...in dispute, the Uptown town council has passed an ordinance “[n]o person may drive a vehicle into a public park,” notice of such ordinance was posted at the entrance of the park in question, the ambulance driver responding to an emergency call in the park saw the sign but continued on to respond to the emergency call, a police officer observed the ambulance driver’s action and followed him into the park and gave the driver a ticket, and now the District Attorney would have us find the ambulance driver guilty of violating the ordinance. While we acknowledge the District Attorney’s point of view, we are not so easily swayed by these stipulated facts and feel that we need to consider the meaning and policy behind the statute. While the statute seems fairly straightforward, we find that it is the definition of the word vehicle here that gives us pause and seems ambiguous. We see the way in which we define this word could have far reaching implications and imperil the intentions of the Uptown town council when it implemented such an ordinance and therefore, we take care in our analysis. Our forefathers found it prudent to invest legislative power not in the courts but elected bodies such as Congress. Judicial review, as created in Marbury v. Madison, did not create a legislative stick for the judiciary, but rather allowed the judiciary to corral the powers of the...

...Baldwin’s essay entitled “Fifth Avenue, Uptown” focuses on the physical and mental state of poverty, displayed in the Harlem neighborhood in which he grew up. Is it possible to be poor mentally as well as physically? It is indeed possible to be in a “poor state of mind” in addition to living poorly. Baldwin mentioned there were are in his old neighborhood that had been “rehabilitated”. However, there were areas that appeared the same as when he grew up there in the early 1900’s. There were also people; such as the neighborhood shoe repairmen, who were still there sadly going about the same daily routine that he’s witnessed since childhood. These are a couple of reasons why I feel that Baldwin’s main idea is the physical and mental state of poverty on Fifth Avenue, Uptown Harlem. The intended audience for this writing would be a general audience, particularly ones unfamiliar with what it is like being an African American growing up in a poverty stricken ghetto. His descriptions are so profound and detailed, that it seems as if he is painting a picture for people who may not have ever witnessed such things. This is why I feel the intended audience is those who can be enlightened by his...

...Unit 2 – Cost Management AIU Online – ACCT310 February 24, 2013 Abstract This is a paper that will explain the difference between cost accounting and managerial accounting. It will describe the aspects of the philosophy of lean production. Also, those principles will be compared to those principles of a typical production. Lastly, recommendations for the reductions needed for Dr. White’s clinic will be given. INTRODUCTION Cost accounting systems are useful for managers to use when trying to figure out the best ways to determine the cost of producing and manufacturing their products. They help in ways to manage each activity done such as machine hours for particular business production tasks. The information obtained can also help to determine and evaluate the performance of employees as well as reward performance. The information provided by cost accounting tools can be divided into external and internal; which may make cost determination much easier. There are, also, different types of accounting for businesses. Specifically, managerial accounting differs from that of cost accounting. (Wild and Shaw, 2012). DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MANAGERIAL AND COST ACCOUNTING Managerial Accounting This type of accounting has more to do with the actual recording of a business’ financial endeavors. It is the recording of fiscal sales within the business as well as reporting them in the monetary statements. It involves the generation of advice from certain accounting tools that help in...

...Dear Ms. Lopez: Based on a quantitative and qualitative assessment of the current offer, it is my recommendation NOT to accept the offer of $22,500,000 for Uptown Plaza because there is an approximate 80% probability that the present value of Uptown Plaza will be greater than the current offer if you wait until the lease renewals for the tenants in question are in place (see Appendix A). The below assessment summarizes the downside, but more importantly in this case, upside risk of waiting to sell rather than accepting the current offer. There are 3 key factors that drive the present commercial value of the shopping centre – the probability of renewal, the renewed rental amount, and the probability of a new tenant in the event of non-renewal. Other factors include variability in monthly operating costs and future interest rates i.e., impact on cap rate. It is important that each factor be assessed individually at a tenant level, rather than applying averages which may mask key drivers. In the “base” case, where the assumed probabilities of lease renewal and new tenant are taken and fair market rental rates are assumed, the present value of Uptown Plaza is $23,844,000. This assumes a 9% cap rate and a 0.5% monthly increase in operating costs. Additionally, when In a “conservative” scenario, where all tenants are renewed at TriDev’s minimum acceptable rent increase, the valuation is still higher than the current offer ($23,226,000). However, due to the high probability...

...As Benshoff and Griffin put it, “men in Western culture are taught that it is their birthright to do while women remain relatively immobile in order to be the object of the male gaze.” This ideology is commonly seen in most media texts where males are typically seen in lead roles where they are depicted as functional compared to females who are represented as distracted and dependent on men. Whilst this argument is widely seen throughout studies about gender roles in media, it functions as the center of my argument about the depiction of women in the music videos of “Blurred Lines” by Robin Thicke featuring T.I. and Pharrell Williams and “Uptown Girl” by Billy Joel. Both videos revolve around the acquisition of female attention, which supports...

...The common definition for new urbanism is a type of urban design to develop walkable and socially active neighborhoods for people between housing and their jobs. I believe new urbanism as being this form of development that is similar to how cellphones came about. Before we had simple telephones in the house and then cellphones were made and then added with all these features that could link us with people from farther distances. With new urbanism, its taking a simple town and having it expand with sidewalks and strategic designing (little features) like front porches and detached garages to help expand their interaction with their neighbors instead of staying inside their homes all day. The way new urbanism helps to influence and promote social interaction is by strategically placing housing and its essentials in areas where social interaction would be at its highest. This new approach to neighborhood designing works because they can provide affordable housing with reduced traffics congestion and they can also develop social interaction with the towns’ residents by keeping everything close and easily accessible for use like parks and recreation facilities. One example that I believe stands out the most for architecture and design is the beginning of the walk on North Street from Fell Ave to Broadway Street. They absolutely redid everything to make it look more modern and welcoming to people to have them feel more comfortable to walk down the street. They have benches on both...

...You're one of my own children!" She is only able to think of the Misfit as her equal in the time of a crisis. O'Connor's upbringing in the South made her aware of the different types of Protestant religious crowds prominent there. One crowd might be called the "uptown religion." (Hayes 10) Hayes states that, "In O’Connor’s critical judgment, uptown religion became too easily a benediction on the southern status quo, its potential Christian injunctions muted by its commanding cultural dominance" (Hayes 10) The grandmother is a portrayal of an uptown religious individual, believing she is a respectable decent lady and anyone that is not like her, must be bad. It is only later, when her life is in danger, that she feels equal to the Misfit. O'Connor wrote that characters like this, "...Had, unknowingly, merely a “superficial” relation to Christianity, one that needed moments of unsettling crisis or violence to become more profound" (Hayes 11) Learning more about Flannery O'Connor's upbringing helps readers understand the importance of the portrayal of characters like the Grandma, the southern setting, and the conflict of narcissism that the...

...Uptown glamour, affordable prices This advertisement I choose is an ad for New York Color (NYC) makeup. This ad was from a teen fashion magazine. Anything glamorous gets my attention. Also, I really like makeup. So this ad really caught my eye. With the target audience being women, this ad in many ways makes the product appealing to female consumers who love an expensive look but want an affordable price tag. This ad uses details such as bold colors, wording, and layout, and strategies such as the lighting, affordability and attractiveness to persuade the target audience to choose their product over another. This ad uses details such a variety of bold colors to make the ad attractive and in order to make the consumer stop and take a second to look at it. The color makes the ad look very appealing and stand out in a crowd-in this case, stand out in a magazine with many other advertisements throughout the pages. One example is the products brand logo at the bottom left of the page “NYC”, each letter is in a different color. One letter is blue, another letter is yellow and the other letter is a bold hot pink. Inside the letters is part of New York City’s city scenery to emphasize the brands name of New York Color. Another example of the ads use of color is the way the makeup is displayed on the models in the ads faces. Bold red lips and bright eyes, really catches the consumers eye directly to the product. The stylist of this ad made sure that the right makeup went on the faces...

...personal leisure. However, despite the overwhelming number of wonderful areas within the city, we have created a list of the five best neighborhoods in Orlando. 1) Altamonte Springs - The Orlando neighborhood is home to one of the city's most popular shopping centers, the Altamonte Mall. The mall in Altamonte is undoubtedly the best-known retail hub in the city, but other lesser known shopping locales grace the streets of Altamonte, and offer visitors and residents a variety of shopping experiences. The beautiful Cranes Roost Park is a 45-acre European-style lake set park. The park grounds include a picturesque lake tower, an amphitheater, and beautiful cobblestone pathways. Buffering the picturesque lake park one will find Uptown Altamonte. The walkable uptown area offers additional shopping in a peaceful and relaxed atmosphere. 2) Baldwin Park The historically trendy neighborhoods served as a military base in past decades. Today, Baldwin Park is home to thousands of residents. With more than 50 mikes of walkable trails and pathways, and over 200 acres of park land, the neighborhood is a perfect fit for residents with an active lifestyle. The beautifully manicured lawns and mature trees increase the desirability of Baldwin Park real estate. Residents in the area enjoy access to several playgrounds, covered pavilions, a fountain plaza and other amenities. Additionally, Within the Baldwin Park area, one will find the Village Center. The grouping of shops and restaurants offer a...

...could attract many more tourists to the Mining City, according to the county historical preservation officer. Jim Jarvis, in a presentation Wednesday at the Archives, discussed various way of increasing tourism, like clearer, more unified signage, a more welcoming entrance to Uptown, and creating a heritage tourism council where members build a vision that sells Butte’s product — its history. Jarvis, who’s lived in Butte about 3½ years, said heritage tourism has been discussed in Butte over the past two decades, but solid plans haven’t really taken shape. Marketing, Jarvis said, has been the missing ingredient. Last year, a consultant helped update the 1993 Butte-Anaconda Regional Historic Preservation Plan. New plans include marketing strategies to attract tourists who drive through Butte — but don’t stop. Approximately three million nonresidents drive by Butte each year, mostly between May and October, Jarvis said. But less than 1 percent of those tourists stop. To attract visitors to “Montana’s Copperway,” Jarvis said it’s important to have a website, clear signage on the highway, and well-maintained historic features clearly marked by signs showing the way. Jarvis said his focus is on Uptown Butte. Plans for revitalizing the heritage on the hill could apply to the rest of Butte and Anaconda as well, he said.
