...Fern Hill Summary "Fern Hill" is six stanzas of praising and then lamenting days the speaker spent at Fern Hill as a youth. And this speaker is stoked about running through the countryside. Throughout the poem, he talks about how happy he was as a youngster and how oblivious he was that youth was passing. But at the end of the poem, the tone shifts dramatically from joy to lamentation. It's almost like singing, "If you're happy and you know it, think again!" What was a carefree bliss for the speaker turns out to be a fleeting joy that he ever can't recapture. What a bummer. Stanza 1 Summary Get out the microscope, because we’re going through this poem line-by-line. Lines 1-2 Now I was young and easy under the apple boughs About the lilting house and happy as the grass was green * Welcome to Fern Hill, where the speaker was once young and carefree. Plus, apple trees. Sounds like a great place to Shmoop. * He also hung out in his "lilting house." What in the world is a lilting house, you ask? Well, lilting is an old school style of Gaelic singing, but it can refer to anything with a cheerful, happy tone. * So was the house singing? Well, maybe not literally, but with this personification, the speaker is setting the mood for the rest of the poem. Things are good. * He's young, happy, and the pastoral scenery is like a mirror of the speaker's joy. Lines 3-5 The night above the dingle starry, Time let me hail and climb Golden in the heydays of his eyes...

...Easy Internet Café Case Study Analysis Table of Content Page 3 – Executive Summary Page 4 – Issue(s) Identification Page 5 – Environmental and Root Cause Analysis Page 7 – Alternatives Page 9 – Recommendations and Implementation Page 10 – Monitor and Control Executive Summary With our decision to radically revamp our operations to appoint franchisees for the new stores and existing ones, it is critical that we have an operating system that reflects this major change. With the new strategy the franchisees would be required to bear the costs of the property and hardware. It is hoped that these actions would reduce elc’s drain on capital. We are focusing all our time on the logistics for the stores which is the main reason for escalation of high costs and continuing losses. We are not focusing on our core competencies of our business which is our software and service level. Four companies were reviewed for focusing on the logistics of the equipment for the stores. I would recommend going with Ingram Micro as their focus is on supply chain management. Easy Internet Café needs centralized warehousing where all equipment and furnishings are staged before forwarding onwards to the franchisees to reduce costs. With centralized warehousing it will reduce costs, especially if the location was more central to our customers for faster and easier shipping. This will also simplify Inventory management throughout the supply chain as there would be...

...There are numerous types of teaching resource textbooks that educators can use to help them conduct their lessons. These books can be found in every subject, including Language Arts; Mathematics; Science; and Social Studies. Despite the many different resources being available, it might not always be easy to pick which teaching textbook resource would be the best to use in today’s classroom. For instance, two different books, such as Houghton Mifflin Reading (2003) and Journeys (2011) are similar in some ways and different in other ways making it hard to decide which should be used in today’s classrooms. Houghton Mifflin Reading (2003) and Journeys (2011) for second grade Language Arts are similar when looking at their table of contents and glossary. For instance, both have a table of contents at the beginning of the book as well as a glossary in the back of the book. They do, however, differ in when looking at their index. Houghton Mifflin Reading textbook provides an index at the back of its book, whereas Journeys does not even have an index, but instead, it is sectioned off using tabs to indicate where things are located throughout its book. The layout of these two books are consistent and the chapters are arranged...
