...Enterprise Risk Management The Non-Linear Pro salesman told the manager of Quick Takes Video that the editing system leased would allow the employees to edit material twice as fast after only a day and a half of set up and training. After all employees received the one-day training course, completed the video tutorial, and read the manual, problems with the equipment stopped production of a Quick Takes Video project. During an attempt to insert a CD, an employee cut her finger on a sharp edge of the poorly designed equipment. Two different types of torts arose in the Product Liability Video. One type, an intentional tort occurred as a result of the implied warrantee when the salesman described the benefits of the editing system. The employee’s cut finger could result in an unintentional tort because the manufacturer has the requirement of selling a safe product but did not intend to harm the employee. The main tort violation from the video involves the implied warrantee given by the Non-Linear Pro salesman. The manager of Quick Takes Video perceived the quote taken from the video Cheeseman (2010), “Any of your editors, if they’re computer savvy, they’re going to pick this up in a day, day and a half tops” (video, 02:79), as an expressed warrantee. This perception persuaded the manager to lease the equipment. Team A used enterprise risk management (ERM) to analyze the business risk associated with the violation (Harb, 2008). Adequate Compliance Standards and Procedures...

...Dope sheet- agricultural subsidies in India 1) What is subsidy? Subsidies are grants given to a specified public to get a desired action from their side, for instance, when government is feeling that the yield per hectare is low which can be increased by using fertilizers, than government gives fertilizers subsidies so that small farmers can purchase the fertilizer.

...8 SOUTHERN THAILAND FOLK TALES Foreword… It all started a few years ago in a discussion with our English Major Students. We were talking about regional differences; how perceptions of people differ. I explained how people in the north of England view the folks from London and the south, and vice-versa. “It’s the same here in Thailand” one bright student chimed, “the folks in Bangkok and the north think everyone down here in the south are stupid, ignorant and to be viewed with extreme suspicion. But we have a very rich cultural heritage” she went on to explain. “We have history and stories that have been passed from father to son, from mother to daughter, for centuries.” So, it was agreed, the students would mine the Southern Thai Culture for the myths and legends that go to make folk tales. These would be documented and translated into English. This was to be a useful extra-curricular activity in the student’s quest for better English usage and understanding. The project ‘grew like Topsy’ and before long we had plans afoot to publish a small book that could, with a bit of luck, help to narrow the cultural divide between north and south Thailand. And, of course, educate and amuse us poor, ignorant, foreigners! Together with my friend and former colleague, Ajarn Kevin Marshall, we agreed to edit the student’s submissions, bring the often-archaic language up-to-date and inject modern usage and idioms whilst retaining the spirit of the original. It was a big idea but one that...
