...THE FEASIBILITY OF PRODUCING SHOE POLISHER OUT OF BANANA PEELINGS ABSTRACT -Shoe polish (or boot polish), usually a waxy paste or a cream, is a consumer product used to shine, waterproof, and restore the appearance of leather shoes or boots, thereby extending the footwear's life. In some regions—including New Zealand—"Nugget" is used as a common term for solid waxy shoe polish, as opposed to liquid shoe polishes. Various substances have been used as shoe polish for hundreds of years, starting with natural substances such as wax and tallow. Modern polish formulate were introduced early in the 20th century and some products from that era are still in use today. Today, shoe polish is usually made from a mix of natural and synthetic materials, including naphtha, turpentine, dyes, and gum arabic, using straightforward chemical engineering processes. Shoe polish can be toxic, and, if misused, can stain skin. Banana is the common name for a fruit and also the herbaceous plants of the genus Musa which produce the commonly eaten fruit. They are cultivated primarily for their fruit, and to a lesser extent for the production of fibre and as ornamental plants. INTRODUCTION -we all know that our country today are suffering crisis.That was the reason why I want to launch this study,cause I want to help our community to be useful.The popularity of shoe polish paralleled a general rise in leather and synthetic shoe production, beginning in the 19th century and continuing into the...

...Board for mandated discipline. Lastly, it would require that health care practitioners check a prescription drug history database before prescribing certain medications. The major supporters of prop 46 are trial lawyers, if passed they would be able to receive a higher award amount for their client and in turn receive and higher payout from their client. The major opponents of Prop 46 are healthcare workers and their malpractice insurance companies. If passed the health care workers may see their malpractice insurance cost rise and the insurance companies would have to pay out a significant amount more than what they are currently capped at. If malpractice insurance rises, health care provider’s prices for services will also rise. Prop 46 has good ideas but due to the possible increase in taxes and health care cost, voters will not approve prop 46 this election year. Supporters of prop 46 believe that it will save lives. The Legislature set the cap at $250,000 for pain and suffering malpractice claims in 1975 and never adjusted it for inflation. With the cap rising to over $1 million if passed, supporters believe doctors will have no choice but to be less negligent because they do not want a high price malpractice lawsuit against them or their employer. Supporters also believe prop 46 will support the fight against prescription drug abuse. It would make it mandatory for doctors to check a prescription drug history database before issuing...

...propositions which appeal me most as follows: 1) Proposition 30: a. What is Prop 30? i. Sponsors / Proponents: The prop 30 is sponsored by Gov. Jerry Brown; California Federation of Teachers; and California Teachers Association ii. Effect on taxes: 1. Prop 30 would increase rates on taxable incomes above US$500,000; 2. Prop 30 would increase sales tax rate by a quarter-cent. iii. Impact on state budget and implications for school funding: 1. Raise on taxes would result in gain of revenues. These revenues would be deposited into a newly created Education Protection Account within the State’s General Fund 2. Revenues would also increase funding for K – 12 schools and community colleges b. My stance on this proposition: as a college student, I would be absolutely voting YES because of the following reasons: i. Stop another $6 billion in cuts to our schools this year. ii. Prevent steep tuition hikes for college students and their families. iii. Invest in our schools and colleges so we can prepare the next generation for the jobs of the future. In conclusion, if this prop does not pass, our classes will become enormous, our teachers will be removed and stripped of their livelihoods, and our education will suffer immensely. 2) Proposition 34: a. What is Prop 34? This initiative shall be known and may be cited as “The Savings, Accountability, and Full Enforcement for California Act” or “The SAFE California Act”. Prop 34 will replace California’s death penalty with a sentence of life in...

...While many people are celebrating the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling in the Prop 8 case, I'll take this opportunity to use my platform for the usual buzzkill for a while, since a stay of this decision is in place until at least the end of this month, meaning justice delayed is justice denied. No surprise should exist that despite the well-written and narrowly approached opinion by the majority in today's Prop 8 decision by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, Circuit Judge N. Randy Smith wrote a weak and ridiculous dissent that provides some preview of what may happen should this case reach the United States Supreme Court. Smith is an appointee of George W. Bush and a 1977 graduate of Brigham Young University's (BYU's) J. Reuben Clark Law School. And Smith seemed to be following the lead of a current BYU law professor, Lynn Wardle, who not only teaches at Smith's alma mater but whose name also appears in the "Counsel Listing" on the Prop 8 case in his capacity with the anti-gay Marriage Law Project at BYU's law school. Professor Wardle is notorious for anti-gay rhetoric that includes comparing gay people with rapists, child molesters, and drunk drivers. Meanwhile, earlier this week, the CEO of the largest affiliated controlling shareholder of my law school made a video supporting equal marriage rights. Following Professor Wardle's lead at his alma mater, Judge Smith gratuitously quoted Antonin Scalia's dissent in Lawrence v. Texas (in other words, Scalia's losing...

...This assignment will center around introducing a new product in an existing line of business and focus on how to develop the good to increase the revenue. I would be also touching upon the concepts of the elasticity of demand, market structure as well as profit maximization techniques which would be useful to further this good and also the barriers to entry. Pricing strategies and product differentiation will be the other important topics which will be discussed as well. I am choosing the shampoo company Pantene, founded in 1947, who was inspired by the ingredient panthenol, Pantene and was originally owned by Swiss drug company Hoffman-LaRoche.It made its debut as a premium hair care line across Europe, replete with glass bottles and prestige scents and then crossed over to the US. Pantene has just come up with the latest Custom Hair solutions which I will be focusing on. Elasticity of Demand Simply put, the demand for Pantene shampoo is highly elastic for the main reason that today there are so many substitutes available and so many other companies launching their shampoo products on a daily basis. Market Structure The market structure for the shampoo market is that of Monopolistic Competition. This is when a large number of sellers produce a product or service that is perceived by consumers as being different from that of a competitor but is actually quite similar. This perception of difference is the result of product differentiation, which is the...

...Prop 47 has allowed offenders to continue breaking the law with little consequences. All it is doing is giving criminals a second, third, fourth and so on, chance at committing more crimes and not getting the appropriate charge and sentencing for the crimes they commit. This proposition was paid for by criminal defense attorneys and the Governor to save money and without regard to the security of citizens. It is an example of poor policymaking. There are a lot of problems with 47. Some were seen before it past and some were not. Despite that it was still promoted and even with the deficiencies policymakers are not fixing it. With some politicians their personnel agenda comes first. Those already who already have been convicted of a...

...Heather Carpenter EDUC 4025/5025 – Dr. Jennifer Lucko One of the questions that educators and policy makers have been trying to agree upon for decades is “What is the best way to teach English Language Learners (ELLs)?” This is particularly true today as the numbers of students with limited English proficiency (LEP) are increasing; about 37.4 percent of the state’s public school enrollment. ELLs face a great challenge: They must learn academic curriculum and a new language simultaneously. Some argue that it is too much to expect ELLS to learn academic content and a second language, when they have not gained literacy in their first language. Others contend ELLs students fall too far behind academically in transitional bilingual programs, and they need to learn English quickly enough and fluently enough in order to participate in academic courses in mathematics, reading/language arts, social studies, and science). In the late 1990s, bilingual education came under attack for failing to do an adequate job of developing English proficiency in ELLs in an effective and timely manner. In 1998, California voters passed Proposition 227, making it so that English language learners were to be taught “overwhelmingly in English” and would spend at least one year in Sheltered English Immersion (SEI) learning both English language development (ELD) and content instruction utilizing “specially designed academic instruction in English” (SDAIE). The goal was for Limited English...

...MGMT 591: Leadership and Organizational Behavior Project Proposal Overview of Organization The organization that will be the topic of discussion in my final project paper is DATLEX NIGERIA LIMITED. DATLEX is a publicly traded, global security company whose headquarters is in Lagos, Nigeria. We primarily sell security doors and cheque security products to banks and other financial institutions. In 2009, the Central Bank of Nigeria revoked the licenses of many microfinance banks and made it mandatory for commercial banks to have a minimum shareholder fund of 25million Naira. This reform affected many banks, some closed down operations while many had to merge in order to meet up. DATLEX went through a significant financial meltdown, as many of these banks are the company’s major clients. During this down turn, many workers were laid off and it affected the culture of DATLEX. It affected the income of the company and thus affected all the staff as a whole. DATLEX went from having a benefits package to having a NO benefits package. They used to have all types of employee incentives and appreciation activities. Employees usually get an official car after three years of service to the company. Now the employees are lucky if they get a chicken in the fall and a bag of rice at the Christmas holidays. Rewards for employees doing well are not there anymore. With the downturn, DATLEX lost a lot of their highly skilled, highly valuable employees. DATLEX always strived to high...

...‘The US government’s response to the global financial crisis was to prop up some of the key financial institutions stating that they were “too big to fail” because such failures would have extremely serious consequences for the economy and society at large. Research newspaper articles and present a summary of what measures the US government took to protect these financial institutions. Provide examples. Explain and critically analyse both the shareholder and stakeholder models of corporate social responsibility. Can the US government’s actions be justified from either (or both) of these models? Consider both short and long-term consequences of this government intervention. Conclude whether the action taken by the US government is best for society?’ The Global Financial Crisis of the last few years has caused widespread problems for the US government, who were forced to spend billions of (taxpayer) dollars bailing out many of the world’s largest top banks. While a controversial decision, the US government acted on the belief that these institutions were ‘too big to fail’ and their collapse would have far reaching consequences that could have lead to a much dire situation. Throughout this essay, the causes and effects that lead to the GFC and the need for a bank bailout, along with what exactly it entailed will be presented. Then, the US governments’ response in bailing out the banks will be analysed using both a Stakeholder and Shareholder model of Corporate Social...
