...REPARATIONS TO FORMER SLAVES DESCENDANTS. The debate of reparation continues unabated and legendary. It is gathering such a momentum that people who initially did not support it are now changing camps to galvanize support for it. Man was born equal without any superiority of one race over the other. Pigmentation, I believe, should not be a paradigm by which we determine who should rule or enslave the other. Although slavery is as old as the existence of man, its longevity is not a permissible cause to be perpetrated against humanity. The untold hardship executed against humanity, precisely Africans during the era of this heinous and barbaric so called “trade”, as if human beings were commodities, needs a meticulous attention by all level-headed people. In an article, “Lawsuits seek reparation from Britain, France, and Netherlands for their roles in Atlantic slave trade”, the Prime Minister of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Ralph Gonsalves in his speech on the 68th United Nations General Assembly said “the European nations must pay for their deeds”. He bemoans, “ “The awful legacy of these crimes against humanity – a legacy which exists today in our Caribbean – ought to be repaired for the developmental benefit of our Caribbean societies and all our peoples,” Gonsalves said. “The European nations must partner in a focused, especial way with us to execute this repairing.” Although the petitioners have not specified a monetary figure for the...

...Leon Lockhart PHL/320 12/15/2014 The definition of good can be described in so many different ways. Ones perception of good is going to be totally different then what someone of else thinks of the word. When looking up the definition of good it states “to be desired or approved of”. I think this is the best definition for the word good, you are usually looking for the good in things and when something is good is usually is approved. Premise Over the past years globalization has changed the way the world economy works. It is now more integrated economy, in which before we were mainly independent economies. Countries trade more than ever before in which creates more wealth and has lifted a lot of countries out of debt. For the poorer counties globalization allows the countries to use their lower costing labor to sell in other world markets. This creates jobs for the countries, and allows them to grow. For the richer countries the cost of goods are lower, which creates room for to improve their standard of living. Globalization has created more jobs all over the world causing wealth to grow everywhere. Conclusion Overall globalization has changed the way the world is developing. Since globalization has been in the work’s it has made the world economies more integrated than ever before. Trading is at its highest point ever in history because of globalization causing wealth to grow all over. It has created more jobs for the poorer countries, stimulating their economies. As...

...Paper One: HOTA Source A: Treaty of Versailles, Article 232 in Part VIII, Section I of General Provisions, 1919 Article 232 The Allied and Associated Governments recognise that the resources of Germany are not adequate, after taking into account permanent diminutions of such resources which will result from other provisions of the present Treaty, to make complete reparation for all such loss and damage. The Allied and Associated Governments, however, require, and Germany undertakes, that she will make compensation for all damage done to the civilian population of the Allied and Associated Powers and to their property during the period of the belligerency of each as an Allied or Associated Power against Germany by such aggression by land, by sea and from the air, and in general all damage as defined in Annex l hereto. In accordance with Germany's pledges, already given, as to complete restoration for Belgium, Germany undertakes, in addition to the compensation for damage elsewhere in this Part provided for, as a consequence of the violation of the Treaty of 1839, to make reimbursement of all sums which Belgium has borrowed from the Allied and Associated Governments up to November 11, 1918, together with interest at the rate of five per cent (5%) per annum on such sums. This amount shall be determined by the Reparation Commission, and the German Government undertakes thereupon forthwith to make a special issue of bearer bonds to an equivalent amount payable in marks gold...

...John Kase Prof. Morgan Religion in The World, section7 Sept 17th 2012 Paper #1 “How is honey understood in African and African diasporic religions?” Honey is a sweet food made by bees using nectar from flowers. In the African religion, food stuffs are present within the ritual stories associated with African spirituality and are instructive tools symbolizing complex ideas and concepts. In one such story, Ogun, the god of iron, technology, and patron of blacksmiths, isolates himself in a forest. Because the people depended on his abilities and gifts for most of their daily lives, the community soon fell into chaos. They beseeched the great Ogun to return, only to be ignored by the orisha. Only the orisha of sensuality and female empowerment, Oshun, was able to lure Ogun from his haven. She spread her honey on his lips, and the tempted Ogun followed her out of the forest. Honey, in this story, has been said to be a metaphor for Oshun’s sexuality, and the story instructs believers about using their own particular talents for the good of the community. Honey is also used as an important type food during the ceremony of a newborn. In many African communities, the elders, usually after having engaged in divination, offer a name to the baby’s father in the morning. Divination helps determine which ancestor may be coming back through the child. Later on, in the evening, others in the community join to officially welcome the newborn. Specific ritual food and drinks will...

...Case Study: Tyco international fraud Tyco Background Tyco International has operations in over 100 countries and claims to be the world's largest maker and servicer of electrical and electronic components; the largest designer and maker of undersea telecommunications systems; the larger maker of fire protection systems and electronic security services; the largest maker of specialty valves; and a major player in the disposable medical products, plastics. Edward Breen, who replaced kozlowski removed nine members of Tyco’s international board, and adhesives markets. Since 1986, Tyco has claimed over 40 major acquisitions as well as many minor acquisitions. How the Fraud Happened According to the Tyco Fraud Information Center, an internal investigation concluded that there were accounting errors, but that there was no systematic fraud problem at Tyco. So, what did happen? Tyco's former CEO Dennis Kozlowski, former CFO Mark Swartz, and former General Counsel Mark Belnick were accused of giving themselves interest-free or very low interest loans (sometimes disguised as bonuses) that were never approved by the Tyco board or repaid. Some of these "loans" were part of a "Key Employee Loan" program the company offered. They were also accused of selling their company stock without telling investors, which is a requirement under SEC rules. Koslowski, Swartz, and Belnick stole $600 million dollars from Tyco International through their unapproved bonuses, loans, and extravagant "company"...

...This is to recommend the initiation of a marketing plan for the Bond-A-Matic 2000 (BAM) beginning in 1979. The total cost of the plan is estimated to be $81,000 (see exhibit 1) which is in addition to the projected Super Bond marketing plan for FY79. The target audiences for the plan are small to midsized companies that are non users and companies that are CA users that will benefit from using the BAM. The objectives of the plan will be to increase brand awareness, educate non-current users of the advantages of CA adhesives (Super Bond) as well as the advantages of dispensing equipment, and to increase awareness of the BAM among current users. The plan will utilize direct mail that will be reinforced by future Super Bonder advertising. The BAM should not be considered as a stand alone product but as a complementary product to Super Bond adhesives. The focus of the plan is to use the BAM as a method of introducing new users to instant adhesives and to react to the expressed interest of current CA users in improved dispensing techniques. Brand loyalty will be strengthened once the end user begins to use the BAM in conjunction with Super Bond adhesives. Also, it is recommended to continue the use of the Loctite logo on the BAM to strengthen brand identity. In order to avoid competition with the Systems Division’s line of applicators, the plan will focus on small to midsized companies within SICs 20 through 39 that use less than five (5) pounds of adhesive per year. The assumption...

...Diabetes [Name of Author] [Name of Institution] Question 1 The key area which must be considered for conducting initial assessments for Jazminder is the identification of hyperglycemia. It is recommended that her glucose concentrations for plasma must be measured. A two-hour post load glucose test or an FPG test is recommended by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and WHO for patient susceptible of developing diabetes. Assessment of diabetes is also done through HbA1c in which the hemoglobin HbA1c is measured. This area of assessment has particularly been deemed important by the International Expert Committee (2009). Measurement of HbA1c enables the healthcare providers to assess the blood glucose concentration. The WHO and ADA (2010) has also associated the HbA1c as the major test for diagnosing diabetes. Jazminder is doubtful that she might develop diabetes because her sister has developed recently. However, apparently there is no symptom for the presence of diabetes in diabetes. According to Saudek et al (2008), asymptomatic people may be at the higher risk of developing diabetes. In particular, for people ≥45 years of age, the screening is necessary. Jazminder must be evaluated for HbA1c, 2-h OGTT, and FPG to get appropriate results. It has been recommended by the IDF that it relies over the healthcare provider to decide which screening must essentially be done for respective patient cases. However, the FPG remains the test suggested in almost every...

...7/3/2015 1. According to the appeals court, when will it hold an individual shareholder personally liable for the debts of a corporation? Why? A corporation is a legal entity that has one or more owners known as shareholders. Shareholders investment is usually there only liability in the corporation and they are usually held personally liable for the debts of the corporation. The court will ignore the corporate structure and will “pierce the corporate veil” when the corporation is being used to “perpetrate a fraud, circumvent the law, or in some other way accomplish an illegitimate objective.”(pg67) According to the appeals court it will hold an individual shareholder personally liable for the debts of the corporation when a controlling shareholder conducts business a haphazardly manner and it is hard to distinguish the business from the shareholder. Another reason to pierce the corporate veil is if the privileges of the corporation are being use by a shareholder for personal gain and to avoid responsibility. One factor that is a common cause for the courts to pierce the corporate veil is “the corporation is set up never to make a profit or always to be insolvent, or it is too “thinly” capitalized. That is, it has insufficient capital at the time it is formed to meet its prospective debts or potential liabilities.”(68) This factor is present in this case when Anthony D. Lee CPA looked into the financial history of CSI and testified that the company was “undercapitalized...

...MIS 344 HOMEWORK#1 (DUE DATE 23.03.2012) 1. The Technically Techno Company has several patents for a variety of different Flash memory devices that are used in computers, cell phones, and a variety of other things. A competitor has recently introduced a product based on technology very similar to something patented by Technically Techno last year. Consequently, Technically Techno has sued the other company for copyright infringement. Based on the facts in the case as well as the record of the lawyers involved, Technically Techno believes there is a 40% chance that it will be awarded $300,000 if the lawsuit goes to court. There is a 30% chance that they would be awarded only $50,000 if they go to court and win, and there is a 30% chance they would lose the case and be awarded nothing. The estimated cost of legal fees if they go to court is $50,000. However, the other company has offered to pay Technically Techno $75,000 to settle the dispute without going to court. The estimated legal cost of this would only be $10,000. If Technically Techno wished to maximize the expected gain, should they accept the settlement offer? 2.

There are many key environmental forces that have an immediate strategic implication for Capital One. First, the credit card industry has reached a high level of competition. This is a period of mergers and consolidations. Some institutes are selling off their credit card portfolio, others merging operations you might say that the industry is undergoing a period of flux. Secondly, the rise of personal bankruptcies has a direct barring on the credit card portfolio of Capital One.

...effectively. It is important to remember that majority of the time colour is seen by the viewer before the actual image. This information allowed me to think in a more critical way and also made me think about how I can use significant colours to evoke a certain response. Red Red is one of my favourite colours as I feel l gain the most emotional impact from. I find it interesting how I am affected in a physical way for example when I feel warmer wrapped up in a red blanket rather than another colour. The possible double meaning and strength is also appealing to me. Being the lowest wavelength, red is a powerful colour. It has the property of appearing to be nearer to be closer than it actually is therefore grabbing your attention. For this reason, it is the most used colour for traffic lights and signs around the world. It’s affects are actually physical and it has been proven in research to raise the pulse rate in people, giving the impression that time is passing quicker. It can activate the basic instinct of flight or fight in the body stimulating adrenalin. Red has also been associated with anger which can cause irritability in some people. Purple This is another one of my favourite colours as it represents my spiritual side. I like how it combines aspects of red – dynamic and active – as well as blue – cooling and calming – coming...
