...------------------------------------------------- Edwin w. edwards Louisiana Political Fraud August 25, 2013 Professor Cynthia waddell By: Christina Black August 25, 2013 Professor Cynthia waddell By: Christina Black Politics in Louisiana has and still remains to be today a controversial and interesting issue. Since statehood in 1812, Louisiana has been traditionally conservative and today remains to be marginally democratic. It has long been known for its toleration of corruption in government. In his manuscript, “Peapatch Politics: The Earl long Era in Louisiana Politics”, former Lieutenant Governor Bill Dodd describes corruption as "a way of life, inherited, and made quasi-respectable and legal by the French freebooters who founded, operated, and left us as the governmental blueprint that is still Louisiana's constitutional and civil law." Among the 50 United States, Louisiana ranks as number 15 with an overall grade of a C minus on the Corruption Risk Report Card. (Louisiana - Legislative Accountability, 2013) Serving as Louisiana’s fiftieth governor for four terms in 1972 to 1980 and 1984 to 1988, Edwin Washington Edwards, who is remembered by many as a colorful, powerful, and legendary figure in Louisiana politics, ended his sixteen years in office short of colorful and powerful. The former Governor of Louisiana, Edwards was subject to a near two dozen state and federal investigations beginning in 1960 when he held a Congress position. Edward’s fraud behaviors...

...required of me to exceed on what is being expected of me when I had my feedback from my supervisor. The schedule that we work is great, but the fact the matter is, we will be working four days 12 hour shift and two days off. It will not be a normal schedule like we used to, because we would have weekends off every other cycle, because of this, we have minimum manning. However, I feel as though the old buddy system is being carried on by the higher ranking individuals and even if I tried to put in for an award for the cop of the month, or a quarterly award, it is more than likely that someone else is getting it. But what makes it worse is that the individuals who end up getting an award are the same people that received disciplinary actions through paperwork for their wrongdoing from our leadership. Funny how things go around in my unit, when really there are good hardworking individuals that are out there, which I believe deserve a chance to be recognize. If I were a leader, I would first and foremost change how things work in our unit, such as getting rid of the old buddy system, the favoritism needs to go away, anyone that display such...

...00:37:10 to 00:39:30 Charles Foster Kane just start his new job : he is now controlling a newspaper in New York, the Inquirer. He’s with Jedediah Leland and Mr.Bernstein, they are just discussing about the future of the Inquirer but then Mr.Kane has an idea : he’s going to write a declaration of principles. This is the beginning of the desillusion for the spectator who believes in a good Charles. However, the scene is quite intersting in the way it has been filmed, especially in the second part of the extract. When he’s writing his declaration, Mr.Kane is in the shadow when the others are under the light to show that his ideas will never appear in reality. This is also like a funeral for his principles since he’ll never apply them. They are stillborn but the most impressive play with the camera is the one of Leland who is purposely looking at the lens to expliain his feeling to the spectator. In fact, he wants to keep the paper with the declaration on it since he thinks that it could become a treasure. The character is announcing the defeat of kindness at the beginning of the movie so the spectator can enjoy the fall of Charles Foster Kane. There is a sort of intimity between Leland and the ones in front of the screen. Thus, this is one of the most important scenes of the movie because it summarize well the all concept of Mr.Kane : a kind man who wants to help people but who is too obsessed by his own succes and power....

...What exactly can encapsulate how a year in Cambridge has been like? What choice of words, what photos, what specific memories would suffice to capture the whirlwind of emotions, the myriad of new experiences? Nothing really seems to come close, but here’s a shot at it. Cook-outs – One of the first few things that you’ll start missing when overseas would definitely be the food; your humble hokkein mee, chye tao kueh, rojak, laksa… you name it, we’ll crave it. The fact that the only photos that Singaporeans seem capable of posting on Facebook are that of food certainly doesn’t make things easier. So what does one do then? LEARN HOW TO COOK. This was no mean feat for me especially, as someone who didn’t know how to cook an omelette without charring. The learning curve may be steep but you’ll be surprised at how fast you’ll learn and also how high your tolerance for substandard food becomes when you’ve misjudged the time to let your noodles boil and the amount of salt to add for the 912695th time. Not to worry also, CUMSA is overrun by excellent individuals who are so well-rounded that they can not only finish all their supervision work, attend formals every night and generally save the world, but they can cook. So when you’re tired of eating over-salted soggy noodles, all you need to do is wrangle an invitation to dinner. Oh the delicacies that they can whip up, but more importantly the glorious company and bonds forged over dinner. Food really is one of the ties that bind Singaporeans...

...hiring and retention of associates. A planned orientation for new associates is detailed, time consuming, and costly. During this training period the new associates are usually over burdened with filling in for an absent associate. In most cases the orientation is interrupted resulting inadequate training and education. Essential skills such as learning to deal with and handle difficult customers are not relayed. Proposed Solution: To improve the hiring and retention at these locations, the district managers held several meetings with their fellow associates. During the open forum, associates proposed ways to improve their workplace to make it more favorable. Most of the ideas proposed ranged from having uninterrupted work breaks, having a buddy system, an incentive pay, and educational seminars. An exit tool was reassessed and made friendlier to enable associates to be eligible for rehire. In conclusion, everyone was in mutual agreement that money saved by reducing the turnover rate could be applied to increased wages, provide better health coverage, and tuition reimbursements....

...Buddy Holly, Chronological Have you heard the songs "Peggy Sue" and "That'll Be The Day"? Well if you haven't, scoot on over and give a listen. Your life will probably be changed. My music has the groove that people swing for, and the beat that keeps 'em dancing. And by MY music I mean ME, Buddy Holly, the darndest rock artist of the 1900s. So stay right there and listen to my story. I was born in Lubbock, Texas, 1936. I was the youngest of my family and was also the last child. I had two brothers named Travis and Larry. My birth name was Charles Hardin Holley, but my momma thought Charles Hardin was too long for her baby boy, so naturally she called me Buddy. My brothers taught me the basics of guitar at a young age while I also learned to...

...Essay Thesis: Buddy Willard Esther's ex, pressures her into bad situations and to do things she has never done before due to his character issues and lack of respect for Esther. Buddy Willard is Esther's former boyfriend. He's the kind of guy that, in a mothers perspective is always trying to get you to be more like him. And if it's from a girls perspective, he's the kind of guy that your mother is always trying to set you up with because he's her idea of perfection, contrary to what your idea of perfection is. No matter how great he seems as a boy, you know there has to be something terribly wrong with him to make your mother like him so much. While Buddy looks great on paper, Buddy's interactions with Esther reveal him to be at times dumb, oblivious, and just plain pathetic. Buddy is constantly making Esther feel irrational and ignorant in contrast to his conceited sense of superiority and falsely confidence. When Buddy undresses in front of Esther, and Esther compares him to a "turkey gizzard", it's hard not to feel that Buddy sort of deserves to be ridiculed. The way Buddy talks about Esther I think affects her. When somebody you care about makes you feel like crap that it really takes a toll on you. You want to how much you appreciate and admire the person you care about, not have them dampen them with a lack of interest, making yourself feel better, and a misunderstanding of how to treat a woman. Esther idolizes Buddy but he never...

...Bud Caldwell is ten years old. At the age of six, Bud’s mother died. Bud lives in an orphanage, called the Home, since he does not have any family members to take care of him. When Bud heard he was going to live with the Amos, he wasn’t very excited. He heard that Mr. and Mrs. Amos’ son, Todd, was two years older than he is. Bud’s friend, Bugs, was going to live with a family that had three little girls. Bud would rather take Bugs’ new family than live with a twelve year old boy any day. Bud had a suitcase full of important things like a photo of his mother, rocks that his mother gave to him from different states and flyers that could lead Bud to his father (who he thought was Herman E. Calloway). The next morning after Bud arrived at the Amos’ house, he was awakened by a pencil that was shoved up his nose by Todd. Bud knew he wasn’t going to let this happen without a fight, but a bed wetter like him wouldn’t have a chance against someone like Todd. But, when Bud slapped Todd, Todd started punching Bud until he balled up in the corner of the room. Then, Mrs.Amose was watching Todd supposedly have an asthma attack while Bud was hiding under the bed. Since Mrs. Amos was concerned about Todd’s safety, she instructed Mr. Amos to put away Bud’s suitcase, get a pillow and a blanket, and take Bud to the shed. In the morning, the Amos would call the home and tell them to come get Bud. Todd kept telling these so called “true stories” to Bud about what happened to the last kid that...

...When Rock arrived on the music charts in the 1950's, a merging of African-American and White music, it made a huge impact on society. As a general rule I am not heavily into music, but I was drawn to Rock for some inexplicable reason. It is just the music I like. This genre will be difficult to write about because the origin of Rock is unclear; there are traces of Rock's style back into the 19th Century. It is also a very broad subject and I will have to compress a lot of information into as few pages as possible. Be that as it may, Rock is, in my opinion the best music genre on the charts. There is so much information on Rock that I will have to have questions I want to find the answers to about the music. My first question will be, "What instruments are commonly used in a rock band?" This will not be hard to answer as it is a very easy question that has a definite answer. The next question will be, "Who were the first artists to produce Rock music?" This is also an easy question were I will discuss the first Rockers. Continuing on, my next question will ask, "How was the term Rock and Roll' created, and by who?" This may turn out to be a hard question to answer because I am sure there a multiple answers. "Has Rock become more or less popular since its inception?" will be my next question. For this question I will have to look for a survey or poll of some type and present its data. My final question will be, "How has the Music been changed over the years and who changed...

...The Eagles’ rock epic “Hotel California” is written in a verse/chorus format. It contains four verses, two iterations of the chorus, a coda, and a lengthy guitar solo to end the song. The standard Eagles’ instrumental setup for the song includes drummer Don Henley singing, as well as playing the drums. Joe Walsh, Don Felder, and Glen Frey play guitars, and bassist Randy Meisner plays the bass. All four offer backup vocals during the chorus. It is safe to say that both songs are considered “legendary” rock songs, as they are still very popular today. “American Pie” tells the story of the U.S. in the 1960s, starting on the “day the music died”, referring to the 1959 plane crash that killed musical icons Big Bopper, Ritchie Valens and Buddy Holly. McLean then tells the story of the 60s in the United States via...

...Autobiography My name is Adlemi Larissa Ramos and I would just like to take this time to talk to you a little bit about myself, my family, my past and how it has made me who I am today, my present plans and how I am working on myself to become a better me, and the plans I have for my future. In my family there are six of us. There’s my dad, Jose Luis Ramos, who I hate to say it, but I am just like him. My mom’s name is Rosa Imelda Ramos. She’s not the best, nor the most perfect, but nonetheless, I love her. I have an older brother whose name is Jose Angel Ramos. He sort of the black sheep of the family. He no longer lives with us but boy, how I miss those late-night McDonald’s runs. Next comes me. I don’t always like talking about myself or describing myself because I feel everyone has their own opinion as to “what you’re like.” After me comes my sister, Tiare Monique Ramos. She has quite an attitude, that one. I’ve grown to live with it. After her is my brother, Lineker Kothan Ramos. He’s a “mini-me” of my older brother and the silliest, most sensitive, non-filtered boy ever. Quite the family, huh? I am not married nor do I have any kids but I do have a loving man by my side. I met Ariel Madrid back in 2014 when my schedule in high school changed and I was moved into his chemistry class. Yes, this is the same Ariel Madrid that sits right next to me in class. We have been together now for one year and nine months and in that time period I have learned to love again, I have learned...

...Please let us know why you have decided to apply to Grant Thornton and what you think differentiates us from our competitors. One of the main reasons why I have decided to apply to Grant Thornton (GT) is the ability to work with such a wide range of clients, predominantly the pioneering and fast growing clients in the Alternate Investment Market in which GT is the dominant accounting firm. Not having to concentrate on a particular industry at the start of my career will also give me a much more rounded business experience. GT is a leader in its field and will provide me with the opportunities and challenges that a Big 4 firm can offer but unlike the Big 4 GT can focus on, and support my personal development. I feel this is typified by the buddy system in place where an existing trainee is on hand to assist you. Finally GT has a reputation for being a leading employer that is wholly dedicated to the training of its employees; which is epitomized by the unique training experience available at Bradenham Manor. As well as being business focused, we also look for people who show a strong motivation to the business area they are applying to. Please tell us about your focus and knowledge of your chosen business area, and the relevant professional qualification? (Where applicable) A career in audit presents an unparalleled business education in addition to a highly valued professional qualification. I believe that audit provides the opportunity to completely understand the operations...
