...The laundry business is an up and coming business that has seen growth over the past years due to many factors such as long workdays or school days. Creating a laundry pick up and delivery service is one way to help make those days seem shorter and provides its customers with the highest level of convenience possible. Our company values its customers as well as their clothing in order to provide the best worry-free service. STRATEGY SUMMARY STATEMENT The first thing every business should think of is its potential customers, who they’re going to be, and how to attract customers. For my business located in Madison, New Jersey I have chosen to select college students as well as dual income families that may not have time to do house hold chores such as laundry. College students being the bulk of my potential customers, I plan on providing the same service they may have received at home either mom, dad or someone besides themselves doing the laundry. This type of “mom away from home” strategy would attract students that never have done laundry before. Parents and guardians may also buy into the idea because it is a cheap affordable way for their children’s clothing to be washed and cleaned correctly without the chance of damage or the expense to buy new clothing. For a laundry delivery business you want a quick, clean and affordable service for your consumers. Madison is a great place for this service because of...

...With the rapid growth of technology, there has been a debate on how we are using technology in our life. Many people think that we are now abusing modern devices to support for our own life; while others reckon that using technology brings us just good things and make our life easier. According to what I have observed and experienced, I believe that people, nowadays, have been overly dependent on technology. To begin with, it is not hard to recognize the intergral role of technology in houses. Housewives, nowadays, are no longer “housewives” as itself used to mean. They do almost every task with the assistance of modern machines. They have clothes washed by washing machine instead of doing that by hand as before or they clean dishes just by putting them into a dishwasher. In the past, televisions seemed like the luxurious thing but each family now has at least one or even more than two TV sets in their house. It is now common to catch the image of many children or some adults spending most of their time in front of the screens containing various attractive things. What is more, workplaces are becoming more and more dependent upon technology. In almost every company, there is an advancedly computerized system which makes tasks much easier and quicker. Most of employees have their own mobile phone or computer so that they could exchange information or documents as soon as they want without leaving their desks. Besides, there are many kinds of machine such as printers, photocopiers...

...You’re cooking your chicken wrong. Forty percent of 120 participants in a new study conducted by the University of California, Davis are, anyway. Christine Bruhn, PhD, director of the Center for Consumer Research at UC Davis, says she was “really surprised” at the number, which represents the amount of participants who undercook their chicken. "I know people do that on purpose with burgers, but with chicken I always thought people were more aware of making sure it was fully cooked,” she told us. The majority of participants who undercooked their meat were a full 14 degrees below the the recommended 165 degree F threshold, and more than half of those who grilled their chicken were 18 degrees under. “The grill is really hot; it’s harder to control and that chicken usually looks pretty darn cooked on the outside,” says Bruhn of the common misstep. The problem is that this fowl fumble can lead to illness, including the dreaded salmonella infection. So what can you do to make sure your signature stir fry doesn’t make anyone sick? Below, Bruhn shares the basic rules of the game with us. Use a meat thermometer. Slicing through the meat to check for color won’t get the job done. “Consumers do it all the time, but going off appearance just doesn’t work,” says Bruhn. And just because your recipe says to cook a chicken breast for 10 minutes doesn’t mean that’ll get you to a safe temperature. “That doesn’t account for how thin or thick the meat is or how hot your stove is,” she adds...

...In the last century many people did things by hand but nowadays more and more tasks have become automated. For example, many people have washing machines, clothes driers and dishwashers, so the amount of energy needed to wash and dry clothes and wash dishes is greatly reduced. As technology progresses, more and more of these tasks will be automatic, for example, vacuum cleaning or cutting the grass. In addition to this, improvements in technology have given us 24-hour a day entertainment from digital TV to video games. This means that there are fewer tasks to do, more time to do nothing and more opportunities to sit around and be entertained without moving very much. As we can see, there are both advantages and disadvantages to this. I will deal with the advantages firstly. I think, there are at least two positive effects of this. First of all, we don't need to do repetitive and uninteresting job like washing-up and this gives us more time to do other things. What we do with this time depends upon the individual. Secondly, for people, who are less able to do these jobs, like elderly or disabled people, these machines are a great help. Future developments may be able to help them even more. I think, this is the most positive side of technology. Now I will look at the disadvantages. As I mentioned, it is up to the individual what they do with this extra time. Unfortunately, instead of doing everyday tasks people tend to watch television or play video games. Furthermore, television...

The business commerce of a coin operated self-serve laundromat would be the people in the neighborhood and surrounding areas who use coins to pay for the washing and drying of their own laundry, at a place that provides washer and dryer machines that are maintained and the cost of utilities are the responsibility of the company owner.

The business occupation of a coin operated self-serve laundromat are washers, dryers, and machines that hold a variety of products people use to wash with. There are utilities along with rental costs of the property where the equipment and products are kept for people to go and use. The business organization of a coin operated laundromat is to have a certified repairman who specializes in repairing and maintaining coin operated machines. If an owner is also a certified repairman of coin operated machinery this will help him with the costs of hiring someone.

For a span of 50 years since the laundry industry started, the rise of technology did not provide much difference in terms of water consumption. As estimated, a pound of laundry consumes approximately three gallons of water which ends up in the sewage immediately afterwards. Trying to reduce it to as much as 2 gallons per pound is considered efficient water consumption in commercial laundry though it’s not most of the time achievable due to varying types of fabrics.

My goal is to provide a clean healthy environment that meets each Childs physical need. Making sure the class room and playground are clean and safe at all times; To accomplish this goal I complete daily safety checklists that include ensuring exits and hallways are open, electrical cords are out of reach, evacuation procedures are posted, fire extinguisher is working, emergency numbers are posted by the telephone. I check all toys and equipment the children will be using for broken or missing parts often to ensure they remain safe for use and play. Separate noisy and quiet areas, to keep clear pathways and to use furniture arrangement strategies that reduce behavior and safety concerns and promote learning. I am trained in emergency evacuation procedures and plans to remove all children from the classroom and/or building in the event of a tornado or fire. To prevent and reduce injuries I involve my children in all safety practices such as creating a “safety board” that the children create about safe choices they make and post it at their level. I model with my actions and words safety practices for example when crossing the street look for cars, during monthly fire drills I remain calm and walk the children through the procedure.
