Anna Sokolow was born February 9, 1910 in Hartford Connecticut. Sadly she passed away not too long ago on March 29, 2000. In New York City. Anyways, Anna was an American choreographer and professional dancer. Ever since Anna was a young girl she's always desired dancing. When she saw like a dance magazine or someone else dancing, it made her happy and inspired her to become a dancer. She wasn't expecting to become famous out of it. Anna found her majority of inspiration to dance in Jewish…

Many decisions that businessmen make can affect the amount of success they have. One of those decisions is who to partner with. There were many great partnerships made during the building of America. Some of those were good and paid off and others were bad and sent people into bankruptcy. Three partnerships that helped shape America were Andrew Carnegie and Henry Frick, Cornelius Vanderbilt and John D. Rockefeller, and J.P. Morgan and Thomas Edison. Cornelius Vanderbilt and John D. Rockefeller…

When I was asked to write a guest post, I debated about a topic. Collectibulldogs.com has a wonderful collection of bulldog artwork, ceramics, glass, and books. Wiggles, the CEO, is a handsome bulldog and would serve well as a model for new art. Since this is about bulldogs, writing about their history came to mind, but they were bred to participate in a cruel sport that I would rather forget. Today we have these loveable, loyal, stocky, muscular creatures with a squashed wrinkled face that is…

Antitrust laws are a set of laws that were made to protect consumers from unfair market places by promoting fair competition and prohibit monopolies from existing. These laws help to regulate the behavior and conduct of organizations to prevent from illegal acts such as price fixing, restraining, price discrimination or monopolizing (“Legal Information Institute”, 2007).

Imagine driving your car where there are no street lights, stop signs, or lanes; it would be pure chaos. Standards are created for universal order, and the web is no different. Web developers should abide by standards to keep things flowing properly on the internet (Web Standards Matter, 2010). Compare Web Standards and the Web to a parent 's guidance of their children.…

Directors have great power to control business activities. The law designs a series of directors’ duties to make sure the directors manage the company responsibly basic on interests of the company. However, whether those duties are effective in legal practice is a debate. In my opinion, the duty to act…

Arcadia, a play by Tom Stoppard, examines an English estate in two different time periods and discusses the relevance of the estate’s history. The audience travels back and forth in time as the present day characters learn about the lives of those who lived almost two centuries before them. While costumes, actors, and syntax styles make time travel evident to the audience, the set does not shift at all. Furthermore, all props that are used on stage remain there, whether they be a quill pen or a…

important for the L.A. Times to tell the truth as it reports. Having a contract with the Staples Center is a conflict of interest and therefore jeopardizes the newspaper’s ability to report with full honesty. Because reporting the truth is the most basic standard of journalism, veracity is the most important duty in this case. The actual duty of the L.A. Times was to refuse the contract because it is more important to honor a news provider’s duty of veracity than to value monetary…
