But after Trump referred to Mexican immigrants as "rapists," Zakarian dropped his plans, as did another celebrity chef who was to open a restaurant there, Jose Andres. In August, Trump sued both Andres and Zakarian for breach of contract after pulling out of their respective restaurant projects. Both chefs have since filed counter claims. The court case was taken place at the D.C. superior court. Donald Trump ends up winning his lawsuit up to an estimated 10 million from Zakarian and another chef named Jose Andreas. Then, Andres countersued trump for 8 million, faulting Trump’s statements

    On March 18, 1970, history was made in America. Thousands of New York City postal workers expressed their frustration with Congress by simply refusing to work. Even though the strike was birthed in New York, postal workers from many other states also shared the same anger and concerns. Despite the miles that separated them, nearly 200,000 postal workers from 30 major cities joined the strike. Prior to 1970, the United States Postal Service was known as Post Office Department and was also managed by the federal government. Any changes, concerns, or suggestions had to be reported and passed through Congress. Congress acted very slowly to improve any concerns they had, so the American Postal Workers Union, AFL-CIO, had their work cut out for them.…

    However, Congress passed the Postal Act of 1851 which made delivering letters to 3,000 miles away inexpensive. It had made it more convenient for people to deliver letters to one another from long distances so they might hear from their loved ones sooner. Also, Americans were able to live further away from family and friends as the America had expanded westward past the Mississippi River. Slaves could not enjoy the right to deliver letters to loved ones or friend mostly because it was illegal for them to be literate. So illiterate slaves would deliver letters with the aid of white men to avoid being caught by their masters although they knew of and disliked this practice.…

    The United States Postal Service has gone through some major changes in the past twenty-five years due to the increase in popularity of technologies such as email, fax machines, the internet and mobile phones. Sending letters and paying bills using the traditional method of using stamps no longer became the preferred method of sending correspondence. The postal service realized that major changes needed to be made and therefore decided to implement a quality improvement program utilizing the balanced scorecard approach. The following paragraphs summarize my thoughts and conclusions on their improvement process using the “voice” of the customer, employee and business.…

    The 95 percent confidence interval is (Z = 1.96) (n =31634) (σ = 272.84) 108.496 < Population Mean < 114.5094 The variation of the mean is not very large (+-3.01), so sample mean can be assumed to be representative of population mean. Number of offline users: 27781, x1 = 110.79, σ1 = 271.301 Number of online users: 3853, x2 = 116.67 σ2 = 283.66 Z = (x1-x2)-(µ1-µ2)/Sqrt(σ12/n1+σ22/n2) Null Hypothesis: µ1= µ2 Alternative Hypothesis: µ1 =! µ2 Z = -1.212 and Z-critical at 5% level of significance is +-1.96. Since Z lies in acceptance region, the null hypothesis is not rejected. Hence, there is no significant difference in profitability of online and offline users. We run a regression run using online/offline being the independent variable and profitability being the dependent variable. The output summary is: Regression Statistics 0.00705 Multiple R 4.97E-05 R Square 1.81E-05 ` Adjusted R Square 272.8369 Standard Error 31634 Observations ANOVA Df SS MS F Significance F 1 117039.3 117039.3 1.572264 0.209887815 Regression 31632 2.35E+09 74439.99 Residual 31633 2.35E+09 Total Coefficients Standard Error t Stat P-value 110.7862 1.636956 67.67821 0 Intercept 5.880591 4.689842 1.253899 0.209888 X Variable 1 R Square value is very low indicating low predictability of the model. F-value analysis is unable to reject null hypothesis even at level of significance of 0.2. T-stat also is unable to reject the null hypothesis. These indicate that there is no significant cause and effect relation between online/offline user and their profitability. To find the relation between the demographics of the customer and their profitability, we perform a regression analysis. To enable regression analysis, following steps are taken: 1) Independent variables are online/offline, age, Income, tenure and district. 2) Online/offline and age groups are well recoded as numbers. 3) Income and district are not recoded well. For e.g.: Income bucket 2 is…
