Mango Poem
Harvest Abroad
We wander from market to market
For the whole of one day
The sweet resin smell
Hanging heavy with May
The season is upon us
When shops come alive
And villagers and tourists
Collectively arrive
So we push through the people
Papa holding my hand
And furrowing his brow
Wandering from stand to stand
Picking up one mango
Putting it down
Sniffing at this one
Then turning it round
Then he places it back
In the barrel and sighs
While an impatient shopkeeper
Gives us the eyes
Since coming from India
To the Bahamas for work
My father has developed
A permanent smirk
For when comes the season
That mangoes grow ripe
We go search for Alphonsos
But find only a gripe
"Too popular," they say
"Not enough around."
"Nonsense," says my father
"They can be found."
My brothers would laugh
Father was a fool
They'd settle for Dasheri
They's eat the Chausa too
But not these for father
"Alphonsos are best."
He'd often explained
Pounding his chest
I being younger
And adventurous as well
Would follow my father
Wherever they'd sell
But even the Alphonso
He always explained
Was not the same thing
His expression was pained
The taste is just different
It just isn't as good
There was only one mango
That our family should
Let into its home
Adorn its from door
Slice into chutney
Or panna to pour
It was late afternoon
Almost dinner hour
We'd left the market dejected
When my father smelled the flower
It tickled his nose
Wafted through the breeze
We wandered round a corner
To a grove of hidden trees
Fathered round the trunk
Freshly fallen down
Plump, pristine Alphonsos
Littered all the ground
My father's eye's alight
He sliced the layer of skin
Then bit in with his eyes closed
And felt he was back home with his kin.
Hicklin, a Victorian-era case in which the British court suppressed a lewd pamphlet as a way to protect 'those whose minds are open to such immoral influences and into whose hands a publication of this sort may fall'" (p. 45). Conclusion The research showed that there has been increasing attention paid to what is considered legally obscene over the past century and a half, and many of the same factors that
Contracts The author of this response is asked to answer to three high-level scenarios, with a few sub-scenarios and questions thrown in. The first one regards a "fine dining" restaurant, the second speaks of distant deal making and the third refers to cover charges and any associated gratuity provisions. These questions will be addressed one at a time. The first question pertains to a restaurant where the nascent stages of the dinner
Wendy Wanderer Most states have an 'attractive nuisance' clause, which stipulates that homeowners must ensure that their property does not contain 'attractive nuisances' that can encourage children to engage in dangerous behaviors. But an attractive nuisance is usually thought to be a swimming pool that is not fenced in vs. general rubbish. Prior to 2001 Ohio, Vermont, and Maryland were the only states without some version of the "attractive nuisance" doctrine"
Ergonomics Minimum standards for private sector pension plans and health care plans were established under ERISA, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

The assumption here is that counselor burnout may be heightened as a result of the diversity of students who attend post secondary educational institutions, and the variety of services the 2-year postsecondary counselors must provide to these students. This assumption is congruent with the findings of a study by Wilkerson and Bellini (2006) who advise, "Professional school counselors are asked to perform multiple duties as part of their daily
