http://infoweb.newsbank.com/resources/doc/nb/news/169A8F5857A953C8?p=WORLDNEWS
Joy Cooper was arrested last Thursday for multiple financial violations that happened more than five years ago, some of the charges being money laundering, official misconduct, and more. Her bond was set at $12,000 after turning herself in.
Joy Cooper's problem is that she now has a record of being arrested for four charges of financial violations.
Joy Cooper, the male of Hallandale is the person who has the problem.
Opportunity 2:
A signature Miami art space is closing, but shows will go on
http://infoweb.newsbank.com/resources/doc/nb/news/169AAC070F346138?p=WORLDNEWS
The Cisneros Fontanals Art Foundation (CIFO) had a showcase exhibition in downtown Miami but will now be closing. Instead, they will be showing the works in Quito, Ecuador.
The problem is that CIFO is giving up its local exhibition space.
CIFO has the problem.
Opportunity 3:
A Florida county will shut its schools after flu outbreak hits teachers and students
http://infoweb.newsbank.com/resources/doc/nb/news/169AABB4946AE208?p=WORLDNEWS
Gulf County superintendent will close its two elementary schools and two high schools because 20 percent of students were calling in sick along with many teachers.
The problem is that these schools are promoting the spread of the flu which impedes the students' learning.
These four schools have the problem.
Opportunity 4:
Miami Beach orders shutdown of Ocean Drive restaurant after underage alcohol sting
http://infoweb.newsbank.com/resources/doc/nb/news/169AABB4A93D82A8?p=WORLDNEWS
La Baguette restaurant on Ocean Drive has been shut down after customers complained of being overcharged with their meals. Three servers have been arrested for giving alcohol to underage minors and giving them containers to take the alcohol to-go.
The problem is that now the restaurant can never sell alcohol again because there is no appeal for a revoked license.
La Baguette restaurant has the problem.
Opportunity 5:
Another Carnival cruise was caught with dirty conditions. That makes four in two months.
http://infoweb.newsbank.com/resources/doc/nb/news/169AABB49AB1FC00?p=WORLDNEWS
The Carnival Liberty is the fourth ship from Carnival to fail its sanitation inspection in four months. The CDC and Prevention's Vessel Sanitation Program found at least three dead flying insects inside a dishwasher, a beverage carton in a refrigerator with a long hair on it, and corroded machinery.
The problem is that there were more than a dozen violations that were found by the CDC.
Carnival Cruise Lines has the problem.
I think you did a good job in finding a list of articles that cover many different topics. You also did a good job in summarizing the contents of the articles, identifying the problems, and pointing out who had the problem. Some of the subjects of these articles are crazy to hear, like the underage alcohol bust and the dirtiness of the Carnival Cruise Line ships.
ReplyDeleteOverall, I liked the opportunities you chose, and appreciated how they spanned a range of topics. I read about your 2nd opportunity during my research for this assignment. It's too bad they're closing their Miami space, but at least CIFO still has a means of showing their art, just not in Miami. I also did a similar opportunity to your 3rd one. Mine was on Alachua County worrying about the decrease in vaccinations resulting in flu outbreak, and I think your 3rd opportunity can show justification for their worries.
