This week I chose an article called Huckabee: There Better Not Be Doritos at Your Super Bowl Party by Kelly Frazier. The article discusses presidential candidate Mike Huckabee's distaste for Frito Lay's partnership with the It Gets Better Project which is aimed at fighting anti-LGBT bullying and giving hope to those who are being harassed. People who donated to the It Gets Better Project would receive via mail a limited edition bag of Frito Lay's Rainbow Doritos. According to the article Mike Huckabee's issue is that Frito Lay is affiliated with Dan Savage however nothing else is mentioned. Thanks to an article from ABC News I found out that Huckabee and Dan Savage have had a tumultuous relationship for several years.…

ALLEGAN – Today, October 5, 2017, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) along with the Allegan County Health Department (ACHD) reports that a child who had visited the recent Allegan County Fair has tested positive for H3N2 variant (H3N2v) influenza.

If I was a liquid molecule at a concert, I would be a country concert because it is at a country concert not many people are moving but kind of dancing a little bit but mostly calm. Also, country is not that popular so no one would really go to it. I don’t know anyone who would sing it or any song because I have no life and live under a rock.…

I believe there is an underlying communication issue that the employees of both Canadian Magical Tours are facing but their American counterparts as well. Janine’s senior team members particularly Janet Browne and William (Bill) Tremaine are unable to effectively diagnose and resolves issues among their subordinates. This shown when the sales and marketing teams lacked the leadership needed to overcome deciding who has the responsibility of the design, price, and plan of the tours. Also, this type of break in communication and poor judgment was present in both the Canadian and U.S. teams when they both thought they were solely responsible for a tour including the Seattle and Vancouver cities. Executive meetings only happening once a month…
