...the Missouri River. (Buckley, “Lewis and Clark Expedition”) President Jefferson was interested in the land that made up Louisiana. He wanted to know more about this land that few Americans had seen, as well as, just how far that land extended. This curiosity sparked this request for money in order to send Lt Meriwether Lewis on an exploratory expedition to gather scientific information about the land, and discover a water route across the country leading to the Pacific. (Boyer, pg. 229) The Louisiana Purchase came later that year in May of 1803, which added even more significance to the exploration of this land. Lt Lewis selected William Clark to be his co-commander....

...Graphic organizers are visual tools that can help students understand lessons that they otherwise might not be able to grasp. The ideas of a lesson are written down on paper in a way that shows a clear map or relationship between what the lesson is on. Graphic organizers can be used for many different lessons including math, literature and history. One effect way of using a graphic organizer is to explain the time line of the Lewis and Clark expedition. For this I would use a series of events chain. To begin with this lesson, we would first read about the journey that Lewis and Clark took across the country. After reading is complete I would hand out sheets that had a series of events chain organizer already drawn on the paper. I would also have my own similar graphic organizer up on the board. I would then explain to my students how a series of events chain worked. I would explain how in the first box, the beginning of an event would be written down. To give them a clear understanding of this, I would talk about how a series of events chain would look based on their life so far. I would tell them in the first box, their birth date would be written down. I would also explain that other information could be used in that box as well, like where they were born or how much they weighed. I would then explain how the second box could contain the date that they first slept through the night. The third box could have the date of when they said their first word and what that word was...

...interconnected rivers that would assist in transporting goods across the continent to the Pacific Ocean and ultimately to ports overseas, greatly expanding the nation's economic potential. In January 1803, Jefferson asked Congress for $2,500 to fund an expedition up the Missouri River and asked Meriwether Lewis, a young army captain and friend of the President, to lead the expedition. In a written letter to Lewis, Jefferson described the primary pursuit of the presented expedition thus: “To explore the Missouri river,. such principal stream of it, as, by its...

...•Thomas Jefferson wrote this secret message to Congress about the Lewis & Clark expedition in 1803; what does it tell us about Jefferson(s) views of westward expansion and Native Americans? In Jefferson(s) secret message to Congress his views of westward expansion tells us that he wanted to expand westward. However, he wanted to do it in a peaceful way and not force the Indians from their land, but show the Indians ways to live better than what they are used to. This also tells us that his views were to help the Indians with farming, agriculture and other domestic matters, so they would not wander the forest for hunting. At the same time this would limit the Indians to a smaller territory and allow for the colonies to expand further west. As for the Native Americans Jefferson(s) views tell us that they can be a great trading partner with the colonies, because the Indians...

...Name: Course: Instructor: Date: Lewis and Clark Expedition in Montana William Clark in December 1803 built the River Dubois Camp on the along river Wood. The camp was set at Rivers Missouri’s and Mississippi’s confluence in Missouri just north of St. Louis. In addition, the camp was at just across River Dubois in Illinois. Clark took up the training of the severally different volunteer men who put themselves forward to undertake the expedition into the Pacific. Therefore, William Clark was keen to make an efficient and useful team from the goons, savages laypeople who had volunteered (Kern, 672). This team was identified as the Corps of Discovery, a sentry sent by President Thomas Jefferson to explore the source of the river and possible navigation into the Pacific. This paper trails Clark and Lewis’ expedition in Montana exploring the various Indian wars and the twist and confusing meander of the river. The Corps of Discovery constituted of strangers to each other aged differently but with an average age of 27. Nonetheless, the team was eager to undertake the presidential decree with zeal, zest and passion. John Shields aged 35 was the oldest of the Corps of Discovery whereas 17 year old George Shannon was the youngest (Lewis and William, 38). Therefore, Clark had to balance his command as he directed the team into building cabins and forts from logs.

There is doubt according to historians as to whether or not Ross actually materialized the primary US flag, but according to the testimony of her children, grandchildren, and friends- it had been accepted that she did materialize the first flag. Aside from that, nobody questions that Betsy was acquaintances with General Washington. Ross’s child once said that both Betsy and the Washington family attended church in her hometown of Philadelphia. It was rumored that Washington requested her to embroider the ruffles for his shirts as well as other tasks associated with sewing. It is said that as a result of this relationship they developed, that that Ross was picked to make the first American...

...building, authorities immediately closed it off, and Le’s body was found five days later, hidden inside a wall in a basement laboratory. She had been strangled. It was September 13 – the day on which Le, 24, was to be married. On September 17, police arrested Raymond Clark III, also 24, a lab technician who’d been working in the building on the day that Le disappeared. As of this writing, neither Clark nor the police have indicated any motive, but New Haven police chief James Lewis is on record as saying, “This is not about urban crime, university crime, [or] domestic crime, but an issue of workplace violence, which is becoming a growing concern around the country.” How much concern? In 2007, the last year for which there is reliable data, there were more than 5,600 work-related deaths in the United States. Of these, 864, or 15 percent, were due to assaults or other violent acts; homicides accounted for 628 deaths, or 11 percent of the total, with murder passing “Contact with objects and equipment” to take over the number-two spot in cause of workplace deaths (“Transportation incidents” remains number one). According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), there were 7,000 workplace homicides nationwide between 1997 and 2007, but it’s important to remember that most of these resulted from robbery or some other form of violent activity performed by third parties (such as customers or strangers) rather than by coworkers, who were responsible...

...Associate Level Material Appendix N Topic Sentences and Supporting Paragraphs Topic Sentences When you write, you form paragraphs. A paragraph is a group of sentences that relate in topic and thought. A paragraph generally consists of three to five sentences and usually begins with a topic sentence. A topic sentence is a general statement that announces what the paragraph is about. By starting a paragraph with a topic sentence, your audience may immediately identify your topic. This construction also helps you, the writer, stay focused on your subject. Consider the following example of an essay introduction: The first sentence is the topic sentence: It tells the readers they will learn about past narratives. The sentences that follow the topic sentence relate to the topic sentence because they provide examples of past narratives. Finally, the last sentence is the thesis of the essay, which expresses the author’s position on the topic and previews what the entire paper is about. You learn more about writing effective introductions later in this course. Supporting Paragraphs Every paragraph after your introduction must be a supporting paragraph. A supporting paragraph supports or proves your thesis. All supporting paragraphs must include a topic sentence. You may then develop the supporting paragraphs within your paper by using one or more of the following methods: • Examples and illustrations • Data, facts, or historical...

...The term “Glass Ceiling” became popular when a Wall Street Journal article used it in 1986. It refers to the barrier that prevents women from stepping into the top management level in any organizations. The “Glass Ceiling” is invisible and impenetrable. Very often a woman could see her ultimate career goal was just ahead of her, but she just could not get to the top of the hierarchy. Before the term was introduced, researchers had been exploring varies theories that could explain why it was so hard for women to reach the highest level in business that was dominated by white males. One explanation could be that women might have chosen less stressful jobs in order to take care of their family members. Another explanation was that women might lack the network of crucial professional contacts that could help them advance in their careers. After the term was introduced, the society became more and more aware of the unequal career opportunities offered to white men versus all other groups of people. The situation has been changing and improving, little by little. Many researches done in the 80s and 90s of the last century suggested that women were significantly underrepresented in upper management level, and their salaries and wages were much lower than the male counterpart. According to Cai & Kleiner (1999), in a 1989 estimation by the U.S. Department of Labor, only 1 to 2 percent of senior executive management positions include women. The report issued by the Federal Glass Ceiling...

...SERVICE RECOVERY IN HEALTHCARE Customers’ satisfaction with a company can be profoundly impacted due to service failures and subsequent efforts of recovery. This is especially so in the healthcare industry where service recovery covers a vast range of complex issues and highly emotional patients (Berry and Bendapudi, 2007) whose level of tolerance is usually lower after a service failure (Matilla, 2004). Therefore, the need for service recovery strategies is very important. The purpose of this essay is to discuss the concept of service recovery, particularly in healthcare. This purpose will be achieved through utilising, exploring and analysing a wide range of literature written on the topics of service recovery and service recovery in healthcare. It will look at service recovery – its definitions and its dimensions, and it will discuss it as it is applied to healthcare. Finally, it will look at generational differences and their possible effects on service recovery. Failure often takes place when a customer’s experience and their expectations of a service are different. Maxham (2001) defined service failure as ‘any service related mishaps or problems – real and/or perceived – that occur during a customer’s experience with the firm’. It is believed that the single most important factor that leads to service failure lies within the nature of service itself, which creates endless possibilities for errors and consequently the need for service recovery.
