...Bill Maher’s book, “When you ride alone you ride with Bin Laden”, is written to inform American citizens of the things they can do to help win the war on terrorism. In this book Maher criticizes our government for their failure to do so. Maher questions why we are not using methods that have been used in past wars to enlighten our citizenry. Things like posters to conserve our natural resources, providing the media with information for Americans to rally around, turning off lights that are not being used and the need for car-pooling or creating a more energy efficient form of public transportation. Some where I read that it takes eleven gallons of oil to burn a 75 watt light bulb for a year, now that is food for thought! Maher thinks the token support that Americans are engaged in is of little value; displaying flags, wearing support badges and hats, and the “shop until you drop” theme have little value. Maybe we should be doing more, but this is a totally new kind of war, not one where we are fighting another nation, but an ideology, that is supported by radical Islamists. What should our posters say “ Don’t Trust Muslims?”. Should our media televise pictures of Muslims in their Mosques preaching “kill all infidels”? I concur with Maher that we are not doing enough and that our government could do much more, but we must acknowledge the good with the bad or we are just arm chair quarterbacks that want to point fingers. Give our government credit that we haven’t had...

...ABSTRACT Nylons comes in many types but the most common and widely used in textile and plastic industries are Nylon 6 and Nylon 6,6. Nylon 6,6 is made up of two monomers each containing 6 carbon atoms. One of them is Adipic Acid which is a dicarboxylic acid. It is manufactured by oxidation of Cyclohexanol which is produced by oxidative cleavage of cyclohexane or by hydrogenation of phenol. Commercially Cyclohexane is preferred as raw material because of its lower cost and a two-step mechanism involving Nitric acid is used to produce Adipic Acid. This process has higher selectivity and yield than other processes. The only concern with this process is the emission of nitrogen oxides in the gas effluents which is a major environmental concern. 1. Introduction Adipic acid is an organic compound, with formula HOOC (CH2)4COOH, which is a white crystalline solid and one of the most important Dicarboxylic acid. It is Odorless, Colorless and freely soluble in Ethanol, Methanol and Acetone. Other Important properties of Adipic acid is shown in Table 1.From Industrial perspective it is used mainly in Nylon-6, 6 production. About 2.5 billion kilograms of this white crystalline powder are produced annually. In US it is mainly produced by three companies at four manufacturing plants, with nearly two-thirds of the total production, 860,000 tons capacity occurring at DuPont's two Texas facilities. The use of adipic acid in food items have started in recent times and this has created a demand...

ISSN 2277-3177 Volume 4, Number 1 (2014), pp. 71-84 © Research India Publications http://www.ripublication.com Flipkart-Myntra; From a Merger to an Acquisition Farhat Fatima Periyar Management and Computer College, Jasola, New Delhi Abstract The Indian e-commerce market was worth 75,000 crore, in 2013, according to a joint report by KPMG and Internet and Mobile Association of India. India has the potential to double its economic contribution via Internet, from 1.6 percent GDP at present to 2.8 and 3.3 percent by 2015 [MCkensy’2012]. Indian E-commerce is most likely to generate employment for 1.45 million people in coming two years. Emergence of the new government and its innovative policies are developing hope to bring FDI in e-commerce for local market players. Marking the biggest consolidation in the e-commerce space in India, this report puts light on India’s own Amazon; Flipkart and fashion e-tailer Myntra which jointly exposes their vision to capture more than 50% e-market share by strategic alliance. As Flipkart’s annualized sales crossed over 6,100 crore a year ahead of target. It had estimated to reach the billion dollar mark for gross merchandise value by 2015; on the other hand Myntra’s revenue was about 1,000 crore in the previous financial year. It aims to double its revenue in this financial year as it expands its seller base and adds products following China’s...

...Money laundering and terrorism financing risks in Botswana introDuction Botswana has a relatively good legal foundation to fight financial crime in general. With the second reading of the Financial Intelligence Bill and the regulation of non-financial institutions prone to money laundering, the legal framework will be remarkably enhanced. However, Botswana has not yet undertaken an assessment of its risks and vulnerabilities to money laundering and the financing of terrorism in terms of international requirements. Significantly, Botswana’s legal framework does not recognise the risk of money laundering in either limited- or high-risk situations. This is in spite of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) espousing a country-specific risk analysis and application of a regulative framework for all forms of business relationships. The rationale for adopting the risk-based approach is that a better understanding of the extent, form, production and disposal or use of the proceeds of crime helps to determine the appropriate interventions. Tentative steps towards establishing trends in money laundering and the financing of terrorism have been taken over the past few years. A team of World Bank experts visited Botswana at the end of 2006 to assess the implementation of the FATF anti-money laundering and counter-financing of terrorism (AML and CFT) standards. In early 2007 the Directorate on Corruption and Economic Crime (DCEC), in collaboration with the Institute for Security Studies (ISS)...

...THIS faggoting up of so many divers pieces is so done that I never set pen to paper, but when I have too much idle time, and never anywhere but at home; so that it is compiled after divers interruptions and intervals, occasions keeping me sometimes many months elsewhere. As to the rest I never correct my first by any second conceptions; I, peradventure, may alter a word or so: but 'tis only to vary the phrase, and not to destroy my former meaning. I have a mind to represent the progress of my humors, and that every one may see each piece as it came from the forge. I could wish I had begun sooner, and had taken more notice of the course of my mutations. A servant of mine whom I employed to transcribe for me, thought he had got a prize by several pieces from me, wherewith he was best pleased; but it is my comfort that he will be no greater a gainer than I shall be a loser by the theft. I am grown older by seven or eight years since I began; nor has it been without some new acquisition: I have, in that time, by the liberality of years, been acquainted with the stone: their commerce and long converse do not well pass away without some such inconvenience. I could have been glad that of other infirmities age has to present long-lived men withal, it had chosen some one that would have been more welcome to me, for it could not possibly have laid upon me a disease, for which, even from my infancy, I have had so great a horror; and it is, in truth, of all the accidents of old age, that...

...Abstract This paper will explain many things about the Animal Liberation Front, including its operational goals; why it is a threat to the United States of America; what actions led to the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation declaring it a terrorist organization; what other countries consider it a terrorist organization and why; how it acts like a terrorist organization instead of a peaceful eco-movement; and what can be done to halt or reduce this threat in the future. The Animal Liberation Front is a terrorist group for many reasons, ranging from their operational structure to their belief system. For example, they adopted the classic clandestine cell structure in order to reduce the risk of all of the cells being compromised if one person is picked up (Shorn, 2009). This allows the members of the Animal Liberation Front to continue their operations and reduce their operational risks slightly while still maintaining security. The Animal Liberation Front originally became a threat to the United States in 1976, when it claimed its’ first firebombing, and it has only grown since then. The firebombing and the hundreds of other actions that followed it plainly show that they are a terrorist organization by their targets and how they attack those targets. The Animal Liberation Front (ALF) has also claimed credit for causing millions of dollars in damage in the United States alone (Bourne, 2003). The targets of the ALF have also begun to mutate and become more...
