...and Plot Summary of “The Glass Menagerie” by Tennessee Williams Before beginning this summary and analysis of “Glass Menagerie” by Tennessee Williams, it is important to point out that this play is not happening in the narrator’s (Tom’s) present, but it is based on his memories. The setting of “The Glass Menagerie” is a cramped apartment in a lower-class part of St. Louis in the year 1937. The main character and narrator of “The Glass Menagerie” by Tennessee Williams, Tom, is in a merchant sailor’s uniform and he details the setting even further, telling us that America’s lower classes are still recovering from the Great Depression. In the early stages of the plot of the Glass Menagerie, we also learn that his father left the family a long time ago, even though there is a picture of him that is plain sight throughout “The Glass Menagerie”. While Tom is speaking (as well as throughout the play) pay attention to the screen which presents certain words and images important to the text and try to imagine how this might be if you were sitting in the audience. In these first few scenes of “The Glass Menagerie” by Tennessee Williams, we meet the mother, Amanda, who still seems caught up in her life as a former Southern belle. She chides both of her children about being odd (Laura wears a brace on her leg and is painfully shy while Tom writes poetry and disappears every night to go the movies and get away from the depressing house). Laura is a fragile figure and collects glass animals...

...Materials, and Environmental Issues KENNETH MARSH, PH.D., AND BETTY BUGUSU, PH.D. The Institute of Food Technologists has issued this Scientific Status Summary to update readers on food packaging and its impact on the environment. Keywords: food packaging, food processing dvances in food processing and food packaging play a primary role in keeping the U.S. food supply among the safest in the world. Simply stated, packaging maintains the benefits of food processing after the process is complete, enabling foods to travel safely for long distances from their point of origin and still be wholesome at the time of consumption. However, packaging technology must balance food protection with other issues, including energy and material costs, heightened social and environmental consciousness, and strict regulations on pollutants and disposal of municipal solid waste. Municipal solid waste (MSW) consists of items commonly thrown away, including packages, food scraps, yard trimmings, and durable items such as refrigerators and computers. Legislative and regulatory efforts to control packaging are based on the mistaken perception that packaging is the major burden of MSW. Instead, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) found that approximately only 31% of the MSW generated in 2005 was from packaging-related materials, including glass, metal, plastic, paper, and paperboard—a percentage that has remained relatively constant since the 1990s despite an increase in the total amount of...

...A Case Study of Wal-Mart’s “Green” Supply Chain Management Adam Heying Whitney Sanzero MGT 520 Operations Management Professor Jim Constand May 4, 2009 Summary Supply chain management has been the cornerstone to Wal-Mart’s success and remains their primary competitive advantage in the retail/department store industry. Their distribution system is generally regarded as the most efficient and they have an approach to supply chain management that has long emphasized visibility through the sharing of information with their suppliers. Although there are hundreds of logistical functions which allow Wal-Mart to be the price and logistics leader, the focus will be primarily on the company’s newly adopted strategy of making logistical processes “green” and more environmentally conscious. According to the Supply Chain Management Review, Wal-Mart CEO Lee Scott committed the company to three ambitious goals: to be supplied 100 percent by renewable energy; to create zero waste; and to sell products that sustain Wal-Mart’s resources and the environment. Wal-Mart’s 14 Sustainable Value Networks, the Network’s structure, new “green” logistics technologies, and additional future initiatives will be considered along with counter arguments which suggest that Wal-Mart’s green initiative is simply unsustainable. The main sticking point seems to be the same one that has long held back the adoption of better light bulbs...

...Executive Summary Although minorities and women have made some headway in management and professional positions in the last decade, the corporate "glass ceiling" still appears to be an obstacle to their advancement into senior leadership. We have done a qualitative research on the factors that are responsible for glass ceiling and the factors that help women find a way to get around the glass ceiling. We have followed an exploratory research design approach wherein we have used interview as the basis to get down to the factors. Background of the Problem Historically, India has been a male-dominated society. But in the past few decades, certain changes in our society have widened the arena for women. Be it managerial roles in corporate world, academics, politics, women are increasingly becoming more visible. Globalization has also helped bring concepts such as gender diversity in leadership roles. As opportunities for women have increased so now women are entering professions which were previously seen as the domain of men in the corporate world .But there are invisible and artificial barriers that impede women from advancing to senior leadership positions which is popularly known as “Glass Ceiling” .Glass ceiling describes the barriers that women face in the workplace. The word "ceiling" suggests that women are blocked from advancing in their careers due to many factors, and the term "glass" is used because the ceiling is not always discernible. Although many women hold...

...3D Printed Glass for the Correction of Eye Defects Shyam Vignesh Perumal1 Affiliations: 1 Department of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering, University of South Florida Abstract: We propose to use 3D printing for fabrication of glasses providing image correction for myopia. Since myopia commonly known short-sightedness is a condition characterized by the light focusing in from of retina instead of on its surface, concave lenses are typically used for correction. Unfortunately price of the glasses is high and in developing countries, people cannot afford buying them. We propose to use 3D printing technology for making out glasses for low cost. Additionally 3D printing gives flexibility of the design and allows adding more sophisticated components...

...of the overlapped sensing areas, A, and divided by the distance which separates the two sensing areas, d. MATERIALS The material of the MEMS accelerometer is conductive doped silicon. Due to the material’s properties it is used since there are regions that need to be isolated from each other to avoid short circuits during electrical measurements and testing. Other material used in the fabrication steps includes metal (chrome, gold and platinum), glass and other etching chemicals such as hydrofluoric acid. FABRICATION METHODS 1. Silicon on Glass (SOG) process. The process is an etching process step which requires the usage of hydrofluoric acid. Starting with the glass wafer, it is etched by the acid at certain rate which creates the tapered slope from the recess’s bottom to the original planar surface of the glass wafer. In summary, the SOG process forms suspended silicon over the glass recess with an air gap of 3µm. The deposited electrode extends from the glass recess to the glass wafer’s original surface. Next, a bare 4” glass wafer of 500µm thickness is used as the substrate. A chrome layer is...

...CASE 1: ZAUNER ORNAMENTS Table of Contents I. CASE SUMMARY 2 II. POINT OF VIEW 2 III. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM 2 IV. FRAMEWORK OF ANALYSIS 2 V. ANALYSIS 2 VI. DISCUSSION OF RESULTS AND RECOMMENDATION 4 VII. APPENDIX 5 VIII. REFERENCES 9 I. CASE SUMMARY Chia-yi Yu, the new controller of Zauner ornaments, decided to research Zauner’s current costing methods. She approached her senior analyst, Yung Chen, to prepare an analysis of unit-product costs for each of Zauner’s products, namely small glass ball ornaments, large glass ball ornaments, and specialty glass ball ornaments. Using information from the sales department, Chen calculated the cost per box using traditional volume-based costing system and as a result, small glass ornaments’ cost is more than twice higher than its selling price, which means the company is losing money. David Metz, the directory of Operations, analyzed the results and suggested to redo the calculations and to try allocating overhead to each product based upon direct materials and direct labor. Chen calculated the cost per box using Metz’ suggested approach and found that product costs are below current sales price. Yet, Chia-Yu was not fully convinced of this approach and realized that activity-based costing (ABC) system might reflect Zauner’s product costs more accurately and serve as a basis for better product-pricing decisions. II. POINT OF VIEW The analysis of Zauner Ornaments’ cost allocation per...

...as a tenant at Thrushcross Grange, an isolated manor in thinly populated Yorkshire. Shortly after arriving at the Grange, he pays a visit to his landlord, Mr. Heathcliff, a surly, dark man living in a manor called Wuthering Heights—“wuthering” being a local adjective used to describe the fierce and wild winds that blow during storms on the moors. During the visit, Heathcliff seems not to trust Lockwood, and leaves him alone in a room with a group of snarling dogs. Lockwood is saved from the hounds by a ruddy-cheeked housekeeper. When Heathcliff returns, Lockwood is angry, but eventually warms toward his taciturn host, and—though he hardly feels that he has been welcomed at Wuthering Heights—he volunteers to visit again the next day. Summary: Chapter II On a chilly afternoon not long after his first visit, Lockwood plans to lounge before the fire in his study, but he finds a servant dustily sweeping out the fireplace there, so instead he makes the four-mile walk to Wuthering Heights, arriving just as a light snow begins to fall. He knocks, but no one lets him in, and Joseph, an old servant who speaks with a thick Yorkshire accent, calls out from the barn that Heathcliff is not in the house. Eventually a rough-looking young man comes to let him in, and Lockwood goes into a sitting room where he finds a beautiful girl seated beside a fire. Lockwood assumes she is Heathcliff’s wife. He tries to make conversation, but she responds rudely. When Heathcliff arrives, he corrects...

...Eyewitness Evidence Executive Summary Learning Team A CJA/364 February 17, 2015 Jeff Walters University of Phoenix Eyewitness Evidence Executive Summary Law enforcement officials have many resources and techniques to help apprehend suspects. The help of an eyewitness is one of the most beneficial resources they can receive. One way an eyewitness can help identify a suspect is by being involved in a police lineup. Another way an eyewitness can help capture a suspect is by getting involved in a composite image. The suspect lineup allows the witness a chance to help the police find the suspect in a crime. It is important for the police to maintain a good status when doing an eyewitness lineup because there have been many people falsely accused trough these lineups. The police believe with the witness present at the crime, he or she saw everything that happened and could possibly identify the suspect (Huff, 2002). The lineup consists of individuals that line up in a row that preferably look the same in gender, facial hair, ethnicity, age, and height (“Dallas Police Department”, n.d.). The witness should meditate back on the incident, and the officer must remind the eyewitness that the suspect may not be present. The police prefer the observer to use his or her memory when selecting from the police lineup, and during the lineup, the police should not coerce the witness in any form. The witness is assured by police of his or her security...
