In Erik’s football career Antoine Thomas pulled a Charlie Brown on Erik when he was kicking and made him do a banana peel back flop into the mud in a game and made Erik the laughing stock all over Tangerine, Florida.

...Research Paper: Destruction of Birds by Windmills Birds are likely to be affected and/or destroyed by windmills, this is a natural part of life. The basic cycle is, wind developments tend to be placed in upland areas with strong wind currents that have a lot of potential to generate energy. Birds use these currents as highways, so they are likely to come into contact with the windmills (aka turbines). Windmills pose one the highest risks in the world of killing birds. Research also indicates that wind developments can disrupt migration routes; while bird's foraging and nesting habitat are at risk of being lost when turbines are put up. Windmills don't affect all birds, but they do affect birds of prey, disproportionately. The main reason this occurs has to do with bird's genetics. For example, species like vultures have blind spots in their visual field. This means they cannot see objects directly in front of them (like wind turbines) when flying. Concerning amounts of bird deaths; large birds like hen harriers, eagles and vultures are slower to reproduce than other species, so their populations are more likely to have a small number of deaths. Unfortunately, there are specific locations in the world where windmills have caused a great number of fatalities amongst birds of prey. In the Almont pass in California, one study found that about 4,000 wind turbines killed 67 golden eagles and 1,127 birds of prey in a year. In Southern Spain, 252 wind turbines located in an area used...

...Running head: HEALING HOSPITAL: A DARING PARADIGM Healing Hospital: A Daring Paradigm John Thompson Grand Canyon University: HLT 310V February 12, 2012 Healing Hospital: A Daring Paradigm Hospitals are constantly trying to improve. They are looking for ways to reduce costs, streamline treatments, more efficiently use staff, and improve patient satisfaction. In regard to its patients, a hospital’s role is to promote healing. “Although hospitals have long been thought of as places to cure disease, new ideas about what hospitals should be and how they should function are creating new challenges for hospital designers and caregivers” (Research Design Connections, 2004, ¶ 1). The healing hospital paradigm is a new concept that some hospitals are implementing to achieve a healing environment. This paper will: explore the reasoning behind this new model; discuss components of healing hospitals, including their connection to spirituality; and identify the challenges of implementing such a paradigm. Reasoning for Healing Hospital The healing hospital model both provides and reaps many benefits. The paradigm not only benefits the patient but also the healthcare team and the community in which it serves. It has been shown to result in “patient satisfaction, improved outcomes, caregiver satisfaction with increased chance for a positive sense of meaning in work and community satisfaction” (Zarren, n.d., p. 5). The institution that implements the healing hospital...

...one that exists in a set of relations with others. Finding what leadership potential you have is not something you do in isolation or on a training course. While the 20th century provided a huge richness of writings on leadership, leadership development in organizations focused on the individual as leader and this has created a gap between theory and practice. As John Gardner wrote: 'We have barely scratched the surface in our effort towards leadership development. In the mid 21st century, people will look back on our present practices as primitive' (Gardner, 1995). Yet, within the mass of writings there were some jewels. One of the most profound writings of the 20th century on leadership came from Mary Parker Follett, who in a series of papers written for business education during the late 1930s set views of leadership that were to influence others. She began by...

As a result in the severe degradation of consumer confidence, marketers, category and brand managers are finding that the type of promotions that have served them well in the past, are no longer as effective. This traditional and rigorous analysis of “past events” limits its impact in a situation which is proving unique to most modern marketers and category managers. The fundamental challenge to be faced today revolves around recognising the need to use more focused and speedy methods of analysis to support brands, as part of a holistic organizational approach, rather than purely as a function Of marketing, sales or, in the context of retail, the buying department. Marketing mix modeling, forecasting, price driver reporting and various...

...INTRODUCTION The reason how McDonalds Restaurant became a well-established brand around the world began with the series of strategies they used throughout the years in building its success. From the beginning there was only a local food stand more like the food trucks on the streets now to becoming the multi-billion corporation with over a billion employees. The way McDonalds is able to penetrate through different markets around the world is very amazing because they may be the only fast food brand that could be found around the world with the possibility of finding one just at a corner near you. The brand is well known around the world yet they may only know the name and that it is a fast food restaurant. Yet different countries or cities may have discrepancies in menu engineering where the company accommodates to the food preferences of the people or the culture of the regions. As many may know, operating a hospitality establishment requires much effort to maintain and operate while the failure rate of restaurants are statistically calculated to be quite high. As discussed by the “RestaurantOwners” website, “Within a 90 percent confidence interval, CRG found that the first year failure rate for startups averaged 23 percent over four years in that market. Based on the study, you could say that there is a one in four chance a new startup will fail.” Nonetheless all company may have there ups and downs while the McDonalds Restaurants brand reign in the fast food market for...

...How World War II Changed Warfare How World War II Changed Warfare A man wearing olive drab pants and jacket slowly props the muzzle of his Thompson .45 Caliber Sub Machine Gun on a window seal of a half decimated apartment building. He lines up his sights and waits for the signal. He wears the “Screaming Eagle” patch of the United States Army’s 101st Airborne Division. Inserted into Bastogne, France via aerial assault from a C-47 Sky Train, in December 1944. Barrels pointed downward onto the rubble covered road. Passing over the road is a German Panzer Tank followed by a platoon of German soldiers carrying MP-40 Machine Pistols. As, the 101st nervously prepares to engage a Panzer Tank, which has them outmanned and outgunned, they hear a whistling sound in the distance believed to be an aircraft. Before they know a P-51 Mustang fighter plane, also known as a “Tank Killer” swoops in and knocks the Panzer out. Unexpectedly, the airborne troops open fire. A few long seconds later, the Panzer Tank sits smoldering in flames and a platoon of Nazis lays dead all around. Never before has the world, scene such a vast arsenal of weapons and tactics used. This will be reflected on the amount of lives, military and civilian, lost in the short span of 1939-1945. The devastation that took place would not just be repaired and forgotten. There is still evidence all over the Europe, North America, and Asia, of World War II and the lives that were lost. Not only was this the...

...development literatures as the gateway of the growth and development of the countries all around the world. Despite the phenomenal expansion of privatization programs, the results differed from country to country. Some could achieve the desired goals and some failed enormously. However, the World Bank and the IMF continued their campaign of privatization for less developed countries (LDCs) including Bangladesh to stimulate their growth and development. Some LDCs have adopted privatization programs of their own volition. The central theme of this paper is to examine the implications of privatization for the overall development of Bangladesh. The paper raises a number of issues in this regard. The issues involve meaning, significance, approaches, strategies and effectiveness of privatization. While seeking solutions to these issues, the problems inherent in policy formulation and its implementation strategies have been clearly spelled out in the paper. The authors suggest that in order to make privatization efforts a success, an indigenously designed pragmatic policy needs to be undertaken. They warn that the policy prescriptions of external sources including donor agencies, pressure groups and political lobbyists should be handled with great care and caution. 1. Introduction Privatization has been advocated in the development literatures as the gateway of the growth and development of the countries all around the globe. Despite the phenomenal expansion of privatization programs...
