Clarence Birdseye is commonly known as the founder of the modern frozen food industry. An entrepreneur, American inventor and naturalist, Birdseye began his career as a taxidermist. Birdseye's next field assignment, off and on from 1912 to 1915, was in Labrador in the Dominion of Newfoundland (now part of Canada), where he became further interested in food preservation by freezing, especially fast freezing. He was taught by the Inuit how to ice fish under very thick ice. In -40°C weather, he discovered that the fish he caught froze almost instantly, and, when thawed, tasted fresh. He recognized immediately that the frozen seafood sold in New York was of lower quality than the frozen fish of Labrador, and saw that applying this knowledge would

When Bobby Adedge was 18 years old, he had already won two Olympic gold medals. By the time he was twenty-two, he had been a well-known goalie on a prestigious professional hockey team. He had married an even more famous supermodel, who had her own budding career as an actress. He was thought to be smart, having invented the first dissolvable hockey puck, which was great for planet Earth and recycling, but not-so-good when hockey games went into overtime, the puck often melting onto the ice before the game was over. His inventor-phase was short-lived.
Roy and Ryan Seiders, brothers, invented the YETI cooler because of their love for the outdoors. They were always outside. Whether it is fishing, hunting, or even camping, you would not find the brothers sitting on the couch watching television. In 2006, they made their first cooler and it has taken off ever since. They wanted a cooler that would live up to their standards, which were being tough and keeping things colder, longer. Their mission was simple: “Build the cooler we’d use everyday.” Their target market is the serious outdoorsmen.
Throughout the reading this week, the information presented in David Elliott and Bennett Reimer’s texts stressed the importance of music and more specifically, music education. “People everywhere find music rewarding, and everywhere we find people engaged in formal and non-formal efforts to teach and learn music.” (Elliott, 2014, p. 4)
During the Great Depression many people were left with nothing after the market crash. In “The Nations Asks, “Is it to Be Murder, Mr. Hoover?” argues why the states are getting relief but the people are starving in the streets. The author complaints of the lack of responsibilities the government has throwers the people by saying “lack of food and undernourishment must be charge up against the government of the United States” (195). During WWII many Japanese resident that were located in the west coast were force out of there house because of fear. In the source “Dissent in Korematsu v. United States” the author shares the court case of Fred Korematsu the violation of his rights as an American. Korematsu was arrested for refusing to leave his
Fred Korematsu was standing up for thousands of japanese-americans including himself even though no one else was helping him and having faith in him, even his family thought he was an embarrassment. According to Justice Robert Jackson, “the court for all time has validated the principle of racial discrimination … The principle then lies about like a loaded weapon, ready for the hand of any authority that can bring forward a plausible claim of an urgent need.” What this is trying to explain is that Fred Korematsu was never taken seriously in court, because of racial discrimination, that just because they are authority they think that they can load a weapon or because they are judges they have the right to discriminate and put citizens in
The Prize was excellently written by Dale Russakoff. In this short non-fiction, she describes the current state of Newark, New Jersey’s public education system. Newark has one of the poorest education systems and because of that students have experienced failure upon failure. Many have worked to improve this system including philanthropist, administrators, teachers, and even members of the community. Through The Prize, she shows the different perspectives of individuals who have these titles and what they did or believe they can do in order to improve the system. It is very interesting how so many people have different ideas, though they are connected in the same system, and no one seems to listen to the other, which shows the lack of communication
After the 9/11 attack, Americans became enraged with those from the middle east, specifically Muslims. Raisuddin Bhuiyan, who goes by Rais, was a Muslim who immigrated to The United States, was unfortunately a victim of this hate. After being shot and nearly killed by Mark Stroman, Rais's faith after the shooting became very strong, realizing he was given a reason to live.
Having the chance to hear David Tavares speak granted me as a social work student the ability to listen and process what life is like as a client and hear firsthand the factor that may have led to his incarceration and the programs that helped him maintain his resiliency to succumbing to the violence of his environment. This paper will address some of the key subjects that David discussed and how this relates to what we have learned in class and applying this knowledge to when I graduate.

An impartial society: Utopia or Hell? What would happen to the world if the people were literally equal in every aspect of their lives? In the futuristic short story, “Harrison Bergeron” by Kurt Vonnegut Jr., the world is finally living up to America’s first amendment of everyone being created equal. In this society, the gifted, strong, and beautiful are required to wear handicaps of earphones, heavy weights, and hideous masks, respectively. Thus, these constraints leave the world equal from brains to brawn to beauty. With the world constantly pushing for equality among people, Vonnegut reveals a world that society is diligently working toward. Through this foreshadowing of the future, Vonnegut attempts to use Diana Moon Glampers and
"If I tried to get away with it, then other people'd get away with itand soon we'd be right back to the dark ages again " This statement by George Bergeron sums up Kurt Vonnegut Jr.'s short story "Harrison Bergeron" in one line. "Harrison Bergeron" is the story of a futuristic United States in the year 2081, where all individuals are made equal regardless of what their natural born characteristics were. They are made equal both mentally and physically, all to the same measure of intelligence and strength. In "Harrison Bergeron" the society has become apathetic and equally conformed because of the power of the Handicapper General, the forced use of handicaps, and the people within the society who continued to let
“Harrison Bergeron” is a story about Big Government forcing equality on citizens by the use of handicaps; in doing so they hold everyone back from their fullest potential. The year 2081 is oppressive to say the least; people are punished for being above average in intelligence, beauty, physical abilities or any variety of capabilities. No one is supposed to be more attractive, stronger, more intelligent or quicker than anyone else. The quest for egalitarianism is faulty; people who are born gifted are hindered by ridiculous weight bags, glasses to cause blindness and headaches, ear radios that send nerve racking noises every twenty seconds courtesy of a government transmitter and hideous masks are a few objects implemented to make
