An article titled “Industry boom in Harrison County” written by the Marshall News Messenger describes how Harrison County, Texas’ industry has recently grown. Marshall Economic Development Corporation, further being acknowledged as MEDCO, has contributed to Harrison county’s industry growth by issuing incentive packages, and providing hospitality and quality service to local businesses as well as potential businesses. Due to new contracts and an incentive package from MEDCO, a local manufacturing company by the name of Woodlawn Manufacturing Ltd. has added new jobs to the Marshall area. Another local company by the name of General Cable has expanded and added more jobs to Harrison County, also made possible by an incentive package.
Similarly, tax abatements approved by the Harrison County Commissioners Court have also played a role in helping business owners decide to choose Marshall as their business hub. The Marshall News Messenger has reported that a company opened earlier this year has grown in full-time positions also due to MEDCO’s involvement. Another local manufacturing business issued more than one hundred construction jobs for a facility expansion and then grew in employment after completion.
Furthermore, MEDCO has been able to relocate an international software developer named Seven Networks to the Marshall area which added full time positions to Harrison County. MEDCO has also continued to help expand and grow Seven Networks. MEDCO has
Hillsboro County Home Health Agency was established in 1946 with the mission to provide medical services to Hillsboro County, which was then known as Middleboro home agency.

The automotive component & Fabrication Plant, ACF, was the original plant site for Bridgeton Industries, a major supplier of components for the domestic automotive industry. All of the ACF’s production was sold to the Big-Three domestic automobile manufactures. Its main competitors were local suppliers and other Bridgeton plants. This company did very well but recently it became less effective when foreign competition and scarce, expensive gasoline caused domestic loss of market share. For boost its selling, it made four criteria, quality, customer service, technical capability, and competitive cost position to evaluate three classifications of products.

Industrialization was a turning point in history for countries across the globe in the 18th century and the 19th century. In the time period of 1850 and 1914, most of Western Europe and America had already experienced impressive economic and lifestyle adjustments thanks to industrialization. In this time of constant innovation and change, Japan and Russia were both trying to industrialize like Western Europe and America did. The goal for both: to keep their own identity and culture in the process and ultimately have great success. Although both Japan and Russia had a similar goal with industrialization, and both were driven by a state-sponsored industry, the experiences for industrial workers in Russia were significantly worse than those in
Texas Administrative Code, Title 25, Part 1, Chapter 14 establishes the County Indigent Health Care Program (CIHCP) rules regarding program administration, determining eligibility, and providing services. The Health and Safety Code which outlines the responsibilities of each County saw the emergence of the individual county indigent programs. The program offered medical assistance to the County’s Indigent population. By definition, indigent is defined as needy, or poverty stricken. The program was designed to assist the county residents who fell under this category. The Cameron County Indigent program was originally run by a department within the County’s administrative structure. The program met with great success but it also had many failures. Under the county’s indigent program hundreds of people were helped every year. It seemed like the medical needs of the indigent population might have found a solution. County officials realized that there was no control over the expenditures. What this meant was that the program usually ran out of funds before the fiscal year was over. This left many clients, present and future, without medical assistance. The program eligibility requirements were streamlined so that ineligible applicants would not be incorrectly classified and be considered eligible. In August of 2007 Cameron County decided to contract with Valley Baptist Health Services instead of going with the Rio Grande Valley

22). Joanne Fuller, (2017), Director of the Multnomah County Health Department outlines the vision of the MCHD “we have a vision that includes you…healthy people in healthy communities” (Fuller, 2017 Welcome, p. 1). The vision, mission, values, and goals listed on the Multnomah County website use words like partnership, promote, protect, and assure the health of people who reside in the catchment area, Multnomah County. Furthermore, the mission is followed by 10 clearly defined values. The HSC clinic as part of the organization would adhere to the same mission and values. Additionally, the HIV clinic focuses the mission further to “serve people living with HIV providing comprehensive and compassionate medical treatment, nursing care and social services” (HIV Health Service Center, 2017, p.1). Values that the clinic and
Between 1865 and 1920, industrialization caused significant changes in many people’s lives. First, the development of a new railroad system help settle the west and made it more accessible to people. Second, public transit systems in big cities provided an outlet from congested cities. Last, the discovery of a method for transmitting electricity helped to light up our daily lives. I feel that these are three of the most important changes in people’s lives caused by industrialization.
I chose the case study from chapter three, Teamwork atMarshall’s Processing Plant (Miller, 2009, p. 57-58). The case study explains that management at the processing plant would like input about getting employees to participate again in the Team Management System. The Team Management System at Marshall’s consists of teams of employees representing their job function within the plant. These teams meet once a week to discuss ways to improve production. Once a month a representative from each team of employees is chosen to attend the Marshall Team Meeting and bring issues to the table for discussion from each work group
The United States has always housed two types of people: those who embrace change and those who resist it. From loyalists and revolutionaries in the eighteenth century to democrats and republicans in the twenty-first, changing economic tides and social conditions often spark factions in this nation. In the case of the Antebellum period, new technology and working environments caused turmoil. In a few short decades, the country would be locked in a civil war. However, before that came a series of religious and reform movements. Some of these movements would grow into national conversations, but began first with small groups. In Antebellum America, industrialization caused a breakdown in social structure, especially norms of class, gender, and race. This led to middle and upper class men in the North and the South using similar strategies to resist social change. Industrialization also allowed alternative voices to advocate for entirely new dynamics of power surrounding class, gender, and race.
There is no question that the Industrial Revolution had an enormous impact on American society between 1870 and 1940, but the question is what kind of an impact did it have during this period. The overall effect of the Industrial Revolution turned out to be a positive push towards modernization in America. As Stephen Gardiner, a British architect and writer during the 20th century, said, “The Industrial Revolution was another one of those extraordinary jumps forward in the story of civilization.” While Gardiner hit the nail on the head with his quote, the part of the story that most people tend to forget is just how quickly we Americans, made that extraordinary jump forward. There were Americans, who, at one point in their life were
Mark Twain once called Industrialization an, “Era of incredible Rottenness.” Industrialization had both negative effects and positive effects on city life. While big businesses thrived, the gap between the rich and poor grew larger day by day. Progressive reformers sought to close this gap and bring together the nation.
After the First World War America was a completely different country. The twenties was a very unusual time period in American History. The twenties were a time of fun and partying. There are many reasons why it was called the Roaring Twenties.

The agriculture industry is not only the largest industry within our state, but also within our nation. However, in recent years it has also been one of the most heavily criticized. This has led to a ‘brain drain’ in rural America as more people decide to leave our industry and their family farms.
