Dumont, NJ Blizzard Analysis
The recent blizzard that crippled the East Coast and dumped more than two feet of snow across the region garnered the attention of national and international media outlets. Organizations like CNN and BBC provided special coverage of winter storm Jonas, focusing on the overall aftermath of the storm. Since the snowstorm impacted the entire coast, it would be more effective to draw attention to one specific town. I would choose to concentrate a report on Dumont, NJ, a small town in northern New Jersey. Rather than covering the impact on the whole town, the news report would focus specifically on the school system’s method of cleaning up after the blizzard.
With this angle in mind, the first person to speak with would be the superintendent of

    Case Study Springfield Nor Easters

    From this we can derive that overall, in Springfield (assuming that the sample is representative of the population), 38% of residents do have some interest in baseball, but only 28% of the residents have ever attended a professional baseball game. Out of this only 17% of the population have attended at least one minor-league game in the last 2-3 years, however 39% of the residents would be willing to attend at least one game if a minor league baseball team ever came to Springfield. Insight about grand stand tickets was also collected, indicating that 72% of the population is not willing to pay more than a 10% premium over regular bleacher seats for a grand stand seat, hinting that there may be no opportunity to explore in terms of multi-priced seating. Another insight that can be drawn from the survey is that 81% of those who attend a game would be willing to pay $6 or more on various concessions per person. 56% of those surveyed were female and 66% of those surveyed lived with at least one child between the ages of 5-16, which may indicate that child-ticket pricing may be exploited. In addition, the sequence of questions did follow the typical “qualifying questions, warm-ups, transitions, difficult and complicated questions, and finally, classification & demographics questions”…

    Springfield Nor Easters Case Study

    After reading the case study on The Springfield Nor’easters, there are some key issues that really stuck out. The main issue was that Larry Buckingham, who was the marketing director for the Nor’easters, had to figure out how to sell season tickets, regular tickets, and merchandise at their games. The Nor’easters were set to take their home field in Springfield Massachusetts, which is about 90 miles west of Boston. This in itself makes it difficult to sell tickets to minor league baseball games as the Red Sox play a little over an hour away. The next hurdle to overcome was the demographics of Springfield. Nearly 25% of families lived below the poverty line, which is not an ideal situation when trying to sell tickets. In my personal opinion, the next issue at hand was the secondary research. Buckingham used 3-year-old survey data and some anecdotal evidence from a journalist. This is not thorough use of secondary research. After completing the survey, the next issue at hand was determining how to price the tickets to get maximum attendance and revenue.…

    The Shadow Of The Wind Analysis

    Originating in the Bible, there is a belief that children are born bearing the weight of their parents sins. This idea is encompassed in the novel The Shadow of the Wind by Ruiz Zafon about a young boy named Daniel, who encounters a book that changes his life. Enlisting the help of multiple people, Daniel is able to uncover many of mysteries surrounding the book, The Shadow of the Wind, and its arcane author, Julian Carax. On Daniel’s quest to uncover more about Julian Carax, he finds that both Julian Carax and the antagonist, Javier Fumero had a painful past with sinful parents that mold the two boys into becoming self destructive men. Through the adulterous and abusive sins of Julian’s real father, Don Ricardo Aldaya and through Fumero’s mother Yvonne’s mental instability, the boys, Julian and Fumero, grow up to be men with serious mental issues eventually leading to their demise. Thus, the consequences of their parents sins lead them to become people that do not want to be.…

    Atticus Finch Snow Day

    I understand that schools get closed due to snow all the time, but what’s peculiar is how much they get. “ I don’t want you all to be disappointed, but I doubt if there’ll be enough snow for a snowball.” (Lee,64). That clearly shows there was no reason for a snow day. Compared to today, it has to be a lot of snow to where the roads don’t get plowed to later in the day. Another major difference is that it is in Alabama. There is never snow down there, so you can see how much it changed most likely due to global warming. It really shows how much we have changed since then.…

    The Murderous Blizzard of 1888

    On January 12, 1888, the weather in the west was mild, compared to previous weeks. Little did the people know that a massive cold front was in route and would be catastrophic to the people, their livestock, and the economy in the dekota and nebraska praries. The cold front would cause one of the worst blizzards for the region, killing close to 500 people. The factors that made the death toll so high involve the mild weather before the storm, the lack of technology for warning systems, and bad timing.…
