...Goal #1: In a one-on-one clinical setting, Billy will demonstrate an understanding of turn-taking given verbal cues with 80% accuracy in a 30 minute session, measured by observation and data collection. Activity #1: While playing with building blocks (activity), the clinician will tell Billy that they will be building a tower with the blocks (scaffolding), and model (strategy) to Billy by saying, “I will add a block, and then it’s your turn!” Each time a turn is properly taken, a recking ball is moved one step away from the tower, and the recking ball is moved closer to the tower each time a turn is skipped. The clinician will ask, “what do you think will happen if the recking ball gets too close?” (open questions) each time a turn is skipped. Billy needs to use proper turn-taking to successfully stack 8 out of 10 blocks in order...

...Robert Frost is one of America’s most beloved poets, and "Mending Wall" is one of his most popular poems. This poem tells the tale of a rock wall which sits between two properties in the countryside. Something continually destroys this rock wall. A compelling aspect of "Mending Wall" is the Frostian sense of mystery and loneliness. What begins as a quest to discover the identity of the wall-destroyer, ends in a meditation on the value of tradition and boundaries. "Mending Wall" is the first poem in North of Boston, Frost’s second book of poetry. This book was published when Frost was in England, rubbing elbows with the likes of W.B. Yeats, T.S. Eliot, andEzra Pound. Frost was a contemporary of many modernist poetic movements, but he isn’t associated with any particular group of poets. He marched to his own drummer, and as a result, he garnered a good deal of criticism from the literary world. But, it is precisely because he was such an individual and his voice so original that Frost became so beloved. Born in San Francisco, Frost moved to Massachusetts at age eleven following his father’s death. He attended both Dartmouth College and Harvard University, but never earned a college degree. He was, however, often invited to teach at Dartmouth and Harvard later on in his life. You know you’re good when you get to teach college students without having a diploma yourself. After spending some time in England, Frost befriended a lot of poetic giants, including William Butler Yeats...

...Kmart: A Strategy for Survival Lindsay Huston Hamilton Lee Chris Shewchuck Renee Welsh Economics of Competitive Strategy April 30, 2003 Introduction Discount retail has evolved into a highly competitive industry. As a result, discount retail pioneer Kmart, has faltered and fallen into Chapter 11 reorganization. This paper provides analysis of the industry, and a discussion of the firm-specific strategy that Kmart should undertake in order to reestablish itself as a player in the market. Relevant Industry Forces Entry Barriers Entry barriers in the discount retailer industry are high. In order to compete with the likes of Wal-Mart and Target, a company would need a minimum efficient scale to compete on cost. To Kmart’s advantage, it does benefit from a certain amount of economies of scale. The company is still the third largest retailer in the U.S. Once the restructuring plan has been implemented, Kmart plans to have 1,500 stores remaining. But Kmart has to realize, “Everybody today lives under the shadow of Wal-Mart.” 1 Kmart should not fool itself into thinking that its economies of scale in purchasing or its distribution system can compete with Wal-Mart’s. Wal-Mart is known for its expansive, powerful, and efficient inventory and distribution capabilities. It’s also known for its low-cost structure from real estate to labor (non-union). Wal-Mart is now one of the leading buyers of consumer products in the world. Wal-Mart claims it has the biggest private satellite communications...

Nelson, 1979 The Migration of the Indians to the New World. It is believed that the people who Columbus saw when he came to the New World were nomadic hunters from central and East Asia who followed the buffalo and deer. When the herds moved, people moved after them because they were dependent on the animals for food. It is therefore suspected that the herds led the people out of Asia by the north-east, across the Bering Strait and into North America. They crossed the sea by an ice –bridge when it was frozen over during the last Ice-Age. They did not know that they were crossing water from one continent to another. Map 1 Amerindians migration from central Asia into North America. The Amerindians settled throughout North America and were the ancestors of the many Red Indian tribes we know today, as well as the Eskimos in the far north. In general, they were nomadic but some followed settled agricultural pursuits and developed civilizations of their own like the Mayas in South America (check internet reference for profile on this group, focus on...

UNITED STATES CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT No. 08–1394. Argued March 1, 2010—Decided June 24, 2010 Founded in 1985, Enron Corporation grew from its headquarters in Houston, Texas, into the seventh highest-revenue-grossing company in America. Petitioner Jeffrey Skilling, a longtime Enron officer, was Enron’s chief executive officer from February until August 2001, when he resigned. Less than four months later, Enron crashed into bankruptcy, and its stock plummeted in value. After an investigation uncovered an elaborate conspiracy to prop up Enron’s stock prices by overstating the company’s financial well-being, the Government prosecuted dozens of Enron employees who participated in the scheme. In time, the Government worked its way up the chain of command, indicting Skilling and two other top Enron executives. These three defendants, the indictment charged, engaged in a scheme to deceive investors about Enron’s true financial performance by...
