Italy is a European country that has a well-developed infrastructure and is also a peninsula, so it can be used as a shipping station for places all over Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. There are many opportunities that J-tec can take advantage of, but there are also threats that they need to be aware of so they can avoid or cope with them in the best possible way. Most of their infrastructure is well developed which can be an opportunity, but the further south that one goes the infrastructure gets gradually worse which can work against J-Tec as a threat. Another opportunity that J-tec can take advantage of is the system of ports and fleets that Italy should ship goods across the Mediterranean. Italy is also home to many trade exhibitions that attract the attention of much of the world, the trade shows combined with a strong manufacturing industry in the automotive industry gives Italy a lot of potential. The US is Italy 's largest non-EU trading partner, this means that Italians are receptive to American goods which is an opportunity that J-Tec does not have to actively go and pursue. Another large opportunity is the location of Italy 's industrial and manufacturing sector Italy’s main manufacturing plants are in a kind of triangle from Turin in the North, in the West from Milan, and Venice to the East. It is said that this is one of the prosperous regions in Europe in terms of industry and boasts about 50% of Italy 's national income. (export.gov). A
This song has a remorseful and gloomy mood incorporated in it. Early in the song J. Cole depicts himself as selfish and trying to keep to himself. “I like to write alone, Be in my zone,” here J. Cole is explicitly telling us that he would rather do what he does, which is making music, alone. “Until they snatched it from my mama And foreclosed her on the loan I'm so sorry that I left you there to deal with that alone I was up in New York City chasin' panties, gettin' dome Had no clue what you was goin' through,” J. Cole explains to us how he was blinded by sex, money, and fame. He tells us that he was too busy getting panties to care about his mother having her home for closed. Not only was it her home, but the only place he called home throughout
Rome and U.S Italy’s whole country is about the same size of the state of North Carolina. Italy is 750 miles north to south and 150 miles east to west. North Carolina is 200 miles north to south and 800 miles east to west. Both Italy and U.S have mountains but the mountains divide Italy in half so it is harder to trade within the country in a short period of time. Italy is less rugged than Greece but more than the U.S. Italy is built on seven hills, just like Washington D.C.
through Dallas Texas, but this harmless event quickly turned fatal for the young president. The presidents limo turned onto Elm going 25 miles per hour then slowing down to 10 miles per hour to make a sharp turn. The first shot ran out missing the president completely sounding like an echo. Hearing this, Kennedy stops waving and starts to look around. The second shot was then fired sending the bullet into Pres. Kennedy's throat he then grabs his throat with both hands. The third shot sent a bullet into Kennedy's back, thrusting him down and forward. The fourth shot sent a bullet into Connley's
Now whenever goods from Italy are imported into the United States it is inspected by Border Protection, and Customs. Customs in New Jersey said that they have detected phony olive oil imported from Italy. This oil was improperly labeled as extra virgin oil(Rodriguez). Also olive oil farmers have begun to sell their products directly to their customers to skip past the mafia middle men who tamper with the oil(Rodriguez). Luckily the muckraking of the agromafia has made a very big effect on the security measures that countries use when dealing with Italian foods.
John Pierpont Morgan is considered one of the founding fathers of the modern United States economy. He was an industrial genius that is accredited with the founding of many companies including General Electric and AT&T. However, Pierpont is looked upon as a saint and demon the same. He received a honorary degree from Harvard university that read: "Public citizen, patron of literature and art, prince among merchants, who by his skill, wisdom and courage, has twice in times of stress repelled a national danger of financial panic." But Robert LaFollette, the Wisconsin progressive, saw him as "a beefy, red-faced thick-necked financial bully, drunk with wealth and power." Despite conflicting opinion on his persona, his influence and
The United States Army Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps, abbreviated JROTC, was established by the National Defense Act of 1916. JROTC serves as a character and leadership development program for the United States’ high school students. High school students enrolled in JROTC are called “Cadets.” There are approximately 314,000 Cadets enrolled in JROTC in 1,731 high schools, drove by 4,000 retired Army Instructors. In the beginning, through the JROTC program, high schools were able to use federal military equipment and assign active duty military personnel as instructors for their classes. In 1964, the Vitalization Act opened JROTC up to the other branches of the military and also replaced most of the active duty instructors with retired members of the armed forces, who worked for and are cost shared by the schools. Title 10 of the U.S. Code declares that “the purpose of Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps is to instill in students in United States secondary educational
One of the primary goals of patient care has been safety for a long time. How patient safety is regulated has changed throughout history. Between 1917 and 1918, the American College of Surgeons developed The Minimum Standards for Hospitals which was a one page document that lead to The Joint Commission (TJC, 2014). Founded in 1951 with accreditation beginning January 1953, TJC is currently the oldest and largest organizations setting standards for patient safety (TJC, 2014). The American College of Surgeons required ethics for physicians in 1951 (TJC, 2014). Today TJC and other credentialing organizations require all staff, clinical or not, to participant in patient safety goals. Regardless of the organization you work for, patient safety will
The things that brought the Italians to the United States were job opportunities, freedom, safety, and the hope to build a better life. Southern Italy was very poor, with little job opportunities. When the Italians came to America they could work in different areas that fit them best. Some found work on the coast working as fishermen and stevedores. In the mountain regions, the Italians went to work in mines and pits digging for coal and ore. The skilled stonemasons could work in the quarries of New England and Indiana. During and after the fall of Italy’s first prime minister Giovanni Giolitti, the Italians did not feel safe and free in their country. It was said that Giolitti bribed and manipulated government officials. Corruption was a big problem, even before Giolitti came into power. Many Italians left the country and came to America for the democracy and the organized government
JROTC helps build leadership and character. They do this through decision making and the way they teach the cadets. They must learn that all choices have a consequence and it might not just affect them. They also teach the cadets that respect and honor go a long way in life. There are so many things that JROTC helps students build but leadership and character are the most important ones.
Geographically, Italy is comprised of a peninsula that extends into the Mediterranean Sea, as well as two large islands.

Doing business in Italy is very different than in the United States. “Set to move onto a slow, but steady, path of economic growth;” Italy, at first glance, seems to be a promising business environment with projected increases in GDP per capita in the coming years, according to Business Monitor International (“Italy Autos Report” 30). However, there are many cultural, administrative, geographic and economic differences that make the business environment much different than that in the US. Generally dominated by domestic carmakers, mainly Fiat S.p.A., the auto industry in Italy doesn’t look very appealing for new firms because of the high barriers to entry. However, foreign carmakers like Ford have managed to penetrate the Italian
Italy, positioned in southeastern Europe, is a beautiful country that is faced with high unemployment, corruption and massive debt. Although it appears to be one of the most developed countries in Europe, Italy is somewhat of a laggard in globalization. Ranking twenty-third in world population, Italy stands at 56,126,212 people as of July 2009. The north and south seem to be split in economic terms with the north being well developed industrially and the south facing high unemployment and poverty. Italy is a democratic republic that replaced a monarchy back in 1946. Although it ranks seventh in world GDP and public debt and attracts millions of tourists every year, its current debt to GDP ratio continues to skyrocket. World economists
The renaissance was a time of great and immeasurable change within all aspects of European life; so much so that it could be seen as beginnings of our modern western society. Leading this revitalization in culture and society in Europe’s historical development were to the two of the most dominant states of renaissance Italy, Florence and Venice. These small city-states were the powerhouses of the time and assisted speeding up the renaissance and helped spur revolutionary developments along the way being the main hubs of influence in the Italian peninsula during the late 13th and early 16th century. Florence could be characterized as a financial centre, with their banking system considered extraordinarily ahead of time; in addition being the main producers of fine elevated their chances to conduct successful trading ventures. Venice was considered one of the largest centers of trade being a coastal city of the shores of the Adriatic Sea, which allowed for prosperous trade with what was then considered the Eastern world; the city was also well known for their quality in ship building as well which likely contributed to them being a large naval power in the region. Now due to fact that both city-states were two different sovereign parts of Italy meant having two different approaches and views on or about a multitude of ideas. To understand the impact of Florence and Venice, the two very influential and affluent republics in renaissance Italy, it is crucial to analyze their over
