Jessica Pierce sullen to look at her shed team mate, Ashley Mound.Jessica and Ashley were fourth-year management and organizational studies students at Brescia University College, taking an introduction to entrepreneurship course. Ashley and Jessica had engendered an view for the assignment: a mortalal sentry go alarm that both shrieked and flashed lights when the psyche carrying it set off the alarm function. devoted the concern that many a(prenominal) people had over personal safety, it hitchmed like a large railway line composition. In order to invest their desire, they drug abuse uped to show that there was a securities industry for this product and that they had a expressive style to shit it to consumers.The problem was that they did not rightfully know how or where to start to get the version that they p auperizationed. They had a lot of subject area to do to be ready to indicate their go out in the next two weeks. THE ASSIGNMENT The strain pitch assignment was ch exclusivelyenging. Sharen had asked students to infract an interesting business idea and present it to a panel of potency investors. These investors implyd a undefeated incidental entrepreneur, a business consultant who execute in the area of elegant- and medium-size enterprises, an possessor of a marketing and advertising services business and a business professor.The students were asked to present an forward-looking idea, show why it would be successful in the market place, demonstrate potential markets, show the business model and sell themselves to the investors as entrepreneurs. The investors were get a lineed to view their investments as seeded player money to en up to(p) the students to further develop business plans and prototypes of their ideas. The students weren’t overtopd to do it off a financial analysis for this assignment. Purchased by germanium Cuccarini (gaia. [email&# one hundred sixty;protected] it) on border 21, 2013 knave 2 9B08M057The investors were asked to assess project ideas on the basis of the feasibility of the idea and whether they believed that the entrepreneurs would be able to deliver. They could realise the magical spell of the idea itself, the logistics and operations required to ply the business, the effectiveness of the business plan, the foresightful marches viability of the business or the size of the market. The assignment would be graded 50 per cent based on how much money the teams received from the investors and 50 per cent on the note of their notification by the professor. THE IDEA The Piercer was a miserable device that hung on a string worn around the neck.When activated, The Piercer emitted a not bad(p) sound that traveled for approximately euchre meters, as substantially as a bright flashing light. To deactivate The Piercer, the wearer had to draw two buttons simultaneously. This was to prevent an attacker from existence able to deactivate the device. The piercing preventative and the bright flashing light were intentional to scare away attackers and attract those who top executive assist the person being attacked. In the situation of imminent attack, a person would not convey to rely on their voice or bring a whistle to their mouth to signal for helper.Ashley and Jessica had re hunt clubed be and apprehension that by manufacturing in China, they could grant The Piercer for $2 and sell it for $7. 50 wholesale, with a retail price of $14. 95. The idea make sense to Ashley and Jessica. It fit with recent affectionate and demographic trends as aging foul up boomers began to need assistance with injuries and falls, and with increased familiar concerns approximately health, safety and violence. WHAT NEXT? Jessica and Ashley thought that they had a secure idea. Now they had to exp eriment it. What were the target markets for this product? How big were they?Which ones should they accept? How should they sell to them? What proportion of the target market should they expect to capture? Where should they look for info to help them make these decisions? A saucer-eyed GUIDE TO INFORMATION RESOURCES AND EVALUATION Ashley and Jessica essential do secondary re take care to be able to quantify and implement their idea. They exit need to consider 1) how to evaluate imaginativenesss, 2) how to develop effective depend strategies and 3) how to identify trademarked alternatives that support the case for this business. 1. How to Evaluate Resources maintaination is open everywhere, and for this reason, Jessica and Ashley need to be able to separate amid cheeseparing and poor pure tone education. Appropriate entropy usage for an donnish project implicates evaluating and assessing resources for reliability and credibility. Purchased by atomic number 32 Cucc arini (gaia. [email protected] it) on March 21, 2013 varlet 3 9B08M057 Goals ? ? ? ? ? Ashley and Jessica should be able to place and polariate set-apart versus proprietary sack up resources. They should be able to identify a fictional character website. They should be able to evaluate books and other print resources for look and reliability.They should consider the difference between erudite and non- academician articles and resources. They should be able to cite selective reading properly. reconcile Versus Proprietary Web Resources umteen students regard that the World replete(p) Web has the answers for everything. speckle the web bed lay down blue-chip data, students pay (through their tuition) to substantiate gateway to prime(a) proprietary entropy resources. Ashley and Jessica could examine approximately free web sites to help them. For example, associations, caller-out development and government information tramp be very stabilizing, as long a s the user knows how to determine the quality of a website.Quality Web Sites Anyone anywhere fundament make a website. Just because it is on the web, does not mean it is entire quality or reliable. When Ashley and Jessica are evaluating websites, they need to consider: Who is providing the information? ? Is it a government institution, a university or a participation? ? Does the uniform resource locator make sense (e. g. .org, . edu, . on. ca)? ? Does the owner of the website have anything to gain by providing the information? ? Does the owner of the website have good credentials? ? Has anyone updated the website tardily? Note that Wikipedia is not necessarily a reliable resource.Anyone anywhere send away qualify these pages. While it baron be a place to find almost resources or links, students should not cite Wikipedia as a reliable resource in an faculty member paper. The University of Alberta put together a good web evaluation check number: http://www. depository prog ram library. ualberta. ca/ teaching method/science/evalweb. pdf For a more all-inclusive list on evaluating web resources, see the bibliography on the topic: http://www. lib. vt. edu/help/instruct/evaluate/evalbiblio. html Purchased by Gaia Cuccarini (gaia. [email protected] it) on March 21, 2013 Page 4 9B08M057Evaluating Other Resources Ashley and Jessica need to be critical of all the resources they use, not secure websites. Ideally, they should be able to discriminate between proprietary and non-proprietary websites, scholarly and non-scholarly resources and evaluate the quality of any book used. Things for Ashley and Jessica to consider overwhelm: ? Who published the book or make the information operable? ? How old is the information? ? Has the information been updated recently? ? Is the information confederate appraiseed? Does this matter? ? Did the library buy and commend the resource? Is the author credible? scholarly Versus Non- critical Resources An schoolman l ibrary forget provide main course to both scholarly and non-scholarly resources. profound decease generally refers to published work that has been through a peer review process. Especially in the welkin of business, there are many practitioner resources. at that placefore, Jessica and Ashley need to be aware of the type of information they are gathering. For example, industry trends, say from standard and Poors NetAdvantage, is not a scholarly resource, however the information within them could be valuable.Alternatively, ProQuest ABI Inform world-wide provides door to scholarly articles. Ashley and Jessica may likewise consider the relative apprize of deduction or fact versus position. Students should not read things and trust that what they are reading is accurate. Students should think somewhat the rigor with which the stemma is made and the evidence presented. ? Is there evidence to back up a train? ? Has the evidence been collected in a reliable way? ? Is the author stating an opinion without backing up his or her ideas? Citing survive It is primary(prenominal) that Ashley and Jessica cited their work properly, to avoid accidental plagiarism.Some of the more confusing things to cite include Statistics Canada info or online information. Statistics Canada has a website that describes systematically how to cite its tables, government issues or other datasets: http://www. stat shag. ca/english/freepub/12-591-XIE/12-591-XIE2006001. htm In addition, most academic libraries impart have information closely reference point procedures, or will have copies of outlet manuals available for borrowing. Any bibliothec can be asked about citation procedures. Purchased by Gaia Cuccarini (gaia. [email protected] it) on March 21, 2013 Page 5 9B08M057 2. How to stop Search StrategiesGoals ? ? ? ? Ashley and Jessica should know the difference between inquisitioning in different search fields, such as the abstract field and title field They sho uld be able to use this technology to search the peculiar fields They should be able to use the â€Å"AND,” â€Å"OR,” or â€Å"NOT” features of a search railway locomotive to help nail down their search. They should volume what truncation and proximity search strategies are, and how that influences a search. Most search engines that power information have confusable features. If Ashley and Jessica understand the concepts in searching, they can apply them to any search engine.Take Advantage of Search Fields For example, records in an index have many different fields such as key linguistic communication, title, author, publication title, muniment title, abstract, full document, date, author, etc. It is a good deal possible to specify what part of the record to search in, which helps to be more unique(predicate) with the search. curious an entire text document may think less meaning(prenominal) records than a search of just abstracts. manipulation Bo olean Search Strategies Using â€Å"AND” and â€Å"OR” can be helpful in expanding or narrowing a search. AND narrows a search and OR expands it. Using the term â€Å"NOT” can also be helpful, but should be limited.For example, searching for beer companies will retrieve companies on diamonds (DeBeers). Excluding the term â€Å"diamond” from a search on beer companies could be helpful in narrowing one’s search. Truncation and proximity many another(prenominal) search engines allow for truncation and proximity searching. In ProQuest, an asterisk symbol will truncate. For example, if one types â€Å"leader*” into a search box, records with leader, leaders and leadership will be retrieved. This helps capture all variations of a word. Proximity searching refers to how good two linguistic communication are together in a document.Presumably, if two words are close together in a document, they are more likely to have something to do with each o ther. In ProQuest, a â€Å"w/1” or â€Å"w/2” (â€Å"w/3,” etc. ) facilitates proximity searching. For example, if Ashley or Jessica typed â€Å"organizational w/3 cultivation” in the search box, they will retrieve documents where the word â€Å"organizational” is within three words of â€Å"learning. ” Find Creative ways In There are many different ways to find information. crafty a company name or a competitor’s name is convenient. Taking utility of key words (or subject terms) also is a good way to search.Purchased by Gaia Cuccarini (gaia. [email protected] it) on March 21, 2013 Page 6 9B08M057 It is also a good idea to brainstorm for synonyms prior to beginning a search. Being d eliberate about a search dodging and deciding on what concepts to combine can really help make the search go easier. Searching is iterative as well. One is counsel to read some articles to learn the buzzword of the topic, then go back and do t he search again using the subject jargon. Most librarians will help on developing a search strategy! 3. How to Identify Proprietary Resources GoalsAshley and Jessica should be able to identify library resources and understand what type of information they can find in various types of resources. The following databases are some of the library databases that Ashley and Jessica could consider. They could also go to the library (or call or e-mail) and ask for assistance. program library staff will know what resources the library has, if there are any other resources that may be of use and how to access and use the resources. finding Background Scholarly Articles ProQuest ABI Inform world-wide is a database that indexes business and management journal articles.Most of the articles are available in full text, and both scholarly and non-scholarly articles are available. The search box in ProQuest has a drop-down menu on the right that allows users to search in specific fields. For examp le, users can search the title, abstract, author, company or publication fields. Scopus is a database that indexes articles on the kindly sciences, purport sciences, physical sciences and health sciences. For the purposes of a business or entrepreneurship project, searching only the social sciences category would be appropriate. This resource indexed scholarly articles.Google Scholar is a free resource that indexes scholarly information from the World commodious Web. There is an advanced search engine feature to help specify a search. Many academic institutions integrate access to full text articles with Google Scholar. This means that any article the student has access to via the library, is also available to them via Google Scholar. Because Google Scholar is integrated with library resources, the student will likely need to either be on campus, or logged into the off-campus proxy server to take advantage of these services.If they are off campus or not logged into the proxy serv er the student can still search Google Scholar, but access to full text resources may be limited. Finding News and Magazine Articles Factiva is a database that indexes newspapers and magazines. While this resource does not index scholarly articles, it is a broad resource that captures current global news and events. LexisNexis has a comprehensive database that indexes newspapers and magazines. significant Canadian bailiwick indexed there. Purchased by Gaia Cuccarini (gaia. [email protected] it) on March 21, 2013 There is alsoPage 7 9B08M057 Finding Industry Trends Several databases including Standard & Poors NetAdvantage, Mintel and Marketline provide pass overs on industry trends. These databases provide on a regular basis updated reports on broad industries. Each database tends to report on different industries, so students would have to do some trial and phantasm research to find relevant reports. Students may find their topic is too narrow for these reports. The Fi nancial Post Investor Suite is a database that provides industry information from a Canadian perspective. Finding Company randomnessCompany information may be important for a project such as The Piercer, especially for researching competitors. MarketLine provides company information, including financial information, company descriptions and a list of competitors. Similarly, Hoovers provides comprehensive company descriptions. Not all companies are in both resources, hence checking both resources is recommended for company research. Marketing and publicize The World Advertising Research ticker (WARC) is a resource that provides access to information about marketing and advertising, as well as to case studies of winning ad campaigns.Such a resource could be helpful in this context to see if other, similar products have been marketed, and if so, how they have been marketed. There is scholarly and non-scholarly information in this resource. Technology Information Both eMarketer and Forrester have information about technology trends. There may be information about the Internet, emerging technologies or electronic marketing. Statistics and Demographics Statistics Canada provides access to demographic data. Many secondary educational institutions participate in the Data Liberation Initiative.This means that information a member of the public would have to pay for, can be retrieved for free by a student. Students, through the academic library website, can use data for research. For more information about accessing statistics, students can talk to their subject librarian. Some resources that Statistics Canada has that might be useful to find demographics include the Market Research Handbook, Canadian Business Patterns, CANSIM data, Census data, and Canadian Social Trends, among others. There are other resources available via www. statcan. ca such as Community Profiles.Data are available down to groupings of the population of about 2,000 to 7,000 people, meaning stu dents can find demographic data for each 2,000- to 7,000-person neighbourhood across the country.

[email protected] it) on March 21, 2013 Page 8 9B08M057 Global Information Although global research may not be as important for a product such as The Piercer, other entrepreneurial projects may require researching the global market. Economic Intelligence Unit, Global Market Information Database and Business monitoring device Online are three resources that provide global market and industry information.Other Helpful Resources Students are encouraged to use the World Wide Web to help them find good information. For example, city homepages often have information about setting up a business. Association websites also can have helpful information. Also, banks have entrepreneurial information on their websites. In addition, many books in the library explain how to develop small business plans or provide information on entrepreneurship. Purchased by G aia Cuccarini (gaia.

There is a important reservoir of TB transmission system in this province and that there is a demand to develop community plans to place TB and to react rapidly with subdue steps. Some patients who have ready TB have complex checkup checkup checkup, social, and economic jobs that make outpatient control of the disease problematic, if non impossible, without presenting a menace to the public wellness. The Legislature finds that in state to protect the people from those few individuals who pose a m enace to the populace, it is necessary to set up a system of unconditional get together designation, intervention to bring around, hospital care, and isolation for contagious instances and to supply a system of voluntary, community-oriented attention and surveillance in all other instances.

Standards to be considered in this methodological analysis include, but are non trammel to, the basic substructure available for TB control, caseload demands, laboratory support services needed, and epidemiologic itemors. The end of the intervention program is to accomplish intervention to bring around by the to the lowest degree restrictive agencies. The section shall develop, a standard intervention program form that mustiness include, but is non limited to, a statement of available services for intervention, which includes the usance of straight observed therapy ; all findings in the rating and diagnostic procedure ; metric aims for intervention advancement ; and clip periods for accomplishing each aim. Each intervention program must be implemented through a instance direction attack designed to progress the single demands of the individual who has active TB. The individual ‘s advancement in accomplishing the aims of the intervention program must be sporadically reviewed and revised as necessary, in audience with the individual.\r\nRestrictions of Tuberculosis control services:\r\nDisobedience to anti tuber cular therapy is a major restriction to the TB control plans. The failure to take prescribed medicine is a cosmopolitan perplexing phenomenon. This fact must be taken into devotion when one enterprises to handle a patient or control diseases in a community. Terbium is a catching disease necessitating drawn-out intervention, and hapless attachment to a prescribed intervention increases the hazard of morbidity, mortality rate and spread of disease in the community The curative regimens given under direct observation as recommended by WHO have been describen to be extremely effectual for both forestalling and handling TB but hapless attachment to anti TB medicine is a major bulwark to it ‘s planetary control. Factors associated with patients for hapless conformity in the pre-DOTS ( Directly Observed Treatment Short-course ) epoch are alleviation from symptoms, ill reactions to drugs, domestic and work-related jobs. In an urban TB control plan, disobedience with DOTS was commo n and was about associated with alcohol habituation and homelessness. Disobedience is associated with an accession in the happening of hapless results from intervention and accounted for most intervention failures. Advanced plans are needed to cover with alcohol addiction and homelessness in patients with TB. [ 1 ]\r\n3 ) demand a wellness profession of involvement to you. Discourse the chief elements of how the profession is regulated, how the ordinances benefit the profession and the community, every bit good as any restrictions\r\nA wellness profession that involvements me the most is medical checkup convention ( chapter 458 ) .The profession is regulated by a set of regulations and the primary legislative draped is to guarantee that every doctor practicing in this province meets token(prenominal) demands for safe invention.

'Human development the three domains Essay\r'

'They begin to form their own views much(prenominal) as which sports to play, which groups of friends to be included in, and what personal appearances atomic number 18 attractive. The discoerment in thinking that happens during adolescence needs nurturing in order for it to develop. If an adolescent is non exposed to gip concepts and ideas at home and in shoal, then this susceptibility atrophies, and the teenager may grow up to be an adult who is a concrete thinker in most aspects of life (Huitt, W., & Hummel, J. 2003). The adolescent would not be able to make intelligent decisions close to life in a modern nightclub.\r\n frantic and companionable domain states the changes in emotional communication, egotism -understanding, cognition ab come forward otherwise volume, interpersonal skills, friendships, sketch relationships, and moral reasoning and behaviour. During adolescence, the changes of friendship occur, moving in the direction of intimacy and loyalty. Girlâ₠¬â„¢s friendships vest greater emphasis on emotional closeness, boys on status and mastery (Berk, 2003). by discover adolescence the amount of while spent with friends increases. Teenagers enjoy spending time with their friends. They detect to a greater extent understood and accepted by their friends. slight time is spent with p atomic number 18nts. Female adolescent prevail to place importance on attractiveness. Often causes of distressing ego-esteem argon when teens do not savvy themselves as attractive. Typically, self-esteem increases during late adolescence as teens develop a better sense of who they ar (University of bread Health System) (UMHS).\r\nA general example that distinctly identifies all triplet domains including social/emotional, cognitive and corporal is an adolescent who is playing a soccer tournament. physically he is kicking the ball and running in like manner he feels the pain on his leg when he kicks the ball. Cognitively he is thinking what if he misses the goal. In other words his full concentration is retributory on the ball. In terms of his emotional tincture he is feeling pressured and nervous. Socially he is communication with the other players in his team. Therefore these examples clearly identifies the three domains are interrelated.\r\nThe environment sets such(prenominal) as peers, family and raising fetch do my life and cod influence my unique development.\r\nPeers have had a greater influence on shaping my life. The peer group is valuable because it helps a child collar social, friendship, loyalty, and set with other peers. Peers do have greater influence over matters of immediate lifestyle, such as musical tastes or leisure activities (Troll and Bengston, 1982 and Davies and Kandel, as cited in Robertson, 1989, p.84). by dint of come to the fore my life peers have always been important to me. As I grew older I spent more and more time in the company of my peers. spending time with my peers I fel t more connected.\r\nI chose peers who accept me and whom I share my attitudes and interests. I raise trust my friends and we help each other out when we have problems. Friendship provides adolescents with a warm, close and rely relationship (Santrock 2002). My peers have helped me to be more sovereign and confident. I was shy, quite, but by making friends I felt more comfortable and independent around them and around others.\r\nThe family has the greatest impact on people’s life. From the moment of birth, children have and ascribed status in a subculture of race, class, ethnicity, religion, and region-all of which may strongly influence the character of later social interaction and socialization. For example, the values and expectations that children learn depend very much on the social class of their parents (Robertson, 1989). I believe my family has had a mussiness of influence on shaping my development. In my relationships with my family we pose respect for each oth er and we have values in our house. Most values that I plump for have been my beliefs in religion. It was my parents who taught me the beliefs that god exists and today I am a strong believer of god. We have Hindu traditions that we celebrate together including Diwali (festival of lights).\r\nThrough out high school I didn’t smoke, inebriation or get into drugs this is because of my close relationship with my family, rosy-cheeked open communication and parental support. Research shows teens who have positive relationships with their parents are less likely to aim in various risk behaviours, including smoking, fighting and drinking (Santrock 2002). My family has besides had a lot of influence on my viandsary behaviour within my home environment. My parents are vegetarian and this has had a huge impact on my diet today. They have strongly emphasized no cleanup spot of animals.\r\nEducation is another environmental influence that has shaped my development.\r\nEducation is the systematic, formalized transmission of knowledge, skill, and values (Robertson, 1989). Through education I have learnt how to speak face which is my second language. Language has helped me to communicate with others and has helped me to introduce my self to a wider community of people. By going to school I have learnt a variety of facts and skills such as interacting with others. Through involvement in academic programs and campus life, students engaged in exploration that produces gains in knowledge and reasoning ability, revised attitudes and values, enhanced self-esteem and self knowledge, and preparation for a high-status career (Berk, 2007).\r\nSchools have also taught me habits of punctuality and obedience to authority, this has helped me by means of out my life. Through my education I have started to eat brawny food and exercise regularly as beforehand I would eat a lot of affect and unhealthy food. (REF). Education has been an important opportunity to occupational and financial success. It has given me the ability to attend university and refining my certificate programme which will lead me to knight bachelor of nursing degree.\r\nTo conclude its contextual influences that drives these three domains which are physical, cognitive and emotional/social domains, for example responsibility, environment, food, education, family, relationships and culture. These are used in everyday life.\r\nBerk, L.E. (2007). Development through the lifespan (4th ed.). Boston: Allyn & Bacon.\r\nRobertson, I. (1989). Soialization. In society: A brief introduction.

She turned to Rommie and George, who were standing side-by-side and facial expression standardized fel sm every(a)s who might exigency to explain all told about the Mormon Church.\r\nI took a step in front, significance to do the introductions, and keister was taking trade of that, and one of his arms man sequenced to accomplish its mission after all ?? it circled her waist as he led her forward toward the men.\r\nMeanwhile a niggling put across slipped into mine. I looked down and saw Ki formula up at me. Her face was grave and piquet and every bit as beautiful as her mothers. Her blonde h beam, freshly washed and shining, was held back w ith a velvet scrunchy.\r\n‘Guess the electric refrigeratorafator people dont like me now, she said. The laughter and insouciance were bygone, at least for the moment. She looked on the room access of tear. ‘My letters all went bye-bye.\r\nI picked her up and set her in the crook of my arm as I had on the day Id met her locomote down the lay of Route 68 in her baaffair correspond. I kissed her forehead and past the tip of her nose. Her skin was faultless silk. ‘I notice they did, I said. ‘Ill buy you any(prenominal) much.\r\n‘Promise?

Kis eyes went in that di rection, wherefore came back to mine. ‘Im s feard, Mike.\r\n‘ scare? Of what?\r\n‘Ofi dont know. The lady in Matties dress. The men we saw. Then she looked all over my shoulder. ‘Here issues Mommy. I have hear actresses part with the line Not in face of the children in that exact same tone of voice. Kyra wiggled in the circle of my arms. ‘Land me.\r\nI landed her. Mattie, gutter, Rommie, and George came over to fall in us. Ki ran to Mattie, who picked her up and then eyed us like a general surveying her troops.\r\n‘Got the beer? she asked me.\r\n‘Yessum. A case of Bud and a dozen change integrity sodas, as well. Plus lemonade.\r\n‘Great. Mr. Kennedy ?? ‘\r\n‘George, maam.\r\n‘George, then. And if you call me maam again, Ill poke you in the nose. Im Mattie. Would you drive down to the Lakeview General-she pointed to the store on Route 68, about half a burl from us ?? ‘and confirm some ice?\r\n‘Y ou bet.\r\n‘Mr. Bissonette ?? ‘\r\n‘Rommie.\r\n‘Theres a minute garden at the north dismiss of the trailer, Rommie. brush aside you find a play off of liberal lettuces?\r\n‘I deliberate I can carry on that.\r\n‘John, lets get the meat into the fridge. As for you, Michael . . . ‘ She pointed to the grill. ‘The briquets are the self-lighting kind ?? just drop a match and stand back. Do your duty.\r\n‘Aye, pricy lady, I said, and dropped to my knees in drive of her. That at long stand got a giggle out of Ki.\r\nLaughing, Mattie took my hand and pulled me back onto my feet. ‘Come on, Sir Galahad, she said. ‘Its going to rain down. I pauperism to be safe inside and too stuffed to uprise when it does.\r\nIn the city, parties write down with greetings at the door, gathered-in coats, and those peculiar little air-kisses (when, exactly, did that social oddity begin?). In the country, they begin with chores. You fetch, you carry, you hunt for stuff like barbecue pair of tongs and oven mitts. The hostess drafts a couple of men to move the picnic table, then decides it was actually better where it was and asks them to get out it back. And at some point you discover that youre having fun.\r\nI piled briquets until they looked approximately like the pyramid on the bag, then touched a match to them. They blazed up gratifyingly and I stood back, wiping my fo croupem across my forehead. Cool and sop up might be coming, hardly it surely wasnt in hailing distance yet. The sun had abridgeed finished and the day had gone from dull to dazzling, yet in the west black-satin godsendheads continued to stack up. It was as if night had reveal a blood-vessel in the sky over there.\r\n‘Mike?\r\nI looked around at Kyra. ‘What, honey?\r\n‘ pull up stakes you take care of me?\r\n‘Yes, I said with no he getation at all.\r\nFor a moment something about my response ?? perhaps only the quickness of it ?? seemed to derange her. Then she smiled. ‘Okay, she said. ‘ take in, here comes the ice-man!\r\nGeorge was back from the store. He parked and got out. I walked over with Kyra, she aiming my hand and swing it possessively back and forth. Rommie came with us, juggling three heads of lettuce ?? I didnt turn over he was much of a aff ripe(p) to the guy who had fascinated Ki on the third estate Saturday night.\r\nGeorge opened the Altimas back door and brought out two bags of ice. ‘The store was closed, he said. ‘Sign said pull up stakes RE-OPEN AT 5 P.M. That seemed a little too long to wait, so I took the ice and model the money through the mail-slot.\r\nTheyd closed for Royce Merrills funeral, of course. Had given up almost a full days custom at the height of the tourist season to see the old dischargeow into the ground. It was sort of mournful. I thought it was similarly sort of creepy.\r\n‘Can I carry some ice? Kyra a sked.\r\n‘I guess, only dont frizzicate yourself, George said, and ca readerully set apart a five-pound bag of ice into Kis outstretched arms.\r\n‘Frizzicate, Kyra said, giggling. She began walking toward the trailer, where Mattie was just coming out. John was back end her and regarding her with the eyes of a gutshot beagle. ‘Mommy, look! Im frizzicating!\r\nI took the other bag. ‘I know the icebox is outside, but dont they keep a padlock on it?\r\n‘I am friends with most padlocks, George said.\r\n‘Oh. I see.\r\n‘Mike! Catch! John tossed a red Frisbee. It floated toward me, but high. I jumped for it, snagged it, and suddenly Devore was back in my head: Whats wrong with you, Rogette? You never used to throw like a missy conquer him!\r\nI looked down and saw Ki spirit up. ‘ gullt think about sad stuff, she said.\r\nI smiled at her, then goped her the Frisbee. ‘Okay, no sad stuff. Go on, sweetheart. pitch it to your mom. al lows see if you can.\r\nShe smiled back, turned, and made a quick, accurate flip to her mother ?? the toss was so hard that Mattie almost flubbed it. Whatever else Kyra Devore might have been, she was a Frisbee principal in the making.\r\nMattie tossed the Frisbee to George, who turned, the tail of his absurd brown suitcoat flaring, and caught it deftly behind his back. Mattie laughed and applauded, the hem of her top flirting with her navel.\r\n‘Showoff! John called from the steps.\r\n‘Jealousy is such an ugly emotion, George said to Rommie Bissonette, and flipped him the Frisbee. Rommie floated it back to John, but it went wide and bonked off the side of the trailer. As John hurried down the steps to get it, Mattie turned to me. ‘My boombox is on the coffee-table in the living room, along with a stack of CDs. Most of them are crawl inly old, but at least its music. Will you buzz off them out?\r\n‘Sure.\r\nI went inside, where it was hot in malevolence of three strategically placed fans working overtime. I looked at the grim, mass-produced furniture, and at Matties rather frightful effort to impart some character: the caravan Gogh print that should not have looked at home in a trailer kitchenette but did, Edward Hoppers Nighthawks over the sofa, the tie-dyed curtains that would have made Jo laugh. There was a bravery here that made me sad for her and unwarranted at Max Devore all over again. murdered or not, I wanted to kick his ass.\r\nI went into the living room and saw the new damn shame Higgins Clark on the sofa end-table with a bookmark viscid out of it. Lying beside it in a heap were a couple of little-girl hair ribbons ?? something about them looked old(prenominal) to me, although I couldnt guess ever having seen Ki draining them. I stood there a moment longer, frowning, then grabbed the boombox and CDs and went back outside. ‘Hey, guys, I said. ‘Lets rock.\r\nI was okay until she danced. I dont know i f it matters to you, but it does to me. I was okay until she danced. afterward that I was lost.\r\nWe took the Frisbee around to the rear of the house, partly so we wouldnt piss off any funeral-bound townies with our rowdiness and tidy cheer, mostly because Matties back yard was a good place to play ?? level ground and low stack. later on a couple of lose catches, Mattie kicked off her party-shoes, pelt along barefoot into the house, and came back in her sneakers. After that she was a lot better.\r\nWe threw the Frisbee, yelled insults at each other, drank beer, laughed a lot. Ki wasnt much on the hereditary part, but she had a phenomenal arm for a kid of three and played with gusto. Rommie had set the boombox up on the trailers back step, and it spun out a stupor of late-eighties and early-nineties music: U2, Tears for Fears, the Eurythmics, Crowded House, A voltaic pile of Seagulls, Ah-Hah, the Bangles, Melissa Etheridge, Huey Lewis and the unuseds. It seemed to me that I knew every song, every riff.\r\nWe sweated and sprinted in the noon light. We watched Matties long, tanned legs flash and listened to the bright runs of Kyras laughter. At one point Rommie Bissonette went head over heels, all the change spilling out of his bulges, and John laughed until he had to sit down. Tears trilled from his eyes. Ki ran over and plopped on his defenseless lap. John stopped laughing in a hurry. ‘Ooofl he cried, facial expression at me with shining, maimed eyes as his bruised balls no doubt seek to climb back inside his body.\r\n‘Kyra Devore! Mattie cried, looking at John apprehensively.\r\n‘I taggled my own quartermack, Ki said proudly.\r\nJohn smiled feebly at her and staggered to his feet. ‘Yes, he said. ‘You did. And the ref calls fifteen yards for squashing.\r\n‘Are you okay, man? George asked. He looked concerned, but his voice was grinning.\r\n‘Im fine, John said, and spun him the Frisbee. It wobbled feebly a cross the yard. ‘Go on, throw. Lets see whatcha got.\r\nThe bellow rumbled louder, but the black clouds were all placid west of us; the sky command overhead remained a harmless humid dismal. Birds serene sang and crickets hummed in the grass. There was a heat-shimmer over the barbecue, and it would concisely be time to slap on Johns New York steaks. The Frisbee notwithstanding flew, red against the green of the grass and trees, the grim of the sky. I was still in lust, but everything was still all right ?? men are in lust all over the world and curst near all of the time, and the icecaps dont melt. But she danced, and everything changed.\r\nIt was an old Don Henley song, one driven by a in truth nasty guitar riff.\r\n‘Oh God, I making love this one, Mattie cried. The Frisbee came to her. She caught it, dropped it, stepped on it as if it were a hot red spot falling on a nightclub stage, and began to shake. She impersonate her work force first behind her neck and then on her hips and then behind her back. She danced standing with the toes of her sneakers on the Frisbee. She danced without moving. She danced as they say in that song ?? like a wave on the ocean.\r\n‘The government bugged the mens room\r\nin the local disco lounge,\r\nAnd all she wants to do is dance, dance . . .\r\nTo keep the boys from selling\r\nall the artillery units they can scrounge,\r\nAnd all she wants to do, all she wants to do is dance.\r\nWomen are sexy when they dance ?? incredibly sexy ?? but that wasnt what I reacted to, or how I reacted. The lust I was coping with, but this was more than lust, and not copeable. It was something that sucked the worm out of me and leftfield me feeling utterly at her mercy. In that moment she was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen, not a pretty woman in shorts and a middy top dancing in place on a Frisbee, but Venus revealed. She was everything I had missed during the last four historic period, when Id been so unfavorablely off I didnt know I was missing anything. She robbed me of any last defenses I might have had. The age difference didnt matter. If I looked to people like my idiom was suspension out even when my mouth was shut, then so be it. If I lost my dignity, my pride, my genius of self, then so be it. Four years on my own had taught me there are worsened things to lose.\r\nHow long did she stand there, dancing? I dont know. in all likelihood not long, not even a minute, and then she currentized we were looking at her, rapt ?? because to some degree they all saw what I saw and tangle what I felt. For that minute or thus far-off long it was, I dont think any of us used much oxygen.\r\nShe stepped off the Frisbee, laughing and flush at the same time, confused but not really uncomfortable. ‘Im sorry, she said. ‘I just . . . I love that song.\r\n‘All she wants to do is dance, Rommie said.\r\n‘Yes, sometimes thats all she wants, Mattie said, and blush ed harder than ever. ‘ allay me, I have to use the facility. She tossed me the Frisbee and then dashed for the trailer.\r\nI took a deep breath, exhausting to steady myself back to reality, and saw John doing the same thing. George Kennedy was exhausting a mildly stunned expression, as if person had fed him a light sedative and it was finally taking effect.\r\nThunder rumbled. This time it did sound closer.\r\nI skimmed the Frisbee to Rommie. ‘What do you think?\r\n‘I think Im in love, he said, and then seemed to give himself a small mental shake ?? it was a thing you could see in his eyes. ‘I also think its time we got going on those steaks if were going to eat outside. Want to help me?\r\n‘Sure.\r\n‘I will, too, John said.\r\nWe walked back to the trailer, leaving George and Kyra to play toss. Kyra was asking George if he had ever caught any crinimals. In the kitchen, Mattie was standing beside the open fridge and stacking steaks on a platter . ‘Thank God you guys came in. I was on the point of giving up and gobbling one of these just the path it is. Theyre the most beautiful things I ever saw.\r\n‘Youre the most beautiful thing I ever saw, John said. He was being in all sincere, but the smile she gave him was distracted and a little bemused. I made a mental business to myself: never compliment a woman on her beauty when she has a couple of raw steaks in her give. It just doesnt turn the windmill somehow.\r\n‘How are you at barbecuing meat? she asked me. ‘Tell the truth, because these are fashion too good to mess up.\r\n‘I can hold my own.\r\n‘Okay, youre hired. John, youre assisting. Rommie, help me do salads.\r\n‘My pleasure.\r\nGeorge and Ki had come around to the front of the trailer and were now seated in lawn-chairs like a couple of old cronies at their London club. George was enounceing Ki how he had shot it out with Rolfe Nedeau and the Real Bad cluster on Lisbon Street in 1993.\r\n‘George, whats happening to your nose? John asked. ‘Its getting so long.\r\n‘Do you mind? George asked. ‘Im having a conversation here.\r\n‘Mr. Kennedy has caught lots of round-backed crinimals, Kyra said. ‘He caught the Real Bad Gang and set them in Supermax.\r\n‘Yes, I said. ‘Mr. Kennedy also won an honorary society Award for acting in a mental picture called Cool Hand Luke.\r\n‘Thats absolutely correct, George said. He brocaded his right hand and crossed the two fingers. ‘Me and capital of Minnesota Newman. Just like that.\r\n‘We have his pusgetti sauce, Ki said gravely, and that got John laughing again. It didnt hit me the same way, but laughter is catching; just watching John was enough to break me up after a few seconds. We were howling like a couple of fools as we slapped the steaks on the grill. Its a wonder we didnt burn our hands off.\r\n‘Why are they laughing? Ki asked George.\r \n‘Because theyre foolish men with little tiny brains, George said. ‘ nowadays listen, Ki ?? I got them all except for the forgiving Headcase. He jumped into his car and I jumped into mine. The details of that crease are nought for a little girl to hear ?? ‘\r\nGeorge regaled her with them anyway while John and I stood grinning at each other across Matties barbecue. ‘This is great, isnt it? John said, and I nodded.\r\nMattie came out with corn jailed in aluminum foil, followed by Rommie, who had a large salad gyre clasped in his arms and negotiated the steps carefully, trying to peer over the top of the bowl as he made his way down them.\r\nWe sat at the picnic table, George and Rommie on one side, John and I flanking Mattie on the other. Ki sat at the head, perched on a stack of old magazines in a lawn-chair. Mattie tied a dishtowel around her neck, an indignity Ki submitted to only because (a) she was wearing new clothes, and (b) a dishtowel wasnt a ba by-bib, at least technically speaking.\r\nWe ate enormously ?? salad, steak (and John was right, it really was the best Id ever had), roasted corn on the cob, ‘strewberry snortcake for dessert. By the time wed gotten around to the snortcake, the thunderheads were noticeably closer and there was a hot, goosey breeze blowing around the yard.\r\n‘Mattie, if I never eat a meal as good as this one again, I wont be surprised, Rommie said. ‘ convey ever so much for having me.\r\n‘Thank you, she said. There were tears standing in her eyes. She took my hand on one side and Johns on the other. She squeezed both. ‘Thank you all. If you knew what things were like for Ki and me earlier this last week . . . ‘ She shook her head, gave John and me a final squeeze, and let go. ‘But thats over.\r\n‘Look at the baby, George said, amused.\r\nKi had slumped back in her lawn-chair and was looking at us with glazing eyes. Most of her hair had come out of the scrunchy and lay in clumps against her cheeks. There was a dab of whipped cream on her nose and a single yellow kernel of corn sit down in the middle of her chin.\r\n‘I threw the Frisbee six fousan times, Kyra said. She intercommunicate in a distant, declamatory tone. ‘I tired.\r\nMattie started to get up. I put my hand on her arm. ‘Let me?\r\nShe nodded, smiling. ‘If you want.\r\nI picked Kyra up and carried her around to the steps. Thunder rumbled again, a long, low roll that sounded like the snarl of a huge dog. I looked up at the encroach clouds, and as I did, movement caught my eye. It was an old aristocratic car heading west on white Anglo-Saxon Protestant Hill Road toward the lake. The only reason I noticed it was that it was wearing one of those stupid bumper-stickers from the liquidation Cafe: HORN BROKEN ?? WATCH FOR FINGER.\r\nI carried Ki up the steps and through the door, number her so I wouldnt bump her head. ‘ slang care of me, s he said in her sleep. There was a wo in her voice that chilled me. It was as if she knew she was asking the impossible. ‘Take care of me, Im little, Mama says Im a little guy.\r\n‘Ill take care of you, I said, and kissed that sly place among her eyes again. ‘Dont worry, Ki, go to sleep.\r\nI carried her to her room and put her on her bed. By then she was totally conked out. I wiped the cream off her nose and picked the corn-kernel off her chin. I glanced at my watch and saw it was ten til two. They would be gathering at Grace Baptist by now. institutionalise Dean was wearing a gray tie. comrade Jellison had a hat on. He was standing behind the church with some other men who were take in in advance going inside.\r\nI turned. Mattie was in the doorway. ‘Mike, she said. ‘Come here, please.\r\nI went to her. There was no cloth between her waist and my hands this time. Her skin was warm, and as silky as her daughters. She looked up at me, her lips par ted. Her hips pressed forward, and when she felt what was hard down there, she pressed harder against it.\r\n‘Mike, she said again.\r\nI closed my eyes. I felt like soulfulness who has just come to the doorway of a brightly lit room full of people laughing and talking. And dancing. Because sometimes that is all we want to do.\r\nI want to come in, I thought. Thats what I want to do, all I want to do. Let me do what I want. Let me ??\r\nI realized I was dictum it aloud, whispering it rapidly into her ear as I held her with my hands going up and down her back, my fingertips ridging her spine, touching her shoulderblades, then coming around in front to cup her small breasts.\r\n‘Yes, she said. ‘What we both want. Yes. Thats fine.\r\nSlowly, she reached up with her thumbs and wiped the ladened places from under my eyes. I drew back from her. ‘The strike ?? ‘\r\nShe smiled a little. ‘You know where it is.\r\n‘Ill come tonight.\r\n‘Good .\r\n‘Ive been . . . ‘ I had to go through my throat. I looked at Kyra, who was deeply asleep. ‘Ive been lonely. I dont think I knew it, but I have been.\r\n‘Me too. And I knew it for both of us. Kiss, please.\r\nI kissed her. I think our tongues touched, but Im not sure. What I remember most clearly is the liveness of her. She was like a dreidel lightly gyrate in my arms.\r\n‘Hey! John called from outside, and we sprang apart. ‘You guys want to give us a little help? Its gonna rain!\r\n‘Thanks for finally making up your mind, she said to me in a low voice. She turned and hurried back up the doublewides narrow corridor. The next time she speak to me, I dont think she knew who she was talking to, or where she was. The next time she spoke to me, she was dying.\r\n‘Dont wake the baby, I comprehend her tell John, and his response: ‘Oh, sorry, sorry.\r\nI stood where I was a moment longer, getting my breath, then slipped into th e bathroom and splattered cold water on my face. I remember seeing a blue plastic hulk in the bathtub as I turned to take a towel off the rack. I remember view that it probably blew bubbles out of its spout-hole, and I even remember having a momentary flicker of an idea ?? a childrens story about a spouting whale. Would you call him Willie? Nah, too obvious. Wilhelm, now ?? that had a fine round ring to it, simultaneously special K and amusing. Wilhelm the Spouting Whale.\r\nI remember the bang of thunder from overhead. I remember how happy I was, with the finale finally made and the night to look forward to. I remember the mutter of mens voices and the murmur of Matties response as she told them where to put the stuff. Then I heard all of them going back out again.\r\nI looked down at myself and saw a certain lump was subsiding. I remember thinking there was nothing so absurd-looking as a sexually excited man and knew Id had this same thought before, perhaps in a dream. I le ft the bathroom, apprehended on Kyra again ?? rolled over on her side, fast asleep ?? and then went down the hall. I had just reached the living room when gunfire erupted outside. I never confused the sound with thunder. There was a moment when my mind fumbled toward the idea of backfires ?? some kids hotrod ?? and then I knew. Part of me had been expecting something to happen . . . but it had been expecting ghosts rather than gunfire. A fatal lapse.\r\nIt was the rapid pah! pah! pah! of an auto-fire weapon ?? a Glock nine-millimeter, as it turned out. Mattie screamed ?? a high, drilling scream that froze my blood. I heard John ring out in pain and George Kennedy bellow, ‘Down, down! For the love of Christ, get her down!\r\nSomething hit the trailer like a hard spatter of hail ?? a rattle of punching sounds running from west to east. Something split the air in front of my eyes ?? I heard it. There was an almost-musical sproing sound, like a snapping guitar string. On the k itchen table, the salad bowl one of them had just brought in shattered.\r\nI ran for the door and nearly dived down the cement-block steps. I saw the barbecue overturned, with the glowing coals already setting patches of the scant front-yard grass on fire. I saw Rommie Bissonette sitting with his legs outstretched, looking stupidly down at his ankle, which was soaked with blood. Mattie was on her hands and knees by the barbecue with her hair hanging in her face ?? it was as if she meant to sweep up the hot coals before they could cause some real trouble. John staggered toward me, holding out a hand. The arm above it was soaked with blood.\r\nAnd I saw the car Id seen before ?? the nondescript sedan with the joke sticker on it. It had gone up the road ?? the men inside making that first pass to check us out ?? then turned around and come back. The shooter was still leaning out the front passenger window. I could see the short smoking weapon in his hands. It had a conducting wire st ock. His features were a blue livid broken only by huge gaping eyesockets ?? a ski-mask.\r\nOverhead, thunder gave a long, awakening roar.\r\nGeorge Kennedy was walking toward the car, not hurrying, bitch hot spilled coals out of his way as he went, not bothering about the dark-red stain that was spreading on the right thigh of his pants, reaching behind himself, not hurrying even when the shooter pulled back in and shouted ‘Go go go! at the number one wood, who was also wearing a blue mask, George not hurrying, no, not hurrying a bit, and even before I saw the pistol in his hand, I knew wherefore he had never taken off his absurd Pa Kettle suit jacket, why he had even played Frisbee in it.\r\nThe blue car (it turned out to be a 1987 Ford registered to Mrs. Sonia Belliveau of Auburn and reported stolen the day before) had pulled over onto the shoulder and had never really stopped rolling. directly it accelerated, spewing dry brown dust out from under its rear tires, fisht ailing, knocking Matties RFD box off its rank and sending it flying into the road.\r\nGeorge still didnt hurry. He brought his hands together, holding his gun with his right and steadying with his left. He squeezed off five deliberate shots. The first two went into the trunk ?? I saw the holes appear. The third blew in the back window of the departing Ford, and I heard mortal shout in pain. The fourth went I dont know where. The fifth blew the left rear tire. The Ford veered to that side. The driver almost brought it back, then lost it completely. The car plough into the ditch thirty yards below Matties trailer and rolled over on its side. There was a whumpf! and the rear end was engulfed in flames. unmatchable of Georges shots must have hit the gas-tank. The shooter began struggling to get out through the passenger window.\r\n‘Ki . . . get Ki . . . away . . . ‘ A hoarse, whispering voice.\r\nMattie was crawling toward me. One side of her head ?? the right side ?? still looked all right, but the left side was a ruin. One dazed blue eye peered out from between clumps of bloody hair. Skull-fragments littered her tanned shoulder like bits of broken crockery. How I would love to tell you I dont remember any of this, how I would love to have someone else tell you that Michael Noonan died before he saw that, but I cannot. Alas is the word for it in the crossword puzzles, a four-letter word message to express great sorrow.\r\n‘Ki . . . Mike, get Ki . . . ‘\r\nI knelt and put my arms around her. She struggled against me. She was early and strong, and even with the gray matter of her brain protrude through the broken wall of her skull she struggled against me, crying for her daughter, missing to reach her and protect her and get her to safety.\r\n‘Mattie, its all right, I said. Down at the Grace Baptist Church, at the far end of the zone I was in, they were singing ‘ conjure Assurance . . . but most of their eyes were as b lank as the eye now peering at me through the tangle of bloody hair. ‘Mattie, stop, rest, its all right.\r\n‘Ki . . . get Ki . . . dont let them . . . ‘\r\n‘They wont hurt her, Mattie, I promise.\r\nShe slid against me, foxy as a fish, and screamed her daughters name, holding out her bloody hands toward the trailer. The move-colored shorts and top had gone bright red. Blood spattered the grass as she thrashed and pulled. From down the hill there was a cacophonic explosion as the Fords gas-tank exploded. Black smoke rose toward a black sky. Thunder roared long and loud, as if the sky were saying You want noise? Yeah? Ill give you noise.\r\n‘Say Matties all right, Mike! John cried in a wavering voice. ‘Oh for Gods sake say shes ?? ‘\r\nHe dropped to his knees beside me, his eyes rolling up until nothing showed but the whites. He reached for me, grabbed my shoulder, then tore ill-starred near half my shirt off as he lost his battle to st ay assured and fell on his side next to Mattie. A curd of white goo bubbled from one corner of his mouth. dozen feet away, near the overturned barbecue, Rommie was trying to get on his feet, his teeth clenched in pain. George was standing in the middle of Wasp Hill Road, reloading his gun from a pouch hed apparently had in his coat pocket and watching as the shooter worked to get clear of the overturned car before it was engulfed. The entire right leg of Georges pants was red now. He may live but hell never wear that suit again, I thought.\r\nI held Mattie. I put my face down to hers, put my mouth to the ear that was still there and said: ‘Kyras okay. Shes sleeping. Shes fine, I promise.\r\nMattie seemed to understand. She stopped deformation against me and collapsed to the grass, trembling all over. ‘Ki . . . Ki . . . ‘ This was the last of her talking on earth. One of her hands reached out blindly, groped at a tuft of grass, and yanked it out.\r\n‘Over h ere, I heard George saying. ‘Get over here, motherfuck, dont you even think about turning your back on me.\r\n‘How bad is she? Rommie asked, hobbling over. His face was as white as paper. And before I could reply: ‘Oh Jesus. Holy bloody shame stick of God, pray for us sinners now and at the bit of our death. Blessed be the fruit of thy womb Jesus. Oh Mary born without sin, pray for us who have asylum to Thee. Oh no, oh Mike, no. He began again, this time lapsing into Lewiston street-French, what the old kinsfolk call La Parle.\r\n‘Quit it, I said, and he did. It was as if he had only been waiting to be told. ‘Go inside and check on Kyra. Can you?\r\n‘Yes. He started toward the trailer, holding his leg and reeling along. With each lurch he gave a high yip of pain, but somehow he kept going. I could spirit burning tufts of grass. I could smell electric rain on a rising wind. And under my hands I could feel the light spin of the dreidel lag do wn as she went.\r\nI turned her over, held her in my arms, and rocked her back and forth. At Grace Baptist the look was now reading Psalm 139 for Royce: If I say, Surely the dimness shall cover me, even the night shall be light. The minister was reading and the Martians were listening. I rocked her back and forth in my arms under the black thunderheads. I was supposed(p) to come to her that night, use the key under the pot and come to her. She had danced with the toes of her white sneakers on the red Frisbee, had danced like a wave on the ocean, and now she was dying in my arms while the grass destroy in little clumps and the man who had fancied her as much as I had lay unconscious mind beside her, his right arm painted red from the short sleeve of his WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS tee-shirt all the way down to his bony, freckled wrist.\r\n‘Mattie, I said. ‘Mattie, Mattie, Mattie. I rocked her and smoothed my hand across her forehead, which on the right side was miraculously unsplattered by the blood that had drenched her. Her hair fell over the ruined left side of her face. ‘Mattie, I said. ‘Mattie, Mattie, oh Mattie.\r\nLightning flashed ?? the first stroke I had seen. It lit the western sky in a bright blue arc. Mattie trembled strongly in my arms ?? all the way from neck to toes she trembled. Her lips pressed together. Her brow furrowed, as if in concentration. Her hand came up and seemed to grab for the back of my neck, as a person falling from a falling off may grasp blindly at anything to hold on just a little longer. Then it fell away and lay limply on the grass, palm up. She trembled once more ?? the whole imperfect weight of her trembled in my arms ?? and then she was still.\r\n'

'Evaluate The Claim That The Nuclear Family Is Still The Norm In Modern Society Essay\r'

'Evaluate The Claim That The atomic Family Is Still The Norm In Modern Society. A thermonuclear family consists of married p arnts and their children. Changes in the rates of divide and unification contradict the idea that the nuclear family is lock up the norm. Changes in attitudes also mean that the nuclear family whitethorn not represent the majority of families. Over the decision 100 years, the trend in divorce has risen. For example, there were 3,000 divorces between 1921 and 1923 and in 1923, the grounds of divorce were equalised for manpower and women.\r\nIn 1949, legal aid was given to divorcees, devi nefariousnessg divorce cheaper, this could’ve lead to the 27,000 divorces in 1961.

After divorce, several types of family bunghole be organize e.g. a lone p bent family, a cohabiting couple or a reconstituted family. This suggests that the nuclear family is no eternal the norm as divorce has caused greater family diversity.\r\n on that point is also less of a reason to function married. This is because of blot, secularisation, rising expectations of marriage and the changing position of women.Declining stigma and secularisation lead to a turn away in the number of marriages, this is because it is no longer considered a sin to be in an unmarried sexual relationship. cost increase expectations of marriage also lead to a decline in marriages, this is because there is less motivation to tucker out married especially as gender roles are changing. The changing position of women means that they can treat and live independently from men, so it is not nece ssity for them to marry.\r\nThe decline in marriage means that nuclear families are no longer the norm as people now prefer to cohabit or live alone for example. Functionalists rely that the nuclear family is the ‘ working(a) fit’ therefore the norm in society.

They believe that other family types e.g. lone parent families are abnormal as they don’t see their function in society. Due to this, they blame unsoundness and crime on families such as these, claiming that they can not properly socialise children into the idea that marriage and the nuclear family is normal.\r\nMarxists do assume that the nuclear family is the norm in society.

If the family was not nuclear, then capitalists would not benefit, so all possible efforts are make to stigmatize other family types meaning that the nuclear family is the norm.\r\n'

Most competition for home-meal replacement hold ups from neighborhood restaurants, upscale fast-food outlets and supermarket prepared meals.\r\nFollowing is a matched analysis of the various(a) meal replacement alternatives: Fast Food Industry in 2012 at a Glance It is no secret: Americans love fast food. And its not just us! The Golden Arches have spread crossways the globe, and emerging markets are one of the fastest growing areas in the industry. scarcely the fast food industry is not without its challenges, especially in the United States. From ascension food costs, economic ceding venture and changing perceptions about health, many fast food franchises have been spirit some heat.\r\nBut rather than flee from this challenge, the fast food industry has been adopting new practices and offering new products. Modern society is on the go, and in that location is band of demand for a quick bite at all times of the day. Fast food franchis ing opportunities exist in the â€Å"traditional” spaces like burgers and pizza, but are also sprouting up in healthy and unique ways as well. The Industry The fast food industry, also known as lovesome Service Restaurants (QSR), has been serving up tasty morsels for as long as people have lived in cities.\r\nThe modern system of fast food franchising is believed to have started in the mid 1930’s when Howard Johnson franchised his second location to a friend as a means to expand operations during the Great De askion. And oh how it has grown! As cars became commonplace, the drive-thru concept brought explosive growth to the idea of food-on-the go. â€Å"Fast Food” was added to the Merrion-Webster dictionary in 1951 and U. S. fast food companies are now franchised in over 100 countries. In the U. S. alone in that location are over 200,000 restaurant locations! Revenue has grown from $6 billion in 1970 to $160 billion last year, an 8.\r\n6% annualized rate. Fast food franchises focus on high volume, low cost and high speed product. ofttimes food is preheated or precooked and served to-go, though many locations also offer seating for on-site consumption. For stands, kiosks or sit-down locations, food is standardized and shipped from central locations. Consumers make out being able to get a well-known(prenominal) meal in each location, and menus and marketing are the same in every location. What’s Been deviation Wrong? There have been challenges for the fast food industry in recent years that have been pressuring profit margins.\r\nThe industry as a satisfying has proven robust enough to withstand these challenges, though some players have done better than others. Over the last decade on that point has been increased focus on the quality of food served in fast food restaurants. Typically highly processed and industrial in preparation, much of the food is high in fat and has been shown to increase body mass mogul (BMI) and cause w eight gain. Popular books such as Fast Food Nation and documentaries like overseer Size Me have increased public consciousness of the negative health consequences of fast food.\r\nFast food companies have responded by adopting healthier superiors and have had some measure of success, but the shadow of bad press still hangs over the industry. Rising commodity prices have also significantly crunched many fast food franchises. With food and beverage inputs making up just about 33% of costs, higher prices for livestock, corn, wheat and more have seriously shrunk margins over the past decade. In such a furiously competitive space it is unaccepted to force a price increase on customers, so profit margins are often to the south of 10%.\r\nThe recent economic recession did lower commodity prices, but the recession brought on its own complications, and now prices for commodity inputs are on the rise again. Fast food had been thought to be largely recession proof, and indeed the indust ry did not recede nearly as much as other discretionary spending sectors. In fact, there was some increase in consumer visits as people choose cheaper fast food options over fast episodic or traditional restaurant choices. But overall, the recession hurt spending, and consumers overall purchased less with each trip. Fast food franchises fared reasonably well but still felt some pain.\r\nMarket saturation is also a relevant issue in the fast food industry today, at least in the U. S. There is a McDonald franchise is in almost every town, and it usually sits in a row with several competitors. With so many competitors which offer sympathetic products there are fewer customers per location. Increasingly fast food restaurants are also losing market share to fast casual, a relative newcomer in the restaurant space. Where do we Go from Here? picky citizens still need quick meal options, and fast food restaurants are fighting these challenges with gusto.\r\nNow offering healthy choices to battle the stigma of unhealthy food, some quick service restaurants now focus on fresh or organic products. From franchises focused just on salads or healthy wraps to the lower kilocalorie options offered at traditional burger franchises such as Wendy’s or McDonald’s, consumers are able to make better choices…if they want! Fast food franchises are also focusing on expanding into new product lines, such as the coffee initiative in the McCafe. think to offer competition to Startbucks, McDonalds is luring customers back into their stores, hoping they will purchase food as well.\r\nMany franchises have been exploring other meal times such as eat and the mid-afternoon snack for growth opportunities and to increase real demesne utilization. The industry is most effectively battling saturation inwardly the United States by creating a much more diverse range of offerings. Sure, there is a McDonalds in every town, but there are very few crepe franchises…yet ! From new cultural cuisines to fresh takes on a traditional story, there are many moretypes of quick service restaurants than ever before. The fast food industry is still a large and diverse industry with plenty of opportunity.\r\nAs one would hope, challenge is being answered with innovation, and fast food franchises are responding with new offerings, pricing and strategies to lure consumers back in. Non-traditional fast food franchises are springing up and gaining traction, and more creativity will always be take! Consumers are now on the look-out for new ways to eat fast and healthy. And as the industry continues to spud and the economy strengthens, fast food franchise lucrativeness will continue to grow. doorkeeper’s five forces industry analysis for Krispy Kreme Saturday, January 29th, 2011 at 9:00 am.\r\nWhat is Porter’s Five Forces? Well I dubiousness there is any need to explain one of the most famous strategic tools around but just in case, it is a tool to break the external industry to find the root causes of profitability. once again seeing an example is useful and below is a five forces analysis of Krispy Kreme. Rivalry among existing competitors ( high civilise +++) * High concentration of rivals e. g. Starbucks and local chains * Static market growth * High fixed costs * decayable products (food and drink) A large number of competitors in the industry are all competing for the same customers.\r\nCoffee chains (e. g. Costa, Starbucks) are all competing to be number one in the market and have akin corporate goals. While product differentiation is limited, there is raspy differentiation by product range, brand and store ambience (e. g. seating). There are zero transformation costs for customers, which promotes price wars. Market growth is static, which promotes fierce fighting for market share, and there is saturation of competition due to the limited number of prime locations for sale for outlets. Smaller chains have to pay a premium for prime sites or settle for less desirable locations.\r\n curse of new entrants (Medium +) * Large capital requirements required to build chain of stores * Favourable locations are already occupied * Economies of scale in dissemination and raw ingredients (lower per unit costs due to the experience curve) * Product and brand differentiation Capital requirements for individual stores are low, however new entrants wishing to compete on a like basis with national store networks, distribution channel, brand equity development and advertising, face large capital requirements to gain market share.\r\nThis is reflected in the large number of individual outlets compared with the itsy-bitsy number of large, proven top specialty eateries. The UK commercial property market is landlord-driven and controlled; premium locations in the UK are scarce and command high prices with most of the well- ascertain locations within town centres, airports and train stations already being occupied by existing competitors. Threat of substitutes (Medium +) * Large choice of alternatives with similar products e. g. energy drinks, cakes, biscuits, ice-cream, burnt umber * No break costs.\r\nAlthough a consumer can choose from multiple substitutes (e. g. desserts, pastries or drinks), speciality eateries compete establish on convenience and opportunity. Most people buy from speciality eateries when travelling, shopping or meeting people. This is bear witness by the location of the eateries, which is concentrated around high footfall locations such as train stations, business districts and shopping centres. For a consumer this becomes a competitive choice rather than a substitute choice (e. g. do I buy a coffee from Starbucks or Costa).\r\nOther substitutes come from full menu eateries such as restaurants and fast-food outlets with a smaller threat from supermarkets. dicker power of suppliers (Low) * Vertically integrated businesses with only commoditised raw ingredient s * Large number of suppliers to choose from and low shift key costs Bargaining power of buyers (Low) * Buyers are come apart and numerous * Although there are no switching costs for the buyer the food and drink market is part of the fabric of society Conclusions and Recommendations.\r\nFast food consumers of Bangladesh, especially the university students, considered brand reputation as the most important factor when choosing fast foods followed by neighborhood and accessibility, affinity in taste, cost and quality kind, sack and taste, clean and hygiene, salesmanship and decoration, fat and cholesterin, and self-service. The recent upset in the fast food industry of Bangladesh was created by the discovery of unethical practices conducted by several fast food businesses resulted in consumers putting their trusts on renowned fast food brands only.\r\nThereby it is seen that the fast food houses with reputed brand name and recognition i. e. KFC, BFC, Pizza Hut, Coopers etc. are carrying out their businesses in a usual manner even in the toughest time of the industry. The majority of the fast food brands that passed with flying colors during the mobile courts followup for quality maintenance were able to either establish or revitalize their brand reputation. Eventually as suggested by the research findings, the university students will select such fast food brands that have brand reputation.\r\n anyhow the brand reputation, the other important factors were nearness and accessibility, similar taste of fast food, cost and quality relationship, tax write-off and taste. In case of nearness or law of proximity and accessibility factor, consumers prefer to go to the fast food outlets that are close from their own home or study institutions. It is seen that the fast food shops in Bangladesh has already considering the factors by establishing their outlets near big corporate houses and private universities. Especially, in Dhaka city this practice is seen in Bail ey road where majority of fast food shops are located.\r\nNear Bailey road, there are 3 girls’ school and collages, and 3 boys’ school and 2 collages in walking distance. Almost similar point prevails in Gulshan, Banani area of the city where KFC and Pizza Hut outlets are situated near 3 private universities. It is understandable from the situation that the students studying at these institutions consider these nearby fast food outlets whenever they decide to consume fast foods. There is an opportunity here however, for new fast food shops to compete with the existing fast food outlets.\r\nSince establishing a new outlet in an already competitive business space is expensive and difficult, the new fast food businesses can introduce mobile fast food outlets. Through mobile fast food outlets, new fast food businesses can experience their fast foods that are already cooked fresh in their shops, but kept hot and delivered to the students instantly with their own choice o f accompanying taste enhancers i. e. tomato sauce, discontinue etc. These mobile fast food outlets could be on top of a mini-truck, van etc.\r\nThe similar taste of the fast food factor refers to the fact that no matter which fast food outlet a particular fast food head is bought from, the taste should be similar. For example, if a cowardly burger is bought from an outlet of KFC, the taste would be similar to any other chicken burger bought from any other KFC outlet. The taste could differ from other fast food shops as the different business use taste as differentiating factor in case of food items. But the businesses have to keep in mind that too much difference in taste of similar fast food items makes the consumers confused.\r\nThe cost and quality relationship is also an important factor considered by the consumers of fast food. If the cost of a fast food item is high, it is usually considered to be carrying high quality and vice versa. So, the businesses of fast food product s have to be elaborate in setting the prices of the fast food items. The pricing should be such as it offers the right amount to value to the consumers in a competitive price that at the same time ensures adequate profit margins for the fast food businesses. Finally in toll of discount and taste factor, the consumers consider the availability of discounts in fast food outlets.\r\nUsually these discounts are offered as group discounts i. e. arranging a party or social gathering at a reduce price package etc. Consumers consider this option when choosing fast food products. They might not straightaway use this factor but it puts the fast food shop in their consideration set for later use. This study recommends that the fast food producers or distributors at Dhaka city should focus more on the brand reputation, nearness or proximity and accessibility, cost, quality, discount, and comparison in taste factors.\r\nIf they are able to carry out these needs, university students of Bang ladesh will be induced to buy and consume fast food whenever they are out of their houses. However, there is an ample scope to conduct further study on the election factors used by the office-goers, housewives, and visitors in buying fast food to determine if there are any more common or unique factors prevailing among these different groups that might be important in making decisions regarding the choice of fast food items in Bangladesh. Abstract.\r\nFast food industry is a high growing sector of Bangladesh. It is have-to doe with with the tastes and habits of the people. The food-taking habit especially in fast food segment has been changing very fast over last decade among the people of Dhaka †the capital city of Bangladesh. The reasons could be attributed by the increase of awareness, growth of education, development of information technology, and expansion of television channels and print media in Bangladesh. Hence, this paper aims at come ining the taste sensation fac tors of fast food consumers living in Dhaka city.\r\nThis study was conducted among the university students who usually eat fast food at their leisure time. To conduct the study, a total of 250 respondents were interviewed with a structured questionnaire. Both descriptive and illative statistics were used in analyzing the data. Multivariate analysis technique like factor analysis was performed to identify the orientation factors of the fast food student-consumers of Bangladesh. Multiple regressions were run to identify the relationship between the factors identified and the overall preference of the consumers.\r\nResults show that the consumers give most importance on brand reputation of the food item followed by nearness to receive and accessibility, similarity of taste with previous experience, cost and quality of the food, discount and taste, cleanliness and hygiene, salesmanship and decoration, fat and cholesterol level, and self-service factors. This study suggests that the brand reputation, nearness and accessibility, similarity in taste, and cost and quality relationship should be emphasized to improve the attraction of the university students towards the fast food items in Bangladesh.\r\n'
