...Crystal Carter Ms. Reynolds DC History 20 March 2016 The structure of Washington, DC.'s city government has changed several times since the City of Washington was officially granted a government in 1802. From 1802 to 1812, the mayor was appointed by the President of the United States. Washington's first mayor was Robert Brent, appointed in 1802 by Thomas Jefferson. As time progress, the city's mayors were selected by a city council, popularly elected, etc. The purpose of a mayor varies across the country. Some cities are run by city councils who appoint a city manager. Others are run by a mayor, who is usually elected by the citizens. Mayors may have strong or weak powers, depending on the position given by the council. A mayor with strong powers makes executive decisions and has veto power over council decisions. On the other hand, when the city council makes executive decisions, the mayor has no veto power. From 2007 to 2011, Adrian Malik Fenty served as the sixth mayor of the District of Columbia. Many believe Fenty was an outstanding mayor and that the work he completed is legendary. Currently, Muriel Elizabeth Bowser serves as the eighth Mayor of the District of Columbia. Although Fenty benefited the nation’s capital in tremendous ways, Mayor Bowser has attempt to escape his shadows by decreasing the unemployment rate, increasing police presence in communities, and creating pathways for the middle class. During Fenty’s tenure, he added police officers...

...When Carol Teinchek and Bruce Marshall first started Sundown Bakery, the business was fairly simple. Carol ran the shop up front, while Bruce ran the bakery and ordered supplies. When the business began to grow, Carol hired two part-time clerks to help out in the shop. Marina had moved to the country 2 years ago from El Salvador, and Kim was a newly arrived Korean who was working his way through college. Bruce hired Maurice, a French Canadian, as an assistant. The ovens were soon running 24 hours a day, supervised by Maurice, who was now master baker, and two assistants on each of three shifts. Marina and Kim supervised the shop, since Carol was usually too busy managing general sales distribution to spend much time with customers. Bruce still spent 3 or 4 hours a day in the bakery whenever he could get out of his office, but he spent most of that time coordinating production and solving problems with Maurice. Within the next year, Sundown expanded from its original location, adding two new shops as well as two kiosks in local malls. Carol and Bruce hired a new operations manager, Hans Mikelson, who had formerly been regional manager of a national chain of coffee shops. Mikelson had plenty of new ideas about how to operate an expanding business: He had a Web site created, added an extensive range of drinks and meal items to the menu, and instituted two dress codes—one for all counter help and another for kitchen employees...

...1a) Descriptions of governments can be based on: Economy - what provides the goods and services that are bought, sold, and used? Capitalism-(Russia)--In a capitalist or free-market economy, people own their own businesses and property and must buy services for private use, such as healthcare Socialism (Norway)-- Socialist governments own many of the larger industries and provide education, health and welfare services while allowing citizens some economic choices Communism (Cuba)-- In a communist country, the government owns all businesses and farms and provides its people's healthcare, education and welfare. Politics - how is the government run? Dictatorship (Iraq)-- Rule by a single leader who has not been elected and may use force to keep control. In a military dictatorship, the army is in control. Usually, there is little or no attention to public opinion or individual rights. Totalitarian (China)-- Rule by a single political party. People are forced to do what the government tells them and may also be prevented from leaving the country. Theocracy (Iran)-- A form of government where the rulers claim to be ruling on behalf of a set of religious ideas, or as direct agents of a deity. Monarchy (Jordan)-- A monarchy has a king or queen, who sometimes has absolute power. Power is passed along through the family Parliamentary (Israel)-- A parliamentary system is led by representatives of the people.

...Running head: ETHNIC GROUPS AND DISCRIMINATION SCOTTISH 1 Ethnic Groups and Discrimination ETHNIC GROUPS AND DISCRIMINATION SCOTTISH 2 The first Scots began coming to the New World in the early 1600's, Emigration picked up during the Cromwellian Civil War in Britain, as many Scots from both sides were transported to the American Colonies in the mid-1600’s. The Jacobite rebellions of 1715 and 1745 also saw numbers of Scotsmen transported to America, as did the Highland Clearances which came somewhat later. Scottish emigrants who had gone to Northern Ireland as colonists of the Ulster plantations in the first half of the 16th century also immigrated to America in the early 1700's. These people, who were referred to as the "Scotch-Irish" were by far the most numerous group of Scottish Colonists to come to America. Between 1715 and 1776 some 250,000 of them arrived, mainly in the Chesapeake Bay region, and settled all along the east coast, particularly in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Virginia, North and South Carolina and later in Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma, and beyond. A second wave of Scottish immigration came during the late 1800's and most of these Scots settled in the northeastern U.S. in the larger industrial cities, and included such worthies as Andrew Carnegie and Alexander Graham Bell. (Craig Cockburn) Some were transported; they...

Theory: - [pic] Networking Basics • computers running on the Internet communicate to each other using either Transmission Control (TCP) or the User Datagram (UDP) protocol • when we write Java programs that communicate over the network, we are programming at the application layer • however, to decide which Java classes our programs should use, we need to understand how TCP and UDP differ UDP (User Datagram Protocol) • connectionless - sends independent packets of data, called datagram, from one computer to another with no guarantees about arrival • each time a datagram is sent, the local and receiving socket address need to be sent as well TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) • connection-oriented - provides a reliable flow of data between two computers _ data sent from one end of the connection gets to the other end in the same order • in order to communicate using TCP protocol, a connection must first be established between the pair of sockets • once two sockets have been connected, they can be used to transmit data in both (or either one of the) directions UDP vs. TCP: Which Protocol...

...In other words, the population is very large, making a census or a complete enumeration of all the values in the population impractical or impossible. The sample represents a subset of manageable size. Samples are collected and statistics are calculated from the samples so that one can make inferencesor extrapolations from the sample to the population. This process of collecting information from a sample is referred to as sampling. The data sample may be drawn from a population without replacement, in which case it is a subset of a population; or with replacement, in which case it is a multisubset. A complete sample is a set of objects from a parent population that includes ALL such objects that satisfy a set of well-defined selection criteria. For example, a complete sample of Australian men taller than 2m would consist of a list of every Australian male taller than 2m. But it wouldn't include German males, or tall Australian females, or people shorter than 2m. So to compile such a complete sample requires a complete list of the parent population, including data on height, gender, and nationality for each member of that parent population. In the case of human populations, such a complete list is unlikely to exist, but such complete samples are often available in other disciplines, such as complete magnitude-limited samples of astronomical objects. An unbiased (representative) sample is a set of objects chosen from a complete sample using a selection process that does not depend...

...MULTINATIONAL MANAGEMENT COURSE OUTLINE (2007-09) The globalization of the world economy and the related liberalization of the Indian economy are radically changing the business landscape. The international capital flows into India have increased several-fold since the onset of liberalization; Indian companies are becoming multinationals in their own right--a trend certain to intensify in the coming years. All in all, multinationals are becoming more ubiquitous as an instrument of economic and business activity. The business leaders of tomorrow need to be trained today in the unique requirements of multinational management. It is toward this objective that the proposed course in Multinational Management is being offered. The course combines a number of sub-disciplines from the fields of social sciences and business administration. It is broad in sweep; its depth is pitched at the PGP level. The overall course is divided into four modules, as follows: Module I--International Business Context-- provides an historical perspective on globalization and presents a viewpoint on its future direction. It also covers some of the globalization drivers including international trade and investment and how they spawn multinational activity. The phenomenon of domestic and cross-border corruption and bribery, often an inherent part of such activities, is discussed. Finally, it postulates how countries and companies can develop competitive advantage and defines the implications...

Waiting to get served by the bartender that seemed to be moving faster than the light eagerly working her way down to me, standing, filled with people around me, pushing and rubbing their body against mine, sweating to slide their way to the front of the bar like which felt like touching a fish, wet and slippery. As I stand there in slow motion with my mouth slightly open the bartender pours the poison elegantly into the glass making my tasted buds tingle with excitement, like it was having its own party inside my mouth. I felt like a winner as I lifted up my glass with victory, flushing the liquid down my throat, which tasted like wheat with a slight after taste of an orange cognac, mmmmm delicious. Wish I could drink more of that if I wasn’t a lightweight.

It is a small shop in the college campus area and Myra is looking to expand her business to meet the needs of customers. In order for her to be successful in her new adventure she will need to consider the needs of her customers, use of technology, and competition with the new local competitor. Barriers to entry in the Hair Care industry are very minimal. When it comes to barbershops and salons, there are a few already in the area with a couple more potentials. High customer volume creates much competition in the market. The only barrier to entry is licensing. Barbershops and salons must have a business license along with a few permits (Barbershop Business Guide, 2014). The fixed costs are minimal and no special products are needed. Loyalty to barbers and hair stylists is moderate and incentives to use a particular provider are almost non-existent. The market is close to saturated and this particular area will soon become highly competitive. Threats of substitutes for UMUC Haircuts are moderate to low. II. FIVE FORCES ANALYSIS FORCE | EXPLANATION(Minimum 2 good sentences) | IMPACT (POSITIVE, NEGATIVE, or NEUTRAL) | AFFECT STRATEGY?
