...Liverpool Rebranding Liverpool is a city in the north west of England and has a population of around 470000. It became a city in 1880 and is historically part of Lancashire. Overtime Liverpool has had many identities. In the 18th and 19th centuries it was a huge port with massive ships using the River Mersey to transport cargo and other goods. Around 1960 it became a leader in popular culture. Liverpool needed to rebrand because the city became old and run down but had little money to spend. This is because in the 1980’s Liverpool experienced economic and social deprivation.So Liverpool was in a spiral of decline because it was no longer an attractive place to live and work, people turned to vandalism and crime and some even left the area. With people leaving the area and it being an unsafe place to walk the streets, investors didn’t want to invest which meant the city couldn’t move forward. Liverpool is seen to be a city of culture because it has a rich history in popular music, most notably ‘The Beatles’. It also has a rich history in performing arts with an annual summer Shakespeare event. More evidence of it’s performing arts pedigree is the number of theatres, Empire, Everyman, Playhouse, Neptune, Royal Court and Unity Theatres are all very famous theatres. Liverpool also has two premier league football teams with Liverpool and Everton competing at the highest level. All of this shows that Liverpool has so much culture to offer and this is why it was awarded...

...Manquillo. Dejan Lovren seemed to excite a lot of Liverpool fans when he signed in the summer. A transfer fee of £20 million after a great season in the successful Southampton side which managed an 8th placed finish. Lovren has made a slow but steady start. He has showed some signs of promise, being tall, strong and winning balls. However there is still signs of that shaky defence from last season with Lovren now in the centre of the chaos as we have already conceded 15 goals in 11 games. This season. Rodgers brought in two Spaniards. Javier Manquillo, a right back, and Alberto Moreno, a left back. Javier Manquillo, who is on loan from Atletico Madrid for the season, looks promising but he is only 20 and still has a lot to learn when it comes to both defending and going forward. Moreno, another young full back at 22, looks good going forward, with a lot of pace and power shown especially with his goal in the 4-0 beating of Spurs at White Hart Lane, however at 22 he can still improve defensively, but with the reds splashing out £12 million from Sevilla on the Spaniard, he really needs to step up, along with the rest of the back four. Midfielders Rodgers brought in three midfielders. These were Emre Can, a central midfielder, Adam Lallana, who can play on the right of midfield or in the number 10 role, and Lazar Markovic who is a winger. The next signing we will come to is Emre Can, a young 20 year old German defensive midfielder. Liverpool paid £10 million to Bayer Leverkusen for Can...

...whether to use the talismanic captain as a bit-part player from the bench, or as a starter from now till the end of the season. Gerrard is now entering the final few months of his Liverpool career, and surely there is a lot of sentiment from quarters of the Anfield faithful for him to play as much football for the club till he departs. However, since his absence Liverpool have been on a scintillating run of games having won 8 and drawn 1 game in the Premier League. The current squad is revolved around the dovetailing of Philippe Coutinho and Raheem Sterling and with the current set up; it is difficult to see Gerrard forcing his way into the starting eleven. The big question now though, is how does Rodgers tackle this situation? Will he be doing the right thing by using Gerrard as an impact substitute? Or, does he allow sentiment to get in the way of his decision-making process to start with legendary player? The answer is – to use him as an impact substitute. As bitter a pill that is to swallow for the fans; it is the truth. For so many years the team has looked up at Gerrard to bring them out of trouble. However, that is not the case anymore. The days of Gerrard pulling Liverpool over the line are gone, as he cannot keep up with fluidity of the current team. The kind of form of this Liverpool side is in suggests that Rodgers is building a team with a new identity; an identity without that does not revolve around their talismanic captain being at the forefront of everything...

The two agents walked over to the location to investigate the dilemma. As they neared the hill, gun fire was exchanged killing Richetti, but granted Floyd the right amount of time to escape. He stopped a cyclist and stole the motorcycle. Floyd rode the bike till it ran out of gas. After the bike was out of gas, Floyd stopped a florist and told him to take the back roads (East Liverpool History). The vehicle was soon spotted outside of Lisbon. The police responded by setting up a road block on route 30. Floyd saw the road block and diverged off the highway. Floyd soon noticed a vehicle was following him. He opened fired on the vehicle and soon escaped into the woods. The lawman were still on Floyd’s tracks.

...THE HUMBLE SUCCESS OF ADIDAS Nowadays, the value of sports has been increasing more and more. So, it is important to have a good quality brands for the sportsmen to wear and equipments to use. Adidas is one of the most famous companies for producing the most quality sport goods. “Many people believe that the name Adidas is an acronym that stands for "all day I dream about sports." This idea has been popularly passed around for many years, but it is utterly false. While it may be used that way nowadays, the truth is that the name Adidas actually stands for the name of the company's founder, Adi Dassler” (watchshop.com , 2013). Therefore, this essay will talk about the history, products and sponsorship. However, Adidas have a rich history like other companies before they become successful in the battlefield of business. It all began in 1924 Germany, with the two brothers Adi and Rudolf Dassler who make shoes in their mother’s wash kitchen. Considering how successful they are today, it neither is funny nor shock for everyone to hear their beginnings. In 1936 Olympics Adi Dassler watched the games and realized that it would be a great deal for them if their shoes are worn by someone participated in the Olympics. So, Adi loaded his selected shoes into his car and asked the U.S runner Jesse Owen to wear his shoe in the Olympic Games. Then, the runner Jesse Owen won four gold medals. Also, Owen was the first ever person to wear the Adidas shoe in the tournament although it wasn’t...

...Arsenal Football Club were formed as Dial Square in 1886 by workers at the Royal Arsenal in Woolwich, south-east London, and were renamed Royal Arsenal shortly afterwards.[8] The club were renamed again to Woolwich Arsenal after becoming a limited company in 1893.[9] The club became the first southern member of the Football League in 1893, starting out in the Second Division, and won promotion to the First Division in 1904. The club's relative geographic isolation resulted in lower attendances than those of other clubs, which led to the club becoming mired in financial problems and effectively bankrupt by 1910, when they were taken over by businessmenHenry Norris and William Hall.[10] Norris sought to move the club elsewhere, and in 1913, soon after relegation back to the Second Division, Arsenal moved to the new Arsenal Stadium in Highbury, north London; they dropped "Woolwich" from their name the following year.[11] Arsenal only finished in fifth place in the second division during the last pre-war competitive season of 1914–15, but were nevertheless elected to rejoin the First Division when competitive football resumed in 1919–20, at the expense of local rivals Tottenham Hotspur. Some books have reported that this election to division 1 was achieved by dubious means.[12] Arsenal appointed Herbert Chapman as manager in 1925. Having already won the league twice with Huddersfield Town in 1923–24 and1924–25 (see Seasons in English football), Chapman brought Arsenal their first...

...guises is probably the most fascinating and main topic for discussion and exploration by the general public, the Media institutions are only too happy to help out in this reporting , of course with a financial cost to the public, but not necessarily with reporting truths or with integrity, within this essay I will demonstrate instances of inaccuracy through the research. There are many on-going debates into Mass Medias influences on crime and violent crime in particular, but is this a true reflection of the current culture crisis or a fabrication to sell copy, taking for instance the Murder case of James Bulger in 1993, after the then 10year old boys Robert Thompson and Jon Venable led 2year old James away from a shopping centre in Liverpool to a brutal /senseless and pointless murder the Media was instantly ‘all over’ the case , even though a murder of children by children was extremely rare the reporting of and style of reporting throughout the case was reflecting to the public all that was now wrong in Britain, The Sun instantly called for ‘a crusade to rescue a sick society’, a ‘breed’ of violent children , single mother parenting , and dysfunctional underclass families where being painted as those whom would bare these types of violent monsters creating one of the most widely advertised Moral panics of the 20th Century (Cohen, 2002).

...Introduction to Studying to Organizations In order to analyse the Hillsborough police department from an organizational perspective, we must know what an organization is. An organization is a social system, which comprises the coordinated action of two or more people towards attaining an objective (Donaldson, 1985). We can also specifically classify the Hillsborough police department as a public sector, not-for profit, service organization, because they serve the community without charging a price for their services. An important focus for the investigation of the Hillsborough disaster, is the bureaucratic tendencies of the police department. While there were many police enforcers involved in the disaster, it is necessary to look at the hierarchy of command to have a better understanding of where to direct the majority of the blame. In a bureaucratic organization, commands are passed downward from superiors to those working beneath them, and there is often a heavy correlation between promotion possibilities and your ability to successfully carry out the orders given to you. With this in mind, who is to blame is becomes a question of who is to blame? On a micro level, Captain Duckenfield and Lieutenant Murray delivered the commands to their subordinates that led to the disaster, but on a macro level, the subordinates within the department carried out the commands when they knew it was unsafe to do so. A defining part of being an organization is being a goal-seeking entity...
