... 609-367-4317 bluntreality@gmail.com Abstract This paper examines the prevalence of false allegations of domestic violence within the criminal justice system; detailing how the accused are often viewed as guilty until they are proven innocent. In Part I, I will reveal the problems associated with false allegations of domestic violence, and why this topic is of importance to me. Part II will examine the flawed responses to these accusations that pervade the criminal justice system. Part III will explicate the incentives by vindictive people to make such claims – e.g. winning a divorce case, or receiving custody of the children. Part IV will review the statistical analysis of false domestic violence claims, and outline the cost to not only the accused, but the government as well. Lastly, in Part V I will summarize the topic by arguing that laws should be changed to reflect that some individuals use false allegations of domestic violence in a malicious manner, and that they should be dealt with accordingly.

...CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION TO GLOBAL MARKETING SUMMARY Marketing is an organizational function and a set of processes for creating, communicating, and delivering value to customers and for managing customer relationships in ways that benefit the organization and its stakeholders. A company that engages in global marketing focuses resources on global market opportunities and threats. Successful global marketers such as Nestle, Coca-Cola, and Honda use familiar marketing mix elements – the four Ps – to create global marketing programs. Marketing, R&D, manufacturing, and other activities comprise a firm’s value chain; The value equation (V =B/P) expresses the relationship between values and the marketing mix. Global companies also maintain strategic focus while pursuing competitive advantage. The marketing mix, value chain, competitive advantage, and focus are universal in their applicability, irrespective of whether a company does business only in the home country or has a presence in many markets around the world. However, in a global industry, companies that fail to pursue global opportunities risk being pushed aside by stronger global competitors. A firm’s global marketing strategy (GMS) can enhance its worldwide performance. The GMS addresses several issues. First is nature of the marketing program in terms of the balance between a standardization (extension) approach to the marketing mix and a localization (adaptation) approach that is responsive to country or regional...

...interpretation and application in certain cases that require more than the mere application of existing laws. The critics of judicial activism fault it for violation of application of available or pre-existing laws but rather the judge decides cases based on his own emotional persuasion and views on a case. Judges constitute members of the society whose actions should impact it positively (Harten, 2013). The architects of the Constitution anticipated a judiciary that can effectively tackle various issues like injustices and address discontentment even in the absence of applicable law. For instance, the Canadian ruling on the status of Métis and non-status...

...provide new information relative to the change process and to our evolving society and culture. T here are many change theories and some of the most widely recognized are briefly summarized in this article. The theories serve as a testimony to the fact that change is a real phenomenon. It can be observed and analyzed through various steps or phases. The theories have been conceptualized to answer the question, “How does successful change happen?” Lewin’s Three-Step Change Theory Kurt Lewin (1951) introduced the three-step change model. This social scientist views behavior as a dynamic balance of forces working in opposing directions. Driving forces facilitate change because they push employees in the desired direction. Restraining forces hinder change because they push employees in the opposite direction. Therefore, these forces must be analyzed and Lewin’s three-step model can help shift the balance in the direction of the planned change (http://www.csupomona.edu/~jvgrizzell/best_practices/bctheory.html). 1 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCHOLARLY ACADEMIC INTELLECTUAL DIVERSITY...

...Case summary: First the writer argued with the way that the government agency calculates unemployment, and the following caused inaccuracy in their estimations: 1. Mythical jobs: The government could not identify them; it made an assumption about trends and they are in industries such as finance that have absolutely no job creation. 2. Unpaid leave. These people don't count on the unemployment rolls. 3. At least 1.4 million people weren't counted among the unemployed, because they hadn't searched for work in the four weeks preceding the survey. 4. Stealth underemployment: The number of workers taking part-time jobs because of the slack economy, a kind of stealth underemployment, has doubled in this recession to about 9 million, or 5.8% of the work force. 5. Full-time workers are being downgraded to part-time as businesses slash labor costs to remain above water. 6. The average length of official unemployment increased to 24.5 weeks. This is the longest term since the government started to track these data in 1948. 7. The average worker saw no wage gains in June, with average compensation running flat at an average of $18.53 an hour. 8. The jobs report is even uglier when you consider that the sector producing goods is losing the most jobs -- 223,000 in the last report alone. 9. The prospects for job creation are equally distressing. The likelihood is that when economic activity picks up, employers will first choose to increase hours for existing...

...traveling on a motorcycle, moped or bicycle. To understand the usefulness of anything better to understand what happens when someone gets hit in the head element. The mechanism of injury When the vehicle is involved in a crash, the driver usually falls. If the head strikes an object, such as the ground, a contact or injury occurs by direct impact. In addition, the movement of the body including head during the march on a bicycle or motorcycle stops abruptly, while the brain continues moving inside the skull in the direction of body motion and after it hits the inner wall of the skull is driven in the opposite direction. This type of internal impact can cause brain damage from a small to a big injury that causes death. How does the helmet in case of impact? Helmet absorbs some of the impact energy with its structure, and the brain hits against the skull with less force. It disperses the force of impact in a larger area so that the energy of the impact is not so focused on one part of the head. The rigid outer shell distributes the force of impact in a larger area and provides head protection while avoiding the penetration of...
