...Question 1(a): Write a detailed account of the Burma Road Riot in Nassau, Bahamas. In the 1940s, World War II was still happening. The Americans and British wanted to set up bases in West Indian islands, and this included New Providence, Bahamas. A riot came about by the labor dispute amongst the Bahamian workers. They were dissatisfied with the wages they were receiving and decided to address the government about it, but they only received placation from them. During this point, one of the intrepid workers had uttered the words, ‘’Ise a Man’’, for the whites addressed the black workers as ‘boy’. Because of this, the blacks eyes began to open, and this point in history led to the Burma Road Riot. So they rioted and acted amongst themselves. So during the time on June 1st and 2nd, 1942, the riot went on. During the time of World War II, the Americans wanted to build their bases on the island of New Providence. This was known as ‘The Project’, and it would employ over 2,000 Bahamians. People from both New Providence and the outer islands, had flocked to Nassau to be employed on this project. They were looking forward to the high wages that were usually brought along with foreign projects. But their disappointment was evident because they were paid lower than expected. But not only that, the laborers were also angry because the Americans were biased with their pay. The Americans who worked along with them, and did the same jobs as them, were paid higher. The laborers were...

...FAKE ENCOUNTERS IN INDIA Aastha Maheswari 1) Distinguish between fake encounters and genuine encounters? Ans: A fake encounter is where a person has been killed in cold blood, and not in self-defence, Whereas a genuine encounter is that in which a person has been killed in self-defence. If somebody is firing at you, and the only way to stop him from killing or grievously injuring you is to shoot back, in that case you’re a part of a genuine encounter. Whereas a fake encounter is when you catch hold of somebody and kill him in cold blood. There is absoutely no threat to you. The Central and State governments generally interpret the word, encounter, to mean genuine encounters, with fake encounters being an exception rather than the rule. Those fighting for civil liberties, however, say that the dividing line between genuine and fake encounters is rather tenuous and argued that most of the cases considered by the police as genuine are indeed fake. 2) Does the police have the right to kill the suspects? Why do they resort to take such extreme measures? Ans: The Indian law recognizes the right of a citizen to private defence , and this same right is available to the policemen too. Thus, If the police is firing in an attempt to arrest a person accused of an offence punishable with death or imprisonment of life by the court orders, in that case the encounter cannot be termed as illegal or fake. However, if a death is caused in an ecounter that cannot be justified on the ground of...

...personnel will impact production for half a day, but the benefits will outweigh the cost and inconvenience of the down time. Aweta, the manufacturer of the processing line will be contacted to come out and re-calibrate the sorting line cameras and sizers. Costs incurred will be minimal, as this is part of the maintenance contract. And this can also be done in conjunction with the grading course refresher. Downtime will be minimal. The second cost center is Appraisal. Currently we only have two quality control inspectors, we need two more. Having two additional inspectors will allow us to have one dedicated inspector in the receiving bay. This inspector will be able to halt any suspect shipments before they even make it into the packing house. This will mitigate any future shipment rejections. The secondary inspector will be stationed in the staging area, prior to the filled cartons being put into the cooler. The salaries of two additional inspectors will be significant, but in the long run they will reduce shipment rejections and their associated costs. Lastly, we have Failure Costs. These cannot be 100% resolved and will happen from...

...Inspector James Adamant The day I stopped the Atlanta Ripper after being sent through time “Investigator, not to sound ungrateful for the job, but I wasn’t aware this was part of my career trajectory.” The Lieutenant had a point. In fact, this wasn’t part of anyone’s career trajectory. Least of all Investigator James Adamant’s. He was pretty sure that anyone who planned on being ruthlessly, horrifyingly wrenched forward in time would have a better future planned than one that relied on the Atlanta Police Department. Two-hundred men. Underfunded. Understaffed. Overmatched. Serve and protect, all right. Adamant had been hoping that the new Chief of Police, James Beavers, could have gotten more funding for the underpaid police department to cope with the boom of Georgia’s greatest city. It was 1911, for God’s sake! Er. Well, it had been 1911. It wasn’t anymore. That was the crux of their problem. They’d both been hot on the trail of the infamous Atlanta Ripper. He’d killed fifteen women that they knew about, and God only knew how many more he’d murdered that the police hadn’t found. It was like the madman was determined to reach the same heights of notoriety as the criminal he was, in some fashion, named after. But Investigator James Adamant wasn’t about to let the Atlanta Ripper escape the clutches of the law. He’d been assigned the Lieutenant, a raw recruit, as an assistant and set on the search for the crazed killer. They didn’t call him the bloodhound...

...Minerals Management Service-Corporate Code of Conduct History The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement formally known as the Minerals Management Service (MMS), is an agency within the United States Department of the Interior (DOI) that is headquartered in Washington, DC and is responsible for managing the ocean energy and mineral resources on the Outer Continental Shelf. The MMS oversees two operations, namely Offshore Energy and Minerals Management (OEMM) and Minerals Revenue Management (MRM). In 1982, Congress passed the Federal Oil and Gas Royalty Management Act. In response to the creation of the new legislation, then Secretary of the Interior James Watt created the MMS as the federal bureau responsible for managing the collection of revenue generated from programs including: oil and gas, coal, metals, potash, and renewable energy resources, as well as oversight of energy companies to ensure they are following the regulations of protecting the safety of their workers, as well as the environment. The MMS collects approximately $13 billion annually making it one of largest revenue sources for the Federal Government. The jurisdiction of MMS is limited generally to a region of the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) that starts three miles from the coast and extends up to 200 nautical miles from the cost. There are two laws that establish this range: the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) Treaty and the Outer Continental...

We read about how his daily clinical work, were not like the ones in the western world. He had to work under depressed circumstances, sometimes even in the middle of the night, and had no joy in his position at the local town hospital. The only consolation in his otherwise depressing everyday life was Celia Dimba, his native housekeeper. She did small things in the day, that cheered up his life, and also when she sat next to him every evening and draw with him. One night at the hospital, she suddenly became his patient. According to a village woman, she had been beaten up by her boyfriend. Celia was severely injured and almost unrecognizable to him, but in spite of his medical qualifications, there was nothing he could do at the local hospital to help her. After transferring Celia to a bigger hospital an hour and a half away, he was called to the police station to give a medical statement. It ended up putting the boyfriend behind bars, because of the narrator’s first hunger for revenge and anger, for Celia’s boyfriend. Six weeks later he found out that Celia actually died from meningitis and not a beating from her boyfriend. When he realized that he could have saved her with a single shot of penicillin, he tried unsuccessfully to...

...Training Needs Assessment Inspector General Team The Headquarters AMC Inspector General has a team of 83 inspectors who go from base to base performing inspections to give the AMC Commander an idea of each wings compliance and readiness. The team performs many types of inspections; however, the two largest inspections are the Operational Readiness Inspection (ORI) and the Compliance Inspection (CI). During an ORI, airmen undergo evaluations that measure the ability of their unit to perform in wartime and during a contingency or a force sustainment mission while at any deployed location. During a CI the IG assess the wing's adherence with by-law requirements, Executive Orders, DOD Directives, and Air Force and MAJCOM instructions. The team is already fully operational however, because the majority of personnel only remain on the team for 2 to 3 years, keeping trained and certified inspectors is a priority. Recently, Headquarters Air Force has established new guidance requiring each MAJCOM IG to establish a training and certification program for all their inspectors. Identifying the needs of Headquarters AMC will consist of organization, person, and task analysis. The methods used to collect data will be focus groups, interviews, documentation, and observation. Because the team is already fully operational and budget cuts are affecting all government agencies, training needs should emphasize a concentration strategy focused on development of the existing workforce, skill,...

...The beginning of the extract, the characters are left "staring, subdued and wondering" which shows a sense of mystery and confusion within the family. They have been left in complete shock because of the event that has just occured. In the stage directions it says that, "Sheila is still quietly crying." This builds up the drama more and proves to us that the situation has really affected her. We can see this throughout the extract. She dislikes her father's comments. The stage directions show us this and Priestley has written her comments towards her parents to be angry and frustrated. Sheila is trying to make her parents see that what they did to the girl was wrong. She says, "I behaved badly too. I know I did. But now you're beginning all over again to pretend that nothing much has happened." It is evident here that she has been greatly affected by the girl's death and is irratated by what her father has said to her. Priestley has written in the stage directions that Sheila is "flaring up". Her anger is quickly building up and she is frustrated because of her parents' ignorance. At the beginning of the extract Priestley says that Eric is "brooding desperately", showing that he is distressed and finding the situation difficult and maybe thinking deeply about what has just happened. In the stage directions Eric "laughs rather hysterically, pointing at him". By insulting Birling, Eric is sure to provoke him and make him angrier. Throughout...
