The numberof each item collected was recorded on data cards provided by the Ocean Conservancy, specifically designed for the International Coastal Cleanup.
Back in 2005, despite organized harassment from unions and other pro-government forces, Jacob and other activists--with the help of a professional petition-signing firm--managed to collect the required numberof names to get the antispending item on the ballot.
It was a small item in a local newspaper that caught my attention: An unusual numberof canary-yellow Lamborghinis have been spotted in the Ukraine, Moldavia and Poland.
Thus we get the ins and outs of what particular promotions might do to that critical number, the year-over-year of same-store sales, or whether a new menu item such as hot breakfasts might induce patrons to spend even more.
