...On November 7, a schizophrenic subway rider shoved a 49-year-old woman into the tracks of an oncoming train; sending her to her death. In what is the first lethal push in a subway since 2014, the victim and another woman were seen arguing on the platform seconds before the bizarre incident. The other woman had once claimed to have pushed a 27-year-old woman to her death almost a month earlier. Police took the woman responsible for the second-degree murder into custody. A schizophrenic subway rider, who previously claimed to have pushed someone in the way of a train, pushed a woman onto the tracks of an oncoming train. Nevertheless, Police are still trying to determine whether Melanie Liverpool-Turner had anything to do with the death of a...

...on the assessment of a high profile football club, Liverpool football club in the soccer industry. The purpose is to evaluate the financial status and performance of the club. Inclusive club financial policies were considered and examined to bring forth suitable recommendations for investment. The aim of this study is to provide a brief history of the Liverpool club. This financial appraisal focused on the clubs numerous financial record fractions such as capital structure and liquidity, market shares and asset utilization, investment returns and operating performance citing financial implications for the last five years. A document expression approximating the club's financial performance was generated (Williams & Hopkins 2011, pp. 160-174).

...whether to use the talismanic captain as a bit-part player from the bench, or as a starter from now till the end of the season. Gerrard is now entering the final few months of his Liverpool career, and surely there is a lot of sentiment from quarters of the Anfield faithful for him to play as much football for the club till he departs. However, since his absence Liverpool have been on a scintillating run of games having won 8 and drawn 1 game in the Premier League. The current squad is revolved around the dovetailing of Philippe Coutinho and Raheem Sterling and with the current set up; it is difficult to see Gerrard forcing his way into the starting eleven. The big question now though, is how does Rodgers tackle this situation? Will he be doing the right thing by using Gerrard as an impact substitute? Or, does he allow sentiment to get in the way of his decision-making process to start with legendary player? The answer is – to use him as an impact substitute. As bitter a pill that is to swallow for the fans; it is the truth. For so many years the team has looked up at Gerrard to bring them out of trouble. However, that is not the case anymore. The days of Gerrard pulling Liverpool over the line are gone, as he cannot keep up with fluidity of the current team. The kind of form of this Liverpool side is in suggests that Rodgers is building a team with a new identity; an identity without that does not revolve around their talismanic captain being at the forefront of everything...

...fascinating and main topic for discussion and exploration by the general public, the Media institutions are only too happy to help out in this reporting , of course with a financial cost to the public, but not necessarily with reporting truths or with integrity, within this essay I will demonstrate instances of inaccuracy through the research. There are many on-going debates into Mass Medias influences on crime and violent crime in particular, but is this a true reflection of the current culture crisis or a fabrication to sell copy, taking for instance the Murder case of James Bulger in 1993, after the then 10year old boys Robert Thompson and Jon Venable led 2year old James away from a shopping centre in Liverpool to a brutal /senseless and pointless murder the Media was instantly ‘all over’ the case , even though a murder of children by children was extremely rare the reporting of and style of reporting throughout the case was reflecting to the public all that was now wrong in Britain, The Sun instantly called for ‘a crusade to rescue a sick society’, a ‘breed’ of violent children , single mother parenting , and dysfunctional underclass families where being painted as those whom would bare these types of violent monsters creating one of the most widely advertised Moral panics of the 20th Century (Cohen, 2002).

What considerations did the court take into account in making the determination? Do you consider that it would have made any difference had the contract been on FOB terms? ANSWERS: 1.

...Catering. In the life of all cities, the railway station plays an important role in the day-to-day life of its citizens and thereby a constant effort has been made to keep up with increasing requirements of the concourse yet maintaining the fluidity of spaces. This report discusses the effect of a concourse layout and its relation with the urban context on the process of ‘navigation’ and ‘way finding’ in the system. Another aspect of railways stations is the way it fits into the urban system which determines the nature of the concourse and the way people interact with the space. Liverpool street station gives an impression of it being an enclosed public square, accompanied by way finding as an easy process and thereby the fluidity of space is maintained. A contrasting observation is made at Victoria station, where many visits can yet sustain an unfamiliar environment. A comparative between Liverpool street station and Victoria station in this area of study and understanding the integration of the concourses of stations into the urban...

Was he too focussed on his preeminent ‘position’ as a formal leader and not focussed enough on sense-making? Could the resilient questioning put forth in the Margolis and Stoltz article have changed the outcome of the situation? With these thoughts in mind, answer the following questions: 1. How could the resilience questioning put forth in the Margolis and Stoltz article have changed the outcome of the situation? 2. Based on your examination of the Peak Learning web site and the pa- rameters of its Adversity Quotient Profile, what adjustments would you have had to make in order to deal with this situation if you were the CE? Discussion Question Answer 1 Resilience Questioning Margolis and Stoltz give a framework designed to shift the mindset from cause-oriented thinking, which is inherently oriented backwards, to response-oriented thinking, oriented forward. Their framework builds on the four pillars of control, impact, breadth and duration, in the context of which they demand to ask open questions in a personal way that are...

...Section I- Case Summary • Across the majority of Europe, Dunkin’ Donuts, (the 64-year-old company), suffers from being well known. • As of now, Dunkin’ Donuts only has 150 establishments throughout Europe, small, compared to the 11,000 worldwide. • Dunkin’ Donuts has extensive plans to open an additional 1,150 stores across Europe. These openings will range from Northern England to Eastern Europe. •It was the second attempt by Dunkin’ Donuts to open up shops in the U.K. In 1990’s Dunkin made efforts to open shops but failed due to poorly chosen locations and inexperienced franchisees. • Dunkin’ plans on hiring corporate teams consisting of marketing specialists who are locals to the specific countries to facilitate expansion. • With plans to add much bigger seating areas, serving food on ceramic dishes, and allowing customers to enjoy free Wi-Fi, Dunkin’ will create a café-like atmosphere that will add to customers’ leisure. • Dunkin’ is budgeting itself by opening fewer stores in major cities where the rent would cost an abundance. • As European habits change, interest in an American-style coffee and doughnut experience has increased which has been overpowering the typical “tea party”. • Dunkin’ faces competition from coffee shops such as Starbucks and Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, as well as U.K. based coffee shops such as Café Nero, Costa Coffee, and Dum Dum Donutterie.
