...wanted everyone to know that even though the United States was going through a difficult time, we can come to solidarity. This was one of Buck’s final appearances before he died of lung cancer and Parkinson's disease nine months later. Buck will always be remembered for helping the United States come together through baseball. Four days later, the Mets played their first game in New York. Eight innings later Mike Piazza hit a game-winning home run. While Piazza was running around the bases nobody was thinking of everything that had happened. There was joy when Piazza hit the ball. “I'm just so happy I gave people something to cheer….These people are so great, New York has been so strong through all this”(Piazza,Mike,Cbssports,New York:21 Sept. 2001). Although many New Yorkers consider Mike Piazza a hero, he doesn't consider himself that. Piazza went to Ladder 3 on East 13th Street where New York firemen lost half their men in the attacks. “In our country, we hold sports stars up as heroes, but it's these guys here who define who real heroes are” (Piazza, Mike, Newsdays, New York: Sept. 2001). On October 30, 2001, President Bush threw the first pitch of Game 3 of the World Series. In the Yankee Stadium, Bush was warming up right before he went up to the mound. Derek Jeter, Yankees shortstop, tried joking around with Bush due to his nervousness. Bush knew that everyone in the stadium wanted him to throw a strike. “Standing on the mound at Yankee Stadium was by far...

...Gian Lorenzo Bernini, (born December 7, 1598, Naples, Kingdom of Naples [Italy]—died November 28, 1680, Rome, Papal States), Italian artist who was perhaps the greatest sculptor of the 17th century and an outstanding architect as well. Bernini created the Baroque style of sculpture and developed it to such an extent that other artists are of only minor importance in a discussion of that style. Bernini’s career began under his father, Pietro Bernini, a Florentine sculptor of some talent who ultimately moved to Rome. The young prodigy worked so diligently that he earned the praise of the painter Annibale Carracci and the patronage of Pope Paul V and soon established himself as a wholly independent sculptor. He was strongly influenced by his close study of the antique Greek and Roman marbles in the Vatican, and he also had an intimate knowledge of High Renaissance painting of the early 16th century. His study of Michelangelo is revealed in the St. Sebastian (c. 1617), carved for Maffeo Cardinal Barberini, who was later Pope Urban VIII and Bernini’s greatest patron. A major figure in the world of architecture, he was the leading sculptor of his age, credited with creating the Baroque style of sculpture. As one scholar has commented, 'What Shakespeare is to drama, Bernini may be to sculpture: the first pan-European sculptor whose name is instantaneously identifiable with a particular manner and vision, and whose influence was inordinately powerful...' In addition, he was a painter...

Lundquist 2010 Employer Branding Questionnaire Employer branding moves online Questionnaire results from more than 400 respondents show that 95% of job seekers use corporate websites before deciding whether to apply for a job. The questionnaire is part of research to rank the online employer branding of the 100 best global brands. Milan, 4 August 2010 – Attracting and retaining the best talent, the core scope of employer branding, has always been one of the main preoccupations of managers operating in boom times as well as in what has been called the Great Recession. Employer branding used to be exclusively an offline activity practiced in many ways including through job fairs, advertising, marketing and internal newsletters. Companies are still passing on the same type of information to current and prospective employees only now they are increasingly doing it through their website. Employer branding is a company’s pitch to current and prospective employees. It is the company’s bid to show why it is a desirable place to work. Good online employer branding is a key step in the drive to getting and keeping top employees, but how should companies confront the process? Job seekers are using the internet, that we know, but how much and what are they looking for? In this age of social networks and job sites that aggregate employment announcements how much does the corporate website matter? When evaluating...

...like him, people who are more curious about Italy, therefore, his book can be of their help, as they put them in the wanted environment. Jeffrey said that being an outsider was much of a help to his book, as he had seen things that Italians may never had paid attention to in Italy. As a result, he had some personal characteristics he wanted to address in his book along with casual ones. Interpreting Italians consists of a series of essays on historical, political and cultural topics that have had a significant influence of the development of Italian mores and behaviour. His book basically touched every aspect about Italy, as Jeffry said “from the piazza to the façade”. His topics were listed as a form of chapters. He talked about the importance of the mother in Italy in “Mama Mia” chapter, the importance of the piazza where people meet, the roman tradition and the beauty of gods statues along...

Nei secoli venne definito come il fulcro del potere della Riviera. Struttura architettonica Il piano terra del Palazzotto presenta un porticato con lati di due e tre arcate. Una scaletta esterna, situata in un angolo del porticato, conduce al piano sovrastante, dove trova luogo una grande sala con finestre affacciate sulla piazza: qui si riuniva il Consiglio Generale costituito da deputati eletti nai vari paesi. Questo organo esercitava il potere legislativo ed esecutivo, comprese le importanti decisioni sulle condanne capitali. I membri del Consiglio seguivano un “modus operandi” sorprendentemente democratico: dopo aver formulato e ascoltato le varie proposte avanzate nel corso delle riunioni, riferivano alle loro Comunità di provenienza per poi notificarne le decisioni alla successiva assemblea.
