Answer:
The Bailey family has flourished during its business’ 110-year history. But Bailey Nurseries’ leaders still operate with the belief that the family doesn’t always know best. The company has grown from a one-man operation selling fruit trees and ornamental shrubs to one of the largest wholesale nurseries in the United States, thanks to insights from those who are family and those who aren’t.
“For a business to thrive, you have to ask for outside help,” says Terri McEnaney, president of the Newport-based company and a fourth-generation family member. “We get an outside perspective through family business programs, advisors and our board, because you can get a bit ingrained in your own way of thinking.”
When Bailey Nurseries chose its current leader in 2000, it brought in a facilitator who gathered insights from key employees, board members and owners. Third-generation leaders (and brothers) Gordie and Rod Bailey picked Rod’s daughter McEnaney, who had experience both inside and outside the company.

Answer:
Coiled tubing is often used to carry out operations similar to wire lining.
Answer:
a) 50 mm
b) 808.24 MN/m
Explanation:
Given:
Thickness of each steel plate = 15mm
a) To find suitable length of bolt, we'll use:
Length of bolt = grip length + height of nut
To find the grip length since there is a washer, we'll use:
Grip length = plate thickness + washer thickness
Since we have 2 plates of 15mm thickness,
Plate thickness = 15 + 15 = 30mm
Using the table, a metric plain washer has a thickness of 3.5mm
Grip length = 30 + 3.5 =33.5 mm
Height of nut: Using table A-31, height of hexagonal nut is 12.8 mm
Therefore,
Length of bolt = 33.5 + 12.8 = 46.3
Rounde up to the nearest 5mm, we'll get 50mm
Length of bolt = 50mm
b) Bolt stiffness:
Threaded length for L ≤ 125mm
LT = 2*d + 6
Where d = 14mm, from table(8-7)
= 2*14 + 6
= 34 mm
Area of unthreaded portion:
Ad= 
Length of unthreaded portion in grip:
Ld = 50 - 34 = 16mm
Length of threaded portion in grip:
Lt = 33.5 - 16 = 17.5mm
Bolt stiffness = 
Bolt stiffness = 808.24 MN/m
Taking care of" is a very human term in the sense of care giving, but so is "parents", because animals do not retain family structures in the form humans do. The vast majority of animals do not recognize family members. Among predators, an aging parent, such as the male lion in a pride, would continue to be taken care of by the females just as they always were, until a stronger outside male ousted it. An aging silverback in a group of gorillas would eventually be challenged and overthrown by one of his sons. When the elder became too infirm to care for itself, it would go off by itself to die. The only animal species that modify their behavior due to familial bonds to accommodate the needs of an aging member of the family are Cetaceans (whales) and Pachyderms (elephants). Whales have been seen to bouy up an ailing member of the pod (an extended family) to keep it from sinking. Elephants have the closest family ties of all animals, the eldest surviving female, the Matriarch of a herd, might be the great, great, great grandmother to the youngest and the others in varying relationships, are mothers, grandmothers, children, sisters, aunts and cousins, the older always taking care of and sheltering the younger. They also shelter and accommodate the older. If one member is sick or too old to keep up, the rest of the herd will slow down to allow the lagging one to keep up. This "caring" behavior has its limitations. The herd will not endanger itself to stay with an ailing member who will never be able to keep up. However, when the Matriarch herself is dying of old age, and the herd is in an area where food and water are abundant, the rest of the herd will stay with her, comfort her with their trunks, caressing her, talking to her, vocalizing over her, never leaving her side. While some are foraging, there will always be a group around her comforting her and expressing their love. (Scientists used to dismiss that term as inapplicable to animals, but the evidence is overwhelming that higher animal species have the same emotions humans do.) The herd will remain with her body, mourning, for several days, and years later will still return to fondle her bones with their trunks. Eventually one of the Matriarch's daughters will be chosen as the one to follow, or even two in which case the herd would divide into two new herds, the daughters and their offspring of each new Matriarch following their own family line.
