Discontinued Operations (2 of 2) 7 Copyright ©2016 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Investor Insight (1 of 3) What Does “Non-Recurring” Really Mean Many companies incur restructuring charges as they attempt to reduce costs. They often label these items in the income statement as “non-recurring” charges, to suggest that they are isolated events, unlikely to occur in future periods. The question for analysts is, are these costs really one-time, “nonrecurring events” or do they reflect problems that the company will be facing for many periods in the future? If they are one-time events, then they can be largely ignored when trying to predict future earnings. But, some companies report “one-time” restructuring charges over and over again. For example, Procter & Gamble reported a restructuring charge in 12 consecutive quarters, and Motorola had “special” charges in 14 consecutive quarters. On the other hand, other companies have a restructuring charge only once in a 5- or 10-year period. There appears to be no substitute for careful analysis of the numbers that comprise net income. 8 Copyright ©2016 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

What lessons were learned in the most recent wave of InsureTech? Not many other industries would attract such outside attention and funds when the average company has trouble returning its cost of capital. But the magic of insurance is that some companies massively outperform over decades-long timeframes. The #InsureTech movement has seen a lot of capital injected, but will the most recent wave produce highly differentiated businesses who beat the market average and become household names? What will InsurTech 2.0 look like? How should companies prepare for the future, and how should you as an InsureTech leader think about your own career? Join one of the industry’s definitive thought leaders as he shares his views. From InsureTech Connect 2019 in Las Vegas.

Student answer The French and the German were a bit different when it came down to decentralized and centralized characteristics. The French on one hand had very high forms of decentralization. One said by Alexis de Tocqueville "Decentralization has, not only an administrative value, but also a civic dimension, since it increases the opportunities for citizens to take interest in public affairs; it makes them get accustomed to using freedom. And from the accumulation of these local, active, persnickety freedoms, is born the most efficient counterweight against the claims of the central government, even if it were supported by an impersonal, collective will.” This shows us how decentralization occurred in France. On the other hand Germany focused more on centralization their value of though was a bit different. About 439 districts have adapted to the centralization characteristics while there were other districts in Germany that still opposed this ideology. There is still a debate whether to adapt to centralization or decentralization even till the year 2005, so I would say that try both characterizes and see what is best for ones country. There is never a exclusively correct answer to any power or characteristics however, one must find where they fit best. b.) Minimum wage law in Germany, France, Britain and the US were quite different. According to research I have found that in Germany construction workers, electrical workers, janitors, roofers, painters, and letter carriers were set off for minimum wage by the method of collective bargaining agreement. So basically in Germany you choose at what wage you want to work and its wage is decided for you, there is no set rule marked for what you will receive in the minimum wage criteria. On the other hand Britain, U.S. and France have a set minimum wage policy and this provides the nation with order and the workers with security, in case of economic fluctuation their pay will not be affected. c.) Germany’s rules about co-determination are for the benefit of the working class. Unions were formed and they gave the workers a voice and the power to decide what is beneficial for the company, and thus they can cause the profit margin to either go up or down. I am quite fascinated with this policy, for one if I knew that I will have a say as well as power in a matter of escalating at my work place I would work extremely hard and make my workers and company better. This will not only make the economy stronger but also the society worth of value. The board and the work place level gave the people of Germany a podium to stand on and shine. So if one had any concerns with any matter in relations to the company they can step up and voice their opinion. All employees in a private sector firm are not covered by work counsel even though the law required it because of employee relations is standing on collective bargaining issues so there is no cue in where there should be a clause of protection. Its one s.

Student 1 Random Student Mrs. Wilson Expository Writing 5 Dec. 2014 Technology and Video Games – Does The Good Outweigh The Bad? Video Games may actually improve cognitive ability by up to 20% over non-gamers says a recent study by The University of Southern California. Despite this evidence, Ed Bell believes, although admitting that technology has improved some aspects of society, that we do not know how to distinguish the good uses of technology from the bad. Ed Bell’s assertion that everything was better back in the “good ole days” is misleading. Although technology is sometimes used indiscriminately, as Ed Bell believes in Technology, Movement, and Sound; the benefit that technology has had on our society, I believe, outweighs the cons – although there are cons. Teachers in America are under constant pressure to improve test scores, and raise achievement, yet in a society tethered to technology, they are losing the battle to keep kids engaged. Ed Bell’s discourse about a leaf blower and noise pollution left much to be desired, yet his appreciation of the “good ole’ days,” may be agreed upon by many teachers. Back in the “good ole days,” teachers had fewer distractions from their instruction other than the occasional note-passing or whispering during the lesson. In today’s society, teachers have to contend with the constant struggle to keep kids engaged in more than the latest app or text from their friend or parent. The problem has become almost epidemic, leading to kids learning less in addition to impeding the progress of class. This sometimes makes it necessary to reteach what the students fail to absorb because they had their head in their phone during the lesson. Unfortunately, this is not the only negative effect technology has had on our society. Student 2 Although Ed Bell’s diatribe seems to wage war on technology, it is the message of inactivity that I think is the greater take-away from the article. For years, with the increasing presence of modern conveniences in our daily lives, society’s activity level has steadily decreased. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommends that American adults should get the equivalent of two and a half hours of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity each week. Children should get about an hour a day. With the popularity of games, and the advancement of time-saving technology, there is less of this activity than there used to be – but that is not all. With the advancement of computers and automation in the workplace, the American employee is not working as hard either – well, not laboriously, anyway. In 1950, thirty percent of Americans worked in high-activity occupations; by 2000, that proportion had dropped to only twenty-two percent, according to a Harvard School of Public Health article. Ed Bell’s article is seemingly mostly negative, but there are some positive benefits to technology as well. .

Introduction In general, cloud computing is the main concern for most of the organizations around the world because it makes their information available and reachable in any where they are. Actually it is a software resource that is delivered on demand as a service. There are different storages of cloud computing such as Dropbox, SkyDrive and amazon cloud drive. Cloud computing has many advantages like saving large files, back up of stored files, file sharing and access from different devices. The study was designed with an aim of creating a website that can help people in information technology (IT) lo learn through the website and at the same time make money for having knowledge in the areas that they are good in. With this idea in mind, we took advantage of Amazon cloud equipments such as servers, switches and other networking tools to create our own website. To design and create the pages, we used the Adobe CS5 which includes Photoshop and Dreamweaver then used the Amazon web server to upload and publish the website on the browser in order for it to be accessible to everyone on the browser. The researchers had an aim wanted to undertake this project so as to help people in IT help each other learn new things and at the same time benefit financially from passing their knowledge to other people. Goals The main goal of this project is to make learning life easier and at the same time make people more helpful to the other people who need helps in IT field. Furthermore, this website will give the chance to earn money from providing lessons to people who wish to learn IT. Another goal that we focused on is when some companies have workload or need some people to do they can just submit it on our website and contact with who is able to be responsible to do it. Why did we choose this project? We choose this project to be done in this course to implement .

Student answer A. (1) Use Mancur Olson's theory to explain the behavior of Angola's government, elite, and general public with respect to the CIF and CSIH's contracts. Angola’s government and political elite according to Mancur Olson’s theory are seen as distributional coalitions. Both parties have an incentive to partner with the CIF. China requires natural resources and the Angolan government and its elite want money. The funding is distributed amongst the group and society does not benefit at all. This behavior will continuously impede Angola’s economic growth. There is no funding for projects that create jobs to improve infrastructure. The general public suffers at the hands of this partnership. There is no trust of the government. (2) What is stadium diplomacy? How does it fit Olson's theory? A form of cultural diplomacy that China uses as a means to gain access to another country’s market. They are presented as gifts or constitute some sort of partnership between China and the host country. What developing country wouldn't want a newly constructed stadium? The return on a project such as this is assumes to be greater than the cost. That being to China shall we say. B. (1) Are there parallels between China's treatment of miners in Mozambique and Zambia and Eastover Mining Company's treatment of workers in Harlan County, Kentucky? Explain. There absolutely are parallels between China’s treatment of the Mozambique and Zambia miners and the workers in Harlan County. In both cases the workers were subjected to unsafe working conditions, unfair labor practices, and indecent wages. Fortunately, the Harlan County workers were able to strike and make a difference. In Mozambique and Zambia the state owned companies and the government swept it under the rug. (2) Use Olson's model to explain the Chinese government's indifference to Aolong's mistreatment and near enslavement of Chinese workers in Gabon. The main goal of the Chinese government is to increase its presence globally and strengthen its own economy. China has increased in economic strength over the past three decades. The workers that complained to the embassy regarding the treatment they received from Aolong was addressed as a nuisance. The Chinese government has a bigger incentive to turn a blind eye to the treatment of the workers. The cost of improving working conditions and overall treatment of the workers aren't seen as beneficial. (3) Is Chinese unionism up to the task of defending Chinese workers in situations like Aolong? It looks as those the state owned companies are protected by the government and has no incentive of changing its labor practices. Unfortunately, because of the relationship between unions and the government, the workers voice will not be heard. (4) Why haven't Chinese unions worked to improve conditions for non-Chinese workers in places like Zambia? Chinese unions have no incentive to improve working conditions for the non-Chinese worker. As long as the.

Student 1 Student Professor ENG 108 27 June 2014 Instruments of Fate in No Country for Old Men In this movie, No Country for old men, there are three main characters. Anton Chigurh of a killer, Llewelyn Moss of a welder and Vietnam veteran, and Ed Tom Bell of a soon-to-retire country sheriff. Each of the three men has the fate of their lives. Especially, some instruments in this movie play very important roles to decide the fates of Chigurh and Moss. In this movie, Chigurh and Moss are the completely different characters. While Chigurh is a cold-blooded and kills many people, Moss is a typical Amarican who is a Vietnam veteran, has wife, and fearless man. The only common thing between Chigurh and Moss is that money and gun strongly affect both of their lives and fates. Both of them try to get something they want by using guns, but finally the desires leads them to deaths. In this movie, money plays an important role as a tool for Chigurh to do coin toss. He uses this tool, or coin when he makes his actions and decisions. He often says, “Call it” to people and bets whether he kills them or not by the result of his coin tosses. For example, he says, “Call it” when he goes to a store and talks to an old man. Fortunately, the man wins and is not killed by Chigurh. This action, coin toss, shows us Chigurh’s power, which can control other people’s fates easily without any coherent reasons. We can also say that the coin toss is the way to escape the responsibility to kill people. The last time that he says “Call it” to someone is when he meets Moss’s wife, Carla Jean. Jean finds that Chigurh is sitting down on the chair on the corner of a bedroom. Although everyone is afraid of him and said which side of the coin, Jean denies calling the coin. Instead of calling the result of coin toss; she criticizes Chigurh’s actions. She says, “The coin don't have no say. It's just you”(Coen). She argues that he chooses his decisions, not by coin, but by himself. She wants to say that a coin does not have any power to change him. In this scene, many audiences may have the questions about Chigurh. For example, “why did he start to kill people? ”, “does he have any purpose to kill people?” and so on. Thinking the reason why he is doing coin toss, we feel that Chigurh is actually lonely and normal person who want to rely on something. It seems Chigurh is not like a usual human beings because of his behavior, looking, and talking way. However, he actually very looks like a modern people, especially Americans who are isolated rather than independent. American people are becoming to do many things by themselves because of the high technologies such as the Internet, and iPhones. Nowadays, people can find any solutions by searching the information on the Internet. Moreover phones can even hear people’s voice and answer their questions. The coin is like an iPhone for Chigurh, who does not have any relationship with others and want to rely on something. Although he decid.

Studding abroad has become a major priority to for the higher education sectors of many counties. Because studying abroad will make students advance in many aspects of their life. Studying abroad will help students to will help students become better in their life in many aspects it will cater their academic , personal, cultural and carrier growth. Education is the most important thing in life. Without education it is impossible to accomplish anything in life. Students who get a chance to study abroad should not miss this opportunity because it is once in a lifetime opportunity due to the benefits it has. One primary incentive of studying abroad is better education. Studying abroad ensures better educational opportunities’ compared to my home country due to a wider selection of study options to choose from. This will enable students to better specialize in their carrier that they chose. International education is also better because in many Asian countries the teaching method is more focused on theoretical knowledge more than practical. The result of this teaching style will make students gain a vast amount of information will no clue on how to use or apply them correctly. On the other hand the education system in west countries such as the united states will focus on both gaining knowledge and making sure that a student knows how to apply them correctly, so international education is better because it will make students gain a balance education between gaining a lot of knowledge and on how to apply them correctly, this will result in a balance and better rounded education. Apart from getting better education studding abroad will help make students more independent and will make them get out from their comfort zone and face life. It will also make students to face various situations and crisez that they have to resolve with the help of the parents. And students will have to manage their on money and manage their own life which will help make students more mature. For example when I was back home at Kuwait everything was managed by my parents, such as paying bills, buying grocery. And other life aspects were also done by other people, such as cleaning the house, doing the dishes and cleaning my clothers. All those things I have never done befor in my life because we have house mades which help to do the chores. But when I came to the United states by self and I have never traved befor. I came to a foreign country when I was 18 years old and never had any responsablity to do back in Kuwait. But when I first landed I knew that I was by self and I had to take care of my own self; I searched to apartments and rented one within a weak or two from arriving, I stated to pay my own bills for water, electricity and many other responsibilities that I had to take care of. I have learned in one month to manage my life and became mature and I am grateful for this. Other great aspect of studying abroad is that it will provide a great chance for cultural .

Student 1 Student ENG 1100 8 March 2015 The King of Equality Comment by Katie: Thoughtful title! On August 28, 1936 Martin Luther King Jr. gave one of the best known speeches in American history. When people commemorate the “I Have a Dream” speech, as it has come to be identified, they recall King’s powerful message about civil rights and the true meaning of freedom in America. In the famous “I Have a Dream” speech, Martin Luther King Jr. uses a number of rhetorical devices in order to match his word choice to the strength of his message. Numerous examples of allusion, parallelism, and anaphora are used as tactics to amplify the intensity of his message. Comment by Katie: Great thesis—it makes a clear claim and provides a forecast of your paper’s outline. King begins his speech with a reference to the Gettysburg address, “Five score years ago…” (King par. 2).The opening allusion is exceptionally moving given that King spoke in front of the Lincoln Memorial. King uses examples of allusions, or references to a person, place, thing or idea of historical, cultural, literary or political significance. Allusions can be direct or indirect, and are often used to broaden the reader’s understanding. The Gettysburg Address is not the only historical piece referenced in King’s speech; the Declaration of Independence is also referenced in paragraph four of the “I Have a Dream” speech. The speech reads, “This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the ‘unalienable Rights’ of ‘Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness’" (King par. 4). Martin Luther King Jr. addresses the Declaration of Independence in order to get his supporters to recognize the equal rights that they deserve as Americans. In order to provide an honorable basis, King uses numerous biblical allusions. Two examples of biblical allusions used in the speech include Psalms 30:5 and Jeremiah 2:13. King cries ‘It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.” (King par. 2) referring to Psalms 30:5, “For his anger is but for a moment; his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may linger for the night, but joy comes with the morning” (Dlugan, Andrew). Martin Luther King Jr. is expressing that the struggle for the black community was long and hard but the freedom they will receive will last a lifetime. Jeremiah 2:13 was also a biblical verse King evokes in his speech proclaiming, “Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred,” (King par. 8) referring to Jeremiah 2:13, “For my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me, the fountain of living water, and dug out cisterns for themselves, cracked cisterns that can hold no water” (Dlugan, Andrew). King is using this biblical verse to explain to his people that they must fight peacefully, without violence and hatred, and if they do they will be rewarded for their peaceful behavior. Comment by Katie: It may be a good .

Structure! Thesis: British politics were changed in such a fashion because the changes caused something. If these changes had not occurred, it is possible that x could have happened! Before the 19th century Reform Acts, British politics possessed a conservative, statesmanlike, and stable character. The Reform Acts introduced modern republicanism without significant disruption because the working class British that became incorporated respected British hierarchical society and the parliamentary system. Furthermore, many of the substantial social changes from the 19th-20th centuries occurred because of substantial economic changes, not political reform. If the franchise had not been enlarged to eventually encompass the working class, it is quite possible that radical political movements, such as the Charterists, would have gained a political hold.!! Bagehot and Government! Bagehot writes from within the period studied! Bagehot takes an aristocratic view of government! Ruling takes education, experience, and sobriety--this is what he calls “statesmanship”! Statesmanship! The job of the political elites is to provide sober judgment on issues! His condemnation of American politics largely rests on the inability of the Americans to reach sober conclusions on politically necessary issues! Because the President and Congress are in constant competition, there can be no statesmanship (37)! The introduction of the working class endangers this statesmanship! Bagehot writes, “I am exceedingly afraid of the ignorant multitude of the new constituencies.” (p. 17)! The introduction of the working class would require specific actions on the parts of the statesmen, and provide a real danger! However, while Bagehot is anxious about reform, he does not dismiss it out of hand -- it is a challenge but could provide reasonable results of the Parliament is followed! Was he right or wrong? Were his concerns justified?! Bagehot’s concerns are legitimate. The course of other countries’ attempts to reform would demonstrate that. However, organized, radical labor movements did not form in Britain! 1832 Reform Act! On its face, the 1832 Reform Act was substantial! It brought 10-pound householders into the vote! Functionally, this extended the franchise! In practice, Bagehot, argues, it was not so extreme! In the first place, constitutional changes take time to be discovered, as generational changes matter (7)! Most of the pre-1832 elites, such as Lord Pemberton, remained in power until the mid-1860s (7)! Secondly, England is a “deferential society,” argues Bagehot.! The newly-incorporated members did not participate directly in politics -- they remained shopkeepers (8)! “If a hundred small shopkeepers had by miracle been added to any of the ‘32 Parliaments, they would have felt outcasts there.” (8)! Parliament remained the space of the elite! The newly-incorporated did not vote to push their personal interest in politics at the national level! They voted .

Student #1 I have chosen to write about the history of data analysis for the Los Angeles Police Department. While I currently reside in Colorado Springs, Colorado and work as a deputy sheriff in Denver, Colorado I grew up in the greater Los Angeles area and I know that they should have a large amount of data to draw from. Currently the Los Angeles Police Department uses COMPSTAT to compile their data. They have a unit, known as the COMPSTAT unit, whose sole job is to compile crime statistics and analyze the data (Los Angeles Police Department, 2016) COMPSTAT is short for computer statistics. COMPSTAT was developed by Police Commissioner William Bratton in 1994 for use by the New York Police Department. According to the University of Maryland by the year 2000 over a third of police agencies with over 100 officers were utilizing some sort of COMPSTAT like program (University of Maryland, 2015). In 2002 William Bratton became the Chief of Police for the Los Angeles Police Department and brought with him the concept of COMPSTAT. During the first six years of his tenure Los Angeles saw a steady decrease in the cities crime rates thanks largely in part to COMPSTAT policing. Mean, mode and median play a large part in analyzing criminal data. The mean is the average number. An example of this for crime data analysis would be in neighborhood C there was 14 robberies committed on Monday between 1 and 3 AM, 17 robberies on Tuesday at the same time period and 9 on Wednesday during the same time period. The mean would be 13.3 robberies per night for those 3 nights. Knowing this is high for the city the data could be used to justify extra police presence in Neighborhood C. An example of the mode would be if in the same neighborhood in the same week there were 17 robberies on both Friday and Saturday, 12 on Thursday and 11 on Sunday. The mode would be 17 and it would also be a reason to add extra police presence in the neighborhood until a significant decrease was seen in the amount of robberies taking place. Finally we come to the median. This is simply line the numbers up for the week and take the number that falls in the middle. In the case of the robberies occurring in neighborhood C the number would be 14. All of this data can be combined to show watch commanders and captain’s areas where they should be focusing their officer’s time. If there is a neighborhood that has seen only one or two robberies during the week, it is definitely not in as much need of a heavy police presence as Neighborhood C is. Student #2 Beginning in the mid-1990’s, police in New York began to run statistical analysis of the city’s crime reports, arrests and other police activity known as COMPSTAT. Law enforcement agencies since this analysis began, has implemented their own data-driven approaches to tracking and adapting to crime trends. The LAPD is both heavily armed and thoroughly computerized. The Real-Time Analysis and Critical Response Division is its central processor..

Student answer (a) In US business unionism focuses on benefits to existing members, (opposed to other countries like Britain) employers’ organizations are not prominent at any level, however, employer’ organizations that seek to maintain unions away from employees have been prominent. (b) Diversity creates a wider range of variation employment practices, (to mention one factor) but Britain lacks such factor, in addition, the government does not support employment regulation as it happens in US. (i) New modernized methods of union organizing have been implemented such as intensive direct communication with prospective members through young well-educated organizers. (ii) In the US diversity has been a strong factor leading to wider employment arrangements. (c) (i) (i) according to Olson the likelihood of cross-national cooperation confronts different barriers such as, divergent interests, national differences in language, culture, law and union structure. However the potential exists. Student answer US employers are amongst the most anti union employers in the world because unions tend to hurt productivity and reduce profit margin. Business Unionism uses the principle that unions should operate like a business. It has been attractive to the US employees because business union jobs pay better wages than non-union equivalents. It is operated by employers and employees, therefore the interest of all parties is advocated. To expand union membership, the US confederation, the AFL-CIO tried to modernise and broaden issues that attract union members such as child care and equal pay. They have also used young well-educated organisers and involve extensive direct communication with prospective members and links to community groups such as churches. The union density plummeted in the US because of the split of the major unions forming a coalition called the CTW - change to win coalition. In the UK the fall was due to state labour policies, management resistance and workplace practices, changing composition employment and the labour force and issues internal to unionism. Non union personnel practices have developed the furthest in the US. Cross-national cooperation is possible through trade and treaty agreements. The major difference between liberal and coordinated is the ability to obtain capital without having to plead with a bank. The liberal has the access to capital via public markets such as stocks and bonds while this is not so with the coordinated. Olson will say that cross-national cooperation will break barriers and economic incentives such as increased trade will be gained. Student answer (a) The U.S. operates on "Employment at will" where employers do not have to provide just cause for dismissal, reasonable notice or severance pay on dismissal of an employee. The U.S. business unionism, focuses narrowly on providing benefits to existing members. (b) The AFL-CIO tried to modernize and broaden issues that attract union members, (.

This database is expected to provide the back-end architecture for a front-end web application with an intuitive User/Interface (U/I) to be used by the university HR department. We’ve decided to use Microsoft SQL Server 2012 given the nature of data to be stored because it will be more secure, and it also provides a suite of server maintenance tools to be left behind with the IT Department once the database and web application have been tested and accepted by university stakeholders. During our preliminary meetings, CTU’s requirements were defined and adequately scoped to begin creation of the database. The following sections contain the business rules and entity tables developed during the preliminary meetings, as well as copies of all the SQL code used to build the database and create the Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD). Business Rules & Entity Tables Business Rules: · A student has a name, a birth date, and gender. · You must track the date the student started at the university and his or her current GPA, as well as be able to inactivate him or her without deleting information. · For advising purposes, store the student's background/bio information. This is like a little story. · An advisor has a name and an e-mail address. · Students are assigned to one advisor, but one advisor may service multiple students. · A class has a class code, name, and description. · You need to indicate the specific classes a student is taking/has taken at the university. Track the date the student started a specific class and the grade earned in that class. · Each class that a student takes has 4 assignments.

STRIKING A BALANCE BETWEEN PUBLIC INTEREST OF TRANSPARENCY OF GOVERNMENT AND THE PRIVACY OF PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION AND SECURITY INFORMATION: AN EXAMINATION OF TRIBUNE-REVIEW PUBLISHING CO. V BODACK I. INTRODUCTION Pennsyivanians generally want the government to work properly and to be free from corruption. They also generally want to know how tax dollars are spent and how efficiently the government works. The Right-to-Know Law provides access to state government public records to any individual or entity that properly requests them. ' The purpose of this law is to give a level of transparency to the inner workings of the state government.^ However, this right to access public records could lead to the inadvertent disclosure of important personal identification and security information of innocent, private citizens. Under the Right-to-Know Act, the state court system took responsibility for determining not only what fits into the definition of a "public record," but also whether the public interest in the information outweighs the possible " 'impairment of a person's reputation or personal security' " by the disclosure of that information.^ Because, historically, Pennsylvania courts have broadly interpreted the public record definition, individuals are at a ' Right-to-Know Law, 65 PA. STAT. ANN. §§ 67.101- .1102 (West Supp. 2009). The Right-to-Know Law completely overhauled public records access in Pennsylvania, effective January 1, 2009. Id. §67.101. However, this act only applies to requests for public records after December 31, 2008. Id. § 67.3101. So any case pending with a request for information prior to December 31, 2008, should be decided under the former Right-to-Know Act. The implications of the revised Right-to-Know Law are discussed in the evaluation section. See infra pt. IV. ' Pa. State Univ. v. State Employees' Ret. Bd. {Penn State), 935 A.2d 530, 533 (Pa. 2007) (citing Sapp Roofmg Co. v. Sheet Metal Workers' Int'l Ass'n, Local Union No. 12, 713 A.2d 627, 629 (Pa. 1998)). ^ Id. at 538 (quoting § 66.1(2), repealed by Right-to-Know Law, 65 PA. STAT. ANN. §67.102 (West Supp. 2009)) (citing Goppelt v. City of Phila. Revenue Dep't, 841 A.2d 599, 603-04 (Pa. Commw.

Strategy Project/.DS_Store __MACOSX/Strategy Project/._.DS_Store Strategy Project/EXAMPLECompleted Strategy Team Project.docx Issue: Given the success of being one of the world’s largest global payments technology companies, MasterCard has an opportunity to enter into the country of North Korea to expand its technology basis and help build the North Korean economy. Recommendation: MasterCard should research and investigate the costs and benefits of expanding itself into North Korea. Justification: In its current state, MasterCard is the second largest global payments technology organization and could use this strength to enter into North Korea to help build their economy not only by introducing its products and services into the country, but to help a weak economy become stronger with the proper use of a global payment technology. Issue: Attempting to expand into other third world countries increases the security threat. The security at MasterCard needs an update to prevent their customers from becoming targets of credit card breaches and fraud. Recommendation: MasterCard should design a new digital debit/credit card that uses a thumbprint to authorize the use of the card. Justification: Fingerprints are a unique feature that can provide great security assurance when dealing with theft. The fact that no two fingerprints are identical will make it hard for fraud to take place. Task 1: A Research and Development (R & D) team will be established for a 12 month period beginning May 2014 and continuing through May 2015 to determine what areas within North Korea would be in the best interest for MasterCard to locate. The team would consist of accountants, lawyers, management, and several other individuals who would work solely on this project for the year. The estimated cost for this project could reach up to $2 million. The current budget is listed at $2.5 million. All correspondence and findings will be reported to the current CEO, CFO, and COO as well as the Board of Directors. Throughout the year, the R & D team will spend ample time traveling and speaking with the delegates of North Korea to get a good feel of the acceptance of a large corporation entering into their country. Travel expenses during the complete project are estimated to be a total of $150,000 of the expected budget. The initial expense per visit to North Korea is a $1000 required tour that does not include any other amenities such as airfare, hotel, or food. The estimated complete “tour” expense for the year is $5,000. The flight expense during the year for the R & D team estimates the cost of $18,150 during the year. It is estimated that each ticket would cost $726 and no more than 5 team members would travel at a time, with an estimated 5 trips per year. A budget of $25,000 has been allotted for flight expenses alone due to the current trips per year estimation. As the end of the research gets closer, there may need to be an additional trip or two that need.
