...The Alleged Trial of the Sweet Family In 1925-26, Dr. Ossian Sweet and ten other occupants from the Sweet home was accused of 1st degree murder and assault. With this in mind, a mob of 500-800 white people were gathered in their front yard throwing stones and rocks at their new purchased home in Detroit consequently because they were the only negroes in the neighborhood. The trial of the Sweet's was a ridiculous and outraged case that was pointless in the end. First of all, back then when barely any blacks came to Detroit both white and blacks had the Northern point-of-view that is to say they didn't bother one another, and both went their own way. Also, prejudice for several years had been gathering had at last burst with violence over Detroit because of the Klan. Whenever a negro would move by a white area your property would decrease in value. Neighborhood Improvement Association was to support neighborhood improvement but their real reason for being was to keep their victimes from Negroes and to keep out Negroes in addition to Waterworks Park Improvement. In fact, the neighborhood would get together a mob and try to force the Negroes out of their neighborood For one thing, when Gladys picked out the house she didn't care if it was in a white or black neighborhood, her intentions was to own a home so she can support and raise her family. In other words not to start a racial violence in the neighborhood. For...

...Goldilocks traces its roots to the collaboration and complementary talents of the women, whose collective love for good food fueled what has been transformed into the global enterprise today. In 1966, two sisters Milagros and Clarita, and their sister-in-law, Doris, decided to open a small bakeshop along to the Pasong Tamo Street, Makati. The sisters have already been dabbling in the business for some time ---Milagros, by supplying chiffon slices to a number of Manila’s canteens, and Clarita, by baking and decorating cakes during special occasions in Bicol --- when they decided to take their hobby one step further. A third sister, Maria Flor, suggested that they name the enterprise “Goldilocks“, after the character in a fairy tale, aiming to make it easier for children and their mothers to remember its name; and because it suggested luck and prosperity. Over the years, Goldilocks did prosper, but not due to mere luck. The sisters’ dedication, hard work and business sensibilities led to a second branch just two years after the pioneering outlet began operating. From ten employees and two display stands, Goldilocks has become a global brand, expanding to over a total of 250 stores in the Philippines and overseas; and hiring thousands of local employees. The opening day total sales of P574 back in 1966 has multiplied thousand of times over, reaching a system-wide sales of P5.9 billion by the end of 2007. THE MARKET For the most Filipinos, the Goldilocks fairytale has two...

SWEET HOME CHAPTER OF COMMUNITIES FOR A GREAT OREGON. (DEFENDANTS) Facts: Sweet Home chapter is a group of landowner, loggers and families. They are dependent in Forest goods in the Pacific Northwest. Two U.S. agencies are trying to halt logging due to the endangerment of two species, the spotted owl and the red cockaded woodpecker. Issues: The issue in this case is whether the interpretation of the word harm under the Endangered Species Act includes habitat modification or destruction when it may kill or injure wildlife. The issue in a general sense was whether the statute applies to commercial businesses with the unintended attention directed towards endangered species. If commercial business were to go ahead with their project then it will have an indirect effect on destroying endangered species habitats. Lower court decisions: The Trial Court found for petitioner, defendants appealed. The Appellate Court found for defendants, petitioner appealed Decision: The Supreme Court held that the definition of harm does include significant habitat modification where it actually kills or injures wildlife.

...CASE STUDY Bill punched a few huttons on his computer keyboard and called up a series of graphs. The first documented the growing percentage of LaTreat sales connected with promotional offers. A second graph disaggregated LaTreat's promotion-related sales by four buyer categories Bill had created from BehaviorScan data. "Loyalists" were longtime customers who increased their purchases in response to a deal. "Trial users" bought LaTreat for the first time hecause of the promotion and who seemed to be turning into ioyal customers. "Accelerators" were longtime customers who used coupons or rebates to stock up on product they would have bought anyway. "Switch-on-deal" customers were nonusers who bought LaTreat when there were promotions but demonstrated little long-term loyalty. Bill's graph documented that a majority of LaTreat's coupon redeemers fell into the last two categories, with "loyalists" accounting for a shrinking percentage of sales. Finally, Bill called up his ultimate evidence-a graph that adjusted LaTreat sales to eliminate the effect of promotions. ¡See the illustration.) "I'm amazed you spent your weekend doing this," Barbara said, "but I'm glad you did. It'll help us think through future marketing strategies for LaTreat. But it doesn't change what the committee decided. It's time to move on." "I'm not so sure," Bill replied. "I hope you don't mind, hut I think I should show these data to Bob.

...been around for many years and will probably be around for many more. A beer is any variety of alcoholic beverages produced by the fermentation of starchy material derived from grains or other plant sources. The production of beer and some other alcoholic beverages is often called brewing. Most every culture has there own tradition and the own take on beer, thus producing many different styles and variations. Simply put, a beer style is a label given to a beer that describes its overall character and often times its origin. It's a name badge that has been achieved over many centuries of brewing, trial and error, marketing, and consumer acceptance. There are many different types of beer, each of which is said to belong to a particular style. A beer's style is a label that describes the overall flavour and often the origin of a beer, according to a system that has evolved by trial and error over many centuries. According to the type of yeast that is used in the beer's fermentation process, most beer styles fall into one of two large families: ale or lager. Beers that blend the characteristics of ales and lagers are referred to as hybrids. An ale is any beer that is brewed using only top-fermenting yeasts, and typically at higher temperatures than lager yeast. Because ale yeasts cannot fully ferment some sugars, they produce esters in addition to alcohol, and the result is a more flavourful beer with a slightly "flowery" or "fruity" aroma resembling but not limited to apple...

...Salem Witch Trials took place in Salem, Massachusetts during the 1690s. Mass hysteria broke out as young girls accused people of dealing in witchcraft. The accused were punished and killed for these false accusations. Eventually, the town shamefully realized what they had done. The playwright, Arthur Miller, wrote The Crucible as a display of a corrupt Puritan society as well as an allegory of modern American history.

...Fast Eddie’s former officers, Sweet Lou. The criminal and civil investigations began in late 2009. In the prior fiscal year, the company’s auditors, CPAs-R-Us, obtained management’s representation and a letter from Fast Eddie’s independent legal counsel that indicated that the ultimate outcome of the investigation could not be determined and that any potential payment for the alleged breaches would not have a material effect on the financial statements. Accordingly, no accrual was recorded in the financial statements, and CPAsR-Us issued a standard unqualified opinion on Fast Eddie’s 2010 financial statements. Fast Eddie’s fiscal year-end is March 31. The government commenced its investigation into the allegations in late 2009 by obtaining a subpoena for all of Fast Eddie’s corporate records (both hard copy documents and computer files) related to government sales during the period in question. In 2010, the government provided Sweet Lou with a report detailing the allegations of defective pricing. At that time, Sweet Lou alerted the other officers at Fast Eddie of the manner in which he had prepared the documents in question. Fast Eddie immediately began an internal investigation to ascertain whether proper procedures had been followed when completing the governmental sales forms. Fast Eddie also retained an expert legal counsel in the field of procurement law in an attempt to determine whether the company had any legal exposure as a result of Sweet Lou’s actions. Fast Eddie determined...

...Introduction For this paper I will provide definitions for adaptation. It will show how adaptation is evident in the experiments. It will show some of the senses that are present in the human body. Sensory Adaptation “Adaptation is the continued presentation of the same stimulus that causes the receptors to become less sensitive to that particular stimulus; therefore a stronger stimulus is required to activate the receptors”(Davis & Palladino, 2010). With adaptation individuals become acustom to the environment around them. So sensory adaptataion is the decrease appearance of sensitivity to stimulation that results from repeated appearance of the stimulation. The human has five senses: sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch. There will be examples and results from experiments. Examples is the best way to provide information about these senses. The first is the most common adjustment to temperture. You have seen these people that jump in to ice cold water in the winter. These people are members of the polar bear club. When they first jump into the water it is very cold, but after they have been in it for some time their body adjust to the temperture of the water and it is not as cold to them. Another is the sense of smell. You prepare the vegetables and meat for a stew and place them in a slow cooker. During the time you are at work all of these ingredients have been cooking. When you arrive home from work you are greeted by the aroma of the stew. You...
