...Timothy Eaton created the first and largest Canadian department store in 1869, until it ceased operations in 1999. Before this, he was born in Ireland in 1834 to a modest Presbyterian family. Leaving school at age eighteen, he began an apprenticeship with a dry goods merchant and learned the basics of business and quickly developed empathy for the workers who worked hard long hours with little pay to show for it. Five years and only a hundred pounds sterling later, he followed his brother and immigrated to Canada in 1857, and opened a store with him in St. Mary’s where he remained until 1867. The 1850s held an economic depression, devastating many places, although Eaton’s store endured it fairly well. It is because of this however, as well...

...GTA. Results of the data analyzed indicate that Uniqlo’s direct market share and target group competitors have positioned themselves in high traffic retail areas in close proximity to one another capitalizating on the traffic created in the competitive environment. These centralized shopping hubs reveal a correlation between mall patron statistics and the surrounding trade area population. Of the 7 locations examined, those closely aligned with Uniqlo’s target market group were ranked to evaluate their merits based on weighted dimensions including: age range, income level, competitive environment, and the distance that prospects live from the retail location. Yorkdale Shopping Centre, Square One Shopping Centre, Queen West, and the Toronto Eaton Centre performed well and scored high on the ranking model.

...Character Sketch: Tobias Eaton In Veronica Roth’s Insurgent, Tobias Eaton or “Four”, as he is otherwise referred to, is intelligent, loving and strong. He is intelligent both in love and in warfare. Tobias proves his intelligence when he gives Tris, his girlfriend, an ultimatum. She continuously throws herself into situations where she acts recklessly by risking her life and Tobias will have none of it. He grows so tired of her behaviour that he says to her, “You are a sixteen-year-old girl who doesn’t understand that the value of a sacrifice lies in its necessity, not in throwing your life away! And if you do that again, you and I are done” (260). Tobias is able to identify the signs of someone who can potentially hurt him. He knows that if something awful happens to Tris, he will be affected as well, so in order to prevent himself from possible heartbreak, he warns his girlfriend. The fact that he sees value in life shows his intelligence. Tobias’ actions toward his partner also exhibit that he has an affectionate side. He cares enough about her that he is willing to subtly threaten her if she does not stop trying to destroy herself. Tobias constantly tells Tris how much she means to him and performs a series of romantic gestures. As the two of them get ready for combat, Tris tells Tobias that she is unable to fire a weapon, but all he says back to her is, “Hey. You have done more for this faction than any other person. You...you’re the bravest person I’ve ever met. Stay here...

Zara is concerned that she will be “house poor” if she purchases a condo at the present time. However, after a closer look at her savings for initially staying at home until the possession date in mid 2018, she will have enough funds for a decent size condo unit and not be house poor. To ensure that Zara was making the right decision, a closer look at relevant facts including the macro environment, personal financial situation and preferences, and options would be appropriate.

They are found primarily in Atlantic Coastland lowland rainforests (Sara Prado 2014) and there presence in these rainforests is a good indicator of the health of that ecosystem (MeGee and Eaton 2013). Secondary forest growth, or the growth of a forest after it has been deforested has been a large topic of study for scientists and Bullet Ants can help scientist see the effects of deforestation (MeGee and Eaton 2013).

...(MHRA). It guards the population from malicious activities of a rogue researcher. Any unethical behavior or choice done by an individual the organization can be fueled. In this paper, I will examine the unethical behavior and conviction of Steve Eaton who worked in the Pharmaceutical Apuit. He manipulated important safety tests on several potentially new drugs. Steven Eaton was scientist in a pharmaceutical company in Edinburgh. From 2003- 2009 Eaton researched data while working for a drug development firm. The research process, within the pharmaceutical industry, consisted of numerous verified tests which were falsified. The potential product results had to be safe before the product is able to move to clinical trials on human beings. Without passing results on all pre-tests, new potential pharmaceutical products will not make it to human trials. Eaton falsified data in order to secure funding for the clinical trials on people. However, his bosses recognized serious abnormalities in his work. This case was later referred to The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) who in turn launched a deeper investigation. This investigation was done to determine the extent of damage these abnormalities caused. Steve Eaton actions altering the test results to gain it is a risk to public health and...

Determining the appropriate marketing mix for the Eaton tablet would consist of defining exactly what the tablet does and how it can be incorporated to every business out there to get the same output. Developing a distribution plan and deciding on how Eaton intends to make the tablet known and available to the target market. It is essential to determine whether the product is perceived by consumers as a necessity or a luxury item. In addition, determining the goal to sell the tablet in a vast number of consumers or would be preferred to sell only in a selected market would significantly impact the final...

...Critical Thinking and Decision-making Ronald Williams Jr MGT/350 Mar-29-2010 Henry Kelley Critical Thinking and Decision-making To understand the relationship and role critical thinking plays in decision-making, people must first understand the meaning of the terms decision-making, and critical thinking. Illustrating the vast and always changing circumstances around an organization or decision maker, decision-making is not [an assembly line operation, it is messy, chaotic, and a twisted, unshapely, halting flow] (McCall & Kaplan, 1990). Meaning the decision-making process is constantly changing because of the influence of the rapidly changing internal and external factors on the decision maker. To conceptualize critical thinking, look at it as an active process of critical and creative inquiry, an active cognitive approach, and rational assessment of information. This process is, “Based on an understanding and awareness of logical analysis that permit a rational evaluation of arguments” (Sanders & Wiseman, 1994, para. 4). Knowing that decision-making is an ever changing process, with a multitude of influencing factors, and critical thinking is a process influenced by reasoning and logical evaluation of facts, circumstances, and events. Applying the critical thinking process to the decisions made every day will improve, clarify, and target the decisions made to the problem or issue, ultimately improving the ability to make better decisions, communicate...

...imperative. A number of different medications and therapies have answered this call, including art therapy, the “emerging new discipline whose practice has diversified across an increasingly wide range of client groups since the mid-1980s” (Evans 99). A form of intervention based on psychoanalytic theory, art therapy harbors a safe environment in which the client can express their thoughts and emotions through mediums such as visual arts, music, poetry, and dance in order to recover from psychological distress (Eaton, et al. 256; “Evidence In-Sight” 4). Because youth are more willing to participate in imaginative creative expression than adults, many art therapists believe that art therapy is most successful when utilized with their younger clients (Eaton, et al. 257). Since children often have difficulty putting their emotions, experiences, and memories into words, art therapy can provide a “common language by which the child and the therapist can communicate” (Eaton, et al. 261). Research demonstrates that art therapy is an effective form of treatment for youth suffering from depression, autism, and trauma. The introduction of art therapy to youth affected by depression can be valuable. A study by Rawly Silver, an art therapist and educator, demonstrates that the Stimulus Drawing Task (SDT) and the Draw a Story (DAS), two art-based assessments, are a reliable way to identify children and adolescents that are at-risk for developing depression (“Evidence In-Sight” 7). However...
