...for which we find later that it never existed and was just the product of hallucination from a chemical. The scene sets up the tone for prodigious horror mystery to follow. After that we see a man (Henry Knight) standing in the moor surrounded by fog. At the end of the story we learn that hallucinatory sea of fog turned out to be at the root of the case and the cause for the visuals of the gigantic hound.Therefore the opening sequence was an amazing display which the viewers could relate to at the end. The complete opening sequence is constructed to give the viewers an idea of an horrific story to follow and also helps to maintain immense suspense throughout the episode. After this we see sherlock and watson at their homes. Here sherlock is shown to be desperately wanting a case and the mere delight on his face when he hears a door bell whom him and watson successfully deduce to be a client.This presents to viewers certain traits of the character and also how well watson has mingled into sherlock’s life. Unlike the Tv series the novel’s opening scenes place Sherlock Holmes in the comfortable surroundings of his home at 22IB Baker Street in London. : Dr. Watson starts the tale with a...

...contacts that could help them advance in their careers. After the term was introduced, the society became more and more aware of the unequal career opportunities offered to white men versus all other groups of people. The situation has been changing and improving, little by little. Many researches done in the 80s and 90s of the last century suggested that women were significantly underrepresented in upper management level, and their salaries and wages were much lower than the male counterpart. According to Cai & Kleiner (1999), in a 1989 estimation by the U.S. Department of Labor, only 1 to 2 percent of senior executive management positions include women. The report issued by the Federal Glass Ceiling Commission (as cited in Sincoff, Baker, & Graham, 2006), stated that in 1990 only 6.2% of federally employed women were at or above the level of middle management, while 28% of the men were at or above the same level. A study of female engineers in government services in 1991 showed that less than 3% of all federally employed engineers above the same level were female. At highest level,...

As a new manager in this department I want you all to feel free for to come to me with any questions you may have as we all work towards becoming more efficient and aware of our company’s legal aspects and obligations. In order to fully understand the role laws play into our environment I will describe some basic laws and their purpose in business and how they apply to what we do here and how we do business nationally. American Law Before we get to deep into law in America it is necessary to understand how it came about and what it stands for. American Law is based on English Law because they were the founders of the original colonies but today modern law derives from constitutions, treaties and federal statutes (Cheeseman). Constitutions are the fundamental laws our nation is made of, treaties are the agreements we hold with other nations and states and federal statutes are laws enacted by legislatures for governing the people. These make up the material body of law here in America. It is important to note that the Constitution of the United States of America is what we are governed by. Three separate branches make up our government...

...Carr (1962) (1) Constitutional Question: Can the Supreme Court make decision on legislative appointments? (2) In 1962, Charles Baker filed a suit against the Secretary of State Joe Carr over the apportioning of legislative districts. He wanted to postpone the election’s for seat in the General Assembly because, he alleged, the apportioning had not occurred since a 1901 law had required, almost 60 years. Baker said that the elections were ignoring certain population shifts, mainly the fact that people were moving towards the cities. He alleged that because of this “migration”, his vote did not count as much as someone who lived in a rural area, thus violating the 14th Amendment's Equal Protection Clause. The case was dismissed in the district courts, so Baker appealed (3) The Supreme Court ruled that because Baker had the right and the appropriate facts, the case could he evaluated, however, the Supreme Court could not. They said that they had the jurisdiction to oversee the matter and stated other examples of when they had intervened in the past to correct violations, however they said that since no questions could be answered, the case was merely a justiciable issue.

...The question is traditionally referred to as the formation of the canon. To begin our investigation we will need to have a sound understanding of the terminology. Our English word "canon" is a loan-word from the Latin canon, which in turn was derived from the Greek kanon. For our purposes it is important to trace the linguistic development of the term. While the Greek word kanon does occur in the New Testament it cannot be translated by "canon" in English. In each case it is more suitably translated "rule" or "standard" (2 Cor.10:13,15,16; Gal.6:16; Phil.3:16). It will be noted that all the occurrences of the word are in Paul's writings, and in none of these instances is he referring to the canon of Scripture. That was to be a much later development. Movement in this direction occurred when "in the second century in the Christian church kanon came to stand for revealed truth, rule of faith." 1 Here we are distinguishing the redemptive-historical idea of the Canon, in which we may take note of three main elements: 1. That of exclusive authority, according to the authorization of the apostles by Christ himself; 2. That of a qualitatively closed unity, according to the unrepeatable and unique character of the apostolic witness; 3. That of fixation and stabilization, according to its destination as foundation and depositum custodi of the Church. At the same time, it should be stated that this concept of the Canon cannot be harmonized with the idea that the Canon...

...THE COMPONENTS OF OPEN THEISM INTRODUCTION Perhaps one of the most dangerous doctrines that has influenced the church over the last few centuries is the doctrine of open theism (OT). Early Christianity until today has been strengthened and built on the confidence that God knows everything about the future. In fact, great hymns have been written claiming that God knows the future. Excellent theologians have written and supported this doctrine that elevates God as the supreme being over all. Over the last couple of centuries, a doctrine has invaded the evangelical world and has put the traditional view of God’s foreknowledge at risk. This doctrine has been called open theism. This doctrine has gained much attention in the evangelical world as it seeks to answer the questions pertaining to God’s foreknowledge. The question of God’s omniscience is at stake with the doctrine of open theism considering they claim that God is incapable of knowing what happens in the future. Therefore, it results in a lack of trust for Him and His involvement in the lives of people. The purpose of this research is to look at the components of open theism and comparing it to the historical theology of deism. DEFINING OPEN THEISM What is open theism? Open theism has been emerging for the past couple of decades. Bruce Ware, the vocal theologian who does not believe in open theism defines it as “the belief that the future is open and hence not foreknown or foreordained.” At first, it seems absurd for...

...Contract Performance: Conditions, Breach, and Remedies Learning Outcomes Checklist After studying this chapter, students who have mastered the material will be able to: Define what a condition is used for in a contract and distinguish conditions precedent from conditions subsequent. Apply the doctrines related to good faith performance, discharge of a contract, and substantial performance. Identify the ethical dilemmas that a manager faces in the context of good faith performance. Articulate circumstances that give rise to events of discharge via mutual consent and operation of law. Recognize events that result in breach of contract and explain anticipatory repudiation. Identify the appropriate remedy available to nonbreaching parties and understand the responsibilities of an injured party to avoid and mitigate damages. Explain the rights of third parties who have rights in a contract through assignment or delegation and third-party beneficiaries. Once it has been determined that a valid and enforceable contract exists, the inquiry then necessarily focuses on whether contract obligations were faithfully met through performance by the parties. Most contracts are fully performed by the parties as contemplated, but what happens if contractual commitments are not met? This chapter continues the survey of contract law with attention to rules that govern performance and consequences of nonperformance. In this chapter, students will learn: * How conditions are used in a...

...JOB AND HIS FRIENDS A PAPER PRESENTED to DR.WAYNE POPLIN LIBERTY UNIVERSITY In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for OBST 592 By Maurice Allan Smith Sr. 22943721 March 3, 2013 Introduction The book of Job is written as a dramatic poem, that deals with several age old questions, among them are the question of why the righteous suffer. The book of Job takes its name from the main character in the poem, the patriarch Job. Because Job deals with a number of universal questions, it is classified as one of the Wisdom Books of the Old Testament. Other books of this type are Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and the Song of Solomon.1 The book of Job is a very complex book in that is seems to contradict the wisdom theology found in other books like Psalms, Proverbs, and James, in that scripture seems to show that righteousness is rewarded with blessings, while a life of foolishness can result in death. Then comes the confusing book of Job that contradicts God’s previous messages of wisdom theology and shows the righteous being punished while those who do evil prosper. In this paper I will seek to show, through Job and his friends, that there are expectations to the rules established in wisdom theology and that through job and his friends we find the process to these exceptions, and that is God’s Sovereign Freedom. ------------------------------------------------- In this paper I will attempt to specifically identify, and address and evaluate each of Job’s friends...

...Robin Hood? Let me tell you all now! Who was Billy the Kid? Billy the Kid has been described as a vicious and ruthless killer, an outlaw who died at the age of 21, not before raising widespread destruction in the New Mexico Territory. It was said he took the lives of 21 men, one for each year of his life, the first one when he was just 12 years old. He was a rebel without a cause who killed without reason, but a young man who lived in a violent world where knowing how to use a gun was the difference between life and death. Name During his early life he was called… When his mother, Catherine McCarty remarried a man named William Antrim, the family now had two Williams. Therefore, Catherine started calling her son by his middle name, Henry. He had a childhood friend from Silver City, Chauncey Truesdell, who recalled, “Henry's first name was Billy, but they called him by his middle name to keep him from getting mixed up with his stepfather.” Even though his first name was William, he became famous as Billy, the Kid. And, as all famous men, they have their famous actions… Famous Actions Billy the Kid is known as one of the most famous outlaws in American history, but why? When we look at his outlaw status, he really was not a wicked man by outlaw standards. So how bad was he? Below I give a listing of Billy the Kid's criminal record. Petty theft: On two occasions in Silver City: First time, the Kid stole several pounds of butter which he sold to a merchant and the second...

...prohibitionists were, and what did they seek to accomplish through prohibition and also, what strategies the prohibitionists adopted to carry out their agenda, and why and how were they successful. The prohibitionists were someone who supported the laws that made the production and sale of alcohol illegal in the United States. Many people wanted to get rid of the sale and transportation of alcohol because some saw it as being dangerous. It all started when these prohibitionists formed the Anti-Saloon League. Including men and women, this league wanted to get rid of alcohol for many reasons. Prohibitionists came from all over the country looking to put Prohibition into effect. According to the video, “The Time is Now”, people like Andrew Carnegie and Henry Ford were even prohibitionist became they believed that alcohol was making their workers less effective and couldn’t give it their all because they were always drunk. So, these prohibitionists had to create a movement where they could get support from the people and get their votes to put prohibition into effect. One group who helped this work is the Churches around America. They also looked into both the Democratic and Republican party to help with their movement. The Anti-Saloon League got their attention by going after the candidates that didn’t believe in Prohibition. Most candidates wanted this league’s vote though so they would most likely be in favor of the league and for Prohibition. The Anti-Saloon League was definitely...

...have endured, and the first thing that comes to mind is that I need a little break from reality. One of the easiest ways I have found to do this is with a good book. I have always felt that reading a good book is a great form of stress management. For instance, I will sit down, relax, and open up a good mystery. One of my favorites is a book with the collection of Sherlock Holmes Mysteries by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It is rather dog-eared with age and the pages are yellowed, but when I am reading these stories, it’s as if I have literally stepped back in time. I have spent many hours in an upper apartment at 221B Baker Street. With the air thick of the smell of gas lamps and tobacco, I have relaxed in a comfortable Queen Anne chair while listening to Dr. Watson. With pen and paper in hand, he is rambling on with his odd, and sometimes humorous, conclusions of the case at hand. On the far side of the room, sitting in front of a wall filled with old and worn books, Holmes is lost in thought while playing a sad melody on his Stradivarius. I have experienced the exhilaration of hearing the seemingly simple solution to a complex and confusing problem amazed that it was all calculated from a chair in a comfortable Victorian sitting room. I have also been known to read the occasional...

...Tanisha Williams Complex Organizations Professor Donna Trent November 17, 2012 Harvard Case Analysis The Apex Corporation, though profitable was lousily managed. It lacked structure and would sooner or later lose control of its laxed work force and eventually lose profits. The problems facing Apex lay in several areas. (1) Customer serviced needed much improvement; customers found Apex to be slow in responding or not responding at all. (2) The hours that key employees kept were not in tune with customer needs. (3) Apex functioned as a reactionary company rather than a potential leader in the cellular carrier industry. Some alternative actions Apex Corporation needed were restructuring of its organizational structure, in an attempt to achieve maximum proficiency, the CEO implemented a circular structure to create a non hierarchal organization so information could flow freely between the organization and its environment. However employees could not relate to the circular structure. The circular structure confused current and new employees because it lacked clarity as to who made decisions; employees didn’t know how they were being evaluated. It did not improved customer service or the view employees had of the customer. The Horizontal structure was nonresponsive with regards to employees and it was inadequate. What was needed was the ability to control all departments of the company. Innovative structures would not work. Apex needed to return to traditional...
