As far as Ferguson’s “the football player” career is concerned, actually, he did not achieve a successful career. In fact, as a player Ferguson started with a small local football team the “Queens Park and St Johnston” club. Afterward, he got the chance to join the “Glasgow Ranger” club, yet this union did not last since he resigned after being responsible for the defeat of his team against its fierce rival the “Glasgow Celtic” club. So determined, Alex Ferguson joined the “East Stirling” football club but this time as a manager rather than as a player. His first management period lasted for three seasons and then was recruited by the Scottish football team “Aberdeen”. With limited resources, Ferguson achieved the unthinkable, he won with his club the “European Winners’ Cup” during the 1982-3 season. This achievement with “Aberdeen” was a milestone in his career and made him “THE” coach that many big names in the European football scene like Real Madrid, Barcelona, Arsenal, and Tottenham, wanted to engage him. Ultimately, Ferguson chose to join Manchester United (MU). During his reign, Manchester United advanced from an ordinary local team to a top-class national...

The endocrine glands are equally important parallel communication system in the body. The endocrine system is made up of glands that secrete chemicals directly into the bloodstream or the lymph system. I have found a table that shows which glands are in the body and what exactly they produce or do for a human.

Organizations employ individuals with different backgrounds and a management objective is to capture each difference and move forward with a common goal. Management is responsible for motivating employees and keeping them aligned with the organization’s goals. This paper will encompass organizational plans detailing motivational theories and conflict management plans as they relay to the differences in employee learning styles. Motivation Theories and Organizational Behavior Motivation states the “forces within an individual that account for the level, direction, and persistence of effort expended at work” (Schermerhorn, Hunt, & Osborn, 2008).

Kennedy 6, 10 000 Zagreb, Croatia Abstract The decision about the location is one of the most important decisions taken by the retailer because of its long-term impact on the company. In each step of the decision making process retailers have to analyse to what extent the characteristics of the location meet the specific requirements of their businesses. The secret of choosing the right location lies in knowing the factors that are most important to the firm's success and finding a location that satisfies them the most. Retailers must take into account the size of the trading area, parking spaces, availability of space for expansion and location visibility. Crucial for identifying appropriate location is to identify the characteristics that can provide the small retailer with a competitive advantage and then find potential sites that meet these criteria. After deciding on retail location, retailers have to consider store layout. Layout is important for attracting constant customer turnover. Store layout develops from a good knowledge of the consumers’ buying habits. Retail spatial distribution should attract customers...

Many historians David Fintz Altabé, Mark R. Cohen, Henry Kamen, Erin Morris, Mary Elizabeth Perry, Rukhsana Qamber, Saey, Tina Hesman Saey, Matthew E. Falagas, Effie A. Zarkadoulia, George Samonis, Hugh Kennedy and Maya Soifer, with their different views have tried to solve the mystery to what exactly happened? What were the conditions in Al-Andalus? Did people of different religious faiths coexisted at that time under Muslims’ rule? What caused the massacre and conversion of Jews and Christians into Islam? What led to the Spanish Inquisition? This paper is focused on the Spanish Inquisition, its causes and its consequences which includes the conquest of Spain by Muslims, the co-existence of Muslims, Christians and Jews, the fall of Al-Andalus leading to the Spanish Inquisition and the expulsion of Muslims from Spain beginning in 1478.

...Dorner vs. LAPD (If you have trouble accessing site, the document is viewable at the end of the manifesto) From: Christopher Jordan Dorner /7648 To: America Subj: Last resort Regarding CF# 07-004281 I know most of you who personally know me are in disbelief to hear from media reports that I am suspected of committing such horrendous murders and have taken drastic and shocking actions in the last couple of days. You are saying to yourself that this is completely out of character of the man you knew who always wore a smile wherever he was seen. I know I will be villified by the LAPD and the media. Unfortunately, this is a necessary evil that I do not enjoy but must partake and complete for substantial change to occur within the LAPD and reclaim my name. The department has not changed since the Rampart and Rodney King days. It has gotten worse. The consent decree should never have been lifted. The only thing that has evolved from the consent decree is those officers involved in the Rampart scandal and Rodney King incidents have since promoted to supervisor, commanders, and command staff, and executive positions. The question is, what would you do to clear your name? Name; A word or set of words by which a person, animal, place, or thing is known, addressed, or referred to. Name Synonyms; reputation, title, appellation, denomination, repute. A name is more than just a noun, verb, or adjective.

...Teachers and Weapons in Schools Jessica Rhodes Composition II WI12 Instructor S. Cochran February 10, 2013 Abstract In this paper, I will explore the controversial question of whether teachers should be allowed or required to carry weapons on school campuses. The question of whether the topic should be entertained has come up time and again after tragedies occur, the timeline of which will be summarized herein. The recent tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, that devastated the nation on December 14, 2012, has wrenched this debate crudely back into the spotlight. I will investigate different types of protective instruments that could possibly be used, as well as what types are used in schools that have such regulations. I will delve into the reasoning behind states that have implemented laws that allow teachers to carry guns in school and/or at school events. Included within are excerpts from this writer’s first-person interview conducted with Maria Otero-Ball, a kindergarten teacher in Albuquerque, New Mexico. As a teacher of children the same age as those involved in the Newtown tragedy, Mrs. Otero-Ball offers a first-hand view on the changes that she and the school have made following the tragedy, as well as her views on the practicality of weapons in the school. My goals in preparing this paper are to expand my thoughts on the subject, peruse the thoughts of others, and explore the statistics to provide a better overall understanding of...

...The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) has one main role; this main role is to promote the use of accounting standards and to bring convergence of international financial reporting standards and national accounting standards. Other roles IASB consist of develop drafts of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and to carry out tasks alongside with the International Financial Reporting Committee (IFRIC), where the IASB role is to approve the interpretations by the IFRIC. Australia has joined the revolution of accounting integration by the intention to adopt IFRS in 2003, with implementation required for reporting periods on or after 1 January 2005 (Nobes & Zeff, 2008). Intention of adopting IFRS is to embrace international harmonisation by having a single universal set of accounting rules and to optimize accounting quality reducing diversity in accounting practices and information asymmetries. Concurrently, many scholars has raised doubts and speculation of this ideology of accounting standardisation stirred up by the adoption of the controversial International Accounting Standards (IAS) 39 or in Australia, the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) 139: Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement which has been subject to much criticism (Armstrong, Barth, Jagalinzer, & Riedl, 2008; Barth, Landsman, & Lang, 2006). Due to this uproar, the IASB has decided to review the standards for financial instruments formulating a new financial...
