According to Jim

7. There is no formal process in place to identify a legislative fee change for a credential fee. An update to the Master Fee Table could either not be identified, or be identified and communicated to the wrong department, causing a fee change to not be updated. There should be a clear understanding of how this process works in the Credentials Department when updating the Master Fee Table. This process should be well-communicated so that all other departments that could potentially be involved…

On April 12th, 1385 a double Burgundain wedding took place in the Cambrai Cathedral in Cambrai. There, Jean the Fearless took Margaret of Bavaria as his bride at the young age of 13. Margaret of Bavaria was the daughter of Albrecht of Bavaria, Count of Holland and Hainaut. At the same time, Jean the Fearless’ sister, Margaret of Burgundy, Duchess of Bavaria, married Albrecht of Bavaria’s son, William II, Duke of Bavaria. The weddings were crucial to consolidate Jean the fearless’ position in…

Server should be paid the same as the people who get paid the non-tipped minimum wage. The minimum wage should be the same at every job. Those who make Tipped minimum wage are more likely to need goverment assistance. Those servers are getting tipped becaues of their service they are giving. Some servers don't even make enough in tips to equal the non tipped minimum wage after a shift. That isn't even enough for anyone to live. I think no matter where you work the minimum wage should be the…

On the night of April 1, 2007 a mom and two of her three children were killed in a total loss electrical fire. The woman’s husband and their oldest daughter have been close family friends of mine for the past 4 years, and I have seen up close the destructive affects of the horrific loss they suffered 8 years ago. When the two children and mother were killed, the boy was 11, his younger sister only 9, and their mother 34. The horrific ramifications from this loss are the reason I want to join…

Being determined means to have willpower. Which is a necessity during a live or die situation. Much like the circumstances the characters from “The Most Dangerous Game” and “Escape from Afghanistan” were put in. In the “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell, Sanger Rainsford’s determination and skills is what keeps him alive throughout the story. Similarly in the autobiography “Escape from Afghanistan” Farah Ahmedi’s determination and strength gets her mother and her to Pakistan safely.…

1. Performance: how well they are at their job. Ex-Mary’s performance at earned her a promotion. Organization: how well organized the employees and store is. Ex-Susan is a very well organized person.

October is Dysautonomia Awareness Month. As we near October, I can't help but to think of reasons why dysautonomia (along with the abundance of medical conditions lying in the autonomic dysfunctions category) needs so much awareness in our communities. It's ridiculous how the amount of uneducated medical professionals outweigh the tens of millions of patients living with this life-altering illness who are spending an average of six years fighting to get a proper diagnosis so they can hopefully…

Juan Carlos De la Vega’s style as a follower can be characterized as an Alienated Follower. De la Vega seems to have experienced a setback, because he is unclear of his roles after an entire year with the company. Not only is De la Vega unsure of his roles, he also feels a promise has been broken. He was led to believe his position would appreciate and nurture his vision of the future for security systems. Given the article, there is no clear indication if De la Vega is currently functioning as…

I believe that servers should be paid the higher federal minimum wage for non-tipped employes. Servers, even if they give good service, are often under tipped and in some cases, not tipped at all. As cost of living increases, a servers pay also should increase just as any other workers would when minimum wage is increased. In my expeirance, most servers at least try to do their job well. Being a server is a hard job. I personally, have rarely had a server that didn't a good job, and yet…
