...he is the son of two lawyers and that he spends most of his time in their office and in courtrooms. He is also very single-minded and knows what he stands for and what he wants to achive. One thing i remember from the book is when Theo gets permission to go to one of the biggest trials of the year, and stands before his classmates before he leaves school for it with his yellow legal pad and looked att tem as if he was a real lawyer preparing to adress the jury. Then he says "All right, Show of hands. Who thinks Pete Duffy is guilty?" Pete Being the suspect. And after almost everybody raised their hands he became furious and began to educate them about the ”presumtion of innocence” which gave me a really good picture of this little genious boy and made me want to read further about his experiences of the law. I really liked this book since it was alot about the law which I truly love, and one thing that was even better is that the author kept me guessing troughout the whole story until finelly everything came...

...Family is the greatest gift in life, family in fact is the greatest gift that God has given to human being. Family is where we all belong to and from where our identity comes. A person can be judged from his valued that he has got from his family. We all belong to a family and it is our family that keeps us together through good and bad times. Without a family, no one is complete and the completeness comes with good family bonding. Family is all about pureness, trustworthiness, completeness. By just saying that you live with your family does not hold any values to being a part of the family. Five- six persons living in a house does not become a family. Family is a bond, a long lasting relationship that holds a bond with each other. Who can tell the value of a family then myself. Today I am away from my home for the last 4 months and there is not a single day when I have not missed my family. In fact I want to be honest here, I have never realised the value of a family, when I was with my family I guess most of the times I used to take everyone for granted, but know being away from my family, I know the value of a family. There are many values that one has to learn to get the family bonding in the right manner. Bonding does not happen overnight. It forms with every second, every minute that you spend with your loved ones. The understanding, the acceptance, the belonging and the security all enclosed together is how a family bond is formed. Whenever are in trouble or in...

...will include a review of the Madoff Securities case. The Madoff Securities case involved the cunning Bernard L. Madoff swindling his clients to believe that he could guarantee them high profits. Madoff is the largest Ponzi scheme in history. Madoff Securities Case Bernard L. Madoff started the investment firm Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities (BLMIS). Bernard Madoff began trading securities from the 1960s. From as early as 1962, it is believed Madoff started hiding his clients’ losses. Madoff hid the losses from his clients in order to boost his reputation. The larger portion of Madoff’s fraudulent activity began in the 1970s, under BLMIS. In this time Madoff began using his supposed genious tactics to make a profit from pricing errors in the stock exchange (Lewis, 2013). Madoff’s clients were led to believe that their invested funds were invested in as many as 35 to 50 common stocks from the S&P 100 index (Lewis, 2013). If there was a case in which all of the client’s funds were not invested in common stock, then Madoff told the clients the money was invested in money market accounts or government issued securities (Lewis, 2013). However, Madoff was not actually investing the client’s funds, but instead placed the money in his bank account. Madoff gave the client’s funds to friends, family, and those who aided Madoff in his fraudulent scheme (Lewis, 2013). Madoff boosted his character in the public eye, by giving...

.... When we hear about Marks and Spencer, the first thing that comes to our mind is its headquarter in the city of Westminster, London. Frankly speaking, regardless whether it is a subconscious action or not, Marks and Spencer is more related to clothes and food products than anything else, at least for its normal consumers. With 703 stores in United Kingdom alone along with more than 400 stores spread across 40 countries worldwide, it is truly one of the biggest retail giants the world will ever come across.

Naisip ko lang, pagharap ko kay Lord sakaling madeds na ako gaano ba kalinis ang konsensya ko, kung meron man. Kung ililitanya ko lahat ng pagkakataong nagkasala ako baka i-close mo na ito at hindi na basahin. Pero guilty ako sa halos lahat ng kasalanan na maiisip mo at kaya mong ilimita sa salita wag mo lang akong mabintangbintangan na nagpa-abort. Pero sa nakaraang enrolment ngayong semester, sa buong linggo kong pamomroblema sa schedule ko, mukhang nadagdagan ng mga tatlong chapters ang libro ng kasalanan ko. Kinakabahan na ako at baka ang seven deadly sins ay pangkaraniwan na lang sa buhay ko. So am I guilty? Let’s check. ANGER Umabot ako sa puntong lahat ng bagay ay napagbuntungan ko ng galit. Lahat nasungitan ko, baka nga napikon na sakin yung mga kasama ko. Pero kung susumahin, iilang beses palang talaga ako sobrang nagalit sa buong buhay ko (kung tama ang pagkakaalala ko). Galit na galit ako nun nung hindi ko naranasan maski minsan ang JS prom at nung pakiramdam ko ay naloko ako, sa sobrang bigat nung pakiramdam lalo na at hindi ko mailabas dahil hindi ko kayang kagalitan yung taong gumawa sa akin nun, halos gabi gabi kapag mag-isa ako ay umiiyak talaga ako, yun lang kasi ang kaya ko we.

...Immortal Beloved The Immortal Beloved is by far one of the most moving and inspirational movies I have seen. The reason I say this is because throughout the movie Ludwig van Beethoven’s music defines the mood of each and every scene. For example, in the very beginning of the movie where they were showing Beethoven’s funeral they were using a very slow tempo and dramatic sounds in order to show the gloomy and upsetting atmosphere that was surrounding this particular scene. I think just by using the emotions of the people and further expressing it with his music accentuates everything to make it all fall in together, without it; it would be just a plain scene with people talking no emotions or anything. Throughout the film, the director showed and expressed the struggles that Beethoven had to endure due to his deafness. When they are trying to show the struggle that Beethoven has to endure with his deafness I noticed that they started to play a little more faster, and then I believe Beethoven could see what they were playing and that made him enjoy the music that much more. In the part where Beethoven was secretly playing so that no one could see him play, he put his head down on the piano because I believe he was trying to feel the vibrations of the piano in order to feel his music. I think that by just showing how he could love the music even though he had no way of ever hearing it shows the superior capability and love he had for music. Beethoven’s music...

Google strategy is infact primarly focused on collecting, organizing and finally making information available to his customer.

...How succesfull was domestic policy of Napoleon III? All was going well for Louis Bonaparte when he sat on the throne of France. It seemed that the lack of military genious that his uncle enjoed was replaced with the economic prosperity of the country which came with the affection of providence at the same time when he took his position as the Emperor of France. But overall, Napoleon III had an aim to maintatin his status quo, so according to that he change the features of his domestic policies from authotorian to liberal. These changes resoult mainly in succes. Aspects that changed in accordance to the transition of his ideology was, for example, the relationship with the Church. Napoleon knew that he would need the suport of the Church to approve his coup d'etat. The Legitimists among the clerigy view the Empire as a more Catholic friendly enviroment, and wealthy Catholics thought that the Emperor will, if suported, ensure prosperity for cleregy and religion from which Catholics of all social ranks will have benefits. Therefore, it is clear that the relationship during the reign of Napoleon III was largly pragmatic. Latter on, Napoleon tried to decrease the influence of Church in politics and familly lifes, but in the same time use clerigy as a tool to diminish the imapact of the press. I think this was succesfull because more room was left to people who specialised in economic and social matters and were, therefore more appropriatte for the course of development...

Though you will want to go over most of this with an attorney, as stated most attorneys don’t have an in depth understanding of everything or the vision you have for your company needs and it always helps doing your homework prior to making any final decisions. Let’s go over a few legal issues/situations that are evaluated when investors sought out new ventures. First, we will start with the business plan itself and the “idea” of it. Too often new businesses slam into a brick wall because of incomplete business plans and more than often you will not be able to find anyone that will want to invest into this so call “Back of The Napkin” business plan, one genious idea scratched onto and napkin and the millions start flowing in. The truth is that no new business has ever succeeded without a detailed and thorough business plan. The name comes from the notion...

...be his handing over the presidency to Thomas Jefferson. By giving up the office, he followed in George Washington’s footsteps and chose to do the right thing for the good of the nation. Although John Adams is thought to not have been a very good president, he did have the added challenges of dealing with the federalist and anti-federalist conflict. Both George Washington and John Adams lived in the same era, and therefore experienced similar victories and challenges as our nation worked towards its independence. Even though Adams received more education than Washington, Washington made up for his lack of higher education by the trust and respect he had from the public. George Washington was a president of great character, “Washington’s genious, Washington’s greatness, lay in his character.” (Revolutionary Characters pg 34) Despite the fact that both Presidents played a role in the American Revolution, they differed in how they took part in the revolution. George Washington took part more physically by fighting for independence, while John Adams stood back from actual fighting and took on a political figure by joining the Continental Congress. Both having crucial roles in the revolution, Washington had a greater influence in that his actions led the army to victory which helped shape the nation’s future while Adams simply stepped in after the fighting was over and the nation was free of Great Britain’s ruling. ...
