...Compare and Contrast MLB’s Greatest of All-Time Two of the world’s greatest baseball players to have ever lived were Jackie Robinson and Babe Ruth. Both of these men established a career in the game that they both loved so much. Both players had accomplishments that will always remain a part of our history in the sport of baseball. Although both are known as baseball legends, they also offer their differences. Their differences and similarities varied amongst not only their careers but also their personal lives. Throughout this essay, I will explore their beginnings, initial inspirations, careers, and what makes them the legends that they are known as today. Jackie Robinson was born Jack Roosevelt Jackson on January 31, 1919, in Cairo, Georgia. He attended John Muir High School and Pasadena Junior College where he was an excellent athlete and played four sports. It was Jackie’s older brother who inspired him to pursue his talent and passion for athletics. Unlike Robinson, Babe Ruth was from a different part of the nation. He was born George Herman Ruth Jr. on February 6, 1895 in Baltimore, Maryland (Biography.com). When Babe was seven years old, his parents sent him to St. Mary’s Industrial school for boys where he lived until he was 19 years old. While he was at St. Mary’s he developed into a good baseball player. He was a natural as soon as he stepped onto the baseball field with the help of his brother Matthias who helped him master skills. Just as Robinson, Ruth was also...

...The Trouble with Wilderness; or, Getting Back to the Wrong Nature William Cronon This will seem a heretical claim to many environmentalists, since the idea of wilderness has for decades been a fundamental tenet-indeed, a passionof the environmental movement, especially in the United States. For many Americans wilderness stands as the last remaining place where civilization, that all too human disease, has not fully infected the earth. It is an island in the polluted sea of urban-industrial modernity, the one place we can turn for escape from our own too-muchness. Seen in this way, wilderness presents itself as the best antidote to our human selves, a refuge we must somehow recover if we hope to save the planet. As Henry David Thoreau once famously declared, “In Wildness is the preservation of the World.“’ But is it? The more one knows of its peculiar history, the more one realizes that wilderness is not quite what it seems. Far from being the one place on earth that stands apart from humanity, it is quite profoundly a human creation-indeed, the creation of very particular human cultures at very particular moments in human history. It is not a pristine sanctuary where the last remnant of an untouched, endangered, but still transcendent nature can for at least a little while longer be encountered without the contaminating taint of civilization. Instead, it is a product of that civilization, and could hardly be contaminated by the very stuff of which it is made...

...Vol. 14 Nº 27 Ben Tran: Green Management: The reality of Being Green in Business 21 GREEN MANAGEMENT: THE REALITY OF BEING GREEN IN BUSINESS GESTIÓN VERDE: LA REALIDAD DE LA SOSTENIBILIDAD ECOLÓGICA EN LA GESTIÓN GERENCIAL Ben Tran1 ABSTRACT Green management and going green are not as clear cut and easy as hyped by the general media. While going ecologically green is indeed beneficial and appropriate, the process and procedure of becoming green is anything but easy. Firstly, turning green is largely not a legal requirement, but a voluntary process. Thus, even though LEED (which is by far the more publicly known green certification standard) governs the certification of the green management effort, it is not a compulsory condition for practitioners to go green. Secondly, even with the encouragement of incentives to comply, practitioners are skeptical in becoming green due to: (a) a lack of true understanding of the benefit of ecologically friendly procedures (the practice of profits versus the theory of benefits); (b) lack of short term gain in life cycle costing (practitioners want instant incentives); and (c) mostly, because it is not a legal requirement for the vast majority of municipalities. Keywords: Green management, green business practices, barriers toward green management, encouragement & incentives for green management, LEED Certification.

...CHAPTER III LEGAL AID A CONSTITUTIONAL MANDATE CHAPTER III LEGAL AID A CONSTITUTIONAL MANDATE 3.1 INTRODUCTION The constitution of India has defined and declared the common goal for its citizens as “to secure to all the citizens of India, justice – Social, Economic and Political”. The eternal value of the constitutionalism is the rule of law which has three facets i.e. rule by law, role under law and rule according to law. Under our constitution, it is the primary responsibility of the state to maintain law and order so that the citizens can enjoy peace and security. The preamble speaks of justice, social economic and political and of equality of status and opportunity. It points out that protecting the interest of the poorer section of the society is the constitutional goal. So this very idea of protecting poor people cannot be promoted without the effective, efficient functions of the legal aid programmes and legal literacy programme. The study relates to the Legal Aid provisions in Constitution and in the code of civil and criminal procedures. 3.1.1 Legal Aid Relevant Constitutional Provisions : Preambular Aspirations and Legal Aid The preamble79 to the Constitution summarises the aims and objectives of the Constitution. It is a legitimate aid in the interpretation of the constitution.

...SECRET LANGUAGE of • HOW LEADERS INSPIRE ACTION THROUGH NARRATIVE The LEADERSHIP STEPHEN DENNING John Wiley & Sons, Inc. More Praise for The Secret Language of Leadership “Out of the morass of strategies leaders are given to transform organizations, Denning plucks a powerful one—storytelling— and shows how and why it works.” —Dorothy Leonard, William J. Abernathy Professor of Business, Emerita, Harvard Business School, and author, Deep Smarts: How to Cultivate and Transfer Enduring Business Wisdom “The Secret Language of Leadership shows why narrative intelligence is central to transformational leadership and how to harness its power.” —Carol Pearson, director, James MacGregor Burns Academy of Leadership, University of Maryland, and coauthor, The Hero and the Outlaw “The Secret Language of Leadership is not only the best analysis I have seen of how and why leaders succeed or fail, it’s highly readable, as well as downright practical. It should be mandatory reading for anyone interested in engaging a company with big ideas who understands that leaders live and die by the quality of what they say.” —Richard Stone, story analytics master, i.d.e.a.s “A primary role of leaders is to create and maintain meaning for their organizations. Denning clearly demonstrates that meaningmaking comes from stories well told.” —Thomas Davenport, President’s Distinguished Professor of I.T. and Management, Babson College, and author, The Attention Economy “Steve...
