2015 03 20_briefing 55- great wealth exists in the uk alongside unimaginable ...
Wages for most UK workers have fallen over the past five years while poverty has increased, with over half of poor households now containing someone who works. However, wealth among the highest earners has rapidly grown, as the number of billionaires has more than doubled and top company executive pay has risen by 40%. As a result, the UK now sees immense wealth and prosperity alongside unprecedented levels of poverty, with the number of people relying on food banks increasing nearly 4,000% since 2009 while average pay for workers has dropped by 9%.
General Motors
The document discusses the potential effects if General Motors were to go bankrupt or cease operations. It states that over 3 million jobs would be lost in the first year alone and another 2.5 million in the following two years. The US economy would lose over $150 billion in personal income in the first year. Local, state, and federal governments could lose over $156 billion in taxes and costs for unemployment assistance and healthcare over three years. Supplier bankruptcies could bring all auto production in the US to a halt. The document argues that a GM bankruptcy would have widespread negative effects across many industries and that a government bailout is in the best interest of the American people and economy.

- Harvard's endowment has lagged peers in the Ivy League, with 10-year annualized returns of 7.6% compared to 10% for Yale. It has also suffered from multiple chief executive departures in recent years.
- Choosing a new leader will involve assessing Harvard's "hybrid" investment model, which delegates some responsibilities to external managers while maintaining an in-house team. The next chief will aim to boost performance and stability.

Dubai hosting the 2020 World Expo is expected to have both benefits and challenges for Dubai's economy and residents. The major benefits include a projected $23 billion boost to GDP, over 250,000 new jobs created, and increased tourism and investment. However, major infrastructure projects to prepare for the Expo will cause short-term disruptions through traffic and noise. There are also concerns over potential housing bubbles and environmental impacts if developments are not sustainable long-term. While residents may face difficulties during construction, hosting the Expo is assessed to have a largely positive impact on Dubai's economy and global profile in the long-run.

· Make recommendations for how Best Buy can overcome these challenges. Provide specific examples to support your response.
Introduction
In the battle to become the largest consumer electron- ics retailer in the US, some might say that Best Buy is up by a few rounds. Beginning as a single location car and home stereo store in 1966, Best Buy has grown into a massive firm with 1,400 stores in North America and over 2,600 stores in Europe and China.1 As recently as 2007, Best Buy was seen as the team to beat, boast- ing a strong lead in market share over its competitors, large and consistent profits, healthy stock returns, and a global expansion strategy. In accomplishing this feat, Best Buy brought down its biggest competitors—Circuit City and CompUSA.2 With CompUSA out of the way (at least temporarily) in 2007, the economic recession and the ensuing reduc- tion in consumer discretionary spending added the last bit of leverage needed to topple Circuit City in 2009.3 This allowed Best Buy to emerge as the clear champion of the large format consumer electronics retail segment; a position many consider prophetic of future success. However, whether the downfall of its competitors is the result of Best Buy’s superiority or simply the inevi- table demise of a retail model that is becoming obsolete remains to be seen. Unfortunately for Best Buy, recent results suggest that the latter might be the case. As shown in Exhibit 1, Best Buy’s recent stock returns have been consistently below those of the S&P retailing group as well as those of the S&P 500.4 In addition, revenue growth slowed to a miniscule 1.6 percent over the course of fiscal year 2011.i While the recession can be blamed at least in part for this reversal of fortunes, more of the blame likely lies with the presence of new competitors in the industry including the better diversified Walmart and Costco, additional “go straight to the source” Apple stores, and the monster of online retail—Amazon i Best Buy’s fiscal year 2011 closed on February 26, 2011. .com.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

- 1. California Educators Weekly Report Monday, May 20, 2013 Dear Michael, Our weekly email is aimed at keeping you up to date on important topics and changes. We hope you find these weekly emails informative and enjoyable. Each week we will bring you important updates and useful information, in an easy to understand format. Enjoy! W E ’ R E H E R E T O H E L P Our goal is to provide you with exceptional service. If there is anything we discuss in this week’s email that you would like to visit about, or if there are any questions you have, please call our office and let us know. We’re here to serve you. Quote of the week: “There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.” -Beverly Sills Remember: Please don’t keep us a secret… We’re never too busy to see if we can help your friends or a family member. O P E N I N G T H O U G H T S … In The Headlines Fortune 500 Shows Changes It’s May and time again for one of the great American business rituals, the announcement of the Fortune 500, which lists the top U.S. companies, ranked in order of their annual revenue. Retail behemoth Wal-Mart Stores Inc. regained the top spot on the list by posting strong sales growth despite a challenging economy for its shoppers. The company’s revenue grew nearly 6 percent in 2012 to $469.2 billion. Exxon Mobil Inc. dropped to the second spot, with revenue of $449.9 billion, but was still the most profitable company. Energy companies dominated the top ten slots, with oil and gas producer Chevron at No. 3 and refiners Valero Energy and Phillips 66, spun off from ConocoPhillips last year, joining the top 10. Moving up two spots to No. 5 is Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Inc., which owns everything from insurers to railroads to newspaper publishers and is in the process of acquiring Heinz Co. Manufacturing stalwarts General Motors Co., Ford Motor Co. and General Electric Co. all remained in the top 10. The continuing popularity of the iPad and iPhone helped Apple Inc. jump 11 spots to crack the top 10 for the first time, landing at No. 6. The company’s soaring stock price also made it one of the most valuable companies by market cap last year, though its shares have since posted a double-digit decline. Some notable departures from the top 10 included technology bellwether Hewlett-Packard Co. which slipped to No. 15 from No. 10 as the technology pioneer struggled with a broad consumer shift from PCs to smartphones and tablets, as well as its own management missteps. Also exiting the top 10 was government mortgage provider Fannie Mae, which dropped four spots to No. 12. One much publicized newcomer to the Fortune 500 was social media powerhouse Facebook, which went public last year.
