...controversial and debated topics in the United States is revolving around the NFL and our National Anthem,” The Star Spangled Banner”. The issue is if NFL players should be required to stand during the National Anthem or be allowed to protest and take a knee. It is literally dividing households, and even bigger dividing the entire country. Personally I think every American no matter race or ethnicity should stand during the National Anthem and respect our nation because the anthem should bring all americans together and not divide us. When people go to watch sports, in person or on T.V., the last thing they want to see or hear is politics. People watch sports for entertainment and to get away from real problems, such as politics. When over half of the players in the NFL decided to take a knee this past Sunday, it was a disaster and dropped the NFL’s ratings. Donald Trump’s statement on the topic resulted in double the number of players protesting than ever before, by taking a knee during the National Anthem, which is morally wrong and just plain wrong. The National Anthem unites all Americans no matter what you do, where you are from, what language you speak,...

...NFL Articles Reflection The articles, “Trump Responds to NFL Player Protest: ‘Standing with locked arms is good, kneeling is not acceptable,’” written by Caroline Kenny, who works for CNN, and the article, “Seahawks, Titans, Steelers Stay in Locker Rooms during National Anthem as More Players Protest,” written by Katherine Iam from Fox News are informative pieces on what is going on in the NFL. Recently, many NFL players have been kneeling, linking arms, or staying in the locker rooms during the national anthem. These athletes are being both praised and criticized for their actions. Both of these article are unbiased, had similar information, and written by credible people, so I believe that the authors can be trusted. I liked that both...

...Page…………………………………………………………………………………………….1 Table of Contents…………………………………………………………………………………..2 Introduction to Managed Care and the Pros………………………………………….3-4 • Types of managed care • How managed care is governed Cons of Managed Care…………………………………………………………………………..4-5 • Why is there a need for managed care Conclusion……………………………………………………………………………………………..5 References……………………………………………………………………………………………..6 Health insurance plans that contract with health care providers and medical facilities to provide care for members at reduced costs are called managed care plans. There are three different types of managed care plans, and can benefit individuals in different ways depending on the coverage options they are looking for. Like a lot of different things, managed care can have positives and negatives. Managed care is where health insurance companies have contracts with health care providers and facilities to provide care to patients at a reduced price. These providers make up the plan's network. How much of your care the plan will pay for depends on the network's rules and if the provider is in that specific network. There are three different types of managed care; HMO, PPO, and POS. HMO is a health maintenance organization and this is where they usually only pay for care within that network. Some insurance companies like Summa, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Medical Mutual offer HMO plans. A PPO is a preferred provider organization which is where they usually...

Offsetting these favorable factors are concerns about slowing economic growth, growing governmental fiscal pressures (particularly at the state and local levels), and health care reform issues. We believe these factors will affect each business and individuals differently and will likely keep the number of rating actions moderate for 2012.

...1. Was Louis Riel and the Metis justified in using violence? PRO Louis Riel and Metis were justified in using violence. There is a similar circumstance with Riel’s rebellion; Gandhi’s nonviolence resistance. Gandhi’s nonviolence resistance was successful, but it brought a great loss. Since India has a large population, they could keep their tradition and had a less apprehension about losing their culture during the great repression. However, Metis is a minority race. They have the risk of losing their identity and traditions if they had done the same thing which Gandhi and his people did. Also, Wilfrid Laurier said,* “If (I) had been on the banks of the Saskatchewan when the rebellion broke out, (I) would have take up my arms (myself) against the government … Riel’s execution was a judicial...

...Financing and Structuring Health Care 1 Financing and Structuring Health Care Lisa Martin Strayer University Professor Tataw July 18, 2011 Financing and Structuring Health Care 2 1. Indentify and describe the three main types of health insurances in the U.S. The main 3 types are the commercial health insurance industry, Blue cross and Blue shield plans and Health Maintenance Organizations. With the commercial health insurance industry there are two distinctions, which are between mutual and stock insurers. Mutual insurance companies, are essentially owned by their policyholders, in contrast to stock insurance companies, which are owned in the more traditional corporate fashion by stockholders. Commercial health insurance companies are either “multiline” carriers or “single –line” insurers. The multiline insurers offer other insurance products like life, auto, homeowners, worker’s compensation, business liability and some offer renters insurance as well. There are some multi-line insurers that also offer a range of financial services, like pension and investment areas. The single-line health insurers offer health insurance ...

...objectives (such as growth, for example). As evidenced by the continuous decline in Convergys’ operating margins over the past 5 years, contrasted with the high quality service it provides and the growth of the specific companies and industries it services, it is apparent that Convergys’ approach to growth is not particularly effective. In this case analysis, we will provide recommendations on strategies Convergys could implement to better segment and service key customers, which should hopefully result in a reversal in its operating margin decrease trend and by helping to increase sales through new customer retention and acquisition. 2. The measures of Economic Value (EV) and Relationship Value (RV) as proposed by Carlson offer both pros and cons worth considering. A high level analysis of...

...________________________________________________________________________________________ Chicken of the Sea International The Jessica Simpson Spokesperson Decision [pic] _______________________________________________________________________________________ This case was written by Professor George E. Belch and Michael A. Belch. It is intended to be used as the basis for class discussion rather than to illustrate either effective or ineffective handling of a management situation. Introduction Chicken of the Sea International (COSI) is one of the oldest seafood companies in the United States. The company processes and markets a variety of seafood items under the Chicken of the Sea brand name including canned tuna, salmon, sardines, mackerel, crab, and clam products. The original company was founded in 1914 by Frank Van Camp and his son who bought the California Tuna Canning Company to can albacore tuna and changed the name to the Van Camp Seafood Company. However, the company began using the Chicken of the Sea trademark and brand name as a way to describe the taste of its tuna to consumers. Van Camp was the first company to can "light" tuna. So consumers would know to expect a mild-flavored white fish – that tasted similar to chicken – the company marketed it under the brand name Chicken of the Sea. It was such a success that the company eventually adopted the product name. The company operated under the Van Camp Seafood...

Labour’s Reforms o The constitutional reforms initiated by the Labour Government elected in 1997 together promise to transform the institutional structure of the United Kingdom. ▪ The Scottish Parliament and the Welsh Assembly are the most tangible signs of this transformation but other constitutional reforms are either in being or well under way …… ▪ including the Human Rights Act of 1998 (incorporating the European Convention on Human Rights), ▪ a directly-elected mayor and assembly for London, ▪ a reformed House of Lords ▪ and Freedom of Information legislation. ▪ Although reform of the electoral system for Westminster now seems a somewhat distant prospect, the 1999 elections to the Welsh Assembly, to the Scottish Parliament and to the European Parliament were all conducted using electoral systems very different from the traditional first-past-the-post method. ▪ Referendums have been widely used, and more promised o Lecture by the Lord Chancellor, Lord Irvine of Lairg, to the Constitution Unit, Westminster. 8 December 1998 o No other Government this century has embarked upon so significant or wide-ranging a programme of constitutional reform as the New Labour Government...

The end of the Cold War is usually seen as the beginning of the contemporary era in world politics which is the subject matter of this book. It is, therefore, appropriate that we begin the story with a discussion of the Cold War. The chapter shows how the dominance of two superpowers, the United States of America and the Soviet Union, was central to the Cold War. It tracks the various arenas of the Cold War in different parts of the world. The chapter views the NonAligned Movement (NAM) as a challenge to the dominance of the two superpowers and describes the attempts by the non-aligned countries to establish a New International Economic Order (NIEO) as a means of attaining economic development and political independence. It concludes with an assessment of India’s role in NAM and asks how successful the policy of nonalignment has been in protecting India’s interests. The end of the Second...
