Even though the children play in the street it cause a safety risk to drivers that don’t speed or drive wreck less do to the children running in and out of the streets without looking for cars. The children are our future and they need to be protected. When a person is looking to buy a future home they want to see a nice neighborhood that looks respectable and not as if it’s a bad neighborhood. The appearance of a home in my belief can say a lot about the people who live there. Someone who takes care of their home for example pressure washing, not trash in yard, paint nicely applied. Also there are some resident that don’t have the money but the residents should do as much as they can. To give an example of this a resident in my neighborhood has fixed the garage door which is tilted half way closed and it’s not very appealing. The appearance of a residents lawn as well as home its self make a community. A yard or lawn care should at the minimum have the grass mowed. The plants should be not over grown or deceased. Living in Florida the grass isn’t always...

Most of these institutions exist thanks to donations made it by average people and not government assistance. Every day there is more people living on the streets and the help is simply not enough, even when these kind of institutions exist. The people which suffer of poverty even when we see them like a kind of dog in the street, they are human and they want a decent life like normal people. Is normal to say that those poor people are living on the streets by their own choice, but like I said before, that is ignorance. That people suffer a lot of things, even things that we never going to feel, for example the hungry . The sad of these situations is that most of these people is...

One of the example of the technology was the Goal line technology, which are also been called, Hawk eye technology that was manufactured by Cairos technologies and Adidas. Firstly, this idea was implemented towards tennis but the ideas was innovated and implemented in football industries. The sensor will be placed around the goal post and cameras around the stadium to detect whether the ball have already across the line or not. The introduction of this system was introduced in Confederation 2013 in Brazil and later implement in FIFA World Cup 2014, Brazil.

...Developing Project Proposals – Internet Exercises Part One: Based on the results of your search, find a sample proposal that has been posted on the Web. What Company or organization developed the proposal, and what objective was it trying to accomplish? The sample project proposal I found from the web was for server replacement (Proposal example, 2013). It was developed by ITHACA College as sample project proposal for Cheezewiz application. Cheezewiz is used by the Rodent students of the Ithaca College to support its research and teaching activities. Cheezewiz is one of the leading applications also used in the private field and it’s developed by Cheezewiz Authorities Inc. The Objective of this proposal is to clarify the project purpose and to gain approval to proceed towards developing the Project Charter. Their objective was clearly mentioned in the purpose and justification section of the proposal. Part Two: Evaluate the effectiveness of this proposal based on information you have studied in this chapter. Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the proposal. Are there any items missing from the proposal that should have been included? The author mentioned in the book (Gido, 2009) that developing a proposal for a larger company should be treated as project in itself. If the proposal is for large technical projects, it would be multivolume documents and it includes three sections such as technical, management and cost. The sample proposal I chose is not for large technical...

...Date: 2/18/2014 To: Heathcot-Lynn Foundation Board of Directors Subject: Overall Review and Funding Decisions of Proposals The Heathcot-Lynn Foundation has been an innovator in the health and safety sector for many years. Due to the popularity of this foundation the amount of proposals received is astronomical. In a perfect scenario, funding could be given to every proposal, seeing as how perfect scenarios are almost impossible to come by some tough decisions need to be made. My team and I have given much thought to the $3000 we can allocate across the four different proposals. Procedures The most important part for every member on our team to understand is what a good proposal looks like, and what it takes for an idea to be funded. After our team understood that idea they were able to analyze each proposal individually, so individual opinions could be formed to enable constructive input in the larger group meeting. Keeping in mind the evaluation criteria Heathcot-Lynn provided us; need for project, goal, project approach, cost, and impact our team got down to work collaboratively. Findings The first proposal submitted by the Skyline Coalition comes to us with not just one issue, but two. Right away it is clear to understand the need for, and goals of this project. The first problem arises when looking at the project approach criteria. The proposal doesn’t say how they plan on sustaining the prescription distribution beyond the three month time frame funding would...

...Proposal Argument Workshop: (R) 11/21 & (T) 11/26 Due: (T) 12/3 A proposal argument is one that pinpoints a particular problem and poses a solution to it. All proposals will call for action, focus on the future, and center on audience. The ultimate objective is to get something done. To achieve this, the solution should be attainable and well-conceived; furthermore, proposals should provide enough evidence to convince readers that the solution will actually produce the effects it sets out to achieve. A proposal should always seek to put forth the best possible solution to a problem. For this paper, you should pick some contemporary issue that interests you (for example, gay marriage), consider your own position on this issue (gay marriage is a good thing), pinpoint a major problem associated with the issue (should gay marriage be legalized?), and finally pose a viable solution to this problem (Yes, because…etc). In this paper, you should try extremely hard to emphasize your ethos. Why should we trust you and, by extension, the solution you propose? In addition, you should certainly strive to provide logical, well-researched EVIDENCE that will support your claim (logos). You must first acquaint us with the issue/problem and then explain why your solution is the best possible response to this problem. The majority of your paper should focus on the SOLUTION you are proposing and your proof that this solution will work. Requirements: Ø 5 to 6 pages in...

...“Disclosure of Certain Contingency Losses” Exposure Draft Critique Contingencies refer to existing conditions, situations, or sets of circumstances involving uncertainty as to possible gains or losses to an entity that will ultimately be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur (ASC Glossary). The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an exposure draft in July 2010 relating to additional disclosures relating to certain loss contingencies. FASB argues the necessity of this proposal arises from concerns of investors and other financial statement users relating to disclosures about loss contingencies under the existing guidance. Proponents argue that existing guidance does not provide adequate information to assist users in assessing the likelihood, timing, and magnitude of future cash outflows associated with loss contingencies (Exposure Draft, 1). Although the exposure draft intends to improve financial statement transparency, the balance between “issuing an improved standard must be maintained against possible prejudicial impacts that could adversely affect a company and its investors” (pwc.com) The first issue of the exposure draft relates to amounts that must be disclosed based on expert testimony. The exposure draft proposes the requirement of disclosing estimated amounts of reasonably possible and remote losses based on the testimony of an expert witness (Chadbourne and Park LLP). This disclosure is flawed and may be misleading...
