...Jane Yolen Jane Yolen born February 11, 1939 in New York City. Born as the first child to her parents Isabel Berlin Yolen and Will Hyatt Yolen. Her brother Steve Hyatt Yolen was born three and a half years later. Jane at an early age discovered her love for writing and arts. In high school she was the News Editor of the school paper. After high school she went to Smith College where she won all the poetry-writing awards. To date Jane has written over three hundred books. Take a look at the works of Jane Yolen. | Non-fiction about women pirates, including Anne Bonney and Mary Read (see Ballad of the Pirate Queens), this was my very first book. But it wasn’t the first time I’d written about women pirates. In fact I’d included two of them (Bonney and Read) in a little book I wrote in 7th grade. The greatest pirate in the world was a woman, Madame Ching, who lived at the beginning of the nineteenth century and commanded 2,000 boats and 70,000 men. | An original fairy tale set in Thailand and based on a line in my kite research, which said that the king had kite mandarins who flew his kite at night to keep his soul above the terrors of the night. The story, written during my Quaker phase, is about speaking truth to power no matter what the cost. ("Speaking truth to power" is a Quaker phrase.) Young’s artwork here is dark and strong, more allegorical than straightforward illustration. The book was a Junior Literary Guild selection. An original fairy tale, this story...

The online internships offered by the National Judicial Academy, Bhopal and the Volintern program of Nishith Desai Associates are doable. 3.) Research. Write papers. Write professional blogs.

But still, try doing a SPRING course. Soon from a chicken you will turn into a hen. An egg laying hen actually. If you do not change, you still will be a productive chick.

...For the exclusive use of S. Jin 9-809-063 REV: FEBRUARY 4, 2011 NOAM WASSERMAN Apple's Core In 1983, Steve Jobs was featured on the cover of Time magazine when the personal computer was named “Machine of the Year.” His co-founder, Steve Wozniak, was quoted as saying, “Steve didn’t do one circuit, design, or piece of code.”1 The two had launched Apple Computer seven years before. The Two Steves Steve Wozniak grew up in suburban Santa Clara, California. At an early age, under his father’s influence, he developed a strong view of ethics and an interest in technology. Extreme honesty, extreme ethics, really. That’s the biggest thing he taught me . . . I never lie even to this day. . . . The other thing my dad taught me was a lot about electronics. I so clearly remember him telling me that engineering was the highest level of importance you could reach in the world, that someone who could make electrical devices that do something good for people takes society to a new level.2 The dream of building a personal computer was sparked for Wozniak when his father showed him an article about the original ENIAC computer. The article speculated about computer technology reaching “a point where anyone could buy a computer and put it in your house and learn how to use it yourself. I thought that would be just the best thing, and that was The Dream . . . the single force that drove me for years afterwards.”3 A zest for laughter also infused Wozniak’s life. He believed that “[i]n...

During the course of the last decade the world has seen globalization increase in such a magnituite that the world as a whole is seen as a single market place. Due to the adaptation of this concept, different cultures have to come together to work for a single goal their organizations provide them with, which normally is ‘success’. Culture is defined as a set of values, traditions, mind set, and norms that a set of people follow in that geographical location, these are the things passed on from generation to generation (Hofstede, 1980). For a business to be successful outside their home country, they need to understand the culture they are going into as well as understand the differences it holds from their originating country. Successful businesses creates a work force with enough multi-cultural...

...The concept of Fair Value Fair value is defined as “the amount for which an asset could be exchanged between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction”. Prior to the introduction of Fair Value Accounting (FVA), accounting was carried out on a historical cost basis. However there were many limitations of Historical Cost accounting (HCA). HCA assumes money holds a constant purchasing power. It ignores specific price-level change, general price-level change and fluctuations in exchange rates. During inflationary periods, HCA can become irrelevant and can lead to an erosion of operating capacity. IASB framework states “the objective of financial statements is to provide information about the financial position, performance and changes in financial position of an entity that is useful to a wide range of users in making economic decisions. It also states “financial statements also show the results of stewardship of management, or accountability of management for the resources entrusted to it”. FVA is superior to historical cost accounting for these purposes. FVA is dominant in numerous IFRS’s and IAS’s. The IASB have yet to finalise an IFRS on fair value measurement, but it is expected it will have been completed by early 2011. Furthermore, the IASB is developing extra educational material to accompany the publication of the IFRS on fair value measurement. This material will give a description on the thought process for the measurement of assets, liabilities...

...Strategic Planning: What does it Mean?, and How is it done Effectively? Most business owners or managers recognize that a strategic plan is a directional map for where their companies are headed and how they intend to get there. However, it is much harder for them to understand what goes into the strategic planning process, how the strategy-making task is best performed, and the full impact of the process the planning team goes through to develop the strategic direction of their organization. Strategic planning is best done when a company looks at its past, present, and future in light of its related environment. It is the process of thinking about the company and its related environment as an integrated whole. A process during which an executive "planning team" is organized to consider three key questions on a continuous basis: 1. What is our business? 2. Where do we wish to arrive, and when? and 3. How do we get from here to there? In a personal interview, Karen Poppe, Vice-President of Human Resource Management at Wall Drug, discussed the importance of organizing a strategic planning team to guide the long-term direction of a company. The planning team at Wall Drug consists of six key management people covering finance, personnel, and marketing. Clearly the success of those planning efforts is reflected in Wall Drug's average annual growth rate of 25% over the last five years. What is our...
