...Momcilo Latinovic ENG 318 May 3, 2012 Daniel Martinez Grown Little Man Children in many countries and cultures are put in the situations that seem different to us. They are forced to grow up and mature much faster and make life long decisions. "The turning point in the process of growing up is when you discover the core of strength within you that survives all hurt." This quote is by Max Lerner. The things that kids go through to enter maturity can be complicated. Their task is to come across themselves, and grow into the mature person they will become. There are facing some difficult journeys filled with new things, difficult situations, confusion, and a loss of childhood innocence. The novel Bless Me, Ultima, written by Rudolfo Anaya, is about Antonio Marez, a young boy who has to make his way into maturity and in doing so he deals with some things that are not common for a boy his age. Antonio becomes emotionally mature from crying about deaths to staying tough when he sees the decease, intellectually mature by showing how intelligent he becomes and physically mature by changing in size and strength. For example, Antonio is the reason for many of his parent’s arguments that occur. They fight over what Antonio would be when he is older. This is not something usual for a seven years old kid. Most kids his age are spoiled by their parents and family and all they do is play with the other kids and just have fun. However, Antonio is stuck between...

...Members of the court are chosen by the birthday girl, and traditionally include sisters, brothers, cousins, and in-laws. However, as variations of this celebration have become more mainstream, quinceañera’s have frequently chosen to include close friends. To begin the ceremony, the parents of the Quinceañera escort her to a priest standing at the alter. Her padrinos, the chambelan, and the court trail close behind. The mass reading follows, embracing the themes of youth, maturity, social responsibility, and devotion to god. During the mass, the Quinceañera is crowned a traditional tiara. This tiara, as well as the incorporated Bible, rosary, jewelry, and bouquet, holds special importance. These items are blessed by the priest, who also refers to the Bible and rosary as a symbol of the eternal world of God. In addition, perhaps in attempts to further remind the Quinceañera to remain true to her faith, the tiara given to her is said symbolize the crown of the life God has given. A special kneeling pillow, sometimes embroidered with the Quinceaneras name, is given to her to kneel on during the ceremony. The gifts listed above are then presented to her on special ceremony pillows. Clothing accounts for a significant part of this ceremony - and its...

...CHAPTER 16 activity-based budgeting 1 questions for writing and discussion 1. The master budget has been criticized for the following reasons: it does not recognize the interdependencies among departments, it is static, and it is results, rather than process, oriented. These criticisms are especially apparent when companies are in a competitive, dynamic environment. When the environment changes slowly, if at all, the master budget would do a good job of both planning and control. 2. A static budget is one that is not adjusted for changes in activity. Using a static budget for control can be a real problem. For example, suppose that the master (static) budget is based on the production and sale of 100,000 units but only 90,000 units are actually produced and sold. Further, suppose that the budgeted variable cost of goods sold was $2,000,000 and that the actual variable cost of goods sold was $1,890,000. It looks as if the company spent less than expected for variable manufacturing costs. However, the budgeted variable cost was $20 per unit ($2,000,000/100,000), and the actual variable cost per unit is $21 per unit ($1,890,000/90,000). Not adjusting the budget for changes in activity level can mislead managers about efficiency. 3. A flexible budget is (1) a budget for various levels of activity, or (2) a budget for the actual level of activity. The first type of flexible budget is used for planning and sensitivity analysis. The second type of budget is used for...

...acarretou consigo tremendas exigências que se impuseram, aos poucos, às organizações, exigências essas que obrigaram a que as mesmas dessem largas ao seu espirito criativo e empreendedor, levando-as a criar e a adotar mecanismos que lhes permitissem tanto destacar, como ser mais eficientes e produtivas, os seus objetivos deixaram de ser apenas a obtenção de lucro para passarem a ser os meios (processos e intervenientes) utilizados para a obtenção desse lucro, para isso, as organizações viram-se diante de exigências impostas tanto ao nível dos seus procedimentos como das suas políticas e embora a implementação de sistemas de gestão de qualidade (SGQ) não seja uma invenção recente, o fato é que apenas lhe foi atribuída maioritária importância nas últimas décadas, com a crescente exigência dos mercados, tornou-se imprescindível ser mais e melhor, apostando na inovação e no conhecimento, e como isto só se consegue através da conjugação dos diferentes recursos de uma organização, é nesse sentido que no surge este artigo, consideramos vital falar do papel do seu recurso mais importante, o recurso humano (RH), procurando perceber qual o impacto da cultura organizacional (CO) na envolvência dos RH na integração de SGQ, mas, como veremos, para perceber de que forma a CO afeta a implementação de SGQ, é impreterível compreender e estudar os contextos em que estes últimos são aplicados. Embora se trate, maioritariamente, de uma relação indireta e com um fraco suporte empírico, a relação entre GRH...

...To : From : Date : 20th April 2012 Subject : Report Proposal Proposed Report Topic: “The Internet and E-business”. Executive Summary: “In five years’ time, all companies will be Internet companies, or they won’t be companies at all.” - Andy Grove, the chairman of Intel, The Net Imperative, The Economist, June 26 to July 2, 1999. Background: Information technology has transformed the way companies conduct business. Technology allows businesses to automate manual operations and process information much faster. While business technology often is used through personal computers, server storage and point-of-sale or cash register systems, THE MAJOR technological advancement is the Internet, which has created new communication forms and other business methods that companies use when processing financial and business information. Context: Some companies are using the Internet to make direct connections with their customers for the first time. Others are using secure Internet connections to intensify relations with some of their trading partners, and using the Internet’s reach to request quotes or sell off perishable stocks of goods or services by auction. Entirely new companies and business models are emerging in industries ranging from chemicals to road haulage to bring together buyers and sellers in super-efficient new electronic marketplaces. Due to the success of the internet the world has become a much smaller place and people can stay connected, from wherever...

...represent the whole population without discrimination, they may be entitled to the right of secession. In Aaland Island Dispute and Bangladesh case separation from parent state is exceptional situation and a last resort only when state either lacked the will or the power to apply just and effective guarantee. The SC Canada in Reference re secession of Quebec identified the potential circumstances in which external self determination may be considered- Decolonization, the case of alien subjugation, dominion or exploitation, and when the people is blocked from the right of internal self-determination but then ’only as a last resort’. And the last is when the human rights are seriously and persistently violated and there is extreme oppression as ultima ratio. Last circumstance is remedial secession given in Kosovo Case for which very high threshold of humanitarian laws violation is needed and duration of violation is an important factor. SECSSION IN A FEDERAL STATE Dissolution of a Federal State Self-determination certainly has considerable federalist potential. To be very sure international law neither recognizes the right of federal right of self determination or autonomy. But such as composition of most state are heterogeneous and pluralistic, the essence of self- determination would be well served if certain level of cultural or political autonomy is granted within a state. And federal dissolution can be a result of amicable constitutional agreement. Organization of African Unity...
