...British mandate of Palestine The British Mandate for Palestine, also known as the Palestine Mandate and the British Mandate of Palestine, was a legal commission for the administration of Palestine, the draft of which was formally confirmed by the Council of the League of Nations on 24 July 1922 and which came into effect on 26 September 1923.[1] The document was based on the principles contained in Article 22 of the draftCovenant of the League of Nations and the San Remo Resolution of 25 April 1920 by the principal Allied and associated powers after the First World War.[1] The mandate formalised British rule in the Southern part of Ottoman Syria from 1923–1948. With the League of Nations' consent on 16 September 1922, the UK divided the Mandate territory into two administrative areas, Palestine, under direct British rule, and autonomous Transjordan, under the rule of the Hashemite family from Hijaz Saudi Arabia, in accordance with the McMahon Pledge of 1915.[1]Transjordan was exempt from the Mandate provisions concerning the Jewish National Home.[1][2] The preamble of the mandate declared: Whereas the Principal Allied Powers have also agreed that the Mandatory should be responsible for putting into effect the declaration originally made on November 2nd, 1917, by the Government of His Britannic Majesty, and adopted by the said Powers, in favour of the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, it being clearly understood that nothing should be done...

...Introduction: In a short period of time taking chances to determine the factors which may cause the increasing numbers of policies that needs to be re-evaluated for its revision, amendment or rescission as the case may be. It is observed that management and administration may not seem glamorous to young Officers who find excitement in operational duty. Adjutant General Service (AGS) work is not exactly attractive. It may hardly notice behind-the-scene of activities like management of personnel affairs, records-keeping, or the dissemination of official information, orders, instructions as these have been relegated to the background. While the rest of the Philippine Army (PA) hugs the limelight for brilliant operational activities, AGS pursues its goals quietly albeit with renewed vigor and dedication. Based on record, new generations from other source of entry to the military service like the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) have joined the AGS as their Area/Field of Specialization, 1 Captain, 8 1st Lieutenants and 15 2nd Lieutenants. A good move that will somehow help the AGS on its primary function, having a young Officers, full of inspiration and dedication to the service. However, this may change as time flies, like change of AFOS, a challenge that the Philippine Army should look into. Body: As seen in the power point presentation, the present composition of the Philippine Army Policy Board, created purposely to review and update...

...The individual mandate is the prime focus in health care now. It makes sure that every person has insurance. Health care services account for 17.6% of the GDP. According to Hiatt.F et al. (2012), today an average family pays an additional 1000 dollars of higher premium to subsidize the cost incurred by those who receive care and do not have insurance to pay for it. If every person does not need to have insurance, healthy people would prefer not to enroll for insurance, in order to avoid the ever increasing cost of premiums, which shift the costs to other people who pay insurance staring a viscous cycle. According to census report (2011), there are more than 49.9 million uninsured Americans; the expenditure on uninsured is ever increasing. When all are insured, eventually the cost incurred by the government on uninsured reduces, this gives the government additional resources to spend on research and improve the quality of health care. Many insurance companies deny insurance coverage for the pre existing conditions so that they would not have to pay a higher reimbursement however if insurance coverage would be made compulsory for all The cost would be spread out as there would be healthy people in the pool . For instance if we choose to go for individual plan the cost is eye popping high, but when we take group insurance the cost is significantly lowered. According to the insurance company policies a group is always safer to insure than an individual because they...

...The first stage of Aristotle’s definition is the pre-eminence stage. This is where the Tragic Hero is either of noble birth or maintains a high position in society. Lear is shown as the King of Britain at the beginning of the play, therefore we are introduced to a character with pre-eminence and that is shown upon Lear’s entry into the play where he declares “We shall express our darker purpose. Give me the map there”. The use of the pronoun “we” is reference to the royal “we”, this instantly shows that Lear is a man who demands respect and is of a royal background. In addition the use of the adjective “darker” brings forth secretive and vague imagery and shifts the tone to that of a severe nature. This makes us unaware on what Lear is about to declare to the rest of the Kingdom, however this is a form of foreshadowing for the consequences of Lear dividing the Kingdom at this point in the play and that this event is what casts a shadow over the Kingdom. It could also reference the contextual significance of the splitting of the Kingdom due to the belief in The Divine Right of Kings. This was the belief that it was God who picked Kings which were exclusively male. With Lear giving his Kingdom to his three daughters, this completely ignores any of the contextual conventions which hints to the audience of Lear’s tragic flaw. This leads onto the second stage in Aristotle’s belief which is the Tragic Flaw that a tragic hero must have to help elicit pity from the audience and helps...

...Both plays, Richard II and King Lear, start by Richard and Lear believing that the gods are on their side and that God put them there for a reason (the divine right of kings). However throughout the plays their attitude towards divine assistance changes and they both realise they will have to pay for their mistakes. The divine right of kings in Richard II is present throughout the play. In Act 3, Scene 2 Richard says, ‘not all the water in the rough rude sea can wash the balm off from an anointed king;’. Earlier in the play Richard refers to himself as ‘England’ and the common people as the ‘sea’. He thinks that ‘the rough rude sea’ (the common people) cannot get rid of him because he is an ‘anointed king’. This means that he believes that God chose him to be king over everyone else. Shakespeare makes Richard appear, to the reader, as a egoistic, selfish king that doesn’t spare a thought for the common people of England by labeling them as the ‘rough rude sea’. This suggest his relationship with them isn’t good. In Richard II there are many references to the bible. England is described as ‘this other Eden, demi-paradise’ because Richard is ruining England like Adam and Eve ruined the paradise which God created when they were tempted by the snake. He’s making a ‘demi-paradise’ by making the wrong decisions. In act 3, scene 4 the Queen says, ‘Thou, old Adam’s likeness, set to dress this garden, How dares thy harsh rude tongue sound this unpleasing news? What Eve, what serpent...

...Kimberly Iberico January 22, 2012 Katherine Fidler Hist.—T-124-007 What is the theory of divine right monarchy, as outlined by Bossuet, and how does this political theory potentially come into conflict with the religious theory of the Catholic Church as represented by the Pope? Kings received power through god. Kings power is absolute through state. Bossuet asserted that “God establishes kings as his ministers, and reigns through them over the people.” He also stated that “the prince must be obeyed on principle, as a matter of religion and of conscience.” Those who argued otherwise were agents of evil opposed to the will of God.Louis XIV agreed strongly with these aspects of Bousseut's views, which conformed with his own ideal of himself as an absolute ruler: the so-called "Sun King." He did not, however, always follow Bousseut's preaching regarding Christian conduct and morality. Bossuet, who as a bishop also owed obedience to the pope, found himself caught by his own doctrine in a paradox in 1682, when Louis insisted on his clergy making an anti-papal declaration. Bossuet was tasked to draft the document, and attempted to make it as moderate as he could. The pope, however, declared it null and void, and Bousseut died before he could publish his defense of his views in Defensio Cleri Gallicani. In Baker’s reading, The Old Regime and the French Revolution, he goes into detail about Jacques-Benigne Bossuet’s role to King Louis XIV and his views, four characteristics...

...“Lear manages to fail his duty as King” Evaluate this view with reference to dramatic effects – TIMED (+5 mins) Mini plan – start of the play // father hood // identity // other kingly characters In keeping with Jacobean thought, Lear is portrayed as having a divine duty to rule. This is echoed by King James belief of the divine right of the Kings, and both him and Elizabeth saw it a sin to either abdicate the throne, or divide it up – both of which Lear is guilty of. To a Christian audience therefore, he was clearly failed his divine duty in acting as “God Lieutenant” (as King James I phrased it). Whether his failure was necessary in his duty as a father or in finding his identity can be explored. The start of the play is imperative it setting up Lear’s duty and role as King. He enters the kingdom as an absolute ruler, with an air of grandeur about him, and he was highly respected – as highlighted by the fact he was referred to as “my lord” and “my liege”. His word was never challenged; it held a divine authority evident through the use of imperative such as “Attend the lords” and “Speak first”. Shakespeare deliberately, therefore offers us the perfect painting of a dutiful king. The consequential break down in society is therefore unexpected, and is summarised in the horrific irony that Lear wishes to “divide our kingdom into three” so that “future strife may be prevented”. Lear is blinded by his selfish wish to “crawl unburdened toward death” that he neglects his...

...How did the geography influence the isolation of China? To the east lay the vast Pacific Ocean; to the south lay mountain ranges and dense jungles; in the north was the desolate Gobi Desert; and to the west towered the mountains of the Tibetan Plateau. In addition, the territorial extent of the Qing dynasty’s rule played an important part. Its borders stretched further than any other time in China’s history. Everything was in range of the Chinese empire so nobody did need to get additional resources from other countries, therefore making China a self-supplying nation. Also, China was a very difficult nation to access and to depart, due to its significant geography, such as its mountains, jungles and deserts. • What was the “Mandate of Heaven”? The Mandate of Heaven is ancient to Chinese philosophy, since it’s a concept that has been known to...

...Recommendations/2010 Telecom Regulatory Authority of India Implementation of Digital Addressable Cable TV Systems in India New Delhi: August 05, 2010 Mahanagar Doorsanchar Bhawan Jawahar Lal Nehru Marg New Delhi- 110 002 1 Preface Cable and Satellite TV services in India have grown exponentially in the last seventeen years. However, the nature of the analogue cable TV services, which forms the bulk of the cable and satellite TV universe, poses a number of problems. Capacity constraints and the non-addressable nature of the analogue cable TV services results in several problems including complex business transactions and a high level of litigation. Digital technology offers the requisite solution holding the promise of better satisfaction at all levels of the distribution chain including the consumers. Besides, digital addressable systems can enhance the scope of the services offered including broadband services. It is not surprising therefore that, during the consultation process, an overwhelming majority of the stakeholders have favoured early implementation of digitization in the country. We in the Authority, after duly taking into consideration all aspects, have worked out a framework of implementation of digitization with addressability in India by December 2013. In doing so, we are suggesting several measures such as fiscal incentives, right of way etc. to enable this process. It is hoped that these recommendations would be acted upon quickly to...

...because Britain had become bankrupt and couldn’t maintain its global colonies. The end of the British mandate formally provided a homeland for the Jewish citizens in Palestine, although the events that occurred in WW2, such as the Holocaust can be seen as the most important factors in providing a homeland for the Jewish. It can be seen that WW2 advanced the Jewish position in a claim for a homeland, more than the Palestinian position. This was boosted by the fact that an estimated 6 million Jews were persecuted by the Nazis in the Holocaust, which shocked the globe. This is one of the most important factors for a Jewish claim for a homeland, as the Jewish community felt worldwide sympathy as millions of Jews had died. Although the Holocaust was not only a Nazi persecution of the Jews, other leaders carried it out across Europe. During the war, thousands of Jews fled to Palestine to avoid the Nazi regime, and by the end of the war, Jewish population grew tenfold between 1919 and 1947, from 60 000 to over 600 000 Jews in Palestine. This showed the Jewish vulnerability as the wished for a place where they could avoid anti-Semitism a place they could feel safe in. During the war the Jewish community supported the British army, therefore they were able to gain weapons and valuable experience from them, which they were able to use against the Palestinians, when the British mandate finally ended. For these reasons WW2 can be seen as the most important factor in the creation of Israel...

...During the time of the Mandatory Palestine, the Balfour Declaration signed in 1917, stated that the government of Great Britain supported the establishment of a "Jewish national home" in Palestine. This exacerbated tensions between the Arabs living in Mandate Palestine and the Jews who emigrated there during the Ottoman period. Signed in January 1919, the Faisal–Weizmann Agreement promoted Arab-Jewish cooperation on the development of a Jewish national homeland in Palestine and an Arab nation in a large part of the Middle East, though this event had little to no effect on the conflict. In 1920, the San Remo conference largely endorsed the 1916 Anglo-French Sykes–Picot Agreement, allocating to Britain the area of present day Jordan, the area between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, and Iraq, while France received Syria and Lebanon. In 1922, the League of Nations formally established the British Mandate for Palestine and Transjordan, at least partially fulfilling Britain's commitments from the 1915–16 McMahon–Hussein Correspondence by assigning all of the land east of the Jordan River to the Emirate of Jordan, ruled by Hashemite king Abdullah but closely dependent on Britain, leaving the remainder west of the Jordan as the League of Nations Mandatory Palestine. While the British had made promises to give both Arabs and Jews land, the British claimed they had never promised to give either side all of the land. Rising tensions had given way to violence, such as the 1920...

...Rachel Meyer 10/5/2014 Assignment #2 CMS and the Controversial Preventative Maintenance Mandate When I first opened up assignment #2, I noticed the topic was CMS and that was a good thing because I currently work for a medical delivery company that deals with the CMS on a daily basis. This research into their organization would allow me to understand them a little further than what I already know. CMS stand for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services which covers a very large portion of the United States. It covers not only people, but organizations, businesses, etc. Through Medicare, Medicaid, the Children’s Health Insurance Program and the Health Insurance Marketplace, it covers approximately 100 million people! (CMS, 2014) The CMS is a federal agency that lies within the Department of Health and Human Services and their main focus is to administer the Medicare program as well as work with state agencies to administer the Medicaid and State Children’s Health Insurance Program. Considering the magnitude of what CMS covers, almost every healthcare facility in the country falls under the CMS wing if they accept Medicare or Medicaid as a payment for their services. Because of this, CMS has the “right” to pass any mandate o requirements as they see fit. Because the CMS is responsible for over 100 million people’s Medicare, Medicaid, etc. accounts, they can provide mandates and memos to various departments within healthcare organizations to follow a new order if...

Currently, HR’s basic function is to handle policy making and all the paperwork involved in hiring and firing, manage the bureaucratic aspects of benefits, administer compensation decisions, oversee recruitment, and manage training and development programs and design initiatives to increase workplace diversity. But there are still doubts over the contribution of HR to organizational performance. Often, it is found uneconomical and inefficient. Author has identified 5 factors that make an HR department necessary: • Globalization - Expansion of global markets have made it important for managers to have knowledge about global trade issues and also meet local needs. Therefore, it has become necessary for the organization to learn and collaborate and to manage diversity, complexity and ambiguity. • Profitability through growth - Companies now feel a drive for revenue growth...
