...In life, there will be setbacks but for every setback that happens, there is an opportunity for a comeback. One comeback story that I’ve heard about is Peyton Manning and his neck injury. After a neck surgery in 2011, Manning started to lose motion in his neck and started to lose strength in his shoulder. It was revealed after a visit to the doctor that he needed a spinal fusion surgery. The doctors said that that the surgery could end his football career. This surgery caused Manning to miss the entire 2011 NFL season. Manning was lucky enough that the injury did not cause him to miss him the following season, but a new setback occurred. On March 7,2012, Peyton Manning was released by the Indianapolis Colts, this sent shockwaves across the league. Now, according to most, the most coveted free agent of the 2012 Free Agency, signed with the Denver Broncos. John Elway even allowed Manning to wear the number 18 even after it was retired. Peyton proceeded to play in the 2012 season after being cleared by doctors. The 2012 was a successful season as he made his twelfth pro bowl by silencing his critics and playing lights out. He lead the Broncos to the second round of the playoffs, which they lost to the eventual Super Bowl champions. To represent how successful his comeback was that year, he was awarded the AP Comeback player of the year. In 2013, he had an even more...

...Lady Michelle Obama's "We should Move" crusade intending to support more restorative practices. According to “Studies: Celebrity Endorsements Encourage Unhealthy Food, Drinks - The Youth Project,” late research proposes that one of the greatest impediments to advance may be battles of a more omnipresent nature - advertisements emphasizing unfortunate sustenance and beverages supports by big names (Haelle 2014). Celebrities should not endorse junk foods because with everything they do for show and for themselves, endorsing the junk foods is not making anything better for them. It is encouraging people to also endorse junk foods because they want to be like the celebrities. By endorsing the junk foods, it is just destroying celebrities and everybody that follows them. According to a Yale study, professional athletes’ endorsements of food and beverages made up about a quarter of all their endorsements in 2010, second only to sporting goods and apparel. Yet, more or less four out of each five food/drink items embraced by athletes were very low in nutritional value (Haelle 2014). Further, included sugar represented all the calories in a little more than 93 percent of the beverages embraced by the competitors. The Yale study broke down the supports in TV, radio, daily paper, and magazines of the main 100 expert competitors taking into account their conspicuousness and support esteem as positioned by Bloomberg Businessweek in 2010. Together, the competitors had supported 122...

...Institute are the main recipients (Wilf 1-2) Although the NFL is active in patronage and encouraging in physical activity and safety, some have a skewed image of the NFL. Some view the NFL as greedy and the playing of the sport as dangerous. The recent link of CTE to receiving concussions from football has put the league in a bad light. CTE causes depression, impaired judgement, memory loss, and aggression. With 96% of deceased NFL players being diagnosed with CTE, many believe the sport of football is too dangerous to play (Schumaker 1-3). What many do not know is that the NFL has donated sixty-million dollars to technology development in helmets, forty-million to medical research, and one-billion for a settlement with former players (Maske 1-2). Football is the legacy sport. Names like Joe Montana and Peyton Manning are some of the best known stars to those even outside of the sport. However, with ratings at an alltime low for NFL games and a skewed image of an impactful league, the time has come for other countries to have their own legacies through the sharing of American football. It is just the right thing to do. The imperfect state of the current NFL will only be fixed by more football fans and more money for rebranding. The main arguments against expansion are usually a new franchise might not take off, it would be asking too much of players, scheduling and logistics would be too big of an obstacle and the NFL is perfect the way it is and should stay American. I, for one, wholeheartedly...

...More Praise for the Second Edition of Beyond Change Management “Once again, Dean and Linda have nailed it! Beyond Change Management is an extraordinary book examining the shifts in change management that have occurred over the years. This book offers real, practical solutions for change practitioners to become extraordinary conscious change leaders.” —Darlene Meister, director, Unified Change Management, United States House of Representatives “Entering the offices recently of a highly respected Fortune 500 company, I was stunned by the enormity of change they were facing and at the same time how ill-equipped they were to deal with the challenges that lay ahead of them. They had little capacity to lead and manage the change required. And, of course, consulting firms were swarming all over them. Th ey needed this book by the Andersons to help them. In fact, Chapter Five alone on building organizational capability is worth the price of the book.” —W. Warner Burke, Ph.D., Edward Lee Thorndike Professor of Psychology and Education; chair, Department of Organization and Leadership; program coordinator, Graduate Programs in Social-Organizational Psychology, Teachers College, Columbia University “Beyond Change Management is a must-read for today’s C-Suite executives and those who lead organizational change.

...CHAPTER 1 | Economics: Foundations and Models Chapter Summary and Learning Objectives 1.1 Three Key Economic Ideas (pages 4–8) Explain these three key economic ideas: People are rational; people respond to economic incentives; and optimal decisions are made at the margin. Economics is the study of the choices consumers, business managers, and government officials make to attain their goals, given their scarce resources. We must make choices because of scarcity, which means that although our wants are unlimited, the resources available to fulfill those wants are limited. Economists assume that people are rational in the sense that consumers and firms use all available information as they take actions intended to achieve their goals. Rational individuals weigh the benefits and costs of each action and choose an action only if the benefits outweigh the costs. Although people act from a variety of motives, ample evidence indicates that they respond to economic incentives. Economists use the word marginal to mean extra or additional. The optimal decision is to continue any activity up to the point where the marginal benefit equals the marginal cost. 1.2 The Economic Problem That Every Society Must Solve (pages 8–11) Discuss how an economy answers these questions: What goods and services will be produced? How will the goods and services be produced? Who will receive the goods and services produced? Society faces trade-offs: Producing more of one good...
