This is Part 3 of a 3-part series about America’s fascination and love for baseball and hot dogs. In Part 2, we discuss the growth of America’s love for hot dogs and America’s national pastime, as well as the importance of Charles Feltman and Babe Ruth to hot dogs and baseball, respectively. In part 3, we will continue with the historical examination of both, concluding with their place in the American present.

In the 1890s, the word “Frankfurt” was well known, especially in 1893 when it became popular in ballparks. Credit is given to Chris Von of Ahe who started the tradition. He was the owner of the major league baseball team St. Louis Browns.

Harry M. Steven, who ran a food concession in the early 1900s at New York City’s Polo Grounds, had his vendors sell large, spicy sausage rolls during Giants baseball games, topped with sauerkraut and mustard. His salespeople were yelling, “Get your hot ones! Hot ones!”

Nathan’s has been recognized today for having the highest quality hot dogs in the world. Statistics show that 360 million Nathan’s Frankfurters were sold last year. They also have the famous Frankfurter eating contest. These hot dogs are sold and enjoyed at 20,000 retail and food service outlets across the United States. Sports celebrities like Joe Namath and Joe DiMaggio loved Nathan’s wieners.

For both Charles Feltman and Nathan Handwerker, the American dream was embraced. This symbolized for them “a dream of social order in which each man and each woman can reach the maximum stature of which they are innately capable, and be recognized by others for what they are, regardless of the fortuitous circumstances of birth or position.” (James Trulow Adams 1931)

For Babe Ruth, the Sultan of Swat, the American dream also came true. He is the most recognizable and adored baseball player to this day. The image of him sharing his hot dog with children in the stands at Yankee games was commemorated in a commemorative film of his life, The Babe, where John Goodman played him. It’s no coincidence that the national rise in popularity of both the hot dog and baseball go hand in hand. Charles Feltman sold wieners in New York, where they were popular locally in the early 20th century. Babe Ruth played in New York from 1920 to 1934. He loved this succulent delight and was the most famous athlete of that era, perhaps of any era. Their well-known hot dog consumption and baseball lore combined to spread the word that “red hot hots” were a great food and should be tried, especially while watching a ballgame.

Soon hot dogs were being sold in every ballpark, the tradition was born, and the Frankfurter became a staple of the American diet and of baseball itself. In fact, if you try to show off and make a mistake in baseball, it’s known as a “hot dog” because you’re trying to be better than you are when a hot dog is certainly good enough, especially the way they make them. in the ball park. Today, many famous and delicious gourmet Frankfurters and hot dog variations are sold at every park in Major League Baseball, including Fenway Frank in Boston, Nathan’s Dog in New York, the famous Dodger Dog, and even the Bison Dog in Atlanta. There are more variations of the delicious meat treat today than Derek Jeter’s hits.

So next time you’re at the grocery store, you can pick up chicken, turkey, tofu, or beef sausage, or wait until your next barbecue, ballgame, or outdoor festival to eat that magical outdoor dog. But if you fancy one now, you don’t have to wait for opening day, there’s always a “Nathan’s” somewhere.

Red Hot! Any? You bet… Hey, I’ll have one here! It may not be diet-friendly, but it tastes great and is certainly patriotic!

The new world of Web 2.0 has made things look a bit like the Wild West in terms of law firm marketing. It’s all new, there are no guidelines, and frankly, it can be a bit scary at times. I understand. I was once also surprised by the sheer number of opportunities.

But, you have to take the time to understand your options.

In today’s world of more choice than ever before, your law firm will never have a constant stream of prospects calling if you’re not in marketing. And let’s be honest, marketing can be time consuming, has a steep learning curve, and usually requires a lot of expensive trial and error.

Fortunately, once you figure that out, business (and life) becomes a lot easier. And when you have the double whammy of attracting the right prospects and engaging over 80% of those who call your office, you now have a real business. [ed note: if you aren’t engaging over 80% of the prospects who call your office, you are wasting a whole lot of your time & most of the money you spend on your marketing.]

I can definitely understand the desire to outsource a substantial portion of your lead stream. Who wouldn’t want someone else to handle what for many of you is the most difficult part of your business: making the phone ring?

In response, companies have sprung up that claim they will make your phone ring by harnessing the power of the Internet. Although not all companies are the same. Here’s what to look for when hiring an outside legal marketing firm to help with your marketing:

1. Pay only for results.

Pay for results or (pay for performance) means you only pay if you get results. But, not all results are equal.

Beware of companies that promise to get your website to the top of Google or other search engines. Those are not necessarily the results you want or are interested in. Sure, they can get you to the top of Google for certain keywords, but are those the keywords your prospects are searching for? What about all the other searches? And what happens when people land on your website? Is your website ready to convert viewers into your customers? If your site is like most lawyer sites I’ve seen, no.

If you’re not prepared to invest the time and money into building a website that converts (we can cover that another day), you may want to look for a company that provides you with qualified leads.

2. No long-term contracts.

Look for a provider that does not require you to sign a long-term contract. If it’s pay for results or pay for performance, why demand a long-term contract? Either you are receiving the contacts or not.

3. Evaluation that benefits you and not the provider.

I heard a rumor that some pay-for-performance companies filter the inquiries and select the best cases for themselves or their friends. I understand this is more common in the personal injury field and I can’t confirm this, but be careful if you are 1 in 5 or 6 attorneys getting contacts in a specific area. Look for a company that will deliver ALL leads coming in for your specific area leaving no discretion over which leads you get and which you don’t.

If you use these guidelines before choosing a company to outsource your marketing to, you will have very little, if any, risk.

And, while you know I’m a big fan of outsourcing so you can be the lawyer you always wanted to be, don’t rely on outsourced marketing as your only source of leads. Make online pay-for-performance marketing part of your mix, but make sure you have your own internal systems to also become THE go-to attorney in your local community.

Even though I graduated from the University of Oregon and went back there to complete my master’s degree, that’s not the main reason I encourage young people to become students there. The truth is that there are several good reasons to choose the University of Oregon and I would like to share some of them here.

1. Location and some things that the University of Oregon has to offer

The University of Oregon is located in Eugene, Oregon, a city of just over 100,000 people about 100 miles south of Portland, Oregon’s largest city. The climate is moderate with a very few days a year of freezing weather and a very few days of extremely hot weather. Ocean beaches are just over an hour away, and mountain lakes are about the same distance in the opposite direction. I-5, a major highway that runs along the east side of the city, makes the University one of the most accessible universities in the state.

The City of Eugene is an active community that offers something for everyone. If you like the outdoors, Eugene is noted for its many miles of bike trails, especially the scenic ones along the banks of the beautiful Willamette River.

During the year, running is often highlighted as Eugene claims to be the Running Capital of the World. The Olympic Track and Field Trials were held at the University last summer, so that title may be more than just wishful thinking.

Art shows and music festivals abound. The Hult Center for Performing Arts in downtown Eugene has something going on every day of the week, and people come from all states (and some nearby states) to attend the annual Bach Festival there.

Eugene offers excellent restaurants for every taste imaginable.

Lane Community College, an excellent Junior College is located on the outskirts of the city and offers an extensive program of technical courses, as well as university transfer classes for those who prefer to start their college education at a smaller institution. (See the link to the Lane Community College website for more information.)

Every fall, the Eugene Celebration draws huge crowds who turn out, rain or shine, to choose that year’s Slug Queen, a rather dubious honor, but it’s all in good fun. The festival continues with many other activities to capture the minds of those not interested in Slug royalty and it’s an experience that will leave you looking forward to next year’s festival.

There are two main hospitals in the area, and medical care is available in almost all parts of the city. An award-winning newspaper, The Eugene Register Guard, effectively covers the news, both local and national.

two. A bit about the program, faculty, and size of the University of Oregon

Known for its excellence, the University of Oregon offers professional programs such as journalism, education, law, performing arts, music, architecture, planning, and public policy. It is a leading liberal arts and sciences university and has been ranked by US News & World Report as one of America’s Best Universities not just once but multiple times.

The faculty at the University of Oregon is outstanding, often attracting notable scholars who have taught at top universities across the country. Student enrollment for 2010 is expected to be approximately 21,000.

According to the University’s website, 7 governors of the state of Oregon have been elected 7 from among the graduates of the University of Oregon; two faculty members have been Nobel Prize winners, ten have been Pulitzer Prize winners, 19 have been Rhodes Scholars, and 129 faculty members have been Fulbright Scholars. Many other faculty members have also received various illustrious awards.

The University of Oregon has been recognized for having a higher percentage of its students join the Peace Corps than any other university in the nation. More than 2,000 of its graduates have joined.

3. Tuition fees and student housing for 2010

In today’s economic climate, tuition costs have become a very important consideration when choosing a college. The University of Oregon is about equal to other state universities of the same size when it comes to college costs. Tuition for fall 2010 is estimated to be around $7,428, with another $1,050 for books and supplies. Students who will need financial aid or scholarships are urged to visit their website to see what is currently available.

It is difficult to estimate the cost of housing, as much depends on whether a student plans to live in a college dorm, share an off-campus apartment or house with a friend, or live with their own family members.

Luxury dormitories and apartments in the immediate area of ​​campus are available to those who can afford them, but there are plenty of off-campus rentals as well. Unless you have a relative you plan to stay with in the area, your best bet is to contact the campus housing director, who can help match your needs with what’s available at any given time.

Four. Transportation around campus and the city.

The University of Oregon isn’t closed to traffic like many universities are these days, but sometimes it can be hard to find a parking space. Students can request parking stickers, but the parking areas fill up quickly as they operate on a first-come, first-serve basis. If possible, students are encouraged to use alternative means of transportation, such as bicycles or the public transportation system that has bus stops at most corners in the campus area.

The public transportation system is far reaching, even going to several nearby cities, so traveling around the area is quite easy. Students can purchase tokens at a discounted price, and a printed schedule is available so riders can plan ahead for bus arrival and departure times, transfers, and routes that may not run after certain hours at night. or on holidays.

5. Sports

Autzen Stadium, the University’s soccer facility, has been recognized as one of the top ten in the United States and construction has recently broken ground on a new multi-million dollar basketball facility. The University of Oregon Track and Field program is known not only throughout the United States, but throughout the world.

Noted athletes like Olympian running back Steve Prefontaine, NFL stars Joey Harrington, Alkili Smith, and Dan Fouts, track star Alberto Salazar, and many, many more have been students at the University of Oregon. Nike CEO Phil Knight has been and continues to be very active in promoting and contributing to the athletic program at the University of Oregon.

The University of Oregon does not focus on any one particular sport, but offers fifteen different sports programs for men and women. Unlike many other universities, the University of Oregon sports program is not only self-supporting, but contributes approximately $5 million a year to academic programs in other areas of the University.

6. churches

Eugene, where the University of Oregon is located, has many churches to choose from, as well as two Bible colleges within walking distance. In fact, North West Christian University is right next to the University of Oregon, so it would be easy to enroll in classes at both schools at the same time. Eugene Bible College, affiliated with Bible Standard Churches, is a short drive from downtown.

There are even more good reasons to choose the University of Oregon as the perfect place to continue your post-high school education, but the ones provided above should be enough to convince you to take a second, and maybe even a third look. . Below is a link to the University of Oregon website so you can study their programs in more depth and determine if it really is the best fit for you.

About 37 years ago, coincidentally my year of birth; Nigeria’s economic situation was not competing with the US dollar but with the UK sterling buying it at N2 at £1. Nigeria is a blessed country and also beset by countless hydra head problems. In the past, when 65k was exchanged for a dollar, there was no such thing as brain drain, human trafficking and whatever. In those days, do you know that the UAE government came to Nigeria for a loan from Nigeria? I don’t need to write about Malaysia who came to Nigeria, I consulted some of our best brains and even exported our own brand of palm trees from the nursery to improve their agricultural sector. I don’t need to tell you today how strong that economy is today. Thousands of our children flock to your embassy to go to school or to trade for greener pastures. In the cause of doing that, we have lost something due to unnatural causes. Nigeria, a nation destined for greatness, still drags along on all fours. I’ll tell you why later. Where was America in the early 70s on the lips of little children? We didn’t know about the United States, we only knew a lot about London, England, and the United Kingdom as records of achievement and destinations for young dreamers. Why? Because our economy was stable. So stable that we didn’t need a visa application to go somewhere like the United States to be mistreated to the point of being deported or questioned about the system of government we practice today. In 1980, two years into the Second Republic under President Shehu Shagari, the Nigerian naira enjoyed the height of its glory pegged at 55k for one dollar.

Since then, like the proverbial cripple who, before the praise and applause that he received for an excellent execution of the dance, threw away the pole that supported him in the dance. By throwing the stick, he consequently also lost the dance. Nigeria got so excited about a prosperous second republic that it threw down the stick of prudence, the stick of the fear of God (a stock phrase of the late Sir Ahmadu Bello, Sardauna of Sokoto, “Basu da tsoron Allah?”). Our leadership also threw down overboard the stick of Accountability. From that moment on, the naira grew a tooth. Which led to Buhari-Idiagbon’s coup with then Brigadier Sani Abacha, while the announcement of the coup emphasized the manic state of wastefulness of the ousted or ousted leadership of the Second Republic. In 1981 61k were exchanged for one dollar. 6k increase in the purchasing power of the currency to buy one dollar. In 1982 67k bought a dollar. In 1983 the naira fell again, buying the dollar at 72 kobo. About the re-entry of the military, thinking that the country has come to the chicken coop. In 1984 around 76 kobo were exchanged for one dollar. In 1986, the naira plummeted to N2.02kobo and was exchanged for one dollar. For this, IBB (General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, first military president in Nigeria) gave four reasons for that I think:

1. A decrease in our national production continues to increase.

2. Dependence on imports of both consumer goods and raw materials for our industries.

3. A grossly unequal gap between rich and poor.

4. The great role that the public sector plays in economic activity with hardly any concrete results that justify such a role.

I believe that to this day we are still trying to confront these four “BBI Facts”. But when he stepped aside, he let the naira beg to go up to N22.33kobo in 1993, no thanks to him and his economic advisers. Could it be the reason why he wants to come back? Still confronting his IBB Four Realities. In 1994, Abacha raised it to N21.89 kobo and kept it at N21.89 kobo until his death; thanks to teacher Aluko, his economic adviser (not for Abacha’s death, but for contributing immensely to the economy). For five good years the naira was stubbornly pegged at N21.89kobo with all the sanctions and bans in Nigeria left right and center; however, the naira survived at N21.89kobo Gen. Abdulsalam left it to Gen. Obasanjo in a crazy shot of N85.98kobo. By the end of OBJ’s first term, the Naira had arrived and was roaming between N127-130 Naira in exchange for one dollar. With all the wonderful trips and money spent on Esther’s Coat, oh I mean stacode, the naira flew high not like an eagle but against all the winning formulas that will strengthen it. On his second entry, the naira suffered another blow, exchanging for the dollar between N132-136. But in 2005, the government gave the naira a slight increase between N128.50kobo-131.80kobo. Quoting IBB August 27, 1985 “Today’s events indicate that most of the reasons for the military takeover of the government from civilians still persist.” I too, after 25 years of that speech, can see that the problems still persist. The almighty legislative houses (both upper and lower) must ask Prof. Aluko, what magic did he do to fix the naira @N21.89kobo for five good consecutive years?

You might want to ask, why ask Aluko? Because he was Abacha’s economic adviser. Don’t you think he’ll do better in a democracy if given the chance rather than under pressure? I cannot answer my question for the reader. You have your own opinion. It is in the constitution. Today you and I know that the naira is floating between N150-155. No one could take it like Aluko. I’m probably praising it too much here, but then tell me what others did because I don’t know. No, I mean I just don’t know. No man, they say, has a monopoly on knowledge. The man who couldn’t travel (Abacha) set the naira at N21.89 and those who dined and drank with kings and queens and paid courtesy visits around the world (Globe-Trotting everywhere) this coded, shook hands with people very successful and powerful. leaders from all over the world, they came back the same and left the office, I mean the worst naira they ever met. Before Aluko goes to the afterlife and maybe meets his boss and tells her that “they can’t keep the naira, even for ‘four years'”. I am not praising Abacha’s belated and almost despotic military style, I note Prof. Honest and humble recognition of Aluko’s ability to meet his late boss. If you let this man die, I think they’ll both throw a party and tell the world of the dead that “the living can’t keep the naira, but we did for five good years.” A word is enough for the wise.

Pig farming is one of the most lucrative business ventures. Those who have dedicated themselves to this activity have reaped good profits. Pigs can be raised as a small business to provide food and nutrition for the family, or expanded to become a commercial enterprise for profit. Pig farming is relatively simple compared to other forms of farming.

feeds

You can feed pigs almost anything. Most people just let their pigs roam urban areas looking for scraps. However, this is illegal and is not the most effective way to raise pigs. You can feed pigs kitchen scraps from home, restaurants, and hotels. You can also get commercial feeds to help speed growth and maturation.

market

There is no shortage of market for hogs in the country. The best time to sell the pigs is during the high tourist season because the demand is very high. There are also many local butcher shops, especially around Nairobi, who buy pigs for slaughter. Farmers Choice, the largest player in the market with a 70% market share, can make an agreement with you to supply them with pigs for slaughter, provided your pigs meet the required quality.

Profit

You can buy young piglets in Ksh. 3,000 and take up to six months to mature, after which you can sell them for prices starting at Ksh. 25,000 to Ksh. 40,000. As you can see it is quite profitable. The amount of inputs required is low and manageable. Pig farming is a good business venture if you want to recoup your investments in a short period.

products

Some of the products that come from hog farming include pork, ham, bacon, sausages, pies, rolls, cuts, suet, and lard. Pig manure is also used as a fertilizer. With such a diversified product range, it is not difficult to find a market for pigs.

potential challenges

One of the challenges a new pig farmer might face is sourcing the right commercial feeds. You can do some research on this field at the Farmers Choice show farm, the Internet, and other farmers. For others, the main challenge is religious and cultural obstacles. Some religions and cultures prohibit the consumption of pork and other pork products because pigs are unclean animals. However, pigs are not as dirty as people think they are. If raised properly, pigs can be as clean as any other livestock.

Business generally falls into two main strands: corporate/professional clients and occasional clients, with most rental companies specializing in one or both.

Corporate clients cover a wide range of companies that use these services to transport their executives and clients. Much of this service includes transportation from the airport to the hotel, as well as the transfer of clients to restaurants, theaters and other places of entertainment. Corporate clients can be, at times, more demanding than the standard client. These people expect fast and reliable service, particularly when the need arises suddenly.

Keeping customers satisfied ensures a successful limo rental business.

If you want to invest in this type of business, you have to do everything you can to make your customers happy and satisfied. Be prepared to do a lot of cold selling to capture these lucrative accounts, which include corporations, law firms, investment firms, and banks.

His publicity should focus on his ability and desire to make any type of event feel special and memorable.

As with any type of business, you need to do a lot of research before you start trading. It is good to understand your competition, your target market and the specific area in which you want to operate. You also need to be creative in determining how you are going to make your service unique, different, or better than the competition.

Once you’re up and running, you need to make sure you can facilitate inquiries, handle different sales accounts, provide professional service, and provide information to your prospects 24/7. Your customers also need to get effective answers to their inquiries and order at their convenience, without having to wait in line at the site or on the phone. You can also build and improve customer relationships by keeping in touch with them via email or by opening an online website.

SAN stands for Senior Lawyer of Nigeria. It is a rank awarded to a Nigerian lawyer as a mark of professional distinction in the practice of law. It is the peak that any practicing lawyer can reach in Nigeria. The SANship award began in 1975. But before that date, Nigeria had adopted the British equivalent called Queen’s Counsel. Chief FRA Williams and Chief HO Davies were the first two Nigerians to be Queen’s Counsel in 1958. In 1964 the rank was abolished in Nigeria and had no replacement until 1975.

So, there was no classification system for Nigerian lawyers between 1964 and 1975. In fact, all lawyers were the same then. But on April 3, 1975, Chief FRA Williams and Dr. Nabo Graham-Douglas became the first two to be appointed. This marked the beginning of a new stage in the history of the legal profession in the country. Nigeria now has more than 60,000 lawyers, but so far only 349 of them have been appointed Chief Lawyers of Nigeria.

How to become a Senior Advocate for Nigeria is governed by a set of guidelines. It is the guidelines that indicate who becomes a SAN. So what are these guidelines?

Guidelines to be designated for SAN

There is a committee established by law to ensure that the guidelines are strictly followed. The Committee on the Privileges of Legal Professionals is the committee in question. The SANship Award is an annual event. It is the responsibility of any attorney interested in the rank to apply to the Committee. The guidelines that the Committee will consider to determine who deserves or not the award are the following:

1. The applicant must be a Nigerian citizen.

2. You must have been practicing in Nigeria for 10 years before you can apply.

3. Must be fully practicing law.

4. Must have distinguished himself as a lawyer.

5. Must be a man of good character.

6. Must have made a significant contribution to the development of the legal profession in Nigeria.

7. At the time of getting the application form, you have to pay a non-refundable sum of N200,000. This amount may be reviewed at any time by the Committee.

8. You must submit to the Committee a list of at least 10 high court judges before whom you have appeared in important controversial cases. The Committee can select any 3 of them to give a detailed confidential reference of the applicant.

9. You must also submit a list of co-counsels with whom you have tried cases. Three of them may be selected by the Committee to give a confidential reference of the applicant.

10. You must present the data of the contested cases that you processed personally, in this order:

• 8 judgments of the High Court,
• 6 judgments of the Court of Appeal,
• 3 judgments of the Supreme Court.

11. You must have been paying your practice fees steadily and due membership to your local branch of the Nigerian Bar Association in the last 10 years prior to application.

12. You must submit proof of payment of income tax for the 3 years prior to the application.

13. The Committee has a duty to conduct a physical inspection of the applicant’s cameras to assess the following:

• the size and quality of the library,
• space and other facilities available,
• number and quality of support staff,
• maintenance of proper accounting books,
• number of junior lawyers that must not be less than 5.

When an applicant is an academic, they must provide the Committee with 20 copies of their published work in addition to some of the pertinent considerations above.

The Nigerian Top Lawyer award is primarily for advocates. The extension of the award to legal professionals who do not attend court, such as academics, is the only exception.

Functions and Benefits of being a SAN

Being a SAN brings the following benefits:

1. Order of Precedence: A senior lawyer from Nigeria sits at the inside bar occupying the first row of seats available to legal professionals in court. This also extends to a SAN’s right to mention her case before other lawyers regardless of her professional qualification age.

2. Court Appearance – A SAN must always appear in court with a junior attorney. However, appearing with a junior attorney may be waived when the matter is criminal.

3. The Appeal: The dress of a SAN is different from that of other lawyers. She wears a more stylish dress and is made of silk materials, which makes the appearance more elegant as well. The SAN are also called “the silk” because of the clothing materials they use.

4. Professional Fees – A SAN also enjoys the privilege of charging higher fees than other attorneys might charge.

Above all the benefits of being a SAN, the sense of psychological fulfillment that comes from reaching the pinnacle of one’s profession is incomparable. This explains why the contest for rank is always intense and bitter. Year after year, hundreds if not thousands of legal professionals apply, but only a handful are chosen.

When a person, whether a foodie or simply someone who appreciates good, well-prepared food, thinks of delicious and innovative food, the name of Fannie Merritt Farmer comes to mind. Her story is one of determination to teach the public that one does not have to be a professional chef to live an ideal life in the kitchen and at home.

Bostonian Fannie Merritt Farmer (b. March 23, 1857) was the eldest of four daughters born to a strong Unitarian family headed by John Franklin Merritt and Mary Ann Watson. Her parents strongly believed in a good education for her daughters and it was a given that each of them would finish college. Unfortunately for her, Fannie, while still in high school, suffered a paralytic stroke in her left leg, possibly as a result of polio. Treated as an invalid for several years, she was not allowed to return to school.

Not wanting to spend her remaining years languishing in bed, 30-year-old Farmer hired herself as a help-mother to a prominent family friend, Mrs. Carlos Shaw. Ms. Shaw urged Fannie to enroll in classes at the Boston Cooking School to become a professional cooking instructor. Founded in 1879 by the Boston Women’s Education Association, the school emphasized a more intellectual and structured approach to food preparation and attention to diet, and over time, women gained elevated status not only as cooks, but as educated cooks. health instructors and authorities, both for the normally healthy but also for the chronically ill in its post-Civil War school form founded by philanthropists and reformers. Working-class women were given the opportunity to enter the professional workforce when the job market for women was less than optimal. With an emphasis on science and household skills, the Boston Cooking-School quietly encouraged upper-class women to learn a “respectable” means of supporting themselves in the event of a change of fortune or the death of a husband. Mrs. Mary Johnson Lincoln, following the collapse of her husband’s finances, was one such woman. Becoming a renowned cooking teacher and author of the original edition of the Boston Culinary School Cookbook, she was an inspiration to Fannie Farmer. Farmer completed the school’s 2-year program in 1889, rising to assistant principal and then principal in 1891.

Fannie Farmer’s first cookbook, a revised version of Mrs. Lincoln’s The Boston Cooking-School Cookbook, was published in 1896 and is still in print today. It was based on Mrs. Lincoln’s school recipes, giving Lincoln no credit for them. The Farmer’s Edition was concise and simple, with a comprehensive scope. Its selling point was in how well it blended food science with enticing recipes. The farmer’s book formed a systematic description of the kitchen. The Boston Cooking-School Cookbook undoubtedly left Fannie Farmer a woman of generous means. Because the publisher was wary of taking on a commercial venture designed by a woman, they insisted that she pay all the initial printing costs. Because of this one-sided attitude, Farmer ended up withholding the royalties and profits and was in the position, if she so wished, to make some men very uncomfortable by doubting her business acumen. .

In 1902, Farmer left her position so that she could open Miss Farmer’s Cookery School. Here she placed greater emphasis on teaching the housewives and midwives of society. Her new goal was to focus on healthy diets for the sick and the chronically ill or disabled. Farmer was involved in training hospital dietitians and nurses, as well as regularly lecturing at Harvard Medical School. Farmer also published, in 1904, what she considered her magnus corpus: Food and Cooking for the Sick and Convalescent. The topics he tackled here ranged from breastfeeding babies to drinking alcohol to practically a treatise on diabetes, all the while cajoling his readers into making cute food presentations for the sick: Serve a bread-and-butter sandwich at heart shape on a delicate plate instead of carelessly tossing a piece of bread and a ball of butter. She felt that the aesthetics helped the patient to have a faster recovery.

During the remaining years of his life, Farmer continued to lecture across the country. Towards the end, she suffered two more strokes and was forced back into her wheelchair. She read until ten days before she died (January 15, 1915). Her school continued to flourish under the direction of Alice Bradley until it closed in 1944.

If for nothing else, Fannie Merritt Farmer was revered by millions for her innovations in the way a recipe was written. She standardized the size of the measurements so that a cup was always a cup, no matter what substance was being measured. This brought much more precision so that in theory the recipe could be doubled each and every time without all the guesswork to be expected – that little element of surprise! Her successes led the public to call her the “mother of level measurements” or “the pioneer of the modern recipe”.

NEXT TAKE: Lizzie Black Kander created the famous cookbook that has been used for the past 100 years by all strata of American society. Originally written to teach recently arrived immigrants how to fit in properly in turn-of-the-century (20) Milwaukee, these young women learned to do everything in the home, from baking to cleaning, in a manner equal to that of well-assimilated. resident. From this book came the famous Milwaukee Settlement House and its even more renowned cookbook.

What to do when the unexpected happens

A slip and fall at the grocery store, a car accident, a motorcycle or bicycle accident, or even a wrongful death claim can happen when we least expect it. After an accident, how do you know when it’s appropriate to seek out a personal injury lawyer? Making an informed decision is the answer. After you’ve taken the time to contemplate a few thought-provoking questions, you’ll have clarity on whether or not you should seek out a qualified personal injury attorney.

How serious is your injury?

Not all accidents may seem serious enough to involve a personal injury lawyer. It’s important to understand that even if an accident seems minor at the time, pain related to that injury can occur much later, sometimes even years later. It is best to be seen and examined by a doctor after an accident. If the following has occurred or is scheduled to occur, you should have your case evaluated by a professional injury attorney:

• Ambulance
• Hospitalization
• Surgery
• Physical therapy
• Orthopedics
• Chiropractor
• Cosmetic surgery
• Rehabilitation

The value of your claim can increase significantly when you have professional legal representation for any injury you have suffered.

Who had the fault?

It is very important to consult an attorney quickly after an accident, especially if you believe your injury was caused by the negligence of a third party. The details and accuracy of a case can best be remembered and recorded soon after the event. Proving legal fault involves applying certain standards to proof that will be held in higher regard if the facts are collected sooner rather than later. In order to have a strong case, contacting a personal injury lawyer in a timely manner is key to a positive outcome.

Have you been contacted by an insurance company?

If a claims adjuster from an insurance company contacts you and starts asking for details about your injury, be careful what you say. If they ask about recorded statements, medical records, your account of the accident, releases, and other personal information, you should stop them by telling them you are contacting legal counsel. Insurance adjusters try to get you to make statements that are detrimental to your claim in order to reduce your losses. One of the tactics they sometimes use to minimize the amount they pay is to claim that your injury was pre-existing. Be sure to speak with an experienced personal injury attorney before speaking with a claims adjuster and they can offer guidance on how to handle your conversation.

Does the insurance company refuse to pay you?

Plain and simple, insurance companies sometimes use deceptive tactics to try to avoid paying claims. Some of the ways they try to rig a case may include unreasonably delaying the claim process, refusing to pay even if liability is not in dispute, or making offers that are unreasonably low despite the level of the injury. A personal injury lawyer can hold insurance companies that use bad faith tactics legally accountable for doing so. An experienced attorney will interact with the insurer on their behalf and can usually resolve claims quickly and without going to court.

The difficulties of handling your own claim.

If you decide to handle your own case, you will need to do your legal homework and have a solid understanding of injury claims, as well as the settlement process. Negotiating with insurance companies and claims adjusters may involve knowledge of both the law and case law. Some injury cases are very complicated and you may need the help of an expert to discover the evidence required to optimize your claim. You may need to prove an accident through some form of reconstruction, eyewitness investigation and recording, deciphering medical records, understanding physics, negotiating non-economic losses such as pain and suffering, and more.

If you are not comfortable doing these things, it is advisable to consult with a personal injury attorney. An experienced attorney can negotiate a much larger recovery for both your non-economic and more tangible losses.
