The UNCLOS convention has been amended overtime since it was established for many years. There are calls to revisit the whole convention as some aspects does not auger well with the current trends in the world. The Law of the Sea has caught the public attention due to certain activities such as fishing and the activities in the Arctic. There are arguments that with the continued shrinking of the polar ice cap, there countries that surround the Arctic Ocean have started positioning themselves to the anticipated biggest geographical brawls in the coming years. History & Ratification During the 17th century, the sea was governed by the concept that was known as the ‘freedoms of the seas. The regulation marked boundaries of the sea that countries should not go beyond in their activities. The distance marked was approximately three nautical miles. During the 20th century, many countries wanted this distance to be extended for economic purpose. The extraction of minerals and fishing were seen as very valuable activities that were boosting the country's wealth. In the year 1930 there was a conference that was held to debate the issues in The Hague but the discussion...

...Configuration is a major implementation task in which business and functional settings in the ERP system are changed to make the “out of the box” software support the customer’s business needs. Configuration does not make any changes to the core software code, but instead updates tables with settings and entries specific to the customer’s business. Called configuration tables, these tables enable a company to tailor a particular aspect of the system to the way it chooses to do business. Project team members can use configuration tools to select alternatives through an easy to use GUI. These selections then behave like switches that tell the software to perform differently based on the values selected. For example, configuration may allow the company to specify: • Whether accounting for inventory should be based on LIFO or FIFO. • Whether the company wants to recognize revenue by geographical unit, product line, or distribution channel (or all three) • How many legal entities are reflected in the system • What the default currency will be. SAP has over 3,000 configuration tables and there are approximately 8,000 configuration decisions to make when implementing it. Navigating through them can be a formidable task. For example, when Dell Computers implemented SAP, the configurations alone took over a year to decide upon. As ERP software vendors attempt to gain market share, they continue to provide configuration options to address and increasing number of system requirements...

...ownership of North America's professional sports teams includes a preponderance of real estate developers, and we know what it costs to buy one of these franchises and pay the all-star employees. Next time you spot one of those colossal holes being excavated for another highrise tower, remember the builder's maxim, "Where there's muck, there's money." Somewhere along the line while everyone was watching hockey reruns or Desperate Housewives, people in North Vancouver stopped caring about big residential growth the way they used to - the kind that's preparing to steamroll the district under its current developer-cosy, Talk Big, Do Little council. Like the tax increases and senior administrators' salaries here that keep soaring, the latest proposal district officials appear willing to entertain ranges beyond Magnum-Sized into the Obscenely Objectionable.

Donna’s individual performance was impressive. She was able to deliver results and her groups performed well on key metrics. Apple was the perfect place for Donna since being a young company light on formality that underwent frequent reorganizations. Apple’s fast growth, loose organization, and corporate culture allowed Donna to make decisions “above her pay grade” and thus demonstrate her ability to perform at higher levels of responsibility. Place yourself in Dubinsky’s position. Why did she respond the way she did to the JIT proposal? Donna could never understand why the JIT proposal was even being discussed. She didn’t see any problems in the distribution area, and thought this was a cost cutting measure by Jobs because the Mackintosh division was underperforming. Donna never understood why the reins had been taking from her hands in the first place and given to the taskforce. Donna viewed this as a direct attack on her job and remarked “I didn’t know why there should be a taskforce at all. Distribution’s our job”. In her mind everything was working so well. There was no problem to solve. What do you think she should have done differently and why? Be specific....

...Grant Proposals It doesn’t matter if the business is just an agency, organization, for profit or non-profit they need money to operate. Profit companies focus on getting their funding through revenues and interest-bearing loans. Non-profit companies depend on grants, loans, and public generosity. It is a must to understand that non-profit agencies are businesses too and they also need a way to pay for their expenses. Writing grants is the way an agency finds funding. Either an employee professional grant writer or having administrative personnel to write the proposals, they then submit them for review to potential donors. Writing grants proposals is far from an easy to deal with. There are deadlines, awareness of what programs a funder is looking to invest their time and money into. Details for the application are an important part to writing a grant. Some are short and don’t require much information, while others require detailed description of the program. This is the grant writer’s priority to make sure that it meets requirement and all the information that is needed is there. The primary point to a proposal is that is to get their program out there and to make it clear and honest picture of the organization project for those funding and in general. The writer must convince the review committee that their program is the best to choose. Grant proposals are the entrance to a organization, and creative writing can either win the committee over or break the deal. The information...
