...should have been a sign that there was something wrong, especially if there is a 19 year old male that does not look fit! If the children had eating disorders then the foster parents should have brought this to the attention of the proper authorities. The bruises that the nurse found on Bruce’s body should have been reported by the nurse, but since they were not then the case workers had no idea what was going on. Even with the neighbors, since they did not report anything either, there was no wrong-doings on record. The thing that puzzles me is why the children themselves did not report any of the abuse to their case-workers. From the information presented in the case study, determine whether the nine members of the Division of Youth and Family Services staff should have been fired. Why or why not? There is no doubt that they should have been fired, it is there job to protect the interest and to ensure the well-being of all children under their custody. It is their job to check in on the adoptive household to make sure that the children are being properly taken care of and to check that there is food in the refrigerator, adequate living condition for seven children and that there is water and electric operational within the house-hold at all times! Was justice served in this case? Why or why not? Yes, justice was served! All nine staff members were fired for not reporting any of the abuse and for not doing the job that they were responsible for, making sure...

...challenge, therefore, is transforming a notoriously risqué channel into a Middle Eastern-friendly platform for music and creativity without stripping MTV of its edge. It isn’t without some irony that a channel known for angering religious, political, and conservative communities is operating in and catering to a region renowned for reacting (and sometimes overreacting) negatively to controversial content.”1 - Dana El Baltaji, Special Projects Manager, Trends magazine in Dubai, in 2008. “In many ways (MTV Arabia) is the epitome of our localization strategy. It’s a different audience (in the Middle East) but this is what we do -- we reflect culture and we respect culture.

By mid-2009, Burger King was not in any of the following five countries: France, India, Nigeria, Pakistan and South Africa . And comparing these countries as possible future locations for Burger King will be as according to me the first preference will go to the countries that have good amount of Non-Veg consumption in it. As Burger King is known for its Non-Veg products e.g. Beef and Hamburger and other beef products. Which can be famous in all the countries whose people consumes the beef and Non-Veg products most. And where there is a good amount of youth too. Cause. France, Pakistan and South Africa will be the good and vast market for any country to Penetrate into it and get their business going well and expand their business as well as Get the best returns on it. As these are the countries with the large population and with big population of youth to who consumes Junk Food the most. In India they will have lesser chance to grow their business although there is a vast market for any company can’t resist to get in to it. But Burger King is Knows for the Non-Veg product and India’s most of the population consumes Veg products more. So in India there will be a large market but lesser chances...

...localized content without diluting what MTV stood for. However, the company faced the most challenging test in late 2007 with its launch of MTV Arabia in the Middle East, which some experts considered as the biggest launch in the channel’s history. While the market in the Middle East offered MTVN with huge opportunities due to its huge youth populace, MTV’s controversial content that was known for angering religious, political, and conservative communities could easily backfire in the conservative environment prevalent in the region. On the other hand, too much localization to suit the tastes of the region could dilute MTV’s global brand. The case discusses in detail the strategy adopted by MTVN to enter and expand in the Middle East and also the challenges faced by the channel. TEACHING OBJECTIVES & TARGET AUDIENCE The case will help the students to: • Understand the issues and challenges in entering and expanding operations in new markets which were culturally different from the organizations home/traditional/existing markets. • Understand the pros and cons of entering a new market with a standardized/adapted product to suit local preferences. • Analyze MTVN’s strategy in the Middle East, identify challenges and explore strategies that the channel could adopt in the future This case is meant for students of the MBA/MS level programs in the Business Strategy curriculum. The case is also suitable for International Business/International Marketing/Brand...

...HIV prevention in Africa A continuing rise in the number of HIV infected people is not inevitable. There is growing evidence that prevention efforts can be effective, and this includes initiatives in some of the most heavily affected countries. One new study in Zambia has shown success in prevention efforts. The study reported that urban men and women are less sexually active, that fewer had multiple partners and that condoms were used more consistently. This is in line with findings that HIV prevalence has declined significantly among 15-29 year-old urban women (down to 24.1% in 1999 from 28.3% in 1996). Although these rates are still unacceptably high, this drop has prompted a hope that, if Zambia continues this response, it could become the second African country to reverse a devastating epidemic. This suggests that awareness campaigns and prevention programs are now starting to work. But a major challenge is to sustain and build on such uncertain success. What form should AIDS education take? Peer education A social form of education without classrooms or notebooks, where people are educated outside a 'school' environment but still have the opportunity to ask questions. Most peer education focuses on providing information about HIV transmission, answering questions and handing out condoms to people in a workplace, perhaps in a bar, or where a group of women gather to wash clothes. Most peer educators make contact with their target audience at least...

...6. Student and School Data Data collected from and about students, including school-level data, are an important part of the assessment. These data are useful in the identification of the proportion of youth in the community who claim gang membership or who are at high risk for gang membership. School-level data and information from school staff are vital to rounding out the picture of gang activity in the community. This chapter provides guidance on collecting data on the following: Student characteristics and disciplinary actions School-aged youths’ perceptions of gangs and gang activity (student survey) School staff perspectives on gang activity on campus Prevalence of Gangs in Schools In the mid-1990s, 28 percent of the national sample of students reported that gangs were present in their schools (Chandler, Chapman, Rand, and Taylor, 1998). This number dropped to 17 percent in 1999 and then increased to 24 percent in 2005, almost the level reported a decade earlier (Dinkes, Cataldi, Kena et al., 2006). Thus respondents to the national survey of students reported a decrease in gang activity in the late 1990s and an increase in the opening years of this century. Impact of Gangs in Schools Where they have a substantial community presence, youth gangs are linked with serious delinquency problems in elementary and secondary schools across the United States (Chandler, Chapman, Rand, and Taylor, 1998). This study of data gathered in the School Crime Supplement to the 1995...

These high rates of urban unemployment in this age bracket are also seen in developed countries, although the rates are far lower than...

... MA the city’s team, the Worcester Ice Cats announced that they would be moving to Peoria, Illinois. During this time, attendance averaged around 7,000 fans per game and provided an economical and fun night out for adults and kids alike. After a brief hiatus of two years, San Jose moved their affiliate to the city however the results were not like past years. As ticket prices rose and the product on the ice declined with several non-playoff seasons, attendance averages dropped to just over 4,000 (figure 1) and the cost of sending players across the country weighed heavily on the parent club. Although there have been bumps and struggles, Worcester remains a strong market for a professional hockey team, especially one with ties to a local NHL club such as the Boston Bruins. Boston’s current AHL affiliate is in Providence, RI but their ECHL affiliate is in South Carolina. Having the brand recognition of the black and gold would be a sure-fire ticket seller. Worcester is a hub in the Commonwealth, has a great number of hotels, colleges, restaurants, and entertainment that can both benefit and benefit from a hockey club bringing fans into the city for 41 nights a year.

...Crime Causation and Diversion Paper Kendra V. Castro Maldonado CJA/374 Juvenile System and Process July 29, 2014 Prof. Victor Candelario- Vega Crime Causation and Diversion Paper As a prerequisite for the course, we were to analyze two different programs for juvenile offenders, this could be to prevent, to intervene or divert juveniles into committing any crime. On this paper, you will find two-intervention programs practiced in Puerto Rico, in a wish are focused to a certain type of crime or accountability. Enforcing Underage Drinking Laws. The program EUDL is focused on the prohibition of selling alcoholic beverages to minors, and it also focuses on the purchase and consumption of alcoholic beverages by minors. OJJDP's EUDL program supports and enhances efforts by States and local jurisdictions to reduce the availability of alcohol to minors. The program encourages close partnerships between law enforcement agencies and community groups involved in preventing and intervening in underage drinking. OJJDP also offers comprehensive training and technical assistance to guide States and communities in their efforts. Underage drinking contributes to youth violence, traffic injuries and fatalities, crime, suicide, high-risk sex, and a host of other problems. In 2005, underage drinkers (defined as individuals younger than21 years old) consumed 15 percent of all alcohol sold in the United States (Miller, 2006). To address this serious problem, the Office of Juvenile Justice...

...Homeless Woman in Chicago Carmen Diaz Com/112 January 29, 2013 Karen Hamilton Homeless Woman in Chicago We all know that there is homelessness all over the world but in this research we are only going to look at a small corner of the world and that little small corner is the City of Chicago. This research has shown that statistically there are about Twenty-five thousand homeless women in the city of Chicago. This only accounts for single woman without children. However, we cannot really be sure if this number is accurate, because only woman who ask for help are accounted for. It does not account for the women who do not ask for help. How does this happen in this great city? In this research, there are many reasons, mental illness, domestic violence, and drug abuse just to mention a few. In the first, article Strausberg, Chinta. Chicago Defender [Chicago, Ill] 30 May 2001: 8. It states that there are Twenty-five thousand young women and youth that are homeless. One thousand to two thousand are into prostitution, or are involved with escort services, or illegal massage services that involve prostitution to survive they suffer incredible violence. This is all because there is not enough affordable homes or enough shelters where they can go. In the second, article Luhrmann, Tanya Marie The American Journal of Psychiatry165. 1 (Jan 2008): 15-20.
