    Unwind Book Report

    A couple of years ago I read a book called Unwind. This book, written by Neal Shusterman, is about a boy that runs from his family. He ran from his family after they signed a contract to have his body harvested. Being “unwound” happened to be a decision that the parents made. Connor’s parents signed a contract without him knowing. After he found the papers in a drawer, he ran away to save his life. Throughout the book, Connor endures many challenges. His mental stamina allows him to outsmart juvey cops, or police that looked for runaway unwinds. He meets many people, but few become his companions. Unwind is a book that I relate to in unique ways.…

    Smucker's Essay

    1) Smucker’s corporate strategy is to build a portfolio of brands that are sold in the center of every grocery store. They plan to execute this strategy through the organic growth of their products, the development and introduction of new products, and by acquiring brands. The majority of Smucker’s brands share two strategy elements. First, they are ‘middle of the store’ processed foods. Second, they are often high margin products. Another common element among the brands they acquired is the fact that the brands were all industry leading name brands before they were acquired. Such acquisitions were beneficial to the firm not only by diversifying their product line-up, but it gave the firm more leverage when dealing with chain retailers. The type of products they diversified into made sense for the firm as it did not go against their corporate strategy. Any brands that went against the strategy were divested.…

    Leonard Lookner Thesis

    Leonard Lookner served as a committed member of the Mid-Coast Solid Waste Board of Directors who provided a profound historical perspective on our communities. He was a true steward of the environment and his contributions to our company were many. His vision for the future of waste handling and disposal was just that, a vision which he challenged us to imagine. It cannot be overstated that his experience, wisdom and humor were often a centerpiece of meetings he attended. His friendly banter about even the most mundane issues that need attention to keep the work moving forward, helped to get the “less fun stuff” accomplished. If we learned anything from Leonard, it is that you are better off to do things the right way, (especially if it…

    John Smith Thesis

    John Smith is a well known figure in the initial settlement of what was the English commonwealth of Virginia. Many opinions can be made of Smiths accuracy of his feats or his self righteous or overindulgence of his personal feats, but never the less he is a dominant figure in early America, and many of his explorations and views later would form what the mass opinion of American settlers would inhabit. Smith paints early America as a land of great toil and hardships, with hard work and grave hunger, even as far as to compare to a sort of hell, stating “With this lodging and diet, our great extreme toil in bearing and planting palisades so strained and bruised us and our continual labor…

    Beecher Thesis

    Beecher made a case that opened the teaching profession to women when at that time on the 1800’s men were the ones teaching. She had said that women “would make better teachers than the men currently presiding over most classrooms (Meiners, 20). She is the one that helped initiate the panic of male teachers in the classroom by calling them “incompetent” and “intemperate… coarse, hard, unfeeling men, too lazy or stupid” to be entrusted with the care of children. Beecher appealed to the stereotype and pushed for middle class white women, in particular, into public view to work outside the home. With that, in an annual report it was noted that replacing male teachers with women saved the state $11,000, and during that time also that careers in…
