Are you likely to need long-term care?
This year about seven million men and women over the age of 65 will need long-term care. By the year 2005, the number will increase to nine million. By the year 2020, 12 million older Americans will need long-term care. Most will be cared for at home; family members and friends are the sole caregivers for 70 percent of elderly people. But a study by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services indicates that people of age 65 face at least a 40 percent lifetime risk of entering a nursing home. About 10 percent will stay there five years or longer.
The American population is growing older, and the group over age 85 is now the fastest-growing segment of the population. The odds of entering a nursing home, and staying for longer periods, increase with age. In fact, statistics show that at any given time, 22 percent of those age 85 and older are in a nursing home. Because women generally outlive men by several years, they face a 50 percent greater likelihood than men of entering a nursing home after age 65.
You may never need a nursing home. But the longer you live, the greater the chance that you will need some form of long-term care.

They do not use a local farm supply as its consistency to deliver the amount of products they need are lacking. By using industrial manufactures they can be assured that they are to get consistent standards in their food products when ordered.
With a unique appeal, a healthy and delicious product, and a powerful social message that made our target customers feel great about eating Chipotle over more traditional fast food, we have pioneered the fast-casual restaurant model our customers admire. Furthermore, our food sourcing is a rewardable effort and it is what we and our customers respect.
The best way to persuade the consumer to purchase Chipotle products is for the company to advertise to their target audience their commitment to the integrity of the food they are preparing. One way to do so is to advertise in stores their food and safety inspections. Another way to do so is to advertise their commitment to clean stores and fresh produce.
From the sensitive topics, like those of ethnicity, race, mental disabilities, sexual orientation, or gender identity, society has taken some slow steps in a positive and more progressive direction regarding tolerance. It would be prudent to first take a closer look at how Merriam-Webster’s dictionary defines and differentiates tolerance versus acceptance. Tolerance is defined as, “capacity to endure pain or hardship.” (Merriam-Webster) Acceptance on the other hand is defined as, “A taking or consenting to take something offered; 2. Approval.” (Merriam-Webster) The most identifiable difference between these two concepts is the interactive consent present in acceptance that is not as apparent in tolerance. Tolerance is a more passive concept,

The main significant difference between Chipotle and others is they support green, they use recycled plastic for their utensils and napkins. Most of the hardware material like trash cans, tables chair and some decoration materials made out of recycled and salvage material. Chipotle’s politics towards recycling attracts a good amount of hipster crowd. We are living in a depletory reality, the resources in our hand are not going to last much longer and we already damaged the entire globe’s ecology with our existence so we have to start recycling from some point. The younger generations are more aware of recycling and ...
Long-term health care consists of personal medical, and social services rendered to elders with chronic indispositions. These types of services are carried out through several different means, such as nursing homes, home health care, and respite care. The focus on long-term care is to provide an environment assisting with treatments plans, personal up keep and rehabilitation. As the largest part of our growing population reaches retirement age, several new questions and issues have arose. Financially, long term health has is an ever growing concern of the elder population and those who have accepted the financial burden. A large portion of the economy struggles with the cost of the ever rising prices of health care. The economy has been hindered with financial difficulty and it has had several implications on the ways we spend our money. For some of the baby boomers, it has left them with no choice but to continue to work in order to provide. For others, it has left them no option but to live with family members or seek assistants elsewhere. Income has evolved into a stressor for elders planning retirement.

...y ingredients in markets like China and India would be an arduous task. The commitment of quality may not be viable in most developing nations at present, which would keep Chipotle from meaningfully entering or expanding in these fast-growing markets. Ultimately, it would be a trade-off between growth and quality until the ingredient become widely available.
Aging Trends. Older women outnumber older men at 24.3 million older women to 18.8 million older men (Administration on Aging, 2010). Obviously each generation of elderly individuals benefits from the educational benefits and medical advances accrued during their lifetime (Smart. 2012). In the year 2000, individuals who were age 65 and older represented 12.4% of the U.S. population; this same segment will be 19% of the population by 2030 (Administration on Aging, 2010).
Although there is evidence from many studies that disability rate is declining in the U.S.2, the rapid expansion of the oldest-old age group will continue to pose health care challenges for future generations. Disability prevalence rates are very high in the oldest-old3 and even reached 97% in centenarians4. These high rates of disability will have a tremendous financial impact in the future as people living with disability have much higher health care expenditures5.
Could you picture yourself being happy living in a nursing home? Or could you see your parents living in a nursing home, knowing or not knowing that they are the complete opposite of content. What if I told you most elders residing in nursing homes are miserable and desperate for a different way of living. There has been an increase of elderly people having to trade a normal life for a life of boredom, depression, neglect, and abuse. Nursing homes should be the best experience for older people due to the fact, that they will never get to live a life again and should make their last years as enjoyable as possible.

Plato gave the first and principal written account of Atlantis in his dialogues, “Critias” and “Timaeus”. In his description, Atlantis was a huge island located near the Straits of Gibraltar. In this island, there was a great empire which had flourished more than nine thousand years earlier. Atlantean residents had extraordinary intelligence. Their society was far more advanced than any other civilization at that time. The wealth of Atlantis was so unimaginable that even the walls were covered in gold. Furthermore, Atlantis had a huge trading network and a powerful navy. But with the passage of time, the Atlanteans became more and more arrogant, and they even wanted to rule the whole world. They were defeated by brave Athens soldiers. After that, fatal earthquakes and floods occurred in Atlantis; and in a single day and night, the island of Atlantis was swallowed up by the sea.
