Million Dollar Lifesaver A person’s luck eventually comes in due time. While walking through the park with my dog, a tall slender man politely walked up to me and handed me a heavy navy blue duffle bag. He then smiled, said good-bye, and walked off randomly.

I immediately rushed over to the…

Million Dollar Arm is the kind of sports movie that crams everything subject-specific into quick-cut montages to make room for maudlin drama and fish-out-of-water comedy—a baseball flick where no one is actually shown playing baseball. It offers plenty of sideline pleasures—like seeing Jon Hamm do his disaffected Don Draper stare while watching Susan Boyle’s performance on Britain’s Got Talent—and a gaping hole in its center. Into this hole it tosses redemption arcs, romantic comedy cutesiness,…

According to a report published by the Citizenship and Immigration Canada, the number of international students in Canada increased by an average of 4.5% between the years 2001 and 2009; 11.5% on average between the years 2009 and 2012, and is set to increase by 11.5% annually, on a moving forward basis (Tamburri 01).

should be eliminated because it costs too much. Each penny costs 2.41 cents to produce (Sommer). It costs double to make something of little value. In 2011 alone the United States lost 60.2 million dollars producing the penny (Sommer). The penny is a waste of money and materials because of the millions of dollars…

We also believe that the dollar coin and bill should…

Due to the small amount and worth, The cost to make a penny compared to how much it is valued, and the fact that these days, credit and/or debit cards have becoming increasingly popular limiting the use of change and even cash, pennies are an additional burden that the US does not need to be carrying. The…

Fifty years ago this amount of money would have been extraordinary although in todays world it is a customary amount to many people. Many people would keep the full amount to themselves, although I would split it with seven hundred thousand dollars going towards the family farm and the other three hundred thousand dollars kept to my self. If I were to ever get one million dollars I would out put the…

For example, if the Kellogg Company where to create a new cereal at the cost of one dollar and eighty-nine cents a box, they could not afford to sell that cereal for one dollar and fifty cents a box. They would run themselves out of business very quickly, or they would decide against making that box of cereal and keep making the other boxes that are less cost effective. The…
