Jessie Carpenter Professor Merrie Marks MGMT500.2 Principles of Management 21 September 2013 Case Analysis: Micky Arison and the Costa Concordia Tragedy The former CEO of Carnival Corp. faced one of his biggest challenges when the Costa Concordia cruise ship began to sink off the Italian coast in January 2012. His actions at the time caused a bit of hype in the public eye. People wondered why Micky Arison wasn’t taking a more public role during the incident. From across the seas Mr. Arison expressed his condolences to victims via Twitter and in company news releases. He also gave his personal assurance that Carnival would take care of the passengers, crew and the victims and announced a comprehensive safety audit (Kinicky, Williams 92).
The listed price was 300 kilograms of solid gold; however, since Captain Jack Sparrow Inc. is anxious to sell its used ships, and since Davey Jones is a very persuasive negotiator, the parties agree to a selling price of 175 kilograms of solid gold. A week later, after the hurricane season had ended, Davey Jones put the ship in the water to see how it sailed. After sailing for ten kilometres, the ship begins to take in excessive amounts of water. As the ship begins to sink, Davey Jones’ crew aboard the Flying Dutchmen arrive just in time to tow Davey Jones and his newly purchased ship ashore and they dock it at Captain Jack Sparrow Inc.’s docking port. What are Davey Jones’ rights under the common law?
I was down a the quay last week, talking to all the fishermen, when Ambroise came in on his boat claiming that he had caught a whale. I wasn’t sure if I should believe him or not. There was no proof, and everyone else thought he was a joke. Ambroise seemed pretty convinced that he had actually caught a whale, and stormed off when no one would believe him. All week I’ve been hearing different stories about this.
John Cabot was famous for the second European to find North America; the early one is Christopher Columbus. Furthermore, his was the first one who discovered Newfoundland and cod fish. If let me say, John Cabot was an adventurer, he was not an explorer. Because I think, he is a nice person, and a good adventurer, but not a pleasant father or decent husband of the family. [Profile] John Cabot as Giovanni Caboto, he was bored in Italy, Genoa, 1450.

I ordered some Tuna and the sushi chef asked me if I wanted extra Prozac with that. I was confused. He said all the Tuna was now contaminated because they swim in waters polluted with pharmaceuticals. II. This speech is about what pharmaceuticals are doing to you and our planet.
Cyanobacteria are simple, single-celled photosynthetic prokaryotes. There are two ways in which these microbial communities form, the first being the most common in bays and ocean locations. The first method involves the growing filaments (cyanobacteria) trapping fine sediment with a sticky film of mucus that each cell produces, and then the sediment grains are binded together with calcium carbonate given off by the water. The second method is used in lakes and requires the cyanobacteria to precipitate their own carbonate framework and hardens as the filaments continue to grow upwards through the formation, towards the light. An environment in which Stromatolites would live and grow include: anaerobic, marine (lakes, bays, oceans), high salinity, low tide, warm temperature, poor water circulation or shallow water.
It was 1944 when my grandfather died, a casualty of World War II. He was a Machinist First Class stationed on a Navy Frigate off the coast of Italy. The ship hit a mine and he was killed when the engine compartment flooded. As she continued with the story; I began to imagine it was me serving in the Navy, serving my country, making something out of my life. She told me of how my grandfather was selected to become a Chief Petty Officer, but was never able to wear the uniform or receive his coveted “Anchors.” I am sure it seemed to my mother at the time that I was naive and innocent when I said “well I’m going to join the Navy and make Chief for him.” The main thing about the Navy that drew me in, was the way my mother described making Chief as being one of the most time-honored traditions that existed in any branch of the military.
According to “Don’t Blame the Eater”, by David Zinczenko, he argues that suing a fast food place is wrong and should be your responsibility on what he eats. He gave the perfect example to show us how wrong it is with “isn’t that like middle-aged men suing Porsche for making them get a speeding ticket?” With this example he gives an alternative view of looking at lawsuit towards fast food restaurants that are just doing their jobs and making us food. This is not to say that the fast food restaurants don’t have a part in people being fat. With fast food places spending millions of dollars in advertising, who is not to say that some can be misleading? With so many ads and billboards persuading us to eat even though we’re not hungry.
