...From the reading I found that there are a few different kinds of clusters, identifying the one that is in line with Owens Corning company is a little more difficult than expected. Also, I’m not quite sure if I completely understand the nature of the correct cluster where discussing. The Owens corning company has a strong domestic cluster along with a growing global cluster. In the United States the domestic cluster is spread out throughout the United States and Canada. The have several divisions that are closely entwined with each other where one plant manufactures the materials and resources that is shipped to another factory for either assembly or further rendering and assemblies. There are further clusters that can or cannot be the right distinction for the Owens Corning Company. The geographical cluster to which you have particular interests in the resources, supply chains and transportation of goods and materials; playing a distinct role of how well a corporation will survive in that region. Michael Porter talked about the enduring competitive advantages in global economies that lie increasingly in the local things- knowledge, relationships that distant rivals cannot match. He discusses, when a company can source a materials from a distance through global markets and corporate networks available to any company, therefore essentially nullifies the source as a competitive advantage. Having more open global markets, faster communication and transportation should diminish...

...Trent Tucker October 20, 2015 Bank of America stadium is one of the most memorable NFL stadiums that I’ve ever been lucky enough to visit. The stadium is located in Charlotte, North Carolina and is the home of the Carolina Panthers. The surprise trip that I went on with my dad to see a game is one of my favorite childhood memories. It was December 18th and my sixteenth birthday was right around the corner. I came home from the boys’ basketball game, and my parents were sitting at the table with dinner ready. I noticed it was kind of weird for my dad to be home already, so I assumed that I was most likely in trouble. We ate one of the best steaks I’ve ever had and then after my dad asked me to lift my placemat. Still suspicious I thought, “oh great my report card came early”; Instead, I was given an envelope that had a birthday card in it. I opened the card and there were six small pictures that included, a plane, airport, Cam Newton, hotel, restaurant, and the panther’s stadium. At first I figured it was my parents trying to joke around with me, so I tried not to react. Then my dad asked me if I knew what it meant and I said, “What that I’m going to a Panther’s game?” When he said I was, I went silent because that was one of the gifts that I had asked for every year and never expected to get. After a long moment of silence, I hugged my parents and they told me that we were going with Seth and his dad on Friday. That was the start of a memory that I will have my whole...

...General Patton was an admirer of the M1 Garand (the greatest implement ever devised, he call it). The M35 2½ was what was needed to move those vast supplies when and where necessary. On the other hand, the M4 Sherman (in most of its variants, except for the British Firefly and quite possibly the Easy-Eights) was vastly inferior in combat capabilities when compared to most other medium tanks, and definitely all heavies. The M10 3-inch GMC, and the far better 76mm armed M18 Hellcat were fine vehicles but suffered heavily from the US Army Tank/Tank Destroyer doctrine, where only Tank Destroyers could engage tanks while tanks should avoid tank to tank combat, usually leading to disastrous consequences since the Germans failed to follow said doctrine. All this nonsense was finally scrapped and the M26 came to be. So, let's head to the T34. Revolutionary is an understatement when applied to this magnificent piece of Soviet engineering (hold your shots, Christie fans!). Just to mention some of its characteristics we could say that it was fast, well armed, well protected, reliable, simple, sturdy, easy to build, easier to maintain, sporting an amazing ground pressure ratio, easy to man by crudely trained Siberian draftees, economical, and to top it all handsome as hell. The first tank to have an all-aluminium diesel engine, which made it far less prone to burning at the first strike that the M4 Medium, Ronson, and provide a fantastic power to weight ratio (some 16 HP per tone in the...

...been all to benefit for a number of studios, including ours. Thanks to the glorious efforts given to us by the Marvel Studios productions of “The Avengers” and its preceding five films we are given a chance to continue introducing these great and classic characters to generations of the future and I believe that one that needs the most focus is a work that we've had in the cannon for a long time: “The Black Panther”. Due to the increased interest in the “Avengers” universe, over the years, bringing in new, classic characters that fit into the “Avengers” history will be easier than ever (and more than essential, knowing that Fox owns the rights to a large number of key players of the franchise) and a richly written and established character such as T’Challa is all the simpler to bring into the new Marvel film universe. Though, with the whole of materials dedicated to his story, it was a bit difficult to find one that would best lead him into the genre in the same way that Iron Man or Captain America were, but we found one: Reginald Hudlin and John Romita Jr.’s “Black Panther”. The story is very direct in its introduction to T’Challa’s ascension to the throne of Wakanda and the primary antagonist being his own usurpers, rival neighboring nations and super-human mercenaries sets the perfect tone to what should evolve into a new edition to the advanced fantasy/sci-fi hybrid of the current Marvel film universe. By covering the core pieces of the story in the earlier stages of the...

Davis was brought up in an all white neighborhood where segregation was seen in every part of her life. She learned at an early age about racism and the implications that came along with being black. Her high school and college years were filled with many accomplishments. In high school Davis got the opportunity to study at Elizabeth Irwin High School in New York City where she gained an interest in both socialist and communist philosophies.

This field is very new to me and that is probably my biggest fear moving forward with this program. I feel like I have to work a little harder than my peers because they are already familiar with the healthcare industry. I am very excited about starting something new and my journey is just beginning. I plan to attend medical school after I complete my Masters and I am hoping that this MBA program will help me grow as an individual in both the school and work environment. FIU is growing rapidly which is another reason I chose to stay in Florida and get my MBA as a proud panther.

...by the “physiological entrapments of white supremacy.” Verney supports this view as during this time, black Americans were seeking to “rediscovery their African roots… by adopting Afro-style haircuts and African dresses.” This showed that black people were not afraid to “embrace black nationalism” and for the first time show off their race and heritage with “new celebrations of blackness that had been absent from civil rights struggles.” It is clear from this, in just a short amount of time, how influential Black Power was on raising the spirits of black Americans and provided them with a new perspective that many arguably needed. Black Power importantly addressed the issue of black Americans on a local level and through the Black Panthers; they provided “useful practical help.” In 1968, as the “level of economic deprivation was high,” Floyd McKissick, leader of CORE, believed that the “growth of black...

...The Black Panther Party was created as an organization of a much larger movement stemming from the late 1960s, the Black Power Movement. The term Black Power began its popular use in June 1966 (Tyner, 2008). In 1966, the first African American to attend the University of Mississippi, James Meredith, was shot and killed during a one-man march. After the tragedy, the activist Stokely Carmichael encouraged others to continue Meredith’s march with chants of “Black Power” (Tyner, 2008). The BPM was built from the left residue of the Civil Rights Movement. The actors who moved into the Black Power Movement, even after the many achievements of the Civil Rights Movement, believed inequality still heavily existed and the best way to fight it would be...

...The Black Panther Party was founded in 1966 by Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale in Oakland, California. It’s originally name was ‘Black Panther Party for Self-Defense’ and would eventually become the biggest organized revolutionary group by African Americans in history. The purpose for the organized group was to not start a revolutionary war at first, but to protect themselves and community from the violence of police brutality. This would eventually be covered up so people wouldn’t know the real reason why African Americans were acting out of rage and anger, so it portrayed them as wild animals in the jungle. In this paper I will discuss the history and origins of the Black Panther Party, the change that it made to the African American communities,...

...just stayed separated and stuck with their own kind. However, this is not the case in the book Hillbilly Nationalists, Urban Race Rebels, and Black Power by Amy Sonnie and James Tracy. Different white and African-American groups, such as the Black Panthers and Young Patriots Organization, chose to iron out their differences and fight together for the higher cause. The story told by the authors about these organizations help to illuminate powerful issues at the time like unity, racial segregation and class differences. The book Hillbilly Nationalists is a captivating book that uses powerful imagery and description to get the realities of the issues at hand to the reader. It is a story about a fight for societal freedom and equality for different groups and their ability to come together and overcome any obstacle. Peggy Terry was an activist at this time, and though at a young age her family tried to put her down the path of racism and segregation, she emerged to be a prominent voice in the fight for equality. Her presence at the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) was essential for her rise to a lead voice in this organization. She was not the only one fighting for those rights however. Minority groups such as the Black Panthers, the Young Lords, and...

...of there was an explosion of ghetto violence that resulted in35 dead, over 900 injured, more than 3,900 arrested and over $46 million in property damage. The riots and damaging didn’t just stop there, weeks passed and more chaos was raised. Weeks after weeks more people were killed and many were arrested. The racial turmoil of 1966 spread to over 43 cities ending the summer with over 3,500 injured, arrested and dead. The number question that was on every white American mind was “What gave the blacks the courage to stand up after all these years?” The violence was always around when it came to racial problems and it affects everyone and everything that involve black Americans. That is why Huey Newton and Bobby Seale founded the Black Panther Party for Self –Defense. In Oakland Grove, Louisiana, young Huey Percy Newton didn’t grow up in the best living conditions. He was born the youngest of seven children to a low in-com family. When he was young, he and his family followed his father anywhere he worked, so his young education dealt with standing up for himself. That is why he was known as one of the best street fighters. However, even though he had it rough as a child he still had great education opportunities. He tried law school and many other academic studies but he wasn’t really connecting to it until he came...

...Anthony Smith Prof. Booker ETH 123, 06 September 24, 2010 After reading a couple of chapters I am interested in doing urban riots of the 1960’s. The year when the Black Panthers developed their organization in the interest of self defense among African-American people. The same year when Muhammad Ali won his first gold medal when he was an amateur in the lightweight division. According to the textbook it states that riots mainly occurred due to poor working or living conditions and also against race and religion. It also mentions how the Black Panthers originated in Oakland, California by two guys named Bobby Seal and Huey P. Newton and there main goal for creating this organization was to stop police brutality in the towns were African- Americans reside in. Not to mention that Cassius Clay also known as Muhammad Ali changed his name because he joined the nation of Islam. My Aunt lived in New York in the 1960 so I am going to interview her since she is familiar with the history that happened that year and she was 21 at the time. The possible questions I may ask her would be… was you ever part of any riots at the time and what specific details can u tell me about it, have u ever been to one of Muhammad Ali fights and do u know why he is seen as an idol, was the Black Panthers successful in reaching their goal and what insight can u tell me about their...

...The Black Panther Party for self-defense was founded in October 1966 in Oakland, California by Huey Newton and Bobby Seal. The practice of Malcolm X was deeply rooted in the theoretical foundations of the party. They used aggressive self-defense, feeling that Martin Luther King’s non-violent campaign had failed. The group's desires were equality in education, housing, employment and civil rights. Expansion: The Black Panther was first spread in 1967. By 1968 they had expanded to 19 different cities in the United States. By the end of 1968, the party had grown from 400 members to over 5,000 members in 45 chapters and branches. Civil rights movement: The group decided to use their constitutional right to carry arms to implement Malcolm X’s philosophy of self-defense. This leads to them patrolling the police. They did at a time when there was severe police brutality was common. Police forces would beat down and kill black people at random. The police forces would even recruit officers from the South to come and work in the Northern ghettos....
