...games are now fairer. The element of chance and luck has been almost removed. Sports equipment refers to a large amount of equipment which is used in sports. Starting with the bats, and balls, and rackets to the shoes and socks and glasses there are a lot of things that come under the umbrella of Sports equipments. About 25 years ago tennis rackets were made from wood, with ash, maple etc. leading the way. Later in the sixties metal frames were introduced. Today composite rackets are the rage because of the efficiency they offer in accelerating the ball across the net and in terms of the dangerous vibrations that lead to tennis elbow. For example Bobby Riggs with his 1939 wooden racket, would have no chance against Pete Sampras armed with an oversized composite racket with an enlarged “sweet spot”, although Bobby Riggs was an excellent player. The shoes today offer greater grip and have better cushioning which helps...

...9-801-096 REV. MAY 30, 2008 MICHAEL WHEELER Riggs-Vericomp Negotiation (A) Confidential Instructions for RIGGS ENGINEERING In this exercise, you represent Riggs Engineering. Your company manufactures and services sophisticated recycling equipment for the computer industry. You are trying to close a deal with Vericomp. It has expressed serious interest in acquiring one of your systems to reprocess solvents that it uses in cleaning the chips that it produces. Up to this point, negotiations with Vericomp have been handled by one of your colleagues, who is now out of the country. You have full authority to reach agreement—or to end the negotiation with Vericomp without a deal, if their representative insists on terms that are unattractive to your company. (As it happens, their representative is also new to this negotiation). The appropriate technology has been jointly specified by a team of engineers from both companies, and thus is not open to negotiation. There are, however, a number of important unresolved issues including price, level of service, payment terms, and installation schedule. In the prior negotiation, the following proposal was on the table (though it was not formally accepted by either side): Nominal price: Service provision: Payment schedule: Delivery: $5,000,000 Standard Back-loaded installments Six months from date of contract signing. If Vericomp insisted, you would reluctantly agree to these terms, but they are only marginally acceptable. You hope to do substantially...

...Size-up: Item | So What? | Hospital policy required supplier contract reviews every five years. | This is ridiculously long! Supplier reviews should be part of annual business strategy! | They have arranged site visits. | It’s a really important step in choosing suppliers. | According to Northeastern Hospital’s RFP it seems that dollar value is not the only focus of purchasing team. | That’s another positive thing about the supplier selection process in the Northeastern Hospital. | In the RFP, the weight of 10% has been assigned to site visit. | Site visit plays an important role in selecting suppliers; they should have assigned higher weights on this criterion. | Northeastern is a large hospital, which provided care for more than one million patients. | Managing the waste should be one of their main problems. | Problem Statement: How can Northeastern Hospital find the best supplier to benefit all the stakeholders-patients, people who live in Newton, Massachusetts, the hospital itself, the managers of hospitals etc. And meet the environmental requirement of the hospital? Analysis: Strengths - Good suppliers selection process, the fact that they have a rating evaluation system, Weaknesses – they only review the contact of suppliers every 5 years, they should review the suppliers each year to made sure they are in the same page with the hospital. Opportunities – by choosing a more innovative supplier they have the chance to gain some strategic...

...[pic] Fred W. Riggs: Contributions to the Study of Comparative Public Administration Howard E. McCurdy, American University [pic] In 1962, the Ford Foundation presented the Comparative administration Group (CAG), a special division of the American Society for public Administration, with one-half million dollars to study methods for improving public administration in developing countries. Public administration had passed recently through a period of widespread optimism about the power of administrative reform. Many practitioner-scholars believed that administration could be improved through the implementation of correct principles. Scarcely 25 years earlier Luther Gulick had suggested that experts were on the verge of discovering principles of administration as immutable as the laws of physics and chemistry. Scholars had rediscovered Woodrow Wilson's dictum that good administrative practices did not depend upon the type of regimen which they were practiced. The United States had achieved great success in reconstructing the economies of Europe and Asia through instruments such as the Marshall Plan. President John F. Kennedy had established the Peace Corps as a means of bringing "trained manpower" to less developed lands. With these trends to inspire them, scholars both prominent and apprentice traveled to foreign countries to share their knowledge about public administration. Many arrived in countries newly emerging from the grip of colonialism and struggling to establish...

...Big Mouth and Ugly Girl The novel “Big Mouth and Ugly Girl” written by Joyce Carol Oates in 2002 is a story about two American high school students who get very involved in each other’s lives by an accidental incident. Ursula Riggs is a 16 year-old high school student at a school called Rocky River High in the US. She is not like any other teenage-girl, but is actually quite a tomboy. She is not very popular at her school, probably because she is a girl with a whole lot of attitude. Ursula is a very sporty girl and has always been the best player at her basketball team. When she is on the field, she is a warrior woman. She does not care about anything but her own success on the team and she will practice any method to win a game. When she is in this particular state of mind, she refers to herself as Ugly Girl. When she puts on this Ugly Girl-mask, it is because she is aware of her own sensitivity and tries to stay strong by putting the worst label on herself. If she is already aware of the fact that she is ugly and an outcast, how can anyone else hurt her by saying these things? Ursula Riggs began to develop a womanly body far too early and that probably caused her to quit her swimming team. She was not comfortable with her new body and started to put herself up against the rest of the girls on the team, while they still looked like girls their age were supposed to look like. This feeling of being an outsider is a character trait that later on is essential...

...We AFFIRM in part; REVERSE in part; VACATE in part; and REMAND. Although the district court ruled in summary judgment that the First Amendment protected the use of the conversations in the reports, the appellate court reversed. The court decided the First Amendment would not protect the station because the reporter had full knowledge of the circumstances of the interceptions and with some participation concerning the interceptions. The U.S. Court of Appeals (5th Cir.) ruled that the television station, Dallas' WFAA-TV, and investigative reporter Robert Riggs may be civilly liable because they knew that recordings of a wireless phone call were made in violation of the law, but they nonetheless continued to use them. Because the U.S. Supreme Court has denied certiorari in the case, the Fifth Circuit decision will...

...Strategic Recommendations for Anne Ewers Regarding the Merger of the Utah Symphony Orchestra and the Utah Opera Company Nanette Riggs 288311 JFT2 Task 2 28 May 2014 RIGGS 288311 JFT2 TASK 2 A1. Financial and Leadership Strengths and Weaknesses of the Utah Symphony (USO). Financial makeup: The majority of income for the USO is generated through ticket sales, individual contributions, business and foundation giving, government grants, and endowment and investment income. The majority of expenses for the USO are orchestra salaries including related benefits and payroll taxes, as well as management costs, and fund-raising expenses such as bad debt charges due to pledges that went unpaid. Strengths: The USO has a historical budget of approximately 12 million dollars, with a net surplus of about $116,000 for years 2000-2001. The USO generates substantial revenue through strong ticket sales, resulting from over 200 performances on a year round schedule. Historically, this amounted to approximately 3.8 million dollars, with a projected increase in the coming year to over 4.5 million dollars. USO also realizes about 25% of its operating budget from grants, and while the amount is projected to dip slightly for the next year, it will remain close to 25% of the operating budget. During a time of financial hardship for the performing arts, the USO realized strong contributions from business and foundation giving of over 4.4 million dollars in the previous year, with projected contributions...

...A Reflection on : A Business Negotiation between Riggs and Vericomp By Rudolf Kennedy Khyriem [17937261] Business Marketing M.Enjeti This paper is going to inspect my own behaviour and present awareness, and demonstrates a reflection of my individual part with this experience. Before I emphasise or talk about my individual performance, I would like to explain and summarise the whole experience and situation. Before the actual preparation I had learnt that there are three stages of negotiation. 1) Build up criteria. Figure out precisely what the other team anticipate that we will do. Figure out what they need. Tell the other team what we are willing to do. 2) Acquire information about the other team. Never assume. 3) Reach a tradeoff that is satisfactory to both parties. Before the Negotiation we had a thorough plan to discuss and analyse the deal between Riggs and Vericomp. We did our research and prepare for the coming negotiation. Research and preparation is crucial in this matter as without proper preparation either team could lose track of the goal and end up making bad decisions or deals that might jeopardise the negotiation. This is a Negotiation not a contest where the best team wins. We were hoping to make a deal with Vericomp in such a manner that both parties come out of this deal satisfied. We were not going to swindle the other party over neither were we prepared to lose our goals. In order to prepare and be ready for any outcomes, I developed a clear...

...Critical Thinking for Success Shelly Butler GEN/200 March 30, 2015 Russell Prechtl Critical Thinking in Education and Daily Life Critical thinking is a process that is used every day, but without acknowledgement. We utilize all the steps in the critical thinking process when we do the jobs required of us, handle daily situations, or even when we attend school. All of us utilize the key steps in critical thinking in different ways. Emotion is a trigger that prevents us from making some rational decisions. In a group setting accomplished tasks are in a productive way, we have situations that cause difficulties in communication. If we all were more aware of utilizing the critical thinking process more efficiently, we would see more cases that had a different outcome. The Process of Thinking As a child, we are taught to learn from our parents what is right from wrong. Some parents give logical reasoning when preparing to educate the child better. A child is more likely to understand when given the reasons. When we reach the educational system, teachers, or professors, give us grounds for the lessons we are learning. We process all of this information by asking questions and analyzing the given information accurately. Upon entering the workforce, we have been prepared to utilize the critical thinking process to assist in accomplishing the tasks required. All of these steps taught aid in becoming successful academically and in your career. Researching critical thinking...

...The History of Women in Sports Throughout history, women have fought for equality against men, significantly in the last century, as women have taken on greater, and more equal, roles in society. There have been several fronts on which women have fought for equality and one of those cases is in sports. Sports history is filled with men popularizing athletics such as baseball, basketball, boxing, football, track, and many other sports. It is quite surprising to many that women, as well as men, should take credit for their effort in athletic competition. Women have been known since the 19th century to take part in sporting events when, back then, they were supposed to be confined to more prim and proper activities. Historically, a woman’s duties were to take care of the family, do all the domestic work, and basically enslave themselves to their husbands. Because of this stereotype, it was highly frowned upon that women were taking on a masculine role by participating in the sporting world. Throughout the history of human existence, athletic competition has been regarded as an exclusively masculine affair. In ancient times, athletic competitions were held among warriors to prove their fighting prowess or otherwise demonstrate their virility. The exclusively male origins of competitive sport carried over into the Olympics, where women were not allowed even to watch competitions, much less compete. However, a separate women's athletic event, the Heraea...

...------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- Representation is defined as a likeness or image of something, a definition that implies a visual component to this act. In terms of minority groups, such as women, people of color, all non-normative sexualities, the issue of representation is one that many film theorists and filmmaker’s struggle to contend with. Both the scarcity and the importance of minority representations yield what many have called " the burden of representation". Since there are so few who have the means and access to the "apparatus of representation", they are often burdened with the responsibility of "speaking" for their whole group. Furthermore, as Kobena Mercer and bell hooks explore in their respective essays about black gay men and black females, the perspectives amongst the subaltern are not uniform and universal. The problem with the "burden of representation" is to determine who is the voice of the subaltern and how to infuse it in with mainstream culture. In their essays, Mercer and hooks explore the perspective of gay black men and women, respectively, as spectators whose view has been shaped by their marginalized status and provide a context to tackle the problem of representation. Mercer and hooks use aesthetic and spectatorial strategies, such as oppositional gaze, in their attempt to provide these oft ignored spectators with an empowering perspective that will enable them to transform the...
