...The desirability of Whistler Blackcomb and Sochi as winter and summer destination resorts. We can think of Whistler Blackcomb and Sochi as winter and summer destination resorts by having in our mind one historical event for the year 2010 when the Vancouver Olympic Winter Games started in the westernmost province of British Columbia and recently launched the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics. It makes sense to organize Olympic Games on the territories that can serve as winter and summer destination resorts. Why? To answer this question let’s consider the geography and all necessary infrastructures needed and designed to carry out the whole bunch of sport venues. Host country’s Organizing Committees are responsible for installing necessary infrastructures for organizing the Olympic Games such as Olympic Villages, air-supported domes, stadiums, training ice rinks and other facilities for competing during the games. It also assists with medical services, lodging facilities, means of transportation for the athletes and officials. For organizing Winter Olympic Games which includes alpine skiing, luge, ski jumping host county’s geography should provide mountain chains, and for Summer Olympics that include canoe sprint, canoe slalom or sailing, geographically the country needs ocean, seas and lakes. As it is mentioned in our case, Whistler is a resort town with nearly 10,000 permanent residents and has two million visitors annually. It served as the designated site of Olympic events.

...Some people think that distant learning is the perfect alternative to traditional education. Due to advancements in technology nowadays we have a possibility to choose between learning via the internet and attending schools. According to some experts, distance learning has effectively facilitated academic education and society should refuse from the traditional school attendance. However not everybody agree with it. In my opinion, we should to learn in the traditional form of education. First of all, it is vitally important that schooling makes students more self-disciplined and sociable. Studying in school provide students with numerous opportunities to interact with tutors as well as their peers, which tend to increase their interpersonal and social skills. Secondly, extra-curricular activities, such as various hiking, sport competitions, offered by traditional schooling, not only teach students how to compete and compromise, but also improve their mental and physical health. On the contrary, there are people who believe that distant learning is much better than traditional education. They insist that distance learning helps the disabled to receive education at home. Nevertheless, let us consider this issue from another angle. I am sure that the impacts of distance learning are generally detrimental, because using Internet can reduce our vision, students have low physical activity, which can lead to serious diseases. Taking into consideration all mentioned above, I think...

The problem is that the tourist destination is strangely empty. There are numerous store fronts that are empty and unfinished hotel rooms. Sochi built and refurbished 43,000 new hotel rooms, and created a new highway and rail system to ferry stadium size volumes of visitor’s in. it has a giant gondola system that carries spectators to the mountain venues. The Olympic venues at Sochi have mostly won rave reviews. Even though the weather is spectacular, transportation is running smoothly, there is not a lot going on there. Past places that have held Olympic Games have had huge prosperity in months and years after the games had left. Sochi is hoping for that same action to take place with all its slopes, restaurants, bars, and nightlife. Many think that perhaps Sochi is overbuilt. It houses a giant entertainment center, a mall, skating rink, aqua park with slides, water geysers, bowling alley and 12 swimming pools. They build a $371 dollar amusement park with many roller coasters and thrill rides that stand unused behind locked gates. To start helping the stories, restaurants and resorts generate some inflow, Sochi will host the G-8 Summit in June and the Formula One Grand prix in October.

...Lacey Lehman February 10, 2014 Comp Lit 8 MSW ASSIGNMENT 11 © stocklight / Shutterstock.com © stocklight / Shutterstock.com American snowboarder Shaun White won Olympic gold medals in the half pipe event in 2006 and 2010. White’s thick mop of red hair and repertoire of gravity-defying tricks earned him the nickname “the Flying Tomato.” Born on Sept. 3, 1986, in San Diego, Calif., White grew up in nearby Carlsbad. He survived a heart defect that required two operations when he was an infant. Despite his early health problems, he was soon skateboarding, surfing, skiing, and playing soccer (association football). He took up snowboarding at age six and the next year won his first competition. He became a phenomenon on the amateur circuit, claiming five national titles, and turned professional at 13. After making his Winter X Games debut in 2000, he went on to rack up five slope style titles (2003–06, 2009) as well as five super pipe titles (2003, 2006, 2008–10). At age 15 White fell 0.3 point short of qualifying for the U.S. team for the 2002 Winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake City, Utah. Undeterred, he dominated the professional circuit for the next two years, and when qualifying began for the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy, he won the halfpipe in all five of the Grand Prix events that determined team selection. At Turin, White clinched the gold medal on his first run of the finals, when he performed two 1,080° (three full spins) airs on the frontside of the pipe and...

I graciously accept the appointed board member position with great integrity and plan to maintain the company’s great successes for this year and the future. While Walmart is a well renowned super store, it has been scrutinized for its labor rate as well as its overall unfair treatment of employees. The scrutinized label of this establishment allows me to offer an alternative perspective and therefore propose a solution to preserve the Walmart name. The possible future operations and procedures which I would like to see changed within each practicing Walmart is related to employee’s salary, pay, manufacturing and labor. My proposals incorporate much consideration in regards to maximizing the return to shareholders, providing for employees and serving the larger community and overall society as a whole. My considerations and proposals will also serve the consumer portion of the community because when employees are satisfied, customers are satisfied. Previous to my appointed role as a board member for this company, I made assumptions regarding the way Walmart operates and functions as a business. Walmart has always been about saving, which in my mind is not only great for the people, but it is great for business. It is great for the people because the goods that...
