This document is a complaint filed by Russell Greer against Taylor Swift. Greer alleges that he spent years writing a song as a gift for Swift based on her public representations about being generous and helping fans. When Greer's managers refused the gift, Greer felt it was negligence and filed a small claims lawsuit against Swift seeking monetary damages for emotional harm. Greer claims Swift should be liable for her managers' conduct. The lawsuit and Greer's actions received negative media coverage internationally which caused Greer further emotional and economic damages.
Letters 1-11 from Whitaker_BioregionalState2005_bookMark Whitaker
This document is a foreword to a series of letters proposing a framework called the "bioregional state" aimed at achieving environmentally sustainable democracy. The letters argue that current democratic frameworks are leading to environmental degradation and unsustainability. They propose structural changes to states to link democracy and sustainability, including:
1. Proportional representation in Congress with the potential for a majority of votes to allot all seats, to maximize party competition for all voters.
2. Removing gerrymandered districts to make districts more bioregionally sensitive and competitive for multiple parties.
3. Additional checks and balances between informal local coalitions and external ideological parties.
The letters build on each other to present

BRANDfog 25 of the Smartest Women on Twitter 2015 BRANDfog
This list includes some of our favorite smart women on Twitter—and some crowd-sourced suggestions as well. The list is meant to celebrate women who are shaping important conversations across a wide range of topics, industries, vocations and avocations. The work these women are doing represents a breadth of creativity and diversity of intellectual perspectives.
Some of these are bold face names, but many are less well known. What they have in common is that they all share an intellectual curiosity and a willingness to step out of the wings and onto the main stage of business to talk about their pursuits.
The document contains feedback from an audience questionnaire about a magazine. It includes several diagrams analyzing responses. The diagrams show that:
1) Respondents were evenly split between male and female. Most respondents said they would buy the magazine, though some improvements were needed.
2) Most respondents felt the price was reasonable. They liked the masthead and color scheme best on the front cover but improvements could be made to the main image and coverline.
3) Respondents generally found the text and images clear, though some work was needed on visibility for a small number. The feedback will help strengthen the magazine's design and content.

Customer perceptions of south African cellular network operators.8hearingpta
This document summarizes a study on customer perceptions of South African cellular network operators. It provides background on the growth of mobile phones in South Africa, describing the key cellular operators (Vodacom, MTN, Cell C) and contracts (prepaid vs postpaid). The study examines how declining average revenue per user is impacting sustainability from a customer relationship perspective. It administered surveys to 500 subscribers in KwaZulu-Natal to understand customer needs and relationships with operators. The results emphasized the need for marketing strategies to align with customer care and the influence of cost on usage patterns.
This transcript summarizes a CNN news segment about several stories:
1) Hillary Clinton will announce her presidential candidacy today through a video on social media. Her campaign is promising a humble approach and to fight for every vote.
2) President Obama met with Cuban President Raul Castro in Panama, the first meeting of its kind in decades, as the US works to normalize relations with Cuba.
3) A police sting operation in Tulsa, Oklahoma went tragically wrong when a deputy accidentally fired his gun instead of his taser, killing the suspect. An investigation is underway into what caused this mistake.
