...THERE is no love so lasting, so strong, so disinterested, so unselfish, so devoted as that first and purest of all loves, a mother's love. It begins with your birth, and ends with her death. It will follow you through childhood, youth, and manhood, from the cradle to the grave--if not in reality, in memory; it will stimulate you to every noble and heroic action you may contemplate or do, and deter you from many an evil one. The memory of it alone will sweeten many a cup of sorrow in after years, lighten many an hour of darkness, and the soft music of her voice in gentle accents you will oft hear years after she, perhaps, is no more. You may lose everything in this world, and a mother's love will alone stick by you; you may go down, down to the lowest depths of degradation, be steeped in crime and sin, an outcast from your fellow beings, when, at the eleventh hour, the memory of your mother and her undying love may come like a golden cloud, and with all its early strength and warmth, may be the means of wresting you from the very jaws of hell. The blessing of having had a good and a kind mother is one blessing unequalled, I may say, by any other on earth, and your heart will oft turn with the tenderest love to the years when you knew it, to the scenes where you felt it, long, long after her sweet and gentle voice is hushed in the cold grave. Boys and girls, youths and maidens, when about to sin, remember your mother, and break not her fond...

...Suiting up in the Eleventh Hour; What the Moment Calls for Suiting up in the Eleventh Hour; An inevitable Event The end is only just the beginning. After 15 years of living in confusion and turmoil I could see that the hardest part of leaving the past was deciding what not to take with me. You could throw away every journal, diary and photo album you ever had even leave your home but when it all comes down to it no matter what you leave or throw away you’re taking your memories with you. One of the hardest things I ever had to go through was my parents’ divorce. Growing up I was naive to a lot of things. Sitting in my living room, no more than five years old my dad would come home from work and go straight to his room. Being as little as I was I would think “maybe he didn’t see me I am short and small”. Something like that so minute could later on conclude I did not have an affectionate father. Back then I got very little attention from my father; it was like he had no time. Both my parents worked hard and I can now appreciate that today than opposed to back then. Most of the time my aunt would look after me when my older sisters where in school. When she got pregnant with my cousin Jessica I was more of a help. “Keilah could you please bring the clothes basket in here” Her tone was so mellow, I was always happy to help. The smell of laundry detergent filled the room as the clothes washed. That smell can bring back old memories. Being a mother made my aunt brighter...

...In “Saved at the Eleventh Hour,” Jane Goodall shares how the Vancouver Island Marmot was rescued from the brink of extinction. Goodall discusses the Vancouver Island Marmot’s original habitat in the sub-alpine meadows, which are hard to create and maintain on Vancouver Island. Goodall’s description shows the readers that the marmot is a rare species because of their unique habitat. Nevertheless, logging activity has pushed the Vancouver Island Marmots to decline at a faster rate by replacing their habitat with clear-cut areas and makes them easier prey for the bigger predators. With the discussion of Andrew Bryant, a marmot lover, we learn that logging activities have become reduces as the logging company makes it decision to support the conservation of Vancouver Island...

...Name Professor Course Date The Beast Below” episode 2 by Moffat The Beast below is perceived as the second episode of the series concerning a British science narrative called “Doctor who.” It is an incident complete with choices as well as the political implications (“Odoni”). Consequently, this paper will consider Moffat’s film, “The Beast Below” where the author uses the science fiction to explore the theme of technology and child development. The impact of science fiction with a child is used in the series through the Doctor, whose show was principally intended for the kids as well as for educational purposes. But over the period the science fiction as well as revulsion basics proposed by its time voyage origins took over the objectives that were extensively acknowledged. The shows educational association to the kids closely informs the presence of science fiction through the use of the “beast” also, one of the series feeble achievements.

Overtime issue on peak day: total wet berries in one peak day: 18340bbls x 70% = 12838bbls processing rate: 600bbls/hr (bottle neck) total working hours = 12838bbls / 600bbls/hr = 21.4 hrs overtime = 21.4hrs - 12hrs = 9.4 hrs. (We found that two shifts can help with the situation, which means that the workers will work 16 hours a day (7am-3pm, and 3pm - 11pm). And in this scenario, overtime should be 21.4 hrs - 16hrs = 5.4hrs.) 6. Truck waiting We assume that trucks starts arriving at 7am, and we already knew the bottle neck will be the drying stage only for wet berries, so Inventory piled up rate = rate of wet berries needed to be processed - processing rate of bottle neck = 18340bbls x 70% / 12 hrs - 600bbls/hr = 1070bbls / hr - 600bbls / hr = 470bbls / hr (a barrel of cranberries weighs 100lbs) And we know bins #17 - #27 (total 11 bins) can hold 3200bbls, so we can get how long wet berries will be filled in the bins. 3200bbls / 470bbls/hr = 6.8 hrs, which means...

...I viewed a play from the Oliver National Theatre in London broadcasted on the 31st of January 2015. The name of this play is ‘A Small Family Business’. It began at 7:30pm at the Eileen L. Auditorium in Paraquita Bay. The play as written by Alan Ayckbourn. The designer is Tim Hatley, the lighting designer is Paul Anderson and the sound director is Gareth Fry. The main actors are Jack McCracken, played by Nigel Lindsay, Poppy McCracken, played by Debra Gillett, Samantha McCracken, played by Alice Skyes, Desmond Ayes, played by Neal Barry and Benedict Hough, and played by Matthew Cottle. The play is about Jack McCracken and his entrepreneurial greed after taking over his father-in-law’s business. Upon his takeover he is approached by a private detective named Mr. Benedict Hough, who has knowledge of some compromising information. He later then realizes that his extended family is known thieves and adulterers who plunders the business from their home. It then concludes with a small housewarming party with their trouble, Mr Hough, dead. The acting was a little more developed than I thought. It was on-point in some areas and in others not so good. At first I thought Niky Wardley, the character Anita McCracken, was over acting but u then realized that that was supposed to be the kind of character she was; boastful. At some point in time Poppy’s back was shown to the audience. I liked the character Samantha McCracken. Her part was played very well. I noticed in the end and beginning...

...Chapter 3: Process flow measures 3.3 Solutions to the Chapter Questions Discussion Question 3.1 The opposite of looking at average is looking at a specific flow unit’s flow time, and the inventory status and instantaneous flow rate at a specific point in time. Because flow times change from flow unit to flow unit, it is better to look at the average over all flow units during a period of time. Similar for inventory and throughput. [pic] Discussion Question 3.2 In practice, one often tracks inventory status periodically (each day, week, or month). Flow rate is typically also tracked periodically (even more frequently than inventory status because it directly relates to sales). It then is easy to calculate the average of those numbers to obtain average inventory and throughput during a period. In contrast, few companies track the flow time of each flow unit, which must be done to calculate the average flow time (over all flow units during a given period). [pic] Discussion Question 3.3 First, draw a process flow chart. Second, calculate all operational flows: throughput, inventory, and flow time for each activity. Third, calculate the financial flow associated with each activity. If the activity incurs a cost (or earns a revenue), the cost or revenue rate is simply the throughput times the unit cost or revenue. If the inventory incurs a holding cost, the inventory cost rate is simply the average inventory times the unit holding cost. Fourth,...
