...Kibble announced the cost at a House subcommittee hearing in 2010. Deportation is the legal process in which an alien, meaning a foreigner who is not a U.S. citizen is formally removed from the U.S. for a violating the U.S. immigration laws. The U.S. Citizenship and immigration Service (USCIS) is the government agency that handles lawful immigration into the U.S., a different agency known as the Executive Office for Immigration (EOIR) is a division oversees the court procedures when an alien is brought before an immigration judge. Deportation may have the greatest individual impact on those actually marked for removal, meaning sent back to their home country. The removal procedure begins with the Department of Homeland Security file a document called a “Notice to Appear” form I-862 with the immigration court after is served on the alien. An order for deportation is disruptive to illegal immigrant families. Parents and children stand to be separated from one another with long periods of time, and a family might be forced to move on without the deportee, because illegal immigrant lack of monetary means, also children could become wards of the state. According to the Pew Research Center, relieve from threats of deportation is more important for Hispanic illegal immigrants than obtaining a chance at citizenship. The threat of deportation increased when the program named Secure Communities, which began in 2008 at the end of George W Bush administration, local law enforcement and...

...TACTIX -AN OPERATION SIMULATION CHALLENGE Visit: Prerana Website, FB Page Tactix: The Simulation Challenge Greetings from NITIE, Mumbai! Round 2: Case of the Fishy Company April 2012: Fishy Company is a tier 1 supplier of a big automobile OEM. Fishy started its operation in the last year only i.e. around September 2011. It provides 2 sub assembly parts to the OEM. For making these parts Fishy uses 3 kinds of raw materials i.e. Metal tube, containers and cleaves. These raw materials are supplied by tier 2 suppliers who are domestic as well as international. Inventory as we all know is boon as well as bane. High inventory means high holding costs and capital tied up. Low inventory means stock outs, low customer service level and loss of reputation. So the inventory should be just right. Fishy needs your help As Fishy is a new company, the past 6-7 months it had kept stock of these raw materials based on rule of thumb. However now with the business growing they want to use some scientific models to determine how much stock they should keep for each raw material. Fishy has approached your team to prepare the scientific model. They have sent you the excel sheet “Fishy Details” (attached with mail) which has all the details about the forecast and consumption patterns of these raw materials from September 2011 to March 2012. “Cover day norms” sheet tells you about the current cover days that Fishy keeps for its raw materials, In-transit stock and finished goods inventory...

...Voter-ID Laws and discriminatory intent PSC 1010 American National Government The Voter-ID Laws is one of the hot issues in contemporary American Politics. Supporters of the Voter-ID Laws say they are needed to prevent voter fraud. Opponents say they discriminate against the poor, elderly and minorities. Opponents also argue that the Voter-ID Laws are against the Fourteenth Amendment and Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. Four principles of the Fourteenth Amendments are: 1. State and federal citizenship for all persons regardless of race both born or naturalized in the United States was reaffirmed. 2. No state would be allowed to abridge the "privileges and immunities" of citizens. 3. No person was allowed to be deprived of life, liberty,or property without "due process of law." 4. No person could be denied "equal protection of the laws." (Kelly) Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 “prohibits voting practices or procedures that discriminate on the basis of race, color, or membership in one of the language minority groups identified in Section 4(f)(2) of the Act.” (The United States Department of Justice) 34 states have adopted some kind of voter ID law, which comes in several different variations: * Strict voter ID law requires voters to provide a valid ID. * Non-Strict voter ID law does not require a valid ID but the voters are permitted to sign an affidavit attesting to their identity. * A Photo voter ID, voters must show an accepted...

...Porter Gervais Professor Duron 10/21/13 IFRS Rough Draft Ch.20 IFRS vs. GAAP When accounting for pensions and post-retirement benefits, IFRS and GAAP have similarities as well as differences. There are two pension plans that are frequently used in accounting for pensions. These two plans are known as, defined contribution plan and defined benefit plan. Both GAAP and IFRS separate their pension plans, but their accounting for defined benefit plans differ. Another major difference occurs when recognizing actuarial gains and losses. Differences between IFRS and GAAP arise when distinguishing unrecognized past service cost. IFRS and GAAP also have their similarities. They both have similar views when it comes to their view of pensions and postretirement benefits. Both IFRS and GAAP also use the corridor approach when recognizing gains and losses. The defined contribution plan relies on an employer who contributes an amount on certain periods to a pension trust, while the defined benefit plan summarizes the benefits that employees will receive when they retire. There are similarities and differences concerning defined benefit plans. Both IFRS and GAAP recognize liabilities and costs for employee benefits during the period when the service is provided. It’s important to understand that GAAP refers to the defined benefit obligation as the (APBO), while IFRS states it as the (PVDBO). The differences start occurring when recognizing net funded status.

...greater pay and rewards than employees with acceptable level (Mathis, p.377). Unfortunately, if employee’s performance is below standards than the employee may not receive any compensation, be placed on a performance-improving plan or may even be fired. The idea is to encourage employees to do their best and they will be rewarded for their efforts. While I was in the healthcare field, there was a movement on pay for performance nationwide being implemented. The idea is to give better overall healthcare outcomes, while obtaining financial incentives. The way it is measured is through documentation in medical records, it is critical to have everything documented. I have mixed feeling about this because it would take at times, longer to document, while the patient did not get, as much time with the physician, in addition, just because the medical provider tries to get patients to change their behavior does not mean they actually will. For instance, when I was an office manager for a wound care clinic, many of our patients were their due to uncontrolled diabetes. We had to counsel patients to stop smoking, making healthier decisions and see a registered dietitian. I would estimate that less than 10 percent of our patients in a year actually made changes to a healthier life style. Depending on the diagnosis of the patient, the physician only had a certain time to treat the patient, in order to have favorable results that would actually pay for the treatment. In these instances, it...

...Brady Heidrick Dr. Dan Deines ACCTG 641 15 October 2014 The Meteoric Rise and Fall of Enron Enron was created in 1985 after a merger between Houston Natural Gas and Internorth. By 2002 it was gone forever. Its stock price rose to $90/share in August of 2000 before bottoming out at $0.40/share when they filed for bankruptcy on Dec. 2nd 2001. It only took 16 years for one of the largest Fortune 500 companies to completely dissolve, taking employee jobs, pensions, Arthur Andersen, and the American public’s faith with it. Enron and its young McKinsey consultant created the energy derivative and used it to form the new natural gas division that dominated the market. However, the use of mark-to-market accounting and the creation of Special Purpose Entities (SPEs) led to overstated profits and inaccurate balance sheets. By the fall of 2001 nobody could find out how Enron was making its money. A disclosure on the October financial statements for a $1.2 billon dollar reversal caught the Security and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) attention. They launched an investigation and in less than two months Enron filed for bankruptcy protection. A large part of the scandal also focused around Arthur Andersen, at the time of the of the Big Five accounting firms, because of its qualified auditing opinions of Enron. It ultimately ceased to exist because of its involvement with the Enron fraud. The Enron scandal showed the public that changes in accounting and auditing standards...

...Euthanasia is a word coined from the Greek language, Eu meaning good or noble; Thanatos meaning death, in the seventeenth century by Francis Bacon to refer to an easy, painless, happy death. (Singer) Within euthanasia, there are two types. Active and passive. Active euthanasia occurs when a medical professional or another person deliberately does something to cause the death of a patient. Passive euthanasia occurs when a medical professional either stops doing something that is keeping a patient alive or they don’t do something necessary to keep a patient alive. Like switching off life support or disconnecting a feeding tube. A term that is commonly confused, but is similar to euthanasia, is physician assisted suicide. Although the results and reasoning’s behind each type of death is the same, they differ in the way that the death is administered. In euthanasia, the physician performs the intervention. Usually with a lethal dose of a powerful drug such as morphine or Pentobarbital. During physician assisted suicide, the drug, and means of delivery, are given to the patient by the physician. However, the patient accomplishes the act of injection. Leading to his or her own death (A General History Of Euthanasia) The first time euthanasia was reported on record was around 400BC by Suetonius, a Roman historian, while describing the death of Augustus Caesar. Although the actions of an easy, painless death have been used on hopeless patients since ancient times, these acts have been...

...How Many Countries in the World? There are 196 countries in the world today. Unless you don't count Taiwan… Taiwan is not considered an official country by many, which would bring the countdown to 195 countries. Although Taiwan operates as an independent country, many countries (including the U.S.) do not officially recognize it as one. Because the People's Republic of China considers Taiwan a breakaway province of China, countries who wish to maintain diplomatic relations with China have had to sever their formal relations with Taiwan (more than 100 countries, however, have unofficial relations with Taiwan). | | | Republic of China Geography: The Republic of China today consists of the island of Taiwan, an island 100 mi (161 km) off the Asian mainland in the Pacific; two off-shore islands, Kinmen (Quemoy) and Matsu; and the nearby islets of the Pescadores chain. It is slightly larger than the combined areas of Massachusetts and Connecticut. Government: Multiparty democracy. History: Taiwan was inhabited by aborigines of Malayan descent when Chinese from the areas now designated as Fukien and Kwangtung began settling it in the 7th century, becoming the majority. The Portuguese explored the area in 1590, naming it “the Beautiful” (Formosa). In 1624 the Dutch set up forts in the south, the Spanish in the north. The Dutch forced out the Spanish in 1641 and controlled the island until 1661, when Chinese general Koxinga took it over and established an independent kingdom...
