...place around him. Two men bid feverishly against each other until the auctioneer brought down his hammer and Joey was led away. He had never been apart from his mother before and started crying for her, hearing her cries for him becoming more and more feint as he was taken further away. Joey's new home was a farm, with plenty of land and a comfortable stable where he was given a stall next to a placid, motherly horse called Zoey. He likes her very much but dislikes the farmer who has purchased him, but forms a deep bond with the farmer's son, Albert, the two becoming soul mates as Albert works hard...

...It is a true story; a young man is standing alone on the bank of East River in the one of most cold winters of New York City. Who is that person? That is me, and I just enjoy the wind. Call me Fatty, because I look fatty so everybody likes to call me Fatty. Absolutely, it is not my real name, but what is real or important, nobody cares. Beside looking fatty, I am also short, only around five feet three inches. I am about 16 years old, and I live in the downtown Manhattan, being more accurately, the bridge opening of the Manhattan Bridge at Cherry Street. In this way, you may feel curious and ask me where my parents are or does anyone take care of me? I have no idea about who they are, and I take care of myself on my own. I don’t remember things happened before I have; all I knew about my parents are which I was created by the combination of a man’s sperm and a woman’s egg in their sexual behaviors. I don’t have any memories about my parents or any relatives, of course, I don’t have memory of what do they look like. I don’t care who they are and I don’t want to know who they are, because they probably just did not like me and abandon me. Anything I have can relate to my parent is a necklace which I have worn since I started to recognize things. I can live well without these ruthless people. I remember before I was fourteen years old, I always wake up in different and strange rooms. Having breakfasts with those unfamiliar people was the most boring things in my life...

...Album: Stand Up And Scream Asking Alexandria, a band that started in Dubai actually by lead guitarist Ben Bruce and his friends. They weren’t called Asking Alexandria at first, but they later changed their name to AA and then disbanded. Ben moved back to the U.K and was looking for bandmates where he saw Danny Worsnop’s cover of a song from the band Alesana. Ben contacted Danny and they started the band Asking Alexandria. They recruited other members such as Cameron Liddell (guitarist) and James Cassells (drummer) and finally Sam Bettley (bassist). The gang flew out to the U.S and started looking for a studio and record label – which they found shortly after their arrival. They recorded their first album Stand Up And Scream with producer Joey Sturgis and under the record label Sumerian Records. (Grand record label if I might add) Their debut album was released Sep. 15th 2009. They started touring and endured in countless interviews. *Interview time children* Interviewer: So guys, can I have you personally introduce yourself and your role in the band? Danny: Hi I’m Danny and I play the voice thing. Ben: I’m Ben and I play guitar and sometimes backing vocals. James: Hi I’m James and I play the drooms. (Drums) Cam: I’m Cam and uh I play rhythm guitar and yeah. Sam: Hi, sup, I’m Sam and I am the bassist. Interviewer: Alright, so what is touring like?

...On 10/10/2012 at approximately 08:49 hours, at the Home Depot, Asset Protection Specialist for Home Depot, I was sitting in my office when I heard a male voice yelling. I heard the male yelling, “I am going to kick your ass, and knock you out”. At this time, I got up out of my chair, and walked out of my office, which is located on the left side of the pro services desk. I observed a W/M, grey hair on the sides, heavy set, approximately 5’11, 220-240 pounds, wearing a white t shirt, and shorts on his phone, later identified as Cleavenger, Casey , looking back as he was walking into the store, and yelling back towards the pro loading door at the front of the store. At this time, I walked to the outside of the pro services desk, and observed a Pro loader associate at the loading door standing with another W/M. I asked him what was going on, and why was that guy yelling back toward you? He told me, the male was upset because he had problems parking in the contractor pro loading zone at the front of the store. He told me, he was yelling at the male standing next to him. He then told me the male yelling also hit the front wall of the store outside in the loading zone with his vehicle. I walked outside, and observed a older model GMC Jimmy, SUV, blue in color, Arizona license, was up against the wall. I walked back to my office, called the Peoria Police Department, and advised them of what happened. I then walked back out of my office to the pro loading door, and stayed...

...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. [1] Legal systems in most countries around the world adopt community property regime, which takes effect at the inception of marriage or at the time of divorce. For instance, California and Massachusetts in the United States have adopted community property regimes that support equal division of assets upon divorce. However, this provision...

...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...

...are given. It is understandable then that we should seek out more opportunities to apply our skills and make more positive impacts within our jurisdictions. It is this general attitude that led us to get involved in investigating cold cases. How We Got Started Mark had, for several years, been consulting with our Coroner’s Division as a forensic anthropologist. During this time he came to learn that there were numerous coroners’ cases in which the identity of the decedent was unknown. These cases were kept in three-ring binders on a shelf in the Sergeant’s office. Over the years, in the course of this forensic work, we would discuss these cases and the progress that was being made on them. The conversation usually ran along the lines of us asking “any luck with that 1980 homicide victim?” and the sergeant answering “well, we’ve gotten so many new cases that I haven’t been able to even look at it yet.” This went on for a few years and through two different sergeants. One day we, as a crime analysis unit, were brainstorming about how we could broaden our “client base”, as it were. We had been successful in integrating ourselves into our Investigations Bureau and had been involved in numerous major cases. And, of course, we had always been active in producing tactical and strategic analyses for our patrol personnel. But we knew that we could be doing more, particularly given the size and responsibilities of our agency. It was during...

...BUSINESS CASE Presented to the Accountancy Department De La Salle University In partial fulfillment Of the course requirements In ACCTBA2 (C33) March 2, 2015 A stakeholder is typically concerned with an organization delivering intended results and meeting its financial objectives. In general, a stakeholder can be one of two types: internal (from within an organization) or external (outside of an organization). The stakeholders in this situation are Lanie Marquez and Tim Rodriguez who are also partners in the retail distribution business and their capital contributions are as follows P500,000 and P300,000 respectively they are an internal stakeholder since they are also the owners. The total Capital of both stakeholders is P800,000 and with a monthly salary for both partners at P15,000 on the assumption that both of them will contribute to manage the business equally. Assuming that both managed the business equally the total salary for the year for Lanie and Tim are P180,000 each. They share profit and loss equally and no interest will be given on capital contributed. The problem for this situation is that Lanie is starting to get concerned with the behavior of her other partner Tim. He only manages the business 50% of the time, which will mean that his salary of P15,000 will need to decrease by also 50% since he does not manage the business equally with his partner. The business has seen a downturn in the profit outcome and for the current financial...

... Many people wonder why their own teeth stain so easily. The enamel on your teeth and chromogens are what stains your teeth, but what exact beverage stains teeth the most? I chose this topic because I was curious to know what stains teeth the most. It affects us daily because it could rot your teeth or you can’t pick up hot chicks anymore. So what causes teeth to stain? The temperature causes teeth to expand or contract making it easier for stains. So hot and cold drinks affect that. Color in foods and beverages come from chromogens. Chromogens are intensely pigmented compounds that stick to teeth enamel. Chromogens cause a lot of trouble when they mix and react with other stain causing and stain promoting factors. Tannis may be natural or synthetic tannis is another factor that stains teeth. Tooth enamel is porous making it extremely susceptible to stains. The darker the liquid the darker the stain. There are some examples that stain teeth. Not only sodas bad but also Gatorade. Beets are bad for you also. Mostly cause they’re concentrated. Berries dark skins stain teeth. Ketchup is also really bad because of its bright red color and high levels of acid. Dark liquids and sauces you put on your foods also stain teeth. Colored candy and popsicles both contain colorants that will transfer to the teeth and embed in the porous enamel. Fruit juices, especially grape and cranberry, leave a colorful tinge on the teeth and tongue. Colored sodas instantly discolor teeth. The citric acids...

...efficient investigative products and services. As a result, the coverage requirements for ANACI and NACLC investigations have been enhanced to support a common content baseline for all agencies. Note that these enhancements apply only to those ANACI and NACLC cases submitted on an SF 86. The purpose of this FIN is to provide you with information concerning what case coverage changes have been made. The case price adjustments necessary to support these changes will be reflected in the FY 2007 case prices. ANACIINACLC Cases Currently, listed and developed issues which are identified in ANACI and NACLC cases (for non-DoD customers) are not pursued beyond the normal scope of the investigation. These cases are returned to the requesting agency so that the agency may decide whether to adjudicate the case based upon the information in hand, conduct additional follow-up themselves, or request a Reimbursable Suitability Investigation (RSI) from FISD to cover the additional issues. Beginning with FY 2007, expansion of these issues will become a standard part of both the ANACI and NACLC products. Effective October 1, 2006, issues apparent at scheduling or developed during the course of the investigation and which fall within the 5-year case coverage period, unless otherwise noted, will be expanded upon according to the following chart (exception: issues which are known to have been covered in previous investigations, or which would reasonably have been expected to...

...find that you would like even more time. I recommend that you enter the exam promptly since I will make deductions for those exceeding the 9:00 o'clock end time even if you enter late. Third, know that the legal reasoning essay will come from Module 4 on immunity. The variety of scenarios in that question will force you to think about and explain the nuances between sovereign and personal immunity, between absolute and qualified immunity, about loss of immunity, etc. You will want to understand all four cases from that module well before the exam. I will expect specific citations to the cases and the principles that they enunciate. An additional case that might be useful for you to look at is Canton v. Harris. A second question will address the rulemaking process and the principles underlying it. You should "walk into" the exam (in a virtual sense) with a clear sense of a fully articulated rulemaking process, so that you can pick and choose elements as appropriate in the case you will be presented. The third question will be drawn from the text regarding the Constitutional framework. Finally, remember that "open book" exams can be as challenging as closed book because the "bar" (the expectation) is higher. I think you will find that prior preparation will make a good deal of difference. As stated before, when you open the exam, answer the questions initially in word and copy it back to the exam. That way, you will not lose work, time...

...in which it is acceptable for anyone who has suffered a personal injury to seek compensatory damages through litigation from someone connected with the injury. It’s the idea that for every accident someone is at fault. For every injury, there is someone to blame. And, perhaps most damaging, for every accident, there is someone to pay. There are so many ridicilous cases througout history where people sue somebody or some company for no reason and get a lot of money from them. For example . A caretaker fell off a ladder and sued the local authority for not training him to use a ladder - and won.He could get up to 50.000 pounds compensation. One former ex policeman received nearly £90,000 compensation for the trauma of seeing a woman die after he crashed into her car during a 999 call .The husband of the woman killed by the policeman received £16,000 compensation. Policemen cause a tremendous number of accidents - so many, indeed, that one force has stopped its drivers from speeding. The effect is damaging to society. The courts become clogged up with greedy people out for themselves, many with no real case at all while other people with real compensation claims, the people disabled in accidents, crippled in operations or people who have lost loved ones due clear negligent behavior. All the other who just sue somebody with ridicilous acusations should be ashamed of themselves and I hope that in the future others avoid trying to cash in just because it seems so easy...
