...1. “In light of the entire transaction as it was outlined to them by Wisconsin, did First Midwestern provide the correct advice to their customer on how to structure the transactions? Did they appear to be fully diligent?” First Midwestern was a well-known bank and has a good relationship with Wisconsin for several years. In my opinion the bank did not provide the correct advice to Wisconsin in structuring and financing the transaction. One of the main reason was, because Wisconsin did not advised their bank with all the details and negotiations happened between them and Vietnamese buyers. The management of Wisconsin had deal with Saigon jewels, (buyers) that they will buy back the finished polished stones and jewelry from Saigon over the period of three years at fixed price. Firstly, Midwestern did not do their due diligence on Wisconsin as well as on Saigon. They proposed certain recommendations to Wisconsin on how to structure the transaction. First they advised Wisconsin to get the irrevocable letter of credit from Saigon’s bank with the conformation add to it. And the total amount ($3 million) to be paid in three installments, first at the sight and remaining two in the term of 12 months. Secondly, they advise the letter of credit for three drafts to be drawn on the seller’s bank and to be accepted by issuing bank after shipments and presentation of all documents specified in LOC. And the first draft was to be payable three months after the shipment, second and third...

...thought of designing the vessels themselves so that the cost each mechanized boat would be reduced from Rs. 30 lakhs (if they bought them) to Rs. 22 Lakh. They designed three boats and these were sent out with a newly – appointed crew. Two vessels were sent to Paradeep and the third to Kakinada. Unfortunately, the weather was unfavourable. All the vessels sank. The crew also did not have experience. Two workers were injured and the rest arrived sagely. There was significant damage to the vessels and the residue was considered scrap. The cost of scrap of the vessels was nominal. As their working capital was scarce, and they were unable to invest more capital, they were in a dilemma whether to continue the business or not. Case I Questions: 1. What were the reasons for the sinking of the vessels? 2. How could they reorganize the businesses? CASE II MNC CORPORATION At MNC Corporation, a foreman of inspection noticed a mistake in the assembly of transmitter cases. The foreman, a shy man when speaking to his immediate superiors, mentioned this matter to the senior supervisor in a weak, ineffectual manner. The senior supervisor nodded his head and continued to work on a report that he was writing. Later, a production slowdown occurred, and it was...

...Step 1 Create a list of important employee policies for your business. Get help when actually writing your employee handbook. Write drafts of policies or ideas for policies that are important to the way you want to run your business. For example, you may have a certain code of conduct that you want employees to follow or you may wish to draft a policy to ensure that a particular person or department is not overstepped. The U.S. Small Business Administration advises that you should have basic employee policies regarding wages, discrimination and other important issues. Consult the administration and an attorney when drafting policy to ensure it is legal and serves your purpose. Step 2 Write policies in clear, easy-to-understand language. Include definitions where words may have multiple meanings and avoid using words that may be easily misconstrued. For example, the Nonprofit Risk Management Center advises against ever using the term "permanent employee," as it suggests that an employee cannot be fired. Consult your attorney about any other easily misinterpreted words. Related Reading: Employee Drug Policy Step 3 Clearly communicate your policy to your employees and their supervisors. Hold training session during which you explain policies and solicit questions. Address "what-if" questions. For example, if your office has a policy for anonymously reporting sexual harassment, answer the question, "What if I am feeling harassed, but I don't want anyone to know...

...I've been mulling over how exactly to share my views on this for months. I've been reading all of the draft talk banter back & forth. Pro & con..........good & bad.......reasons for drafting him or not drafting Glenn Dorsey. In addition to all of the other guys we're considering at No. 2. As a long time Ram fan I know what it's like for us to be drafting early. This ain't my first rodeo, & I've been here b4. However an early draft pick, not to mention the No. 2 overall pick in the draft presents it's own set of problems. I'm sure many of us still remember the Lawrence Phillips DISASTER back in 96. We picked him as the 6th overall pick that yr. and he NEVER lived up to billing. All of the crying Vermeil did over that kid, was just a waste of time & that poor draft pick cost us for yrs. Luckily for us we turned it ALL around in 1999, w/ some key signings & the drafting of Torry in the first round. But that wasn't the end (unfortunately) of our Rams making HORRIBLE selections in the first round. Heck even our GOOD selections are a mixed blessing IMHO. Torry Holt has been the BEST draft pick EVER in my recent memory. But what about big Orlando Pace? Ohhhhh yeah everyone loves our big LT, & I admit I've enjoyed watching him wear the horns over the yrs. But everyone seems to forget how much trouble he's given our organization as well. He hasn't always been the team player that many ppl think he is. Ohhh no there has been a Dark side to the BIG O, that alot of ppl have...

...* 1. What are two or three of the most important concepts you have learned about academic writing for graduate students? The concepts I learned in writing are practicing better writing habits, by skill. I was able to improve upon my use of commas, drafting complete sentences, avoiding sentence fragments and ensuring drafted essays are in compliance with APA guidelines. I was also able to draft better writing essays by using critique methods. Synthesis essays seem to relate to multiple articles on the same topic. Relating multiple topics have the ability to relate information in a argumentative or informational manner. Difference approaches can be taken in order relay important information and build facts upon discussion topics. 2. What advice for success would you give to a student who was considering taking this class? The advice I would give for success to students is to prepare and familiarize yourself with the information being presented. This could be taking a week or two before the course starts to read over the materials and review the topics and understand the depth of the information. This will give students a successful head start into the program and help them understand the information better, more smoother and faster. 3. Please share any other thoughts that come to mind. This has been a really great and informative course. A lot of my writing was drafted in hopes that it was, or might be corrector great writing. With this class, I was about to put everything...

...Table of Contents Future of League Drafts and Age Entry…………………………………….4 Changes in drug testing policies in professional sports…………….7 League Finances……………………………………………………………………..9 Player Safety…………………………………………………………………………..11 ABSTRACT Professional sports are leagues that are made for the best of the best athletes in sports. Once a player leaves the collegiate level of sports and moves into the professional level, he is now competing every day for his job. Owners try hard to build their team from the ground up. When a team is struggling, owners try to find new solutions to bring in team revenue and on the other hand when a team is successful owners try hard to keep players by offering large contracts that they can afford. To keep order on teams, leagues have strict drug testing policy that keeps players healthy and allows the playing field to be fair. Leagues make changes for the better of the players and the fans. In order to market effectively leagues do what it takes to allow more access to the fans by using technology. Commissioners take notice on feedback from players and fans in order to make the sport safer to play and fun to watch. When watching a professional sports game, we do not see the orchestrating job of the league commissioner, team owners, and players. From players entering the league at a young age from college, they need to be ready to compete for their position and take in all the rules the league hand out. Super star players carry...

...thousands of years, to achieve certain goals through the use of force. The major causes for war are resources, which can be territory, water, gold, minerals or animals; and ideologies: political beliefs, religion, philosophical differences. In other words, brutal outrageous kings, rulers, commanders and emperors possessed the purpose of having power and control over the whole world. But do these egoistic goals really bring benefit to humanity? Many people are sure that any war is unfair and should be stopped, as it brings only harm and damage. People are losing their homes, relatives, lives, but they aren’t even the part of the war. Many men want to refuse participating in war and killing people, but they must do it because of a draft. Millions of innocent people are dying, e.g. casualties in WWI were above 11 millions, in WWII – almost 60 millions, and in the War in Iraq – already near 107 thousands and the death count still increases every day. War also destroys the towns, earth, and nature and brings terrible chaos to the land, where it occurs. Many plants, factories, historical buildings are crushed down and there is the enormous harm to the environment. Mother Nature gives all men so many miracles, and in return it gets great suffering from such a horrible activity as war. Moreover, war affects every citizen, as everybody has to pay money for the soldiers, theirs travels and food. For example, in the WWI 196.5 billion of dollars was spent, in the WWII – $2...
