The fax contained the following: “On November 2, 2007, Bissett faxed the following letter to Schippers: In reference to the development known as The Landings at Crystal Creek, Fifth Third Bank ("Lender") and Crystal Creek Enterprises, L.L.C.

Due to recent unforeseen events involving the prior project engineer, the projected development costs have been altered. The Bank recognizes the cost budget for land development at The Landings at Crystal Creek has increased and will provide the necessary financing for the updated costs provided via fax from Schippers Excavating...

...Point: UK Banking Industry UK’s banking sector, following the US and Japan, is the world’s third largest and considered foremost in terms of: efficiency, dynamism and return on capital. It services 95% of the population with about 3.5% of UK’s total workforce - over a million workers. The decade ending 2005 witnessed a surge of three folds in assets to €5526 billion, lending and deposits more than two fold to €3284 billion and €4984 respectively. The financial sector’s productivity is growing at three times the pace of the economy and reflects an increasing share of the GDP. Last year, banks and financial services contributed £70 billion to the country’s national output, equivalent to nearly 7 percent of the country’s GDP – 100 % percent increase from 2003. UK leads as a major international center for investment and private banking, cross border banking and accounts for a fifth of global international lending; with banks in London handling a third of the global foreign exchange business. Deregulation, Competition and Consolidation UK’s banking industry has seen a radical transformation with market liberalization by deregulation and the resultant competition.

The first step Bank of America should take is to gain the support of the government by getting the Chinese people to understand the benefits of having credit a card. They should do surveys showing why Chinese customers not interested in credit card usage.

The second process is to develop an infrastructure to have more atm’s and banks so they are easily accessible for the Chinese customers. Have more atm’s in place where Chinese customers can access them for example...

On the other side, DNBFC provision for loan losses have increased reasonably in 2008 to become (10%). In addition, the net income increased steadily after 2008 too. It appears, so far, from the Net Income Statement that DNBFC is doing much better than ORRF.

Maryland (1819) (1) Constitutional Question: Was the Maryland law unconstitutional towards the Bank of the United States, under Article I, Section 8, of the constitution, to tax the Bank?

...have continued to growl over their high-altitude frontier since. Indians envy China's economic rise, but console themselves by pointing out that it is no democracy. Aside from stiff displays of fraternity at summits, most recently the G20 bash in Mexico on June 18th-19th, China seems not to think much about India at all. Investment flows are negligible. There are still no direct flights between Beijing or Shanghai and Mumbai, India's commercial hub. And yet a huge shift has taken place in the make-up of Indian trade. When India began to liberalise its economy in 1991, the West still dominated the world economy, and it was to the West that India turned for trade. China's rise has now changed everything—for India, too. China is now its third-largest trading partner in goods, and the biggest if you include Hong Kong. For China's East Asian neighbours a dominant trade with China is a given, but Indians are still trying to digest the development. Rising trade with China has been good for India. It mainly imports Chinese capital goods, with firms benefiting from cheap and decent gear. The giant Reliance Group has bought kit for power stations and telecoms networks—partly paid for with competitive Chinese loans. Chinese firms have often strived to win such business. Pan Song of Shanghai Electric, which makes power equipment for Reliance, among...

...Old Age Allowance Programme of Bangladesh: Challenges and Lessons Sharifa Begum Senior Research Fellow Bangladesh Institute of Development Studies (BIDS) Background of the Old Age Allowance • As in other countries, Bangladesh too started experiencing population ageing; • According to UN Population Projection, share of older people by 2050 will reach around 20% and absolute number would become more than 40 million. • Government’s concern for older people until 1990’s was limited to public sector employees only who represent around 5% of the labour force and 1% of the older people. Background (contd.) • Following increase of older people and more than that following recent global concerns for these people, the Govt. of Bangladesh in recent years became sensitive about older people and felt to do something beyond moral preaching. • Consequently, the government introduced a Monthly Allowance Programme for older people in April 1998. In case of Bangladesh, the credit for the programme almost entirely goes to the Govt. Main Features of the Programme • • • • • • Means-tested programme Provides monthly allowance to poor elderly Benefit has no condition attached to it Financed from the country’s national budget Has countrywide coverage Accomplished substantial expansion since introduction; – beneficiaries increased from 0.4 to 2.75 million – Monthly allowance increased from BDT 100 to BDT 300; Main Features (contd.) • • • ...

...Criminal Law Evaluation In order to understand criminal law one must evaluate the different aspects that exist in criminal law itself. Understanding the purpose, sources, the jurisdictions, and the type of system the United States uses for due process allow for better insight. A brief look at criminal law through liability and anticipated crimes one are able to get a look at police power to protect citizens, remove and rehabilitate criminals. Purpose and sources of criminal law According to Max Weber, “the primary purpose of law is to regulate the flow of human interaction” (Schmalleger, 2010). Criminal law is put into place to allow for a civilized community with the feel of safety by removing criminals and attempting rehabilitation. A more specific list of the purposes of criminal law is to “protect members of the public from harm, preserve and maintain social order, support fundamental social values, distinguish criminal wrongs from civil wrongs, express communal condemnation of criminal behavior, deter people from criminal activity, stipulate the degree of seriousness of criminal conduct, establish criteria for the clear determination of guilt or innocence at trial, punish those who commit crimes, rehabilitate offenders, and assuage victims of crime” (Schmalleger, 2010). Three sources of criminal law are the Constitution, case law, and statutory law. The Constitution is the highest form of law in the United States. The Constitution does not state specific criminal laws...
