corporate governance 

Corporate governance refers to companies doing business and making money in both a legal and ethical manner.

It is about all the many different legal and ethical aspects of how any particular business organization is run and operated.

Law abiding and highly ethical business organizations are widely known to have very good corporate governance, as all their business operations are in strict compliance with all the various legal rules and regulations.

Companies that run afoul of the law and which engage in dishonest business practices are considered to have poor corporate governance and they will be punished for breaking or infringing on any legal and ethical frameworks.
If your company does business in a legally and ethically way, it is said to have good corporate governance.

If your company does business in an illegal and unethical way, it is said to have bad corporate governance.

Corporate governance is a combination of the legality and ethics of doing business for any company in the corporate world.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Acronym, meaning Too Long Didn't Understand
Similar to TLDR
Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
