...Tupac Tupac wanted to be more than just a rapper in the eyes of the crowd that so proudly gathered to hear him out. He wanted to be a voice in the midst of suffering, to inspire those who came from the streets where poverty reeks. Tupac was a prosperous actor, a man of tranquility, a man so beautiful he’d make you want to come through the screen and listen to him by any means as he shares with you his every dream. His eyes glowing with every word of sincerity, as he talks about unity between every community. He made you want to love him like your twin. He dared you to find the lies, to prove he’s crazy from within. Tupac wrote a poem named “The rose that grew from the concrete” “Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete? Proving nature’s law is wrong it Learned to walk without having feet Funny it seems, but by keeping it’s dreams, It learned to breathe fresh air Long live that rose that grew from concrete When no one else ever cared” Tupac represents the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete. He wrote this poem about life and being raised in a place where no one expected you to succeed in life. Tupac promted freedom, but he believed that Freedom wouldn’t come without a sacrifice, a sacrifice to be willing to risk everything for the greater purpose. One person willing to get beat, so others could eat, one person willing to die, so others could get by. Tupac thought of himself be like the man Job, in the book of the bible...

Although there are many studies regarding this aspect, approaches on emergent ex-communist countries’ economies, especially for Romania, are very few comparatively to the general cases. Our paper examines the correlation between capital market development and economic growth in Romania using a regression function and VAR models. The results show that the capital market development is positively correlated with economic growth, with feed-back effect, but the strongest link is from economic growth to capital market, suggesting that financial development follows economic growth, economic growth determining financial institutions to change and...

Managers use this analysis to answer different questions like: How will incomes and costs be affected if we still sell 1.000 units? But if you expand or reduce selling prices? If we expand our business in foreign markets? KEY WORDS: cost-volume-profit, marginal contribution, break-even, the equation method, the marginal contribution method, graphical method The cost-volume-profit is a necessary tool for forecasting also for management control. The method includes a number of techniques and methods of solving problems based on understanding patterns of evolution characteristics of business costs. The techniques express the relationship between incomes, sales structure, costs, production volume and profits and include break-even analysis and profit forecasting processes. This relationship provides a general model of economic activity, which management can use to short-term forecasts for business performance evaluation and analysis of decision alternatives. The marginal contribution is the difference between total revenue and totals variable costs and explains how changes the operating...

...are declining. The following report provides three alternatives that have been proposed to improve operating income and cash flow. 2007 financial information is included, followed by the expected results of each alternative. 2007 Financial Data: Alternative 1: Increase the Selling Price and Improve Cart Quality Summary: Alternative 1 increases the cart selling price by 14% for all models. Due to the high price elasticity index of carts, annual cart sales are estimated to drop to 39,500 carts, down from 60,000 carts sold in 2007. The increase in sales price exceeds the increase in variable costs, increasing the contribution margin. Operating leverage is increased to 5.56, however due to the decreased sales volume, total operating income falls $229,231 to $250,669. This strategy is recommended only if sales volume can be sustained or increased. Increased operating leverage allows Nelson to achieve large increases in operating income with increases in sales. Under this scenario, if sales increase 20%, then operating income would increase 111%. Likewise, increased operating leverage increases the risk that if sales decrease by 20%, then operating income will decrease by 111%. Alternative 1 Projected Financial Data: Alternative 2: Increasing Fixed Costs with Automation Summary: Alternative two automates portions of the cutting, welding and painting departments. Quality is not increased due to automation, so sales price increases 5% from 2007 levels...

...Sustainability from an economic perspective Introduction In 1987 the World Commission on Environment and Development tried to resolve the problem that lies in contradictions between environment and economical goals; the result was formed in definition of sustainable development: ‘Sustainable development is development which meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs’ (Smith & Rees 1998, p. 15). Since that long time ago 1987, there have been a lot of researches in this field, and three essential aspects of sustainable development have been defined (Kronenberg & Bergier 2012, p. 24). At first, there is economic – a sustainable system must be able to produce goods and services on a permanent basis, to maintain appropriate levels of debt (government as well as external one), and to avoid significant disbalance in different sectors (that can damage agricultural or industrial production). Second one is environmental aspect – a sustainable system must maintain a stable resource base, avoid over-exploitation of renewable resources, and exhausting nonrenewable resources only if adequate substitutes exist. The last aspect is social one - a sustainable system must characterized by fair distribution and opportunity for everybody, provision of social services (like health, education, etc.) on the adequate level, gender equity, and political accountability and participation (Hofkes 1996, p. 342).These three aspects of sustainability...

The socio- demographic profile and its correlation to the barriers for accessing the health-care is also attempted. The suggestions include removing spatial inequities, a region specific plan for health care for increasing accessibility of the inhabitants in the slum and designing an integrated and sustainable primary healthcare service delivery with emphasis on improved family planning, maternal health and child health services in the urban poor living in slums. International Journal of Research in Economics & Social Sciences http://www.euroasiapub.org 52 IJRESS Volume 3, Issue 1 (January 2013) ISSN: 2249-7382 INTRODUCTION Slum are characterized by poverty, dilapidated housing, over crowding, concentration of lower class, racial segregation, crime, health problems, broken houses, alienation and an unhygienic environment. Different terms have been used for slums in different cities and countries. In India, they are known by various names. For example, in Delhi they are known as Katras, Gallis, Jhuggi- Jhopadpatti. Similarly, they are known as Chawls in Mumbai, Ahatas in Kanpur, Bustee in Calcutta, Cheris in...

...and lend money in with purpose of generating profit Ahuja 2008). 2.1.3 Central Bank, Reserve Bank or Monetary Authority is a public institution that manages a state's currency, money supply, and interest rates. Central banks also usually oversee the commercial banking system of their respective countries. In contrast to a commercial bank, a central bank possesses a monopoly on increasing the nation's monetary base, and usually also prints the national currency, which usually serves as the nation's legal tender (www.en.wikipedia.org). 3.0 HOW BANKS CREATE CREDITS The source of money supply in the form of currency is circulation in Central Bank. It ensures the availability of currency to meet the transaction needs of the economy. The total volume of money in the economy should be adequate to facilitate the various types...

...Citation Guide for Papers To show the research that you have done for your papers, you need to cite your references. There are two predominant referencing systems: (1) footnotes/endnotes or (2) parenthetical referencing. You may use either method, but you must follow proper citation formats. Below is a basic guide for your research design bibliography and paper citations. These cover the most common types of sources, but there are dozens of variations that cannot be covered in a handout. The only way to know how to deal with these is to consult a style manual. If you do not own one, you should purchase one. There are no hard and fast rules for when to include a reference in your work. The general purpose is to allow the reader to go and find the sources that you used. So you want to give them proper “directions”. In general, if you are representing the ideas of someone else – and absolutely when you are using their exact words! – then you should include a reference. The best rule of thumb is, if you are not sure if you need a reference or not, go ahead and include it. Better to “over-cite” than to “under-cite”. NOTE: Many of your sources will likely be gathered through online databases that contain PDF or html version of printed articles. Since these articles ‘original form’ is a paper version, you should cite them as such. That is, an article from Newsweek downloaded from the library’s Academic Search Premier article database should be cited just the same as if you had...
