2. Which of the statistics listed in #1 affects you personally and how? Obesity-related medical conditions cost our nation nearly $150 billion every year and account for 16 to 18 percent of our total healthcare costs. This effects me because if people would just eat healthier than the money can go into schools and pay for cops, firefighters, and teachers. 3.Suggest ways that our society as a whole could reverse or improve the statistic in a positive way for each of the statistics listed in #1.
There are two Food Champions, each capable of handling 100 orders per hour. How long should it take to be served by the restaurant (from the time a customer enters the kiosk queue until her food is delivered)? Use queuing models to estimate this. λ=Arrival Rate μ=Service Rate Based on M/M/1 Model So, λ=360040=90 Customers per hour μS (Service Champion)= 120 Customers per hour μF (Food Champion)= 200 Customers per hour Now, we need to calculate Average Total Time spent by customer in complete system: Ls (Service Champion) =λμ-λ Ls = 90120-90=3 Customers Ws (Service Champion) = Lsλrnote Ws = 390=0.033 hour or 2 min or 120 sec Ls (Food Champion) =λμ-λ Ls = 90200-90=0.82 customer Ws (Food Champion) = Lsλ Ws = 0.8290=0.009 hour or 0.54minor32.72sec ∴Total Average Time=WService+ WFood =120+32.72=152.72 seconds 3. On average, how busy are the Customer Service Champions and the two Food Champions?
There was a massive divide in the North from the South. The North had an industrial revolution in the late nineteenth century, although Italy’s industrial development was always going to be limited, as they did not have enough key resources such as iron and coal. The poorer side of Italy, the South, was full of peasants and no industrialisation, therefore the South suffered from a bad economy and poor living conditions. In the South, 0.01% of the population owned 50% of the land. That agricultural industry in the South was so corrupt that farmers gained no profit from their livestock and crops, therefore was inefficient and moving backwards.
6/7/2012 Paper #3 A New Form of Helping the Economy A modest proposal written by Jonathan Swift does carry merit in regard to balancing the economic problems that have surfaced in Ireland. Swift comes up with an idea which has to do with selling poor children in order to help the economy by providing people with more food and better nutrition. Swifts ideals of using poor children as a new form of meat to be sold at markets is definitely one possible way of solving the economic crisis. He states many valid points in regard to how selling poor children will benefit the economy as a whole. The six benefits listed by Swift are all plausible ideals that are widely wished for and they would give the economy a very good advantage.
The famine had a disastrous effect all over Ireland and with the failure of the then British rulers to help with the food shortage and the exporting of grain to pay landlords their rent Ireland became practically unlivable which was the main reason for Irish immigration in the 1800’s. The famine left over a million people dead of starvation and others who survived with diseases such as cholera and typhus. Making them flee to the United States and Canada as well, as the living conditions were harsh in Ireland, the ship they traveled in to America was poorly as well, it was know as the “Coffin Ship”. The conditions were so poorly that many Irish died during the trip to the United States and Canada, never having the chance to live the better
And 80% would die within a week. Back then thay had lack of medical knowledge and they tried anything to cure the disease but nothing would work. The towns and cities faced food shortage. The outbreak had a huge impact on the field because the men who work in them was to sick to tend to the field and the crops would die. Animals that was being raised to eat went free because people was not able to tend to them.
When the Irish Came to the United States Jennifer Holtam ETH/125 May 14, 2012 Maurianna Swanson When the Irish Came to the United States The Irish American ethnic group in the United States has gone through very hard times, since their arrival to the United States. The Irish immigrated to the United States during the Irish Potato Famine that struck Ireland, the potato famine was a period of mass starvation, disease and emigration between 1845 and 1852. The Irish potato famine was the worst famine to occur in Europe in the 19th century. (Britannica.com) The Irish immigrated to the United States in hopes of finding a new life for them
The next main idea is that children will provide an excellent meat source (Swift 250). “A young healthy child well nursed is at a year old a most delicious, nourishing and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled, and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricassee, or a ragout” (Swift 250). This means that people will be committing cannibalism. This also means that people will be committing murder. The final main idea is that children would be able to be a profitable source for their parents: “The constant breeders, besides the gain of eight shillings sterling per annum, by the sale of their children, will be rid of the charge of maintaining them after the first
Geographic and Environmental Factors There are many reasons that people migrate to other locations. Sometimes it is due to weather, famine, war or violence, and fear of persecution to name a few. This is a discussion of two situations that lead to the expansion of the United States, the development and expansion of Egypt and the diffusion of potatoes from an early society to modern day use. Environmental or Physical Geographic Factors Irish Potato Famine In the mid-1800s The Irish potato famine lasted for six years and led to the death of over one million people and caused an additional one million people to leave Ireland. Ireland was among one of the poorest nations in the world during this time, the residents relied heavily on eating potatoes on a daily basis.
