This major success inspired the company to expand their research and begin to work with people from around the globe. The discovery of insulin is arguably what pushed Lilly to the size it is...

Mr. and Mrs. White went to O'Malley's Tavern on the Saturday, July 28, 2007, a tavern in Gary, Indiana. Edward Hard, a former fiancé of Mrs. White was also patronizing the same tavern and on seeing the two, he approached them to convey his congratulations on their recent marriage and then went back to his seat and resumed his drinks. The first defendant, Mr. Daniels, was the only licensed bartender working at O'Malley's Tavern. Mrs. White and Mr. Daniels confirmed Mr. Hard consumed four to six shots in about twenty-eight minutes after the arrival of the Whites.

Mr. Daniel did not notice this stumbling incident and thus was not aware of the intoxication level of Mr. Hard and could not be said to have...

...SWOT Analysis Fourwinds Marina has a variety of strengths, including being an attractive boating destination and the largest full-service marina of its kind in the U.S., but a major weakness is that the company has been mismanaged since day one. None of its general managers were experienced in marina operations, including its newest, Jack Keltner, the sixth GM in 5 years. The largest opportunities are the marina's central location to urban areas and its close proximity to Indianapolis' high income population. The company does have a threat: it has no control over slip rental rates. Those are set by the State of Indiana. It should be noted that while the Pointe, a nearby condo development, will be a source of new customers to the marina, it could lure guests away from the marina's sister-company, the Inn at Fourwinds. The Taggert Corporation (TC) owns the marina and the inn. The corporation's strategy changed from development to operational sustainability with the institution of much-needed financial controls and reporting after it became clear that operational problems were preventing the company from securing new investors. According to Sandy Taggert (1976), president of TC, "we had a lot of people up to the minister but none would say yes." Jack is expected to reverse the marina's operational losses and ensure that TC can meet its financial obligations to the state and to its investors. TC is set-up under the division organizational function, with the marina...

...The Michigan Prison system is a very complex prison system but is in great need of reform. The michigan Prison system costs tax payers over 2 billion a year and has nearly 47 percent more prisions than other great lake states. The costs of the michigan prison system makes up more than 20 percent of the state budget. The state is in despereate need of reform or change to keep there prison system running. One key promblem in the prison system is the rapid boom in prison population. since 1960 the population in the prisons have grown from 9,000 inmates to over 50,000 inmates. Michigan on avergae keeps prisoners locked up a year longer than other states. Michigan also has more prisoners locked up past there proale date than other states do. What is being done about this promblem, well not alot. Governor Jennifer Grandholm of michigan had promised reform in the prison system. She closed 20 small prison camps which will save the state of michigan over 1 billion dollars over a ten year period. She also spoke about reducing prison population however most michigan inmates served there full sentence or ever longer. On average one inmate costs the state of michigan 33,000 dollars to keep locked up. The solution would seem to be to release inamtes early however this is not an idea the public typically likes. The taxpayers desparatly want lower taxes but do not want criminals on the street. However when Gov. Grandholm closed prison camps the crime acually went...

...Through the analysis of candidates for national, state, and local politics, residency issues are raised as an age-old political tactic used by incumbents and challengers alike to question whether an opponent is qualified for the job or sufficiently focused on home state concerns. A last example of residency playing a role in which a lost election was the outcome was in the case of Senator Richard Lugar (R-Indiana). The Hoosier State’s former senior senator lost reelection in 2012 after news reports revealed that he stayed in hotels whenever he visited Indiana and kept his primary home in Virginia. Making matters worse, “Lugar did not seem to heed the warnings of GOP strategists, who had warned him that he might lose if he didn’t aggressively tackle the appearance of being disconnected from his home state. Lugar didn’t think he had to worry-he had won reelection with more than 67 percent of the vote since 1982” (O’Keefe, 2014). But ultimately, the residency issue contributed to his downfall. He was defeated in a GOP primary by Richard Mourdock, who went on to lose to Senator Joe Donnelly...

...Morgan Moe Drugstores Management Style Analysis TABLE OF CONTENTS Morgan Moe Drugstores 1 Analysis Team 4 Introduction 5 The Problem 5 “Mans Search for Meaning” 5 The 5 programs 5 The Study 6 Table 1: Study Results 6 Analysis Team Annie Malpartida Brad Ingram Daniel Ojst Fernando Lamelas Jeremy Spund Introduction The Problem Manufacturing across the Midwest has seen sharp declines in the May 08 to May 09 Year. The automotive industry saw a reduction of over 39%, Steel output was down 36.8%, and manufacturing as a sector saw a 24% decrease.[i] But what does this mean for Morgan Moe Drugstores? Why is manufacturing so important? The Midwest primary output is manufacturing and agriculture. A decline in either one of these sectors means that the workers driving the Midwest economy have less to spend; meaning that the economic circulation in the region as a whole decreases. This loss of manufacturing is seen in the falling revenues of Morgan Moe. In many ways, the company has dealt with the difficult economic climate well. It has closed underperforming stores, consolidated the workforce, and reduced overhead. However, the laying off of many employees had some consequences. Negative press, internal rumors, and malcontent are spreading through the workforce. Websites like www.Ihatemorganmoe.blogspot.com are developing to further spread the discontent of laid-off workers. “Mans Search for Meaning” Upon reading this book, Jim...

...Midterm: Joy Harjo English 375: Literature of the American Midwest Joy Harjo Can we separate the artist from the art? If you read something written by Hitler, could you really understand his intent without knowing what the man himself was about? An individual may read thousands of books, articles or poems during their lifetime, but how many of us really try to understand what sort of background or values influence what we are reading? There is a reason that the Literature of the American Midwest is a collection. Each story or author has something in common that in some way has connected them to writing about what we define as the American Midwest. “If the Midwest is to act as a region, it must know what it is. It must define itself. It needs a unifying portrait, a communal myth. To paint this portrait, we look to our writers, especially our novelists (Longworth, 2010, pg. 1).” Joy Harjo is an example of a writer whose work uniquely defines the Midwest through her heritage, values, accomplishments, and social and political views. Joy Harjo is a particularly interesting writer whose accomplishments and values can help you to understand a great deal about how and why her writings define her as much as she defines them. “Joy Harjo was born in 1951 in Tulsa, Oklahoma to Native American and Canadian ancestry. Strongly influenced by her Muskogee Creek heritage, feminist and social concerns, and her background in the arts, Harjo frequently incorporates Native American...
