...The causes of inflationary pressure on New Zealand’s economy The Official Cash Rate is the interest rate set by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand to meet or keep inflation under control since 1999. So it is a very important and basic monetary tool for New Zealand’s government to adjust or indicate the market interest rates with the banks in NZ. Generally, the market interest rates are set or held around at the RBNZ’S OCR level. For example, if the OCR is set higher than before, then the market interest rates for savers is going to increase as well. As a result, people in NZ will tend to spend less for goods and services and place more deposits with the Banks in NZ. On the contrary, people in NZ for loans or mortgages are inclined to borrow less money from Banks. It is because the interest rate for loans may have to be paid higher by individuals or businesses in NZ (RBNZ, 2012). Under this kind of situation, in recent years, due to there are rapid decreases on the OCR in New Zealand, It caused more and more lending activities of commercial banks to all kinds of individual and commercial loan applications. This sort of economic activity could result in the increase of inflationary pressure on the New Zealand’s economy. Whereas, the reason for the inflation of New Zealand is not just that simple or the rising inflation in recent years should not be completely attributable to the lending activities. But also should take other factors into account. In effect, the rate of inflation...

...hospital for weeks. At that point someone told her about the Ronald McDonald House. The Ronald McDonald House is a safe place to stay within walking distance from the hospital; it is like a hotel with a dorm set-up that has rates based on your income. The Ronald McDonald House if mostly funded by donations. One way to donate is through cause marketing by buying a Happy Meal. Cause marketing (also referred to as cause-related marketing) is a type of marketing that involves the cooperative efforts of a “for profit” business and a nonprofit organization for mutual benefit. According to adage.com, the field of cause marketing began in 1983, when American Express raised money for the restoration of the Statue of Liberty. Adage.com states that “During a 3 month period, American Express offered to contribute one cent for each card transaction and $1 for each new card issued and backed the offer with a substantial media campaign.” An article on about.com entitled Cause Related Marketing: What you Need to Know goes on to say that “the results are now legendary. The Restoration Fund raised over $1.7 million and American Express card use rose over 27%. New card applications increased 45% over the previous year”...

...negligence that apply to the case of Mr. Margrieter V. New Hotel Monteleone, Inc are Duty, breach, cause in effect, proximal cause and harm (damage suffered as a proximal result of the defendant’s breach of duty). Duty refers to an obligation one has to another party. If duty “constrains and channels behavior in a socially responsible way” (Owen, 2007), then the Hotel Menteloene has a duty to take reasonable measures to protect its guests from harm. Breach, an improper act or omission, can also be viewed as an element that exists in this case. The hotel did not provide adequate security, as it did not replace the security personnel that had called in sick. It is particularly a breach if the hotel has determined that security is necessary to protect the property and its guests. It provided one employee to monitor the rear door, but the employee is not reported to have experience in security. Evidence of lack of security at exits and entrances, As well as lack of camera security monitoring and alarms are all actions that created a situation in which Mr. Margrieter could be abducted without notice, as could any other guest. Cause in Fact refers to the direct cause of one party’s action leading to the harm of another. If the lack of adequate security has led to Mr. Margrieter’s injuries, then cause in fact can be shown. Two men unlocked his hotel room door with a key. If this is the case, then cause in fact does exist. It would be difficult for the...

...You are a Police Officer. The task at hand was to read and interpret three different scenarios. Then write about how I would react to the situation if I was the officer on the scene. I have to determine if I would have probable cause, reasonable suspicion, and whether or not I would pursue the suspect or suspects involved in the scenario. I have thoroughly read and analyzed each scenario, and have come to a decision for each situation. In Scenario one a juvenile is spotted walking near a sports warehouse building that is being watched due to it being burglarized several times over the past six months. The juvenile is wearing a heavy luxury sports coat, and also has a pair of new sneakers on. As the officer on the scene I would determine that there was not sufficient probable cause to stop and pursue the individual. There is reasonable suspicion being presented in this situation, the juvenile is wearing expensive and new sports gear that could have very well come from the sports warehouse. Although I do not believe this is enough to stop the juvenile. The farthest I would go in pursuing the individual would be to tail him looking for any suspicious activity to further pursue him. In the event his actions provided sufficient probable cause I would calmly stop the juvenile and question him on what he was doing in the area. I would make a decision to arrest him or not based on his answers and my own personal observation. Scenario two presents a situation in which a...

...three men, searched their outer garments under the suspicion of criminal intent, and found a pistol on Terry and another on Chilton. Terry’s defense argued the gun found on Terry was inadmissible in court as evidence, stating that his 4th Amendment right to protection from unreasonable search and seizures was violated. The court denied the defendants' motion on the ground that Officer McFadden, on the basis of his experience, "had reasonable cause to believe . . . that the defendants were conducting themselves suspiciously, and some interrogation should be made of their action." Purely for his own protection, the court held, the officer had the right to pat down the outer clothing of these men, who he had reasonable cause to believe might be armed. The Supreme Court of Ohio dismissed their appeal on the ground that no “substantial constitutional question” was involved (Kemp, David. (2012). Terry v. Ohio 392 U.S. 1 (1968). U.S. Supreme Court Justice William Douglas strongly disagreed with permitting a stop and search without probable cause, stating “I agree that petitioner was "seized" within the meaning of the Fourth Amendment. I also agree that frisking petitioner and his companions for guns was a "search." But it is a mystery how that "search" and that...

In other words, the relationship will be form when both parties have contributed and had certain benefits mutually. According to Daw (2006), for over the last twenty years, the development of cause marketing has presented itself in diverse ways including the growth of numbers, range and depth. Today companies and non-profit organization can contain this strategy in product sales, promotions and program-driven collaboration.

At the Trial Court level the Carr’s failed to provide expert testimony as a link between the chemical spill and the physical symptoms the Carr’s had experienced . The Suit: The trial court granted a no-evidence summary judgment in favor of the Appellee, Union Pacific Rail Road. The Appellants, (the Carr’s, et.al), failed to meet two of the four elements of negligence. The Appellants appealed, arguing that expert testimony is not required.

...assist the nonprofit organization in raising fund or to benefit the society by supporting a cause. P.R. Varadarajan and A. Menon (1988) have seen Cause Related Marketing in the early stages but absolutely in a projective way. They defined Cause Related Marketing as the process of formulating and implementing marketing activities that are characterized by an offer from the firm to contribute a specified amount to a designated cause when customers engage in revenue-providing exchanges that satisfy organizational and individual objectives. Kevin Keller and Philip Kotler (2006), in agreement with Varadarajan and Menon Cause related Marketing is that marketing activity that links the firm’s contributions to a designated cause to customers’ engaging directly or indirectly in revenue producing transactions with the firm. On the other hand, "Cause marketing is the action through which a company, a nonprofit organization, or a similar entity markets an image, a product, a service, or a message for mutual benefit of the entity and the cause," writes Marconi in the first chapter of the book Cause Marketing. Barone, Miyazaki and Taylor (2000) noted that there are actually two approaches to cause related marketing. The direct approach, described above by Varadarajan and Menon, links the size of donation to sales of particular products. An example of this is Bashundara Tissue, recently the commenced a new baby diaper and baby tissue, at eve of the launch, they enunciate to donate tk. 1 from sale...

Nike's Corporate Interest Lives Strong: A Case of Cause-Related Marketing and Leveraging Sport Sponsorship Corporate sponsorship of athletes, facilities, and events is not a new phenomenon in the sport marketing wodd. Sponsorship appears td be everywhere, from sponsored stadiums and fields to apparel and clothing. This surge in sponsorship has not only increased the expense of sponsorship, but it has also created an environment where cutting through advertising clutter has become more difficult. With changing consumer habits and the need to target specific lifestyle segments, corporations are looking to use s]5ort sponsorship more frequently as a means to meet a variety of objectives (Belch & Belch, 1995; Shimp, 1997). Specifically, sport sponsorship is "a business relationship between a provider of funds, resources, or services and a sport event or organization, which offers in return specific rights that may be used for commercial advantage" (Howard & Crompton, 2004, p. 434).

...For this assignment I decided to look into the question, I autism a kind of brain damage? I chose this topic because it seems like we are hearing so much about autism anymore and it still seems to be a mystery to people as to what causes autism. I often hear of so many things causing autism that I just find so unbelievable, but I have never looked into the fact of maybe some type of brain damage causing autism. I found two source that talks about autism and the causes of autism. The first reliable website that I visited is the Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative (SFARI) website. SFARI’s main priority is to do research that helps people who are affected by autism. “With a budget of about $60 million per year, SFARI currently supports 175 investigators. Since 2007, this initiative has provided or committed more than $260 million in external research support to more than 250 investigators in the U.S. and abroad.” (Simons Foundations, 2014) In the SFARI article that I read it covered a study they did on low-birth weight babies with white matter injury. They performed ultrasounds on over 1000 babies who weighed 1.1 pounds to 4.4 pounds in the first few days of the babies’ lives. The ultrasounds determined if the infant had any hemorrhages, ventricular enlargements, and lesions in brain tissue or any other brain damage. The ultrasounds were kept and then the subjects were then assessed for autism about 21 years later. The study found that the infants who had any...

...factor of personal responsibility it gives one a sense of personal and social accomplishment. Developing plans from the beginning to the end, while maintaining the focus to succeed is crucial. Without personal responsibility ones visions and ideas for progress have a probable cause to be defeated. Having a lack of personal responsibility may cause one to fail academically, as well as struggle to get started in a professional career. Personal responsibility allows one to be able to focus on preserving new information as you discipline yourself to learn new ideas however preserving information learned is not the only important factor in personal responsibility, In addition an important key is to take learned concepts and train ones work ethics in accordance, in order to improve skills. In conclusion, although ideas and visions of success can be identified by many without the factor of personal responsibility it also gives one a sense of personal and social accomplishment for two main reasons. First, personal responsibility can be what ultimately separates a person that is successful, from a person that is not as successful. Secondly, personal responsibility allows one to be able to focus on preserving new information for latter success. I plan to use personal responsibility in everything that I do I believe if I hold...

...Name Course Instructor Date There is No Hope for doing Perfect Research (Griffins 1998, p 97) Do you agree? I entirely agree to Griffins allegation that there is no hope in perfect research. It is of great importance to understand the three major words that is hope, perfect and research before I delve deeper into the discussion. According to Sridhar, research is a logical effort to gain knowledge and a progress from the known to the unknown (Sridhar, 7). Research enables individuals to gain fresh insight, think intellectually, get answers to problems and therefore solve problems, (Sridhar, 7). Hope according to the McMillan dictionary is positivity about the future. It is the act of wishing that good things are going to happen in the future. Perfect, according to the American Heritage Dictionary of English language (fourth edition) is the aspect of having all the requisite characteristics and qualities. Just as the adage goes to err is human, the research process is not left out since it is undertaken by humans and is thus affected by human biases which in turn distort the results. Biases are methodical errors that lead to loss of validity since it limits the significance and applicability of a study, (Sica, 780). Other errors that affect research include errors associated with sampling which lead to variation since a sample population may not reflect fully the characteristics of the whole target population. Research is an incomplete process since it is a discovery...
