...Do you agree with the view that militancy achieved nothing? Sources 1d and 1e both disagree that militancy achieved nothing but source 1b agrees with this view. Source 1b agrees with the view that militancy achieved nothing because it shows that men didn't take women seriously. In the picture it shows a woman called Una Dugdale, who refused to repeat the word obey in her wedding vowels, standing in front of a group of men that don't seem interested in what she is saying. This suggests that the excitement made by Una Dugdale in the past, did not count for anything as these men look completely uninterested in her. From my own knowledge I know that the WSPU, or the Suffragettes, made a lot of militant achievements, as a result of militant methods they lost support of the government as the government didn't want to seem weak against the suffragettes and called them fanatics, hysterical and lunatics. Una Dugdale, in the source, was part of the suffragettes and worked closely with Emmeline Pankhurst. The fact that Una is in the middle of nowhere trying to speak to these men shows that militancy achieved nothing as people didn't want to listen to them. Source 1d disagrees with the view that militancy achieved nothing. The source states that women need to become more militant, "be militant". This shows that Emmeline pPankhurstppp urged women to stand up for their right to vote, and wanted women to do anything to get what they wanted. Though sometimes the militancy didn't work...

...Homework 3 LEI FENG(Kimmy) Problem3 (1) Two years ago, Decedent gave Child $750,000 in cash. Decedent dies in the current year. (a) What is included in Decedent’s gross estate? Decedent made a transfer within 3 years of death. Under Section 2035(a), nothing is included in Decedent’s gross estate, because it’s a cash gift. However, under Section 2035(b), the amount of the gross estate shall be increased by the amount of any tax paid on any gift made by the decedent during the 3-year period ending on the date of the decedent’s death. So the amount of gift tax of this gift the decedent paid is included in his gross estate. (b) What is the result in question (1)(a), above, if Decedent gave Child a life insurance policy on Decedent’s life worth $100,000, with a face value of $750,000, instead of cash? $750,000 is included in D’s gross estate, because the under section 2035(a)(1), the transfer was made within 3 years of the decedent’s death, and under 2035(a)(2), the value of such property would have been included in the decedent’s gross estate under section 2042. (c) What is the result in question (1)(b), above, if, after the gift, Child made annual premium payments totaling $30,000? Assume that Decedent’s total pre-gift premium payments were $120,000. D purchased $120,000 on insurance out of $150,000. Any improvements made by donee are not included in the gross estate. (12/15) * $750,000 = $600,000 is included...

...MONEY & BANKS …. THE HIDDEN TRUTH BEHIND GLOBAL DEBT . 1) What is money... how is it created and who creates it? 2) Why is almost everyone up to their eyeballs in debt... individuals, businesses and whole nations? 3) Why can’t we provide for our daily needs - homes, furnishings cars etc. without borrowing? 4) How much could prices fall and wages increase if businesses did not have to pay huge sums in interest payments which have to be added to the cost of goods and services they supply...? 5) How much could taxes be reduced and spending on public services such as health and education be increased if governments created money themselves instead of borrowing it at interest from private banks…? "If you want to be the slaves of banks and pay the cost of your own slavery, then let the banks create money…" Josiah Stamp, Governor of the Bank of England 1920. WHAT IS MONEY....? It is simply the medium we use to exchange goods and services. * Without it, buying and selling would be impossible except by direct exchange. * Notes and coins are virtually worthless in their own right. They take on value as money because we all accept them when we buy and sell. * To keep trade and economic activity going, there has to be enough of this medium of exchange called money in existence to allow it all to take place. * When there is plenty, the economy booms. When there is a shortage, there is a slump. * In the Great Depression, people wanted to work, they wanted...

...Another reason why others and I are pro secession is, a state will secede because they have no common interest with whom they seceded from. When looking at the Maine secession before Maine seceded, all of the farmers from Massachusetts moved to Maine for the richer soil and overall better farming conditions, but Massachusetts was made up mostly of coastal merchants. These are vey different types of careers that have next to nothing in common. With nothing in common these two areas have no unity and are constantly at strife with one another; in addition Massachusetts holds the legislative powers and makes laws and regulations work best for their interests only. But once Maine seceded, it closed the gap and ended much of the strife these areas...

...Overview of the Book “Grip of Death” If you ever wondered where money comes from, how it's created, and why it's created in the way it is, then The Grip of Death is for you. This book explains how the banking system is actually a form of institutionalised fraud, based on the original activities of goldsmiths who would lend more "money" than they actually had on deposit. The only reason we accept the system without a second thought seems to be that it has the weight of tradition behind it. But the weight of tradition is not enough to justify its validity, as the author shows. The basic thesis of the book goes like this. Money, in the sense of credit, is not and has not for a long time been created by the governments of the world. Instead, it is created by the banks every time someone borrows from them, and along with it is created an equal amount of debt. This is how it works. You borrow a sum of money from the bank. They don't take it out of their assets--they can't; their assets belong to other people. Instead, they magic into existence a credit balance in your account. You spend the money, which goes round and comes back into the banking system: at the same time you are working to get money to pay off the debt you owe. The money the bank created, and the money you have made by working, come back to the bank, get added to the bank's assets, and get used as the basis for more and larger borrowing. Right now there is more money around than there has ever been--but it's almost...

Ron Bynum, owner of the store, anticipated the need for a bank loan in the last months of 2008. In June 2008, Bynum instructs the store’s accountant to record a $6 000 sale of furniture to the Bynum family, even though the goods won’t be shipped from the manufacturer until July 2008. Recommended stakeholder analysis steps: (NOTE: this is a full answer but you may have other issues and or recommendations to make. Words in BOLD are key statements to make for gaining marks in an exam.) 1. Recognise the ethical situation/dilemma. The owner is proposing an unethical treatment of revenue. Bynum & Hobbs a department store that expects to seek a loan in the future due to downturn of business, so the change is likely to be material if a $6 000 sale will make all the difference to getting or not getting the loan. Revenue must be recognised when it is earned. This occurs when ‘the seller has transferred to the buyer the significant risk and rewards of ownership’, in other words when the goods are delivered (AASB 118, para...

The first thing that got them into trouble was the fact that Kopper was appointed to Fastow and he was an employee of Enron. I do not believe that he had the best interest involved. Another thing was that over 11 million was suppose to be invested and it never was. I believe that this was the start of the problems! Another thing was the fact that Enron was incorrectly booking revenue for services that was not yet done. Enron stocks were paid by promissory notes and not cash. 3. Did Enron’s directors understand how profits were being made in this segment? Why or why not? No I do not believe that Enron directors understood how the profits were being made.

...Triangle. The Iron Triangle is the correspondence of interest groups, the bureaucracy, and congress that works to create laws and regulations for the best interest of each part (Albert Blog, 2016, para 3). Using the Iron triangle, could lead to laws and regulations that help to end racial profiling. A sad example of racial profiling happened at the Detroit airport on September 9, 2011. This injustice occurred to a half Jewish and Arabic woman named Shoshana Hebshi. Hebshi and two men of Indian decent were forcibly removed from an airplane due to concerns from passengers and flight attendants about the men using the rest room (Warikoo, 2013). This is a good example of racial profiling because these people were treated as criminals simply due to the fact that they looked like the type of person that who had committed the 9/11 crimes.

...There's nothing to say about nothing. Still, some people make a fuss about it. Among spiritual seekers, there's a lot of talk about "becoming nothing". On this site about nothing, we're not going to talk about "nothing", because "nothing" can't be talked about. When people talk about "nothing", they're not really talking about nothing, they're talking about something. It's not a real nothing, it's a "nothing" they can hold in their mind. It's a nothing that feels like something, perhaps a black hole, perhaps a lonely place. They have words for it, perhaps "void", "emptiness", "nothingness". Nothingness is not nothing. It comes and it goes, so it's got to be something. You can look at it. You can hold it. You can throw it out. And when you throw it out, what's left?... ...And that's all we're going to say about that. This little introduction has nothing to do with the articles on the site. It's just here to confuse the philosophers and perhaps intrigue a few people with a genuine interest in nothing. This is a site about nothing. We hope you enjoy it. Perhaps you'd like to start with a 25-second playful video clip about a show about nothing? love numbers. And I have always loved computing.
