Chapter Summary
One of my favorite chapters in this book was chapter fourteen. The name of the chapter is “The Leader.” “The Leader” is about how Mickey Mantle became the New York Yankee’s best player and how he took Joe DiMaggio's place on the team. Chapter fourteen is about Mickey Mantle’s tenth season. During that season Mickey Mantle batted .317 and won the Triple Crown Award for the second time in a row. Only a few other players have done that in baseball history. He batted in one hundred and twenty eight runs, two away from his career high of one hundred and thirty. That year he also hit fifty-four home runs, breaking Babe Ruth's record of fifty home runs.

A prime example of the possible contributions of underwater archaeology is the Ulu Burun shipwreck. The Ulu Burun shipwreck is the remains of a Late Bronze Age (~1600 – 1050 BCE) trading vessel dated to about 1300 BCE. The shipwreck was discovered in 1982 off the coast of Ulu Burun, near the modern city of Kas, Turkey. This fifty-foot long vessel was resting at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea at a depth of approximately 150 feet. Eleven sets of excavations were conducted from 1984 to 1994 in order to deliver the artifacts to the surface for analysis. From this wreck site, archaeologists now have a more detailed and precise understanding about the trade and distribution of commodities in the Late Bronze Age.

1910 to 1920 was the one of the greatest decades for Major League Baseball. Many amazing events occurred during this decade; although, some devastating and extremely sad events also occurred. Half of these years were taken up by war, even many Hall of Fame players served. This decade still ended up being a great one for Major League Baseball. From Hall of Fame greats to Negro League pitchers, this decade produced greats. The 1910’s also set up the 1920’s for amazing players too.

Mickey Charles Mantle’s early life was not easy. He was born in the small town of Spaivinaw, Oklahoma on October 20, 1931 to Lovell ‘Mutt’ Mantle and Elvin Charles, who named their son after Hall of Famer Philadelphia Athletics catcher Mickey Cochrane (ESPN). Starting baseball as a young boy, Mickey learned how to bat on both sides of the plate when his grandpa Charley pitched to him right-handed while his father Mutt pitched left-handed (Gallagher 15). In school Mickey excelled in football, basketball, and baseball (ESPN). Mickey was once kicked in the shin during a football practice. Overnight his shin turned purple and swelled up. Doctors diagnosed him with early signs of the bone disease osteomyelitis. At one point, doctors thought that Mickey might have to get his leg amputated but luckily that did not happen (Gallagher 16).
On June 2, 1925, Lou Gehrig officially took over first base from an ailing Wally Pipp (Hickok). This was the beginning of his fourteen-year tenure in Major League Baseball. His breakout year was in 1926, where he hit .313 and led the league with twenty triples (“Biography”). It was the first of twelve consecutive seasons hitting more than .300. The following year, he hit .373 with forty-seven home runs and 175 runs batted in (Hickok). He earned most valuable player (MVP) that same year (Hickok). Gehrig got MVP honors again in 1936 when he hit .354 along with a league-leading forty-nine home runs and 152 RBI’s (Hickok). When it came to the World Series, Lou Gehrig always stepped up. In 1928 against the St. Louis Cardinals, Gehrig had four home runs and nine RBI’s with a .545 average (“Biography”; Hickok). Additionally, Gehrig racked up three home runs, nine runs scored, eight RBI’s, and a .529 average (Hickok). In thirty-four World Series games, Gehrig had thirty-five RBI’s, thirty runs scored, eight doubles, three triples, ten home runs, and an average of .361
As shown by the endless “no artificial additives or preservatives” label dominating fridges and pantries across the nation, society’s obsession with all things natural and whole persists. Yet, despite research which shows organic fruits and veggies don’t truly provide more nutrients, growing numbers of people remain willing to pay large amounts of money and sacrifice convenience in order to hop onto the organic bandwagon. People view organic things as real because they lack the artificial byproducts of human creation (such as pesticides and unnatural fertilizer). So, perhaps it is less so that organic foods entrance people with their many health benefits, but that people place great emphasis on the value of authentic things: real food and,
The organic movement began to become influenced by American corporations when organic agriculture became institutionalized (Johnston, Biro, & MacKendrick, 2009). The corporatization of organic food has influenced the movement by re-defining the word organic itself. Now that larger corporations need approval and certification of their products, the term organic has begun to shift from a word that was once loaded with environmental ideals to a simple label signifying that the products met the standards of the regulations set forth by the USDA. The increase of interest in larger corporations has also influenced the movement as it has caused certification processes to become more costly, so costly that smaller suppliers cannot manage and consequently get pushed out of the market. While the buy-outs by larger corporations may deter members of the organic movement from making purchases from their company, a lack advertisement may hide the fact that the smaller companies have been bought out especially as larger corporations keep the original name without publically announcing that they have bought out the company. In fact, in the “Lost in the Supermarket: The Corporate-Organic Foodscape and the Struggle for Food Democracy” study, it was reported that only 56% of corporations list their affiliation with the smaller organic company that they buy out. In order to maintain the guise of staying true to the origins of the organic movement, many corporations who have bought out smaller companies advertise to the public in a way that projects images of small and humble beginnings of family owned farms. In other words, though corporations use large scale farms in several different areas, they still portray their company in a light that depicts them as small, family farms—truly humanizing
I have given you a little background on Ronald W. Reagan the man and a leader. Then I explained to you, two areas that I feel that make Reagan an effective visionary leader. The first area was how he effectively uses of Transformation Leadership style through his vision, thinking, charisma and caring approach inspired a nation to embrace and move forward after a decade of hardship. Seconded area I covered was how he fully embraced Cognitive/Behavioral and Demographic Diversity in accomplishing his vision of promoting world peace and setting the foundation to ending the Cold War. In closing I would like to leave you with this closing remake for Reagan: "What I'd really like to do is go down in history as the President who made Americans believe in themselves again.”
Emotional intelligence is the ability to gauge your emotions as well as the emotions of those around you, to make a distinction among those emotions, and then use that information to help guide your actions (Educated Business Articles , 2017). It also helps us consciously identify and conceive the ways in which we think, feel, and act when engaging with others, while giving us a better insight to ourselves (Educated Business Articles , 2017). Emotional Intelligence defines the ways in which we attain as well as retain information, setting priorities, in addition to regulating our daily actions. It is also suggested that as much as 80% of our success in life stems from our
Throughout his professional career, Jackie Robinson, received criticism for being the first “black” player to play the game. Not only did Jackie Robinson manage to live up to the criticism, he also changed the face of America’s greatest past time forever. With his entrance into the MLB he opened the path for great black players like Hank Aaron, Roberto Clemente, Willie Mays, and Ozzie Smith just to name a few. In crossing the color-barrier in baseball Robinson not only strived as a great player on the field, but also a inspiration to the black community of the field with his humility, and willingness to move forward in a time where blacks were not considered “equal”.
It could be said that in modern industrial society, Disability is still widely regarded as tragic individual failing, in which its “victims” require care, sympathy and medical diagnosis. Whilst medical science has served to improve and enhance the quality of life for many it could be argued that it has also led to further segregation and separation of many individuals. This could be caused by its insistence on labelling one as “sick”, “abnormal” or “mental”. Consequently, what this act of labelling and diagnosing has done, is enforce the societal view that a disability is an abnormality that requires treatment and that any of its “victims” should do what is required to be able to function in society as an able bodied individual.
Consumer Perception: Even though consumers’ have become conscious about the kind of food they buy; there is not a clear understanding and implication of “organic”. They are also not able to tell the difference between “natural” and “organic” on product labels. The gap is even wider for consumers that have never purchased any kind of organic food till date.
