...Mary signs a contract with Froogle to advertise on their website. Mary resides and has a business in Vermont. She has not visited California or did business there. She has only had business with Froogle online and phone calls. Froogle claims Mary has breached her contract and has filed suit in Califonia. Does California have jurisdiction over Mary? In the case, Bridgestone Corp. v. Superior Court, 99 Cal. App. 4th 767 (Cal. App. 2d Dist. 2002) a non resident that conducts substantial business in another state, then that said state would have jurisdiction. However, based on the information provided we can not confirm that Mary did any substantial business in California. We can only conclude she signed a contract with Froogle to advertise on their search engine. Also, in Burger King Corp. v Rudzewicz, 471 U.S. 462, 471 (1985), states that even though a contract may have been signed and tied to another state, it needs to have substantial ties to that state. We have information provided to us stating that Mary never visited California. So, the likely conclusion is that the contract was not signed in the state of California. We also can not confirm if Mary reached out to Froogle to advertise or if Froogle approached her. In conclusion, I do not believe California has jurisdiction over Mary based on the information presented. I do not believe she conducted substantial business in California or have strong ties to the state. I believe that Froogle will have to file within the state...

...deficit experienced through the duration of the current drought are not unique by paleoclimate records. Instead, it is stated that temprature could have exacerbated the 2014 drought by 36%, making the particulay arid year a consequence of both water deficit and the unprecedtented high tempratures. It is clear from the points raised, that the drought currenly being faced, is to an extent, caused by the unusual climatic combination of below average precipitation and higher than average temratures. In response, Governor Jerry Brown has said “we are in a new era”, with drought being a feature that will continue into Califonrias future. Anthorpogenic climatic changes are already influening the frequency, magnitude and duration of drought in Califonia, with human caused global warming having intensified the Californian drought by 15-20% (Gillis, 2015). However, climate change is said not to be the sole cause of the drought, global warming (as a result of climate change) has made it worse, but is not the only cause of lack of precipitation. (Mann & Gleick, 2015) (Seager, et al., 2014). Aside from climate change, Lustgarten, et al. (2015) argues that, ‘use it or lose it’ laws encourage farmers to rather than to conserve water, wate it as If they don’t use their annual quota, they will lose it the following year. Wasteage, espically by agriculture, is a major component of human excessive use and demand that worsens the Californian drought crisis. The article continues to state that certain...

...Introduction Background of the study Every business big or small has a strategy and structure. Some are formally formulated through a thorough planning and some just develop informally overtime as the business continue to grow and adapt to the business environment they`re in. However, no matter how these two evolves, it is important for a firm`s strategy and structure to always fully support each other. A business strategy refers to its plan for the whole organization that commences how it will use its major resources to achieve its goals. Business structures on the other hand, refers to the way the pieces of the business fits together such as its management operations and product distributions. (Hill, 2012) Uggs Australia is part of the portfolio of brands acquired by Deckers Outdoor Corporation which is an American company. Deckers acquired the Ugg brand in 1995 from its founder Brian Smith and repositioned the brand as a luxury brand sold through expensive shops in the US. Uggs primary product is their classic sheepskin boots but as the company grows they have diversified to produce and sell others including a variety of footwear, clothing, bags and outerwear.

...beneficiaries. Since 2012, when there were only 220 ACOs, the stats have only risen. The participants in ACOs today have also risen in recent years and vary widely. For example, the breakdown of participants in ACOs for the 2018 year are as follows: 377,515 physicians, PAs, NPs, CNSs, 1,517 hospitals, 2,560 Federally Qualified Health Centers, 1,210 Rural Health Centers, and 421 Critical Access Hospitals (“Medicare Shared Savings Program Fast Facts Sheet”). Physicians only make up approximately 30% of ACO composition while physicians, hospitals, and other facilities make up 58%. An additional, noteworthy characteristic of the status of ACOs in the US today is their geographic distribution of beneficiaries. The most populous states include southern Califonia, Florida, New Jersey, Connecticut and Maryland all with more than 10,000+ beneficiaries per county (“Medicare Shared Savings Program Fast Facts Sheet”). There are currently 51 ACOs that participate in the Next Generation ACO Model. This model serves as an initiative for ACOs to assume higher levels of financial risk and rewards than the current Pioneer and Shared Savings Program (MSSP). Currently, provider participation in ACOs is on a voluntary basis. The goals of the Next Generation model include to determine whether or not strong incentives for ACOs will make a significant difference in health outcomes and expenditures for original Medicaid fee-for-service beneficiaries (“Next Generation ACO Model”). The model includes “strong patient...

...Institutionalizing Electronic Payment (e-payment) Systems in Ghana |Prince Kwame Senyo | | |University of Ghana | | |kpsenyo@gmail.com | | INTRODUCTION Technological advancement has caught up with us in the developing world and there is a need to rapidly change and focus on how best we can make optimum use of this opportunity. Payment for goods and services have been simplified and expedited by the introduction of new technological innovations. Statistics from the World Payment Report (2011) indicates there is a global increase in the volume of non-cash payments transactions by 5% in 2009 to 260 billion in 2011. The payment for goods and services in Ghana is mostly cash based and characterized by long queues and delays. A study by Abor (2004) pointed out that, before the introduction of electronic payment in Ghana customers will have to go to their banks to perform all transaction and with the long queues in most of our banks, payment became a problem. Heeks (2002) described information system in developing economies like Ghana as questionable and coupled with different challenges. However,...

Họ đã gặp nhau tại một hiệu ăn trên đường Số Tám, và khám phá ra là họ có những sở thích tương đồng về nghệ thuật, rau diếp xoắn trộn dấm, và thời trang với tay áo giám mục. Thế là họ cùng thuê chung một căn phòng. Đấy là vào Tháng 5 . Vào tháng 11, có một kẻ ngoại nhập mang theo giá lạnh nhưng vô hình, mà các bác sĩ gọi là Viêm Phổi, rình rập trong “quần cư”, móng vuốt giá băng quệt vào đây đó. Tên giặc đã ngang nhiên hoành hành khu phía đông, hạ gục nhiều nạn nhân, nhưng hắn chỉ mới đặt chân chầm chậm qua các lối ngõ như bàn cờ của mấy “vùng” nhỏ hẹp phủ đầy rêu.

...Give a detailed narration unpacking how the Public Relations function has evolved over the years and the challenges that the practice faces in the developing countries. Public Relations function is as old as human civilisation. Published narrations or histories have usually telescoped and oversimplified a fascinating history by emphasising novelty and a few decorated personalities. There have been contributions in the professional literature that impart a meaningful picture of public relations function’s past and present (Cutlip, 1994). It has existed in one form or the other. There are a lot of examples of its varied form, content and end use. An ancient clay tablet, found in Iraq, told the Sumerian farmers how to grow better crops. That was over 4000 years ago. The Arabian tales relate how the celebrated Sultan Haroon-Al-Rashid used to wander about every night in disguise to see for him as to what the people really felt about his administration. However, the available literature makes us inclined to think of public relations as a 20th century phenomenon, but the desire to communicate with others and to deal with the impact of opinion dates back to ancient cultures (Wilcox and Cameron, 2003).Therefore, this paper seeks to give a detailed narration unpacking the public relations function evolution over the years and the challenges that the practice faces in the developing countries. In the Ramayana there is a character called Bhadro who used to report to Rama about...

...THE TUCK SCHOOL AT DARTMOUTH MinuteClinic Bringing Change to Healthcare Delivery Peter Albro, Bill Aull, Ryan Fitzgerald, John Goldsmith, Tom Harris, Jon Mohraz 11/14/2008 Introduction In 1999, consumers of the US healthcare industry had a myriad of frustrations to choose from when seeking medical assistance: lack of convenience, no focus on customer service, limitations from insurance providers, billing inefficiency and confusion, and very opaque pricing. One grumbler, Steve Pontius, had an epiphany during an all too common experience when seeking medical coverage for his kids. After waiting for three hours at an urgent care clinic for what he thought was an ear infection, the physician diagnosed in three minutes what Pontius had predicted. Additionally, only after the visit to the doctor had he figured out that his insurance company did not cover treatment at this particular clinic, so Pontius would have to pay hundreds of dollars out of his own pocket to pay for the visit with the doctor.1 Sensing a business opportunity, Pontius, along with Rick Krieger and Douglas Smith, partnered to start MinuteClinic, the retail medical treatment clinic that is widely regarded as the beginning of the convenient care clinic (CCC) movement. Also known as retail based clinics, these facilities are small medical operations located within a larger retail operation such as Target or CVS. They offer a limited scope of medical services and are primarily characterized by...

This has significantly contributed to negative gains in eradication of mosquito population that spread malaria hence increased cases of deaths due to the disease. With this resistance to insecticides on the rise, surveillance of the target population for optimal choice of insecticides is a necessity. The objective of this study is thus to assess the level of insecticides...

...07-042 July 25, 2007 SunPower: Focused on the Future of Solar Power Rebecca M. Henderson, Joel Conkling and Scott Roberts It was December 2006. Tom Werner, CEO of SunPower, glanced down at his watch and shook his head in dismay. His run was not going well, despite the sounds of John Lee Hooker’s “Boogie Chillen” coming through his earphones. He blamed the board meeting later that afternoon. Given SunPower’s position as the producer of the world’s most efficient solar cells, also known as photovoltaics or PV, and recent forecasts that solar power might be on the edge of explosive growth, he knew that he’d be asked some tough questions. Werner wondered how fast the solar power industry was likely to grow and how long SunPower’s advantage was likely to last. How could SunPower compete with much larger companies like Sharp and Q-Cells? Or with the niche “technology play” firms that were springing up? How could SunPower’s current advantage be turned into an enduring competitive edge? As the sun began to rise, Werner picked up the pace again, and began jogging home. Environmental Issues One of the most important drivers of the world’s renewed interest in solar power was its ability to offer energy independence in combination with significant environmental benefits. After all, the earth received more energy from the sun than humans consumed throughout an entire year. Since the burning of fossil fuels generated a number of noxious substances including SO2, NO, NO2, and particulates...
