...Paper #1 Poor-quality information can be found all over the internet as well as the one source of information that many people rely on heavily, Wikipedia. The one situation where Wikipedia’s poor-quality information has led me to believe incorrect information was when I was researching details on a specific football player. I was in a debate with a friend of mine on whether Rex Grossman played at University of Florida or Florida State University. I was arguing in favor of Rex Grossman attending Florida State University and my friend was arguing that Rex Grossman was a University of Florida alumni. After nearly an hour of debating, I concluded the argument by turning to Wikipedia for the correct information. Upon searching Rex Grossman’s name in Wikipedia I came to find out that he indeed attend Florida State University. When we concluded the argument my friend still felt as if he was still right and couldn’t it go. So as we were watching television he decided to search for the same information but went to a more credible source in ESPN. After my friend searched ESPN for the college that Rex Grossman attended, he actually proved to me that he did indeed attend University of Florida. After being proven wrong and let down by the poor-quality information that Wikipedia has led me to believe, I learned that finding a credible source of information can be very important in a multitude of ways. Had this same situation been work related I could have been disciplined for not checking...

...The atmosphere inside the stadium was truly indescribable. Hearing "It's Great to Be a Florida Gators echo throughout the stadium as we walked out was a surreal moment," Hughes said. Playing and watching sports has been an immense part of molding Hughes into the person he is today. Instead of just being a fan of the game, Hughes inspires to be an influential writer in the sports media industry. Growing up in an era of the social media platform being created and changing the journalistic landscape, Hughes was able to follow and read writers from all over the country. Giving his love of sports and passion to pursue a career in sports journalism, Hughes was a huge fan of this. Following beat writers, like Nick Del La Torre of GatorCountry.com and Zach Alboverdi of the Atlanta Journal Constitution, on social media networks caught the...

...Paying College Athletes College athletics is a billion dollar industry and has been for a very long time. Due to the increasing ratings of college athletics, this figure will continue to rise. College athletes should get paid to play for many reasons. First of all, college athletes bring in millions of dollars through merchandise and games. Then most of the athletes that have the opportunity to leave school and turn professional do so, because college athletes live in near poverty. Thirdly, if college athletes aren’t allowed to work how can they afford necessary expense if they come from poor families? College athletes bring in millions of dollars to their schools. For example, the University of Miami received about 8 million dollars for the Miami Hurricanes playing in the Nokia Sugar Bowl. The apparel also brings in a lot of money by selling hats, footballs, and jerseys. Also the Orange Bowl holds over 60,000 people and they sell tickets at an average of 20 dollars each. Therefore, players should receive some of this money because without them the schools wouldn’t receive all the money and popularity. Second, college athletes live in near poverty because the money they receive isn’t enough to pay for all of the expenses. The few athletes that graduate from college, that could turn professional before their senior year, stay because their parents support them by sending money. If college athletes are eligible to be paid, there would be more athletes graduating. Paying athletes...

...The 2007 heisman trophy winner. Two time national championship winner at the University of Florida. 2010 first round draft-pick to be the Denver Broncos quarterback. Thats what comes to mind when you think of Tim Tebow, right? Most people overlook the charitable person that he really is. Tebow not only loves the game, but he loves to “bring Faith, Hope and Love to those needing a brighter day in their darkest hour of need.” As a result of this, Timothy Tebow is deserving of being honored in the EMS Memorial Garden by having a tree planted in his honor because he has created the Tim Tebow Foundation, does acts of service for the greater good, and is dedicated to what he does. To start off, Tebow has created an incredible organization called the Tim Tebow Foundation. This foundation serves children that are struggling to fight for themselves. The program has a very special event called “Night to Shine.” Night to Shine is dance all around the world sponsored by Tebow's foundation. In 2018, there was 537 churches nationwide and in 16 countries with 175,000 volunteers to create a prom that 90,000 guests would never forget. These guests were people with special needs that would have extraordinary time feeling special centered around God’s love. Not only that, but he has created many orphanages to help over 650 kids around the world. In addition to the orphanages, hospitals have been built to help children with no charge like in the Philippines where he spent time growing up at...

...Tim Tebow is a well-known Christian football player. Tebow is a quarterback who has played for the Denver Broncos and New York Jets. He is also well-known for the action “Tebowing” which is to get down on a knee and start praying, even if everyone else around you is doing something completely different (Tebowing, 2011). Along with “Tebowing” he also writes scriptures specifically Philippians 4:13 on his glare strips. To Tim Tebow “Tebowing” is a way humbling himself, he said he “Tebows” “because that's a form of humbling yourself. I want to humble myself before the Lord and say thank you for this opportunity. Thank you for letting me play the game I love. Whether I'm good or bad, whether I'm the hero or the goat, whether I score four touchdowns or throw four interceptions, that will still be the same person, honoring the Lord."(Kumar, 2012). Tebow likes to look at it in a way that whether you are going to do good or bad all eyes are watching and he uses “Tebowing” as a way to take a moment and block out everything around him to thank the Lord (Kumar, 2012). Along with “Tebowing”, when a camera man in the locker room said “Jesus Christ” Tebow responded “He loves you”. Though Tebow does “Tebowing” for himself, he is in public when he “Tebows”. The audience goes from himself to those who are watching him. Due to social media, viewer’s and participation on the Tebowing website, an audience of 785 jumped to over 390,000 in just a few days (Tebowing, 2011). Photos range from fans striking...

...to a winning record in only his second season. The experts said that he couldn’t even be an NFL quarterback. They said he was the third best quarterback on Denver’s roster at the beginning of the season. Tim Tebow doesn’t care what the experts say, and is proving them wrong every week he starts under center for the Denver Broncos. A sub-par quarterback winning games is not the only reason Tebow has been getting all of the hype. Tebow is a devout Christian and takes every opportunity to share his Christian values. Some are offended by this, and others think that it just adds to the legend in the making that is Timothy Richard Tebow. Tebow is not a loser, he just doesn’t do it. In college he won two BCS National Championships and led the gators to an impressive 34-5 record as a starter. While at the University of Florida he also became the first sophomore to ever win the Heisman trophy. After graduating from the University of Florida, many doubted his talents as an NFL quarterback and rightfully so, who wanted a quarterback who was a better runner than passer and who was highly...

...Should College Athletes Be Paid? Should College Athletes Be Paid? College athletes should be paid to play for many reasons. First of all, college athletes aren’t allowed to work. How are they going to pay for all the necessary expenses if they come from poor families? This also leads to players accepting illegal money, cars, clothes, etc. College athletes bring in millions of dollars through merchandise and games. Most of the athletes that have the opportunity to leave school and turn professional do so, because college athletes live in near poverty. Since college athletes are not allowed to work, even if they have the extra time to do so, they have to sacrifice meals, new clothes, and other necessary items in order to save money for they future. Some of the players who receive no money from their families accept illegal offers in order to buy necessary items. Most college athletes don’t turn professional, so the athletes won’t have any working experience when they get into the real world. This would give the non-athletes and an advantage in the working world over the athletes. College athletes bring in millions of dollars to their schools. For example, the University of Miami received about 8 million dollars for the Miami Hurricanes playing in the Nokia Sugar Bowl. The apparel also brings in a lot of money by selling hats, footballs, and jerseys. Also the Orange Bowl holds over 60,000 people and they sell tickets at an average of 20 dollars each.

...With these developments, it is obvious that conflicts between parties of different nationalities occur and liability to tax on income of foreigners especially among those engaging in trading venture. Whilst the laws affecting domicile and residence may be sufficiently settled, it is paramount for courts to pursue a detailed analysis to ascertain specific preliminary issues so as to avoid controversial rulings. Courts often handle numerous financial cases that involve what can be best described as foreign or international elements. In such cases, court must decide whether it has the jurisdiction under the Family Law Act 1975 to make a decision on such cases. In the event that it is determined that the court is invested with the jurisdiction to determine the case, the court has to consider whether there is a system of law in foreign country that also has the jurisdiction to handle the case. As it was addressed in the case Attorney General of New Zealand v Ortiz [1984] AC 1, these benefits and costs to either party if the case resolution is made in foreign country as compared with the apparent country should also be a subject of concern.

For instance, California and Massachusetts in the United States have adopted community property regimes that support equal division of assets upon divorce. However, this provision...

...Adapted from Bernhardt & Kinnear (1988). Cases in marketing management, pp. 6-16. Plano, TX: Business Publications, Inc. Pay careful attention to the following points. They are often used by instructors to evaluate either a written or oral analysis. 1. Be complete. Each area of the situation analysis must be discussed, problems and opportunities identified, alternative presented and evaluated using the situation analysis and relevant financial analysis, and a decision must be made. An analysis that omits part of the situation analysis or only recognizes one alternative is not a good analysis. Second, each area must be covered in-depth and within insight. 2. Avoid rehashing case facts. Every case has a lot of factual information. A good analysis uses facts that are relevant to the situation at hand to make summary points of analysis. A poor analysis just restates or rehashes theses facts without making relevant summary comments. 3. Make reasonable assumptions. Every case is incomplete in terms of some piece of information that you would like to have. A good case analysis must make realistic assumptions to fill in the gaps of information in the case. For example, the case may not describe the purchase decision process for the product of interest. A poor analysis would either omit mentioning this or just state that no information is available. A good analysis would attempt to present this purchase decision process by classifying the product and drawing upon real life...

...are given. It is understandable then that we should seek out more opportunities to apply our skills and make more positive impacts within our jurisdictions. It is this general attitude that led us to get involved in investigating cold cases. How We Got Started Mark had, for several years, been consulting with our Coroner’s Division as a forensic anthropologist. During this time he came to learn that there were numerous coroners’ cases in which the identity of the decedent was unknown. These cases were kept in three-ring binders on a shelf in the Sergeant’s office. Over the years, in the course of this forensic work, we would discuss these cases and the progress that was being made on them. The conversation usually ran along the lines of us asking “any luck with that 1980 homicide victim?” and the sergeant answering “well, we’ve gotten so many new cases that I haven’t been able to even look at it yet.” This went on for a few years and through two different sergeants. One day we, as a crime analysis unit, were brainstorming about how we could broaden our “client base”, as it were. We had been successful in integrating ourselves into our Investigations Bureau and had been involved in numerous major cases. And, of course, we had always been active in producing tactical and strategic analyses for our patrol personnel. But we knew that we could be doing more, particularly given the size and responsibilities of our agency. It was during...

...BUSINESS CASE Presented to the Accountancy Department De La Salle University In partial fulfillment Of the course requirements In ACCTBA2 (C33) March 2, 2015 A stakeholder is typically concerned with an organization delivering intended results and meeting its financial objectives. In general, a stakeholder can be one of two types: internal (from within an organization) or external (outside of an organization). The stakeholders in this situation are Lanie Marquez and Tim Rodriguez who are also partners in the retail distribution business and their capital contributions are as follows P500,000 and P300,000 respectively they are an internal stakeholder since they are also the owners. The total Capital of both stakeholders is P800,000 and with a monthly salary for both partners at P15,000 on the assumption that both of them will contribute to manage the business equally. Assuming that both managed the business equally the total salary for the year for Lanie and Tim are P180,000 each. They share profit and loss equally and no interest will be given on capital contributed. The problem for this situation is that Lanie is starting to get concerned with the behavior of her other partner Tim. He only manages the business 50% of the time, which will mean that his salary of P15,000 will need to decrease by also 50% since he does not manage the business equally with his partner. The business has seen a downturn in the profit outcome and for the current financial...

... Many people wonder why their own teeth stain so easily. The enamel on your teeth and chromogens are what stains your teeth, but what exact beverage stains teeth the most? I chose this topic because I was curious to know what stains teeth the most. It affects us daily because it could rot your teeth or you can’t pick up hot chicks anymore. So what causes teeth to stain? The temperature causes teeth to expand or contract making it easier for stains. So hot and cold drinks affect that. Color in foods and beverages come from chromogens. Chromogens are intensely pigmented compounds that stick to teeth enamel. Chromogens cause a lot of trouble when they mix and react with other stain causing and stain promoting factors. Tannis may be natural or synthetic tannis is another factor that stains teeth. Tooth enamel is porous making it extremely susceptible to stains. The darker the liquid the darker the stain. There are some examples that stain teeth. Not only sodas bad but also Gatorade. Beets are bad for you also. Mostly cause they’re concentrated. Berries dark skins stain teeth. Ketchup is also really bad because of its bright red color and high levels of acid. Dark liquids and sauces you put on your foods also stain teeth. Colored candy and popsicles both contain colorants that will transfer to the teeth and embed in the porous enamel. Fruit juices, especially grape and cranberry, leave a colorful tinge on the teeth and tongue. Colored sodas instantly discolor teeth. The citric acids...

...efficient investigative products and services. As a result, the coverage requirements for ANACI and NACLC investigations have been enhanced to support a common content baseline for all agencies. Note that these enhancements apply only to those ANACI and NACLC cases submitted on an SF 86. The purpose of this FIN is to provide you with information concerning what case coverage changes have been made. The case price adjustments necessary to support these changes will be reflected in the FY 2007 case prices. ANACIINACLC Cases Currently, listed and developed issues which are identified in ANACI and NACLC cases (for non-DoD customers) are not pursued beyond the normal scope of the investigation. These cases are returned to the requesting agency so that the agency may decide whether to adjudicate the case based upon the information in hand, conduct additional follow-up themselves, or request a Reimbursable Suitability Investigation (RSI) from FISD to cover the additional issues. Beginning with FY 2007, expansion of these issues will become a standard part of both the ANACI and NACLC products. Effective October 1, 2006, issues apparent at scheduling or developed during the course of the investigation and which fall within the 5-year case coverage period, unless otherwise noted, will be expanded upon according to the following chart (exception: issues which are known to have been covered in previous investigations, or which would reasonably have been expected to...
