...but also that it was connected to the triangle in some way, a theory he proposed in his bestselling 1974 book “The Bermuda Triangle”. The mystery has since been promoted in thousands of books, magazines, television shows, and websites. Also known as the Devil’s Triangle, the Bermuda Triangle consists of a region in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean, and is defined by points in Bermuda, Florida and Puerto Rico. It stretches across less than a thousand miles on any one side.The abnormalities on the sea were first noted in 1950 by Edward Jones in the daily newspaper Miami Herald published in Florida. However the mystery starting catching wide-scale attention in 1952 when George Sand wrote in Fate magazine about incidents like Flight-19, a training flight of five torpedo bomber planes, all of which went missing during a routine training session in 1945 and never returned. A vaguely defined expanse of the Atlantic Ocean triangulated between Puerto Rico, Florida and Bermuda has enjoyed a rather sinister though perhaps largely unearned reputation for decades. Dubbed the Bermuda Triangle, this area has been linked to a number of disappearances dating back to 1945, when a squadron of five US Navy aircraft on a training mission vanished without a trace. People have always known there was something was something up with that place because when Columbus sailed he reported seeing strange lights and in one instant he reported seeing a huge red flaming fireball type of thing falling...

...Administración Estratégica Caso: Rogers´ Chocolates Aspectos relevantes sobre el caso Rogers´ Chocolates: Introducción En marzo del 2007, Steve Parkhill iniciaba como Presidente de la compañía Rogers’ Chocolates. La junta de Consejo le había pedido doblar o triplicar el tamaño de la empresa en 10 años. Cada miembro del Consejo y del equipo de gestión tenía una opinión diferente de cómo lograrlo; por lo que Parkhill requería diseñar una estrategia compatible con la cultura de la empresa, para obtener el apoyo del Consejo, la gerencia y los empleados. El mercado de chocolate premium * La tasa de crecimiento de la industria del chocolate en general venia disminuyendo, sin embargo, los fabricantes tradicionales como Hershey y Cadburys se movían hacia el mercado de chocolates premium a través de adquisiciones o alianzas. * En 2006, el mercado de chocolates en Canadá era de 167 millones de dólares y proyectaba crecer 2% cada año. * El mercado de chocolates premium crecía 20% al año, impulsado el envejecimiento de los "baby boomers". * Las ventas en octubre (previas a Navidad) representaban el 25% de las ventas anuales. * 20% de los clientes compraban el 54% de las ventas en 2006. * El margen de utilidad en los chocolates premium era mejor que los chocolates de menor calidad. * Crecía la demanda de chocolates orgánicos y libres de grasas transgénicas. * El chocolate negro incrementaba su demanda debido a sus propiedades antioxidantes...

...Introduction The two shows, 19 Kids and Counting and the Kardashians are two reality shows that are aired in the United States. Reality shows are meant to show the real side of the celebrities or the people whom the audience admires. They become popular because people believe that the celebrities are showing the true side of their personality in the reality, whereas they are not. Well, this is a heated debate as to whether the real side of the personalities is shown or not, it is out of the scope of this paper to discuss this debate. This paper will only compare and contrast these two reality shows. Discussion 19 kids and counting is a reality show that includes the Duggar family. The family appeared in a number of TLCs and also in the Discovery Health serial which is aired for an hour. In Discovery Health, mostly Michelle’s deliveries were covered. Jim and Michelle and husband and wife and have 19 kids till now. When Michelle gave birth to her first child, she and Jim decided to use contraceptives and take precautions because they didn’t want another child so early. Even after the use of contraceptives, Michelle conceived and gave birth to twins. This is when the couple decided that they would not use contraceptives again and will be happy with God’s will. The Duggar family is religious and says that whatever God will grant them, they will be happy with the same. The reality show is about the life of the Duggars as to how they live together with so many...

...Case 19-1 Bennett Body Company 1. In response to the email of Paul Bennett: The Bennett system has a higher cost of paperwork because we are using the Job Order Costing and the Conley System uses process costing. Conley Corporation uses Process costing in accumulating cost of production. We are costing products based on per job order bases. Conley is costing their production on a per department basis because it has standard model design. Our products are based on costumer's specification, and therefore each product is unique. Process costing can not be used under our present set-up. Possible reasons for cost differences between actual and standard costs under Conley's system: a. Materials Price and Usage Differences b. Labor Rate Differences c. Labor Efficiency Difference d. Production Volume Difference Standard costs are usually developed from previous year's experiences and some adjustments from each department's managers. If our product's sales volume is seasonal in nature, it would be better to have our overhead allocation rate change to monthly from annually. If not, we could stick to annual overhead rate for simplicity of computation. Under our present production, it is preferable to stick with Job Order costing, unless we change our products to a more standard design (no customer specifications), and Process costing will not work under our system. 2. Since Bennett main operation concentrates on manufacturing customized...

...Case 19-1: Bennett Body Company Note: This case is unchanged from the Eleventh Edition. Approach This case contrasts a standard cost system with an actual job cost system, and thereby brings out several points about cost accounting, including: the purposes for which cost accounting data are used; the paperwork involved in cost accounting; the use of costs for pricing; the problem of controlling costs under the two types of systems; and the problem of the normal overhead rate. Students may have difficulty in seeing that: (1) in the Conley standard cost system, costs are not traceable to individual bodies or models, and therefore no comparison of actual and standard costs by models is possible; (2) the Conley system easily could be changed to permit comparison of actual and standard labor and material costs by models, but it is doubtful that such information would be useful for control; (3) the variances have no meaning unless the standard costs for each model are reasonable; (4) the overhead variance in Exhibit 1 is meaningless; and (5) the paperwork involved in the Conley system is less than that in the Bennett system. Comments on Questions (Numbered as in Mr. Bennett’s memorandum) It may be well to discuss the Bennett system first. The subject may be broken down into records of material, labor, and overhead cost, and the job-cost sheet. Enough hints are given in the case so that students should be able to visualize the contents of the documents needed to record the incurrence...

...114(2) of the Immigration Act?” 4. 5. 6. There are several factors in which determine the content of procedural fairness, according to the Supreme Court. As written in Knight v. Indian Head School Division No.19, ,(1990), “the concept of procedural fairness is eminently variable and its content is to be decided in the specific context of each case”. This refers to the basis that there are no two cases alike, thus there is no standard definition for what is fair in all cases, as fairness varies according to the circumstances. The duty of procedural fairness is to make sure that decisions made on the administrative level are done so in a manner that is fair, and appropriate to the context in which the decision is being based on. 7. 8. 9. 10. In making their decision, immigration officers are forced to make H&C decisions, (Humanitarian and Compassionate considerations). The immigration officers who make such decisions are given a set of rules in which to conduct their decisions. These officers have a duty to decide which cases are to be given a favourable recommendation. By doing so, they must take into perspective every aspect of the case, and placing the “average person” in the case, and the decisions that would be made by such average person. Although officers...

...MILLERSBURG — She failed to take advantage of an eight-month opportunity to pay restitution, and for that, a Coshocton woman is going to jail for keeping another woman's federal and state tax returns. Corinna M. Ozuna, 44, of 44980 County Road 19, previously pleaded guilty in Holmes County Common Pleas Court to a single count of theft. A previously scheduled sentencing date was continued to allow Ozuna to repay the $1,431 she owes es the victim, but has only paid $100 toward the obligation. Other bills and a period of unemployment, Ozuna said, prevented her from making more of an effort; however, the full $1,118 of her own anticipated tax returns she intends to apply to restitution. Nevertheless, Holmes County Assistant Prosecutor F. Christopher Oehl said at the rate Ozuna has been going, it would take 13 years to make the victim whole. “We have promises, but no payments made,” he said....

Jayanthi Sriram, Asst.Director) GOVERNMENT OF INDIA INSTITUTE SECRETARIAT TRAINING & MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT OF PERSONNEL & TRAINING ADMINISTRATIVE BLOCK, JNU CAMPUS (OLD) OLOF PALMS MARG, NEW DELHI-110067 TEL. 26105592 TELEFAX: 26104183 Revised - 2005 FORWARD In responsive administration it is obvious that the response has to be meaningful. Yet, it may not be effective unless the response time is optimised. This twin objective can be achieved through streamlining of the decision making process itself. In the Central Secretariat, as in other spheres of Government, contribution by all rungs of employees particularly by those at the cutting edge level, namely the Section Officers and Assistants, generally helps arriving at the right decision. Besides collection of information, such contributions are rendered through Noting & Drafting. Effective noting & drafting at every level, therefore, is a matter of prime concern. 2. To address this concern, we in ISTM have been according utmost importance to the inclusion of 'noting and drafting' as a subject in all our foundational and refresher Courses. Besides, focussed workshops on effective noting & drafting are also organised in large numbers. To help participants team effectively, the need for practical exercises cannot be overemphasised.

...modesty. The stars of TLC's "19 Kids and Counting" are famous not only for having so many children but also for their strict religious beliefs. That's why they went swimming fully clothed while snorkeling during a trip to Puerto Rico in Tuesday night's episode. As Michelle explained to People magazine, "Bathing suits are pretty and colorful, but it's not our thinking that it is OK to be naked some places and not other places." [Related: Michelle Duggar Raves About Her 46th Birthday Haircut] "The eyes are the windows to the soul. And we are trying to keep our hearts pure, which is a struggle," she continued. "Everyone has their idea of what is modest, but for our family, we try to avoid situations ... like the public beach or swimming pools that can make it a challenge to keep our minds pure." This isn't the first time they've swum in Wholesome Wear swimsuits, though the family generally avoids swimming in public. And the Duggars make sure to stay covered up for whatever activity they're doing -- whether it's swimming, riding horses, or climbing. Their modest dress code has the family's boys wearing long shorts and the girls wearing long skirts. [Related: The Duggars Enjoy a Japanese Meal in Tokyo] "This isn't for everyone, and we don't push this on anybody," Michelle explained in TLC's Parentables blog. "And we don't judge anyone that doesn't have this perspective, but for us, we felt like we needed to be covered from our neck to below our knees." "19 Kids and Counting" airs...

...With these developments, it is obvious that conflicts between parties of different nationalities occur and liability to tax on income of foreigners especially among those engaging in trading venture. Whilst the laws affecting domicile and residence may be sufficiently settled, it is paramount for courts to pursue a detailed analysis to ascertain specific preliminary issues so as to avoid controversial rulings. Courts often handle numerous financial cases that involve what can be best described as foreign or international elements. In such cases, court must decide whether it has the jurisdiction under the Family Law Act 1975 to make a decision on such cases. In the event that it is determined that the court is invested with the jurisdiction to determine the case, the court has to consider whether there is a system of law in foreign country that also has the jurisdiction to handle the case. As it was addressed in the case Attorney General of New Zealand v Ortiz [1984] AC 1, these benefits and costs to either party if the case resolution is made in foreign country as compared with the apparent country should also be a subject of concern.

...Adapted from Bernhardt & Kinnear (1988). Cases in marketing management, pp. 6-16. Plano, TX: Business Publications, Inc. Pay careful attention to the following points. They are often used by instructors to evaluate either a written or oral analysis. 1. Be complete. Each area of the situation analysis must be discussed, problems and opportunities identified, alternative presented and evaluated using the situation analysis and relevant financial analysis, and a decision must be made. An analysis that omits part of the situation analysis or only recognizes one alternative is not a good analysis. Second, each area must be covered in-depth and within insight. 2. Avoid rehashing case facts. Every case has a lot of factual information. A good analysis uses facts that are relevant to the situation at hand to make summary points of analysis. A poor analysis just restates or rehashes theses facts without making relevant summary comments. 3. Make reasonable assumptions. Every case is incomplete in terms of some piece of information that you would like to have. A good case analysis must make realistic assumptions to fill in the gaps of information in the case. For example, the case may not describe the purchase decision process for the product of interest. A poor analysis would either omit mentioning this or just state that no information is available. A good analysis would attempt to present this purchase decision process by classifying the product and drawing upon real life...
