...Australia Two empirical studies have been undertaken in Australia to obtain the experiences of family members involved in relocation disputes - a small-scale, retrospective, qualitative study of 33 parents by Associate Professor Juliet Behrens, Associate Professor Bruce Smyth and Dr Rae Kaspiew; and a larger, prospective, longitudinal study of 80 parents and 19 children by Professor Patrick Parkinson, Associate Professor Judy Cashmore, the Hon Richard Chisholm and Judi Single, from the University of Sydney Faculty of Law.3 Behrens, Smyth and Kaspiew The Australian Research Council funded Behrens, Smyth and Kaspiew (2008a, 2008b, 2009a, 2009b) to undertake a small-scale, retrospective, qualitative study involving in-depth interviews with 38 separated parents (27 fathers and 11 mothers) concerning their experiences of contested relocation proceedings in the Family Court of Australia (FCA), the Federal Magistrates Court or the Family Court of Western Australia between 2002 and mid-2005 (i.e. where the Court order had been made between 18 months and five years previously). The research team also planned to interview the children of these parents, but after only being able to recruit three children had to abandon this aspect of their study. The study aimed to specifically examine how parents (and children) perceived the impact on themselves and other family members of the decision; what had happened for the family members in the aftermath of the decision (for example, how had patterns...

...2. (TCOs A and E) Writing an Employee Memo Your Role You are the manager of the Sales Department of The Medical Corporation (TMC), a department that employs 25 sales representatives. As a result of reduced revenues and increased expenses, TMC's Management Board has voted to implement a "right-size action" that could result in personnel reductions in your department in the next two years. As the manager of the Sales Department, you are responsible for informing the sales staff about the proposed right-size action, and its potential impact on the Sales Department, in a way that will explain the situation clearly and also maintain the good will of the employees. Background The Medical Corporation (TMC) is a worldwide marketer of medical supplies and services. Established in 1980, the company enjoyed dynamic growth during its first two decades as part of the flourishing pharmaceutical industry. TMC's revenues surpassed $1 billion in just five years, its stock rose an average of 12 percent a year during its first decade, and per share earnings consistently exceeded industry averages. However, despite revenue increases of over 10 percent each year for the past twenty years, TMC's growth appears to be slowing down, partly because the pharmaceutical industry as a whole is now being scrutinized for its excessive prices and declining service. Last year, TMC revenue in the United States was $5 billion, an increase of only 2.0 percent over the prior year; non-U.S. operations...

.... Relocating to the Mid West (Indiana) Relocation from one state to another is not only stressful, but also costly and time consuming. An individual who has to move from their state to another has to take into consideration planning. Several challenges to consider spouse employment, moving more than one car, and kids adjustment to new school. Individuals who have children experience a great deal of problems and challenges during relocation. Children are more affected by change of environments to another state as compared to adults because their emotional capacity has not yet developed to its maximum. Relocation from one state to the other is a physically consuming task. It involves moving homes and a lot of packing and unpacking. In a new state, an individual encounters a new set of norms and culture. All the things encountered in a new state are new. This exposes an individual to a great social challenge. One is required to understand the way of learning things in the new state host within the least time possible. An individual after entering a new state is advised to ask as many questions as he/she might consider beneficial in order to understand the new area surroundings.

...support their team as much as possible in order to keep the team in their city. St. Louis officials offered almost $500 million for a new stadium in the city which is more than Los Angeles, San Diego, or Oakland were willing to provide. Stan showed in his actions and words many times after the decision became public that he did not care how much the fans tried or how much money St. Louis gave him for a new stadium, he would never keep his team in the city. The Ram’s relocation application made harsh comments about St. Louis including saying “the St. Louis market is one that ‘will continue to lag’ and send any NFL team that stays to ‘financial ruin’” (Davidson). Kroenke’s lack of consideration for Spanos or the feeling of current fans has caused many to feel alienated and turn towards other NFL teams. His actions show that he may care more about what he wants than what is best for the team, which, along with offending the fans, may end up losing the teams even more supporters and their money, which meaning the relocation will lose the team quite a bit of money and decrease their value. If either team relocates and joins the Rams they would have to share the burden of paying for the stadium or pay a large sum for renting it out. If one of these teams...

...want to move out of state after their divorce is finalized to get a fresh start, be closer to family or pursue a job opportunity. For custodial parents, however, there is more to the process than making the decision to move, packing up and hitting the road. When parents share custody, or noncustodial parents have parenting time, people may require permission to move out of the state with their children. With few exceptions, it is generally held that children benefit from having a relationship with both of their parents. Therefore, the courts frequently encourage parenting time and visitation, even if the parents do not share custody. According to the Minnesota Judicial Branch, parenting time schedules are often set by court order. Consequently, they cannot be significantly or...

...Julie D Freece Tracy Derks History223 20 July 2015 Termination, Relocation and Assimilation Termination, Relocation and Assimilation; three words used by the United States government to describe programs designed to solve the “Indian problem”. These policies would provide the Indians an escape from impoverished reservations and a chance to live the American Dream. To the Indians, these three words described the incalculable loss of the “old ways” which included their culture, heritage and language. Without the support of their communities, thrust into urban life, many Indians found the experience demoralizing. Despite the unduly positive assertions made by those supporting the policies, in reality, termination and relocation policies exacted long-lasting social havoc on Indians in general and for the tribes terminated the consequences were devastating. Following World War II, there were those who believed the cost of treaty obligations to the American Indians could be better spent on rebuilding Germany and Japan. These politicians subscribed to the notion that there were tribes who were ready to be part of main stream America and no longer needed the protection or assistance of the federal government. If adopted, the policy of termination would dismantle Indian reservations; allowing the resource rich land to be sold, with the proceeds distributed to tribal members. This would “free” the Indians from their reservations allowing them to become fully assimilated citizens...

...Relocation: Repercussions and Benefits Change is a part of life that no one can escape. One important life event that can cause a series of positive and/or negative effects on both individuals and families is relocation. While the core catalyst for these changes is the relocation itself, factors such as employment, education, and the environment and community of the new location, need to be taken into account. The first factor is the various aspects of employment connected to the new locale. The primary changes one faces with employment include advancement opportunities and pay versus cost of living. These changes can be positive, negative, or a little of both. One of the...

...renegotiation stage was characterized by a great deal of informal contact among the parties. Our role was to act in the company’s interest to reduce the cost of two sites that has raised the cost of production and services which can lead to the company going bankrupt and ultimately dissolved. We found out that we can reduce cost and serve the corporation from collapse by relocating the employees including the R&D team from Munich to our facility at Wasserberg. The employees opposed to the move because they believe they will lose their interaction with the faculty at the areas university. They also felt the move would either force them to relocate their homes or increase their commute that they saw as a step down in status from the reputable Munich firm. Besides that, they opposed to the move because of the lack of dining options and poor laboratory facilities. Despite the genuine concern of the employees including the R&D team, there was the need for the parties to come to an agreement on the move before customers refused to award us contracts. The management team did all our prenegotiation interaction on phone. Prenegotiation stage is where the parties tend to work on a number of important issues (Southwestern College, 2011, p383). One of the most important things that came up at this stage was who will chair the negotiation. My team...

...the likes of Marc-Andre Fleury and James Neal, along with an intriguing list of prospects that includes Cody Glass, the 6th overall pick. Now that the league is at 31 teams, however, the focus shifts on adding team no. 32. The league’s long-term vision is to have an even amount of teams in both questions, but the question of where that is team will be is a little less clear. For starters, we need to look like at where the league is at right now and where it may head. Currently, there are 16 teams in the Eastern Conference and 15 teams in the Western Conference with the addition of the Golden Knights. And with the league focused on setting up the conferences and divisions based off of time zones, it seems unlikely that we could see a move such as Detroit returning to the West or Nashville moving to the East. This means that we will most likely see the next expansion team located in the West to join fellow expansion member Vegas. Sorry, Quebec (more on them shortly.)...
