... 2 The Miranda v. Arizona was the biggest case ever in the United States. The Supreme Court argued four different cases because of the Miranda vs. Arizona case. These four different cases were heard and it was stated that 3 of the 4 cases had written statements that were admissible in court. In this paper we will describe the facts of the four cases, we will notate when they were argued, we will describe what lawyers argued what side, we will discuss the arguments of counsel about self-incrimination and we will write about why are the cases significant to a right to counsel and self-incrimination. Miranda vs. Arizona, in this case defendant Ernesto Miranda was 23 years old when he was arrested and charged with several crimes including rape and kidnapping. Ernesto Miranda was an immigrant that was living here in the United States of America. During his arrest Ernesto Miranda was notified of his constitutional rights, but in reality he wasn’t supposed to because he was not a citizen so he had no rights.

...success of Mayo, what does Mayo need to do from an HR perspective to maintain this standard of excellence? This case identifies the strategies used by Mayo to achieve excellence in employee and patient satisfaction. The case describes how this complex service organization fosters a culture that exceeds customer expectations and earns deep loyalty from both customers and employees. The role of HR is analyzed to explain how strategic HRM enables the organization to achieve its strategic business objectives. INTRODUCTION Mayo Clinic is the first and largest integrated, not-for-profit group practice in the world. Doctors of every medical specialty work together to care for patients, joined by common systems and a philosophy that "the needs of the patient come first."

For many decades, Mayo Clinic has been ranked as one of the top medical institutions in the world. Over the past few years, the entire health care industry has been experiencing immense challenges. Mayo is not immune to these challenges and faces the risk of losing critical components of its culture and overall tradition of excellence that have been at the core of its success.

...Supernatural: The Life of William Branham Book 6: The Prophet and His Revelation 1960 – 1965 by Owen Jorgensen 1 Acknowledgments: In a project of this magnitude, it is understandable that I should owe many people a debt of gratitude for their help. First of all I want to thank Pearry Green for his vision, his encouragement and his efforts in publishing and distributing these books. I also want to thank Saundra Miles, David Buckley, Jay Weber, and the other people who spent many hours editing and proof reading the six manuscripts in this series. Their suggestions helped to make this a better book and a more accurate account of William Branham‘s life. Also, I want to thank Steven and Kathy Strooh, who put these books into audio format for all those people who would rather listen than read. I must certainly thank those people who have translated these books into their native languages: Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Russian, Norwegian, Hindi, and many other languages. Supernatural: the Life of William Branham took me 17 years to complete. I was 34 when I started and 51 when I finished. To put that into perspective, my four children were in grade school when I began writing this biography. By the time I finished, three of my children were married and I had nine grandchildren. During the 17 years I worked on this project, my life had its ups and downs. I want to thank everyone who prayed for me during those 17 years. Finally I want to thank my four children—Benaiah,...

...SCENARIO: Gene One COMPANY OVERVIEW In 1996, Gene One entered the biotech industry with groundbreaking gene technology that eradicated disease in tomatoes and potatoes. As a result, farmers no longer needed to use pesticides when growing these plants and consumers were pleased to buy homegrown products untainted by chemicals. The win-win situation helped Gene One grow to a $400 million company in just eight short years. Accordingly, sharply rising stock indices on Wall Street indicate a growing interest in biotechnology. And leadership changes at the Food and Drug Administration are further enhancing investor confidence in the industry. At Gene One, the CEO and his Board believe that in order to keep pace with demand and realize conservative annual growth targets of 40 percent, Gene One is going to have to go public within the next three years. The time seems right, but the company needs IPO capital for new development, advertisement, and marketing if it is to remain successful. Working toward a 36-month maximum deadline, the CEO and his Board have devised a clear strategy with the help of key members in the investment community. It is their hope that implementing it will help Gene One realize its growth targets, establish the company as a strong competitor and show Wall Street that Gene One has the leadership and organizational capabilities to succeed as a public entity. THE PLAYERS Don Ruiz, Chief Executive Officer: At age 37, Don became a young entrepreneur...

...general contractor who had overall responsibility for constructing a building or remodeling it. But they could also bid on projects independently, especially in the public sector. By May 2006, John and Jean had successfully grown J&J from a company of three electricians to one of fifty-four employees. They took the company to 2005 revenues of $5.22 million, a 75 percent growth over revenues of $2.98 million in 2001. J&J prided itself on its reputation for good customer service as reflected by John: Our most important accomplishment has been customer service. We have built our reputation on integrity, responsibility and reliability. Even though we are not always the cheapest, when customers hire J&J Electrical for a project they know what they are going to get; there are not a lot of surprises. When we do have a bad project, we never have to go to court. Instead of letting it go to our bonding company or walking away from the project and going into litigation, we just fix the problem, take the loss, and go on. You don’t want to do that all the time, but sometimes you don’t have a choice. So, we’ve built relationships that way. We have the same clients that we’ve dealt with since 1987, and we have continued to build clientele. So, our plan has been to focus on service and integrity. Despite their success, however, the Abernathys were at a crossroad. Although J&J had experienced strong revenue...
