...Impact of a broken family on children “Broken” Homes: The Effect of Divorce on Children Going through a divorce is a very difficult situation to be in. Usually it is what is happening between the parents, that concerns most people. However hurtful divorce is on the couple that is going through it, the children end up with the greatest amount of problems. These problems that the children develop are not always obvious, and do no always come to the surface right away. “Most often the children responded to the announcement [of the divorce] with apprehensiveness or anger . . . Several children panicked . . . finally, a great many of the younger children, about one-third of the entire group, didn’t really believe what they had been told. For these youngsters, the single announcement by the parents made it easier for them to pretend that the divorce would soon go away and to postpone their own response to the frightening changes in their lives” (Wallerstein 40-41). Children often try to stop the divorce of their parents, but there are many who seem to accept it at first. These who seem to accept it may even tell their parents that they are happy about the divorce. This is not necessarily the case, as one would see if he or she spoke with the child for a while. There are many things that divorce does to a family, and there are many things that is does to the child. These effects are rarely positive, or helpful depending upon the family’s prior situation. Divorce has many...

..."In 1817, Jefferson's old friend, the Revolutionary War hero Thaddeus Kosciuszko, died in Switzerland. The Polish nobleman, who had arrived from Europe in 1776 to aid the Americans, left a substantial fortune to Jefferson. Kosciuszko bequeathed funds to free Jefferson's slaves and purchase land and farming equipment for them to begin a life on their own. In the spring of 1819, Jefferson pondered what to do with the legacy. Kosciuszko had made him executor of the will, so Jefferson had a legal duty, as well as a personal obligation to his deceased friend, to carry out the terms of the document. "The terms came as no surprise to Jefferson. He had helped Kosciuszko draft the will, which states, 'I hereby authorize my friend, Thomas Jefferson, to employ the whole [bequest] in purchasing Negroes from his own or any others and giving them liberty in my name.' Kosciuszko's estate was nearly $20,000, the equivalent today of roughly $280,000. But Jefferson refused the gift, even though it would have reduced the debt hanging over Monticello, while also relieving him, in part at least, of what he himself had described in 1814 as the 'moral reproach' of slavery. "If Jefferson had accepted the legacy, as much as half of it would have gone not to Jefferson but, in effect, to his slaves -- to the purchase price for land, livestock, equipment and transportation to establish them in a place such as Illinois or Ohio. Moreover, the slaves most suited for immediate emancipation -- smiths, coopers...

...Differentiate Living things from non-living things according to: Organization All living organisms have a definite shape and size as well as physical and chemical composition inherited from their parents. This is possible because of a high degree of organization. The molecules of which an organism is made up are organized into cells, which in turn are organized into tissues, organs and organ systems making the whole individual. This kind of complex organization is not found in non-living things. Metabolism Green plants obtain their nourishment from the environment in the form of water, carbon dioxide, and certain minerals which are utilized to synthesize carbohydrates during photosynthesis. Carbohydrates are in turn broken down during respiration and the energy thus released is used to synthesize other organic compounds like lipids, proteins, nucleic acids, etc. which make up the body. Animals, bacteria and fungi, on the other hand, obtain nourishment in the form of organic compounds and utilize them to synthesize compounds they need. Such reactions do not occur in non-living objects. Growth and Development Living organisms often arise from a single cell which divides and re-divides to form a large number of cells that differentiate into the various organs of the body. These kind of phenomena are not known in the non-living world. Reproduction Living organisms, unlike non-living, are universally recognized by their capacity to multiply their own types by means of asexual or...

...Thailand is performing well in its international trade, as seen from a remarkable increase in exports recorded in 2010 and a healthy outlook for 2011. According to the Director-General of the Department of Export Promotion, Mrs. Nuntawan Sakuntanag, Thai exports in 2010 are likely to expand by 24-25 percent, or 189-190 billion US dollars. For 2011, the Ministry of Commerce has set a target of export growth at 10 percent, or 207.9-209.6 billion dollars in value. The target growth is based on the value of 30 baht per US dollar and a crude oil price of 76-77 dollars per barrel. The Ministry of Commerce will work closely with the private sector in pushing Thai exports this year. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) will receive greater attention in terms of capacity-building, market development, cluster network development, and financial support and risk management. More emphasis will be placed on penetrating foreign markets that have high potential, such as ASEAN, China, India, and Russia. In addition, the Ministry of Commerce will attach great importance to developing and promoting value creation through creativity, innovation, branding, and environmentally friendly production. Although Thai exports in 2011 are expected to increase steadily, there are several key risk factors. For instance, the appreciation of the baht, higher production costs because of higher oil prices, and an increase in interest rates would have an impact on Thailand’s international trade. ...

...sorry guys, i dont have time now. I have many business papers that i can upload later. Firms in the advertising and public relations services industry prepare advertisements for other companies and organizations and design campaigns to promote the interests and image of their clients. This industry also includes media representatives—firms that sell advertising space for publications, radio, television, and the Internet; display advertisers—businesses engaged in creating and designing public display ads for use in shopping malls, on billboards, or in similar media; and direct mail advertisers. A firm that purchases advertising time (or space) from media outlets, thereafter reselling it to advertising agencies or individual companies directly, is considered a media buying agency. Divisions of companies that produce and place their own advertising are not considered part of this industry. Industry organization.

...Is It Plagiarism Yet? Discussion Questions: What are some of things that are considered blatant plagiarism? Cheating, and borrowing an unauthorized document that was not written by you. This includes coping a large section from a source without the proper punctuations/citations. When plagiarism is used, you are not giving the original owner proper credit. You are submitting documents that are not coming from your thoughts, nor were they type or written out. These words were created by someone else's thoughts. I have returned back to school to educate myself with the courses that were setup for me through the proper handling of Post University, so that I can move forward towards my goals, and career.

...“Already but not yet” Should be understood as the final battle between good and evil has already been won, but not yet. Christ is the victor but has yet to come and claim His full reward. The term “already but not yet” should resound through Christian teachings today. With The homosexuals winning their battle for same sex marriage, and many other victories for the other side. By knowing that no matter the battles lost today, Christians have already won the war, as the Church recognizes, however, that she exists in an interim state, she eagerly awaiting the return of Jesus Christ, and the consummation of all of God’s purpose. The “already” shows that Jesus is the fulfillment of all prophesies of the Old Testament. He is the true interpreter of Mosaic Law (Matthew 5:17-48, Hebrews 3:1-6), the new Joshua whom gives final rest to believers (Hebrews 3:7-4:13). He is the fulfillment of God’s true wisdom transcending the wisdom of the Old Testament (Colossians 2:1-3). He is the final prophet predicted by Moses (Deuteronomy 18:15; Acts 3:22-23; 7:37). The promises of the fulfillment of the kingdom are evident in His miracles, healings, and authority over demons (Matthew 12:28). Jesus is the one who will sit on David’s throne forever, thus fulfilling the already. The “not yet” indicates that the church of God is, however, in an interim state, as it awaits the return of Jesus Christ, and attempts to live out God’s purposes. The church is in a sense the new community of God, filled...

...Amy Smith CRIM 201 Assignment 7 Prosecutor pretending to be a public defender- This one is a hard one for me to decide which way to go. On the one hand him pretending to be a public defender did get the accused to surrender without further incident. On the other hand the prosecutor lying to the accused could have made things go horribly wrong. This is where the what if’s come into play. The big what if is- What if the accused found out mid-negotiation that the prosecutor was not who he said he was-this could have resulted in a shoot-out or a hostage situation or worse. Bottom line-the police should not have allowed the prosecutor to pretend to be someone he wasn’t. In my opinion this was totally unethical. Are the following actions of a prosecutor legal? Ethical? Why or why not? Authorizing arrest of one brother for drugs in order to get at the other brother. My opinion-completely unethical. The one brother should not be used against the other to gain information and loose his college scholarship. The prosecutor needs to find other means to get at the other brother he wants instead of jeopardizing the future of the innocent one. I don’t think it is legal. Announcing a suspect of a drive by shooting to the media so that the offender is in danger from rival gang members. In my opinion-illegal and unethical. Releasing a description of a suspect is one thing-but to release a name of a suspect so that rival gang members can get at them is wrong. Find another way to bring...

...with loan sharks. She was frightened at the sight of the blood, and he told her she could help save him. She agreed at once, without asking any questions. The next night, after the dishwashing shift, he picked her up in his car and told her, “You’ll help me, and I’ll also teach you how to enjoy yourself.” They drove to an isolated grove at the edge of the city, where a row of cars with their lights on were waiting. “A party,” she thought to herself. A few minutes later she was placed on a frayed child’s blanket that had been tossed on the back seat of the car; her brother taught her everything in 10 minutes. Behind him was a row of men who got out of the cars and stood one behind the other in front of the blanket. When one finished, the next one began. One car after another, night after night. For an entire month. That is how her elder brother paid his debt to the loan sharks − with the body of his 11-year-old sister. What followed was no better. To stop her from telling the story, he told their alcoholic mother that she, his sister, had forced him, had asked for it. “Whore,” screamed the woman who had given birth to her. “I knew in the end you’d be a whore,” and threw her out of the house into the street. D. was taken in by an older man and later gave birth to his children and built a family. But occasionally she would be overcome by uncontrollable fury and would mercilessly beat anyone who was near her. It made no difference if it was her husband or her young children...

...PIGS. España, Grecia, Italia y Portugal Crisis económica, austeridad, deuda, Pacto de Estabilidad y Crecimiento Los países periféricos ¿Qué ha llevado a los PIGS a la actual crisis económica? Los tipos de interés disminuyeron con la entrada de éstos en la eurozona para homologarse a las condiciones existentes en el área: entre 2000 y 2007, el tipo de interés real promedio fue de 2,7% en los países centrales de la eurozona y de 1,2% en los países del Sur. Junto al incremento de acceso al crédito de forma masiva era difícilmente sostenible, lo que produjo claramente una burbuja inmobiliaria financiada, al igual que sucedió en otros países como en el caso de EE.UU. Una vez estalla la crisis económica mundial, los países se encuentran con unas bajas perspectivas económicas, altas tasas de endeudamiento a las que no pueden hacer frente, además de países con unas balanzas fiscales desequilibradas. Se empieza a generar un sentimiento de incertidumbre entorno a la financiación. Los consumidores pierden confianza en el sistema financiero, económico, y en los sistemas de gobierno y control. Los propios Gobiernos no se ven en capacidad de corregir la situación sin aplicar medidas socialmente no populares. Mientras la prima de riesgo y el tipo de interés a los que tienen que hacer frente para la colocación de la deuda aumentan, las agencias calificadores reducen la nota de solvencia. El precio es que se pierde la soberanía y el poder de decisión propia en cuanto a las políticas económico-financieras...

However, Yoruba mythology states that Ile-Ife is the source of the human race and that it pre-dates any other civilization, although the oldest signs of human settlement dates back to the ninth century.[15] Ifẹ produced terracotta and bronze figures, and Ọyọ once extended from western Nigeria to Togo. The Kingdom of Benin is located in southwestern Nigeria. Benin's power lasted between the 15th and 19th century. Their dominance reached as far as the city of Eko (an Edo name later changed to Lagos by the Portuguese) and further.[18] The Kingdom of Nri of the Igbo people started in the 10th century until it lost its sovereignty to the British in 1911. It is the oldest kingdom in Nigeria.[19][20] Nri was ruled by the Eze Nri, and the city of Nri is considered to be the foundation of Igbo culture. Nri and Aguleri, where the Igbo creation myth originates, are in the territory of the Umeuri clan who trace their lineages back to the patriarchal king-figure Eri.[21] The oldest pieces of bronzes made out of the lost-wax process in West Africa were from Igbo Ukwu, a city under Nri influence.[19] Colonial era Main article: Colonial Nigeria Benin city in the 17th century with the Oba of Benin in procession.
