When a group Olympic Valley, California residents decided to start a petition to incorporate the community, property owners and local businesspersons immediately began debating the issue. Those in favor of incorporation wanted to make Olympic Valley into a town, so the community could govern itself by electing a town council. Those against incorporation claimed that the town wouldn't be able to afford to maintain services, such as snow plowing, that were essential to the community. Proponents of Olympic Valley's incorporation spend thousands of dollars to back the proposal, while opponents spent even more money to oppose the petition. An article published through the Reno-Gazette Journal, which summarized the debate, noted that Andy Wirth,
Raven’s Head Ranch was a gated community in Illinois that was self-governed by volunteers who made up all of the committees that made the decisions for the community. This specific case was brought about when a select few proposed a fire department for the town. Over the course of about two years, members of certain committees utilized their membership or leadership in other committees to achieve their wants for the community fire department. Internal controls of the community of Raven Head Ranch are brought into question if there was a legit system or if it was utilized to its potential.
Alpine Village Clinic is located in a winter resort near the city of Aspen, Colorado. Although open year around, it is mostly a seasonal business since the bulk of patients seen at the clinic walk in during the winter months of December to March, when skiing is in full swing and pertaining injuries are common. The doctors thought about closing the clinic during the summer months, however running the clinic for a portion of the year is inefficient, and in addition, there seems to be a sufficient summer demand for the clinic’s services. The two doctors who run the clinic are Dr. James Peterson, who is an orthopedist and Dr. Amanda Cook, who is an internist. Dr. Cook usually handles all the financial work for the clinic (besides payroll which is taken care of by an outside accountant). However, the clinic hired a part-time MBA student named Doug Washington. In October of 2009, the clinic’s primary lender, the First Bank of Aspen requested from the clinic an estimate of its borrowing requirements for the first half of 2010. For that, Dr. Cook asked Doug to come up with an estimate of the clinic’s line of credit, as well as prepare a cash budget.
The topic the essay is mainly talking about is whether to initiate the San Joaquin River Project. I am with Bill McEwen on his article, “River Plan Too Fishy for my Taste Buds.” I chose this author because I do not think the government should spend more money on the river rights project. The author convinced me that he is more credible and can be trusted by all the experience he has. The article was published in Fresno Bee on March 26,2009 and is surrounded by farms so the people there know what will happen if big businesses were to start a project. McEwen demonstrates how this project will impact the city in a negative way by stating ethos, logos, and pathos.
Footlocker’s marketing plan entails selecting the target market, integrating the best marketing tactic to reach as many customers as possible, and customer retention initiatives. Essentially, this customer-driven marketing blueprint is classified as the marketing concept, which does not rely heavily on promotions to procure sales. Instead, the company learns to pinpoint what the customer wants before he or she does, to accommodate existing and future needs. Moreover, within the past five years, a new store entitled House of Hoops has made its debut in the same mall as Footlocker, which has caused the veteran shoe store to experience a decline in sales. This suggests that Footlocker may need to modify its sales strategy to help the company attract more customers to the store. “House of Hoops has a variety of shoes, and a large store front,” stated the interviewee, “customers are drawn to the store because it is new and possesses a
After settlements were established, farmers opposed the government. The farmers united to form their opposing union that would lead their opposing movement and solve their common problems that they had with economic distress and railroads. The grange and farmers´ alliances surged with the quest to get the government to support them. The rise of the populist party caused a scare and panic to other government groups, but it didn´t last, the populist party collapsed.
Kevin Adam’s is the successful owner of the Sierra Vista Culvers. Under the lead of Mr. Adams Culvers has flourished and had received, the restaurant chains Newcomer Award. I asked Kevin Adam’s about how he went through with selecting and investigating before deciding to go through with the purchase.

Also, he met with Culver’s owner at the time and he too was evaluating Mr. Adams and his eligibility,

The Olympic Peninsula is in the upper northeast corner of Washington State. The Pacific Ocean, Strait of Juan de Fuca and Hood Canal border the extensive forests, mountains, and beaches that contributes to a pristine environment. Right in the center of the Olympic Peninsula is the Olympic National Park. President Franklin Roosevelt designated this area the Olympic National Park in 1938 after he acknowledged the need to preserve such unspoiled land. Unfortunately he made an effort far too late because settlers and entrepreneurs with industrialist ideologies made their mark on the untouched land in 1910.

Arnold & Porter chose to sue Pittston rather than the Buffalo Mining Company because the value of the corporation allowed for adequate compensation to the victims. Author and head lawyer for the plaintiffs, Gerald M. Stern, writes that the original goal was sue to sue for $21 million for the disaster to have a material effect on the cooperation (51). To avoid responsibility Pittston attempted to prove that the Buffalo Mining Company was an independent corporation with its own board of directors. The lawyers for the plaintiffs disproved this claim by arguing the Buffalo Mining Company never held formal meetings of the board of directors and was not independent of the parent company. During this case Pittston’s Oil division had applied to build an oil refinery in Maine. The ...
Honestly, I was shocked by the story, but at the same time, I don’t know why I was shocked. The first detail that surprised me was how she described Swat. In the memoir, Malala describes Swat as the most beautiful place in the entire world. “My valley, the Swat Valley, is a heavenly kingdom of mountains, gushing waterfalls, and crystal-clear lakes…we have fields of wildflowers, orchards of delicious fruit, emerald mines and rivers full of trout.” (Yousafzai 15,16) I’ve always had this image in my head that the Middle East was this colossal wasteland and the fact that there are enthralling places with beautiful families shocked me. Although, I don’t know why I imagined it that way. I don’t know why I was shocked.

One day when I was thirteen, I was at my sister’s apartment in June. I had just woken up at 7:30am, and the kids were still sleeping. That day was the first day I took care of my nephew Adrian, and my nieces Sophia and Penelope. They were still sleeping, so I let them sleep. I sat there wondering how bad they would be when they woke up. When they did wake up it wasn’t as bad as I thought, but they did wake up hungry.
Since the first Olympic Games in 1896 winning the Olympics meant more than just a medal, it showed the power that the winning country possesses. Although the Olympics are meant to show peaceful amiability between all counties, geopolitics is still a factor in the Olympics. The International Olympic Committee President states “sport can only contribute to development and peace if it’s not used as a stage for political contest, have the courage to address your disagreements in a peaceful direct political dialogue and not on the backs of athletes.” Many historians ask if geopolitics was a factor in the Olympics during the Cold War era. The answer isn’t an opinion; geopolitics has never been absent in the Olympics and that is especially true for the Cold War. The Cold War was a battle for political power that will dominates the rest of the world. The idea that this was a battle for power explains the arms race, Korean War, Vietnam War and the Soviet Union’s invasion of Afghanistan. Logically, this need to upstage the opposing super power leaked into international sports competition. With all this competition whirling around during the Cold War, the Olympics became a literal race against communism or democracy. As geopolitics played such a major role in the Olympics during the Cold War era, athletes’ fates were ultimately altered.
