Over the last 10 years our company has fought with lost electronic orders and no outlook into status. The appeal has been generated to produce a database for customer service to retrieve, to be able to have one click access to status of a purchase order effortlessly. Also vital is a register of any impending lost orders for research to confirm customers are not asking on orders we have not yet handled. This will also help to outline metrics around order handling times to set standards for what is occurring today and create enhancements in those processing times.…

It was faster and deeper than I imagined. The pappin ferry that we took couldn't hold the number of people we had in our wagon train. It almost tipped over, but we still lost some stuff. Mary Ellen, Jasper, Mary, and I jumped into the fast moving current and saved as much as we could. In the end we couldn't save the coffee. That left us with bad water.…

Martha’s Vineyard is a small island five miles off the southeastern shore of Massachusetts settled in the mid to late 17th century. For nearly 300 years, from the early eighteenth century to the mid twentieth century, it was home to a remarkably high percentage of deaf Americans who developed their own sign language, Martha’s Vineyard Sign Language. This isolated island allowed sign language to flourish beyond the deaf community, dissolving barriers between deaf and hearing prevalent in the rest of the world.…

1. Olaudah Equiano represented a confluence of African and European cultures. While he spent only his childhood in Africa, Equiano remained cognizant of his African heritage and tied to his cultural roots. Yet he also embraced British culture and customs with prodigious alacrity. Equiano imbibed British ideas about liberty, commerce, Protestant religion, and social habits and mores. He even married an Englishwoman, Susan Cullen, and lived out his days in London. In short, Equiano lionized British society and sought to emulate his white peers. How does Equiano define his identity? Is he African? Is he British? How do you explain this hybridity?…
The story opens in 1919 after the war and we are first introduces to an old woman named Niska, a native American living in Canadaand we learn she is a medicine woman and healer. She’s one of the last of her clan to live in the bush, having fought off going to the reserves and governments wanting to take the Indian out of the Indian at the time. She hears that her nephew who’s been sent off to the war has returned and paddles a long way to get to the train station. She sees just how much the war has left him damaged: he’s lost a leg and is addicted to morphine, which was the pain medicine was used at the time. She understands that he’s actually close to death and as she paddles him home, she realizes that in order to help him all she has to offer are the stories of her life. While she does this, Xavier who can’t even talk and almost deaf internally reflects on the past number of years, on his experience in the war with his childhood friend Elijah. This gives way to two different stories, two different narrators Niska and Xavier. The novel is structured like one of those Russian Matryoshka dolls, the ones where you open up the doll to find other, smaller dolls inside. Niska tells Xavier stories of her life, Elijah is obsessively compelled to tell Xavier war stories and poor Xavier is too damaged to speak of his own stories and so relives them in his morphine-addled head.…

Emanuel Leutze painted a painting in 1851 called “Washington Crossing the Delaware”, and David Shulman wrote a poem of the same title in 1936. Both of these men used their own perspectives of this event in history. Many people may have different perspectives based on how they might feel about the historical event. Some might see it as the revolution and others might see it as an act of greed and war. In addition, you might interpret it as Washington just being tedious and anxious for land. Myself as judging both of their pieces I conclude that they have more similarities than differences.…
Along the eastern United States runs a trail inching along from Georgia to Maine; this trail is known as the Appalachian Trail. It stretches for an amazing 2,184.2 miles from Springer Mtn., GA all the way to Katahdin, Maine. There are three types of hikers that attempt this life changing walkabout: the section hiker takes the trail and divides it up in sections to hike at separate times; the flip-flop hiker does sections of the trail in different places to avoid weather and crowds; the thru-hiker tries to tackle the entire trail in one go. Typically it takes a thru-hiker an average of about 4 to 6 months to complete the trail and that is going 18 to 20 miles a day. Each year there are “thousands of hikers attempting…
