights movement experiences...

...executives got together and came up with a strategy that grows the company. They had to capitalize on success to capture greater share in markets. What this mean is they had to go a step higher than where the company currently stands. I think because they don’t want to get comfortable and stuck and can’t grow. They also are looking for new opportunities for the company to expand. With this being said they are trying to develop a broader range of cleaning and sanitizing products. They want to keep up with competition and exceed them. I think once they got everything done nationally they want to go globally; they probably realize there are more opportunities besides in the U.S. and want to be the first or one of the first to expand globally. Stepping into the health market probably was a stepping stone for Ecolab. HR took the lead to develop and implement a global pipeline program so the company could develop the leadership talent it needed to grow. To summarize, Ecolab had to implement a strategic plan. With all the growth Ecolab would grow double its size and they had to be prepared and ready. Discuss Ecolab’s talent management philosophy. There are several philosophies that are involved in Ecolab talent management. They are: a. Talent is shared: Basically everyone had to step in and help out where needed. They are all there to serve a purpose and it’s the success of the company. b. Promoting within: Why go out and find talent and workers when they have qualified...

...freedom. For some, it includes a boat, a RV, and a cottage by the lake. However, another definition of success doesn’t list any of these. Success does not have anything to do with material goods but is rather tied to broader concepts. One measure of success is how happy a person is. For some people, they might feel their happiest when they have luxurious items. However, this is not universally true and is consequently not a true measure of success. Happiness for most people is a happy and loving family. If this is someone’s definition of success, then their family is what defines their success. For some, this success might mean trying new things and a lifestyle that supports it. Success is tied in with happiness because they are both highly subjective. Health can also be considered a defining factor in success. People feel unsuccessful if they, or someone they love, are not healthy. For instance, can father feel successful if his child is ill? This is why doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and hospitals are so important. Not only do they allow people to live longer, but they also allow people to feel successful in their life. Finally, success can mean overcoming hardships. No one likes hard and rough times with tears and pain. Someone who has come through the pain often feels like he or she has accomplished something. An individual that has overcome an obstacle achieves a measure of success. As David Brinkley has stated, a man can be proud if he has laid “a firm foundation with the bricks...

...– as he puts it, the company is his ministry. When asked to what extent his spiritual perspective is responsible for the successes/failures, I guess the we have to define what is success and what is failure. For Tom, success is staying true to his values, creating the moral framework and fashioning the entire company upon it. Numbers, or profits, are almost secondary to this. What he considered failures occurred when the company began to make all of its decisions based on profitability, almost to the point of forsaking his ethical & moral standards. What the business world would look at as failures (low profits, or in some years losses), were stepping stones for creating the successful morally & ethically pure business Tom desired. It was, after all, these “failures” which led him to studies at the Harvard Divinity School, which in turn strongly influenced his finalized mission statement & statement of beliefs. As the initial success of the company grew & Tom hired professionals/young MBA's to expand, there were conflicts (as in the suggestion of adding saccharin to the toothpaste) because the new team was making decisions based on numbers (profit) rather than Tom's vision to commitment to natural products. The addition of saccharin would have achieved more financial success, but would have been perceived as a failure by Tom to go against his own commitment. The possible risks an organization might encounter when encouraging spiritual expression/values...
