...Olivia S. Legette Mr. Mortensen Carpentry 1 13 May 2014 Construction research paper: Carpentry The carpentry trade has been around since before 8000 B.C. This trade has more than developed since that time. From using chisels, and iron, to now using heavy equipment to build house, offices, any kind of structure of buildings. Carpenters are in high demand, without these skilled workers, the buildings wouldn’t be built. In this paper I will discuss the History, Compensation, Current demand, and the Qualifications for this trade. History Carpentry career is one of the oldest professions. Carpentry dates back to the early days of man using crude tools. Ancient Greeks showed the skills in carpentry through the temples that they have built to show reverence for their gods and goddesses. While in Asia, ancient Japanese also showed their skill in carpentry through the buildings they have constructed. These buildings dates back to 7th century and some of these buildings are still standing up to this day. We can trace the history of carpentry back to 8000 B.C. During this time, early people are using stone axes to construct their shelters. Several studies and researches showed that early Stone Age Europeans were building rectangular timber houses more than 100 feet long. Egyptians were already using copper woodworking tools as early as 4000 B.C. These copper made tools evolved into bronze tools used in 2000 B.C. Egyptians were very proficient in drilling, dovetailing, mitering...

...though there is no longer any hope for them, who feel abandoned, and who feel their life is over. I would be able to design and build a world around that can show them hope, show them that they aren't alone in life, that somebody does care about them, and that their life isn't over but has only merely begun. With this degree, I would be able to cultivate hope within a society from which hope didn’t originally exist. Today, I work on improving myself in every possible way, not for me, but for those around me. In order to achieve success, I have begun developing the skills necessary to accomplish my goals, such as carpentry. I knew that if I could learn a trade, I would be able to impact more people in many different ways. I would not only be able to reach out to people in need, but also to express my compassion for creation and quality. Through volunteer carpentry work I was doing at the time, other opportunities came to be. One of which was being chosen to be the director of the ambassador program at my high school where I now lead hundreds of students down their chosen career paths, helping them to achieve their lifetime goals and leading them to their futures. I have only merely started and I have no intentions on stopping. With your support I know that this dream can become a larger reality than it already is. Thank...

...Objectively, education can be defined as the following: the imparting and acquiring of knowledge through teaching and learning, especially at a school or similar institution; the knowledge or abilities gained through being educated; training and instruction in a particular subject. If education is training and instruction in a particular subject that would mean being educated would be having training and instruction in a particular subject. An example of this could be the job of a carpenter. A carpenter may go to a trade school. At this trade school he will learn Geometry, English, and will also receive hands on training in the basics of carpentry. By taking these classes he has become educated in each one of these. Because he was educated in English 101 he learned how to speak and write properly, but that English class did not educate him in carpentry did it? In order to be considered educated they simply needed to be taught in one subject. What if a boy was born into a carpenter family? When he was little he watched his dad and his grandpa work masterfully at their trade. As he came into his adolescent years his father began training him in the family trade. He was made to work hard...

...Fall2012-ECO2023-Princ Economics II-372686 November 3, 2012 Plumbing In my current position, I have the chance to dabble in many of your typical industrial trades such as electrical work, carpentry, welding and plumbing. As much as I enjoy this type of work, my job requirements create limitations to my knowledge and experience. I work in a maintenance capacity; therefore it is helpful to know a little bit about a lot, as opposed to being experienced in exclusively one trade. All of the aforementioned trades are suffering a shortage of qualified employees, so the opportunity exists to get into any of them and succeed, career wise as well as monetarily. It just amounts to how hard one is willing to work on what are generally considered unglamorous trades. For the purpose of this assignment I am going to focus on opportunities in the plumbing trade. Plumbers are tradesmen that are generally qualified for a wide range of responsibilities, and also need some experience in other trades such as carpentry and welding. Plumbers can handle jobs as simple as one man unplugging a toilet all the way to an entire company dedicating its workforce to constructing a skyscraper. They can handle everything from plastic pipe and glue to cast iron pipes and a welding rig. If they are working on a house, they would need some carpentry skills for plumbing installation. Plumbers have an advantage over some of the other construction related trades. With the economic collapse, new building construction bottomed...

...Troy Paine PM592, Professor: Chrystal Foster 6/07/2012 Course Project 2 Indoor Theme Park Project Executive Summary As we continue our project we need to look at where we are in order to determine where we are going. Currently our total project costs are $4,644,920.00 which is above our original baseline cost of $4,449,920.00 due to unforeseen increases in material costs. This $195,000 dollar increase in fixed costs has not placed a significant setback in our projects bottom line. We are currently half way through our project with 40% of our goals completed. Even though we are currently behind schedule by ($565,266.07) we will be able to make up the time and still finish our project by the date of 12/19/2008. We have our new estimate at completion of $5,039,790.43 and with the proper adjustments to our schedule we will be able to pull our completion date back into line. We should be able to keep the costs in line if not improve upon them by keeping a tighter day to day track of our progress and adding additional resources to tasks and shorten their duration. Overall this project is still within a margin of acceptance and will be operational and complete for its grand opening.

...MGMT 597 Business Law Week 1 Ivana Presley 9.4 Loren Vranich, a doctor practicing under the corporate name Family Health Care. P.C., entered into a written employment contract to hire Dennis Winkel. The contract provided for an annual salary, insurance benefits and other employment benefits. Another doctor, Dr. Quan, also practiced with Dr. Vranich. About nine months later, when Dr. Quan left the practice, Vranich and Winkel entered into an oral modification of their written contract whereby Winkel was to receive a higher salary and a profit sharing bonus. During the next year, Winkel received the increased salary. However, a disagreement arose, and Winkel sued to recover the profit-sharing bonus. Dr. Vranich argued that the contract would not be enforced because it was not in writing. In this case Loren Vranich, the offerror and Dennis Winkel, the offerre entered into a valid contract when they first entered into a written employment contract. In the written contract they both had an agreement since both parties accepted the terms. There was a consideration, the promise by Dennis Winkel to perform work in exchange for an annual salary, insurance benefits, and other employment benefits. The parties to the contract had a contractual capacity; in another words they both knew what they were agreeing to. Last but not least, the contract was lawful since this was about an employment. The contract included all four elements of an enforceable contract and was issued...

...this for both businesses is that there is one less company to compete with in their particular field. The down side may be that the owners of each will not need to share all of their trade secrets and will need to answer to someone that previously was a competitor. This could lead to tension if there were to be any bad blood in the past that was caused from the competitive market. Unlike a horizontal merger, a vertical merger takes place when two or more companies that produce different goods or services for one specific product come together. An example of this type of merger is a lumber yard that typically supplies lumber to a finish carpentry company merge. The lumberyard sees that they can have a positive influence on this end user market by supplying lumber at a significant discount thus reducing the cost of the finish carpentry company. Both companies will benefit from this merger...
