The Basseri have a Khan or a chief. He is focused only on three things, allocating pastures, settling disputes, and dealing with foreigners. What is the economic organization of the Basseri?
“Wake up, Jay” My mother called on a Monday morning, “time for school.” “Oh great” I thought, “3 miles there, 3 miles back.” I went to Armrail Elementary School with my brother and sisters. Not a lot of kids went to school back then. When we get home from school, we help out in the garden. We grew potatoes, tomatoes, okra, and corn. We also raised chickens for eggs and chicken.
Purpose: Name Assignment #1: Good Night Motel Background: * Justin McGregor, owner of Good Night Motel is offered a proposition from George Alward that would fill up all 30 units of the motel from Friday 10/26/12 – Saturday 10/27/12 * The renters are delegates to a church convention which fits the family-style reputation that the motel wants to maintain * Alward offered to pay $40/unit as opposed to the normal $80/unit * The dates that Alward wants are during the slow season where it struggled to fill up to ¼ of the rooms * In recent years, a further dip of an additional 7%-15% is expected in room occupancy * Revenues are expected to remain flat for the next several years Issues and Qualitative factors: * McGregor doesn’t want to take the deal because he says that Good Night barely broke even in the 2012 and is afraid that giving out these rooms for ½ price will be unfavorable * McGregor is also afraid that giving this deal might set future precedents Guidance: * A Cost Volume Profit (C-V-P) analysis should be done to determine breakeven point and contribution margins Computation: * McGregor’s take on the breakeven point in incorrect. He looked at the income statement and came in the conclusion that the motel only made $3,177 in 2012. * This is incorrect because depreciation is not a cash outflow and should not be considered. Total operating expense | $385,973.00 | less: depreciation | $54,700.00 | Total cash outflow | $331,273.00 | * He only needs to earn $331,273.00 in revenue to break even instead of the original $385,973.00 that he thought. He earned $389,150.00 which is well above that amount.

The man Doña Demetria chose to marry was a "worldly" man, having worked during his youth in Valladolid and other parts of Yucatán, but had settled in Tulum to grow corn, gather gum, and follow the day-migrant labor work stream of the 1940s. Although he asked for her in the customary way, with the required marital arrangements, visits, and bride-gifts for the bride and her family, the couple had only about three months of happy marriage. After that, her husband began drinking and physically abusing her. Nearly everyone I spoke to, including Doña Demetria herself, commented on Don Narciso's remarkable jealousy and violence. Her father was the nohoch tatich, or patron of Tulum's sacred cross, and during my fieldwork she was the most important woman in Tulum's Iglesia Maya.
Abraham Lincoln was born on February 12, 1809. He had two parents and their names were Nancy and Thomas Lincoln. Lincoln is from Hodgenville, Kentucky where he was brought up on a farm. On this farm of 230 acres (only thirty of which were tillable) Abraham lived for five years, helped his parents with chores, and learned his ABCs by attending school for a few weeks with his older sister Sarah (Lincecum). There was a period of slavery in the time that Abraham was being brought up in.
A few beers later and we were ready to hit the hay to take on the next day. I ended up driving back to Parsons with my Aunt, Uncle and cousin because my grandparents had no vacancy at their house. Before leaving, my cousin and I grabbed our rifles so that we could head straight to the field the next morning. I was very anxious, excited, and nervous; therefore, I got little sleep that night. I’ve been hunting deer for almost a decade and never once have I had the opportunity to shoot an eye-dropping trophy buck.

Emerging Agriculturalists Although they have been in America for more than 200 years, and number over 30,000 souls, including children, the Amish have remained one of the least familiar of all American Protestant groups.

As said by Manoj in an article Ethical and Environmental Reasons for being a Vegetarian, each year 90% of the grain produced in America is used for feeding the livestock such as cows, pigs, lambs and chicken. Every sixteen pounds of grain only gives us one pound of beef. That grain can be used to create bread, cereal, and other food products that can be used to help feed the nation and the nations poor. Along with this, a diet of grains, vegetables and beans will support about 20% more people than a diet of meat will. If we primarily produce vegetables and grains, this will drive down prices, making the food cheaper and more attainable to the nations poor and the planet would be about to support the population.
