...Abortion in America is a controversial issue in which both sides have valid arguments at face value. The pro-choice side has many arguments to support it belief in keeping abortion legal. Many of these are faulty, and argue points irrelevent to the issue as I will attempt to illustrate, thereby eliminating the main pro-choice arguments. The pro-life position has somewhat different ideas. The most popular of these is: The unborn entity is fully human from the moment of conception. Abortion results in the intentional death of the unborn entity. Therefore, abortion can be defined the intentional killing of a human being. This killing is in most cases unjustified, since the unborn human being has a full right to life. If, however, there is a high probability that a woman's pregnancy will result in her death (such as tubal pregnancy, for example), then abortion is justified. For it is a greater good that one human should live (the mother) rather than two die (the mother and her child). Or, in such cases the intent is not to kill the unborn but to save the life of the mother. With the exception of such cases, abortion is an act in which an innocent human being is intentionally killed; therefore, abortion should be made illegal, as are all other such acts of killing. One argument made by people in favor of abortion is an appeal to pity. When one fallaciously argues by appealing to pity, one is arguing that certain actions should be permitted or tolerated out of pity...

...into most popular songs you listen to in today radio. Well, I’m here to give you the steps that producers/beat makers do to give artists that quality sound, and the tunes you listeners love to hear. From pop to hip-hop all the way to classical music, making beats couldn’t get any simpler. With today’s technology you are just a click away from making your own beat. To start, you’ll need to gather up some items. First you need either a laptop or desktop and it can be either pc or mac. Next you need to decide what DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) to use. A DAW is a digital audio workstation that allows you to record a session on your computer. Here’s a lists of DAW programs (FL Studio, Abelton, Pro Tools, Reasons, Logic Pro and etc.). For beginners, I would suggest using FL Studio and Logic Pro; I believe these 2 our easiest to understand than the other DAW programs. Last but not least have some good quality headphones or speaker monitors. Now when you have all the supplies, you go ahead and install the DAW program. Once the program is install go ahead in open the program to make a new session. Now here’s where the fun begins. For me I make a lot of hip-hop beats, and when I make hip-hop beats the tempo can range between 120 bpm to 140 bpm. And you can also turn on the metronome to keep a steady a pace/rhythm. Next you can either start with your percussion or instruments. For me I start with a melody, that’s usually the main sound you hear in a beat. Then after that you over lap...

...Running Head: THE ETHICAL ISSUES SURROUNDING ABORTION The Ethical Isues Surrounding Abortion Lynette Freemer Kaplan University HU 245-03 Professor Kashani December 21, 2013 Abortion is when you terminate a pregnancy by having the fetus removed from the uterus. Abortions can be the result of a complicated pregnancy, or they may be induced. An induced abortion is referred to as an elective abortion, and an abortion due to pregnancy complications is called a therapeutic abortion. The cultural views on abortion are different around the world. People who are against abortion are referred to as pro-life, while everyone else is referred to as pro-choice. Many parts of the world have a current controversy with the ethical and legal aspects of abortions. Abortion is currently a legal operation in the United States. Women's abortion rights in the United States appear straightforward since abortions have technically been legal in the U.S. since 1973 (Krasemann & Thiroux, 2012). When examining the issue more closely, however, the status of a woman's right to abortion is far from static. Depending on location, age, and stage of pregnancy abortion rights are currently a complex and varied situation for American women. Before 1973, there was no national law on abortion in the United States. Many women sought illegal, unsanitary and potentially lethal abortions at the hands of unlicensed practitioners. The Roe v. Wade case changed this, allowing abortions to be practiced...

...Check Point Financial Forecasting November 12, 2012 The most comprehensive means of financial forecasting is to develop a series of pro forma, or projected, financial statements. Financial forecast is about the pro-forma income statement, cash budget, and pro-forma balance sheet. The statements are often required by bankers and other lenders as a guide for the future. A brand new company needs to have sales projection plan, production plan, and have a pro forma income statement because it is a new business, so it would not have any prior financial reports. If there was a new business that I would trying to open, I would have to know, how much money products are going to cost, how much revenue. I would need to make and what is expected of the business. Family owned company, would need the same thing. It is still treated like a brand new company because you still need financial reports, which are production plan, cash balance and sales projections to get the banks to finance and to know how the bill are going to be paid. A long-standing corporation is a little different because they have been there longer and there are more financial statements. There are pro-forma income statements, cash budget, and other budgets used together equal pro-forma balance sheet are used by business small and large to obtain lending, set production levels, forecast sales, and forecast profits. There is an end budget plan because the business has been there longer, than the other...

The story of Quaker Oats’ success is one of a company led by a strong management effectively growing in the face of increasing competition and economic cycles through internal and inorganic growth.

Diversity is necessary to secure the whole company’s survival. In addition, Quaker Oats thought they had the resources to make Snapple expand internationally. Gatorade Acquisition - A Huge Success Purchase of Gatorade in 1983 (as part of the Stokely-Van Camp purchase) catapulted Quaker to the top of an untapped beverage segment that, to this day, dominates 80% of the market.

...Introduction Managing the risk of changing prices of gold is central to the business strategy of American Barrick Resources Corp., one of North America's largest and most successful gold-mining firms. The case contrasts this firm's hedging policies with those of its rivals that do not hedge and details the wide range of hedging products (gold loans, forwards, options, and spot deferred contracts) used to manage price risk. In 1992 the management of American Barrick is pleasantly surprised by unexpected new gold finds, but this new production places demands on the firm's hedging program and tests the firm's commitment to hedging when prices of gold and of many hedging vehicles are unattractive. The gold mining industry has been heavily impacted by the fluctuating gold prices and continuously rising operating costs. Hedging gold prices has become important to ensure financial stability in a sector where mines are unprofitable due to high volatility. Through this case we question the value created by hedging and analyse various instruments to decide upon the best available instrument to Barrick. In this document we explore: 1. Popular theories of hedging and focus on hedging in the gold industry. 2. Analyse features and risk of the gold hedging program at Barrick. 3. Analyse characteristics of Barrick’s gold hedging program. In this document we conclude that value of hedging gold prices creates value for shareholders especially when other firms remain exposed. ...

...ABORTION For decades, abortion has been a very sensitive contemporary issue where science and religion are in disagreement. The subject is so sensitive that there are now many laws governing the legality of the issue. In as many as thirty countries abortion has now been legalized while the remaining countries have partial restrictions or complete bans on abortion, unless the life of the mother is in danger. The majority of pro-life advocates against abortion believe that abortion is a form of murder and demeans the value of human life. A baby is considered a gift from God and it is believed that every living being has a purpose behind his/her birth. After all, abortion implies depriving a child the chance for a well-deserved life. Advocates also argue that by terminating a life, how can we justify our acts? Aren’t we acting against the creator of the world? Pro-choice advocates claim that the fetus is not yet a real baby to justify their beliefs when in actuality, from the moment of conception, the fetus is truthfully a living, breathing human being. There are three major issues that have been associated with abortion legalization: 1. The abortion decision is often made by minors or young adults, who lack the maturity and life experience to make good decisions. 2. Women who have abortions often suffer major psychological damage from the experience, whether it is right away or years down the road. It’s also been said that the father...

...Introduction Deutsche Brauerei (DB) is a German company owned by 16 Schweitzer family members. It was founded in 1737, and has been in the family for 12 generations. DB manufactures two types of beer; light and dark. Both are well known and have won quality awards. The case centers around the financing of the company’s expansion into the Ukrainian market (and possibly further into Eastern Europe) and its impact on financial planning, future dividends and employee compensation. Background Facts A fire destroyed the manufacturing plant in 1994. New equipment was purchased. The new equipment was more efficient and was capable of increasing the capacity. Once DB expanded into the Ukraine (1998), the additional capacity became necessary. The move into the Ukrainian market was very risky because in 1995 and 1996, their government was privatizing a lot of the free market. This did not impact DB. For the Ukrainian market, Oleg Pinchuk was hired to market the beer very aggressively. He was stolen from a major Ukrainian rival. He had instant success because the beer was considered to be richer than the domestic competition. Also, the market was very fragmented which is easier for a newcomer to have instant success. The DB beer in Germany served its markets through a network of independent distributors. The distributors purchased the beer, stored the beer in their refrigerated warehouses and then sold the beer to their customers. Since the Ukrainian market...

The details come from Japanese magazine Mac Fan, which were summarized on Tuesday by Macotakara. The report claims Apple's next-generation iPhone may sport a 1,920-by-1,080-pixel 5-inch display packing in 440 pixels per inch. It was claimed that Apple plans to make both sides of the screen as "thin as possible." That could allow the company to promote the "iPhone 6" as the first "phablet" able to be operated with one hand.

...Should abortion be legal? With the recent presidential campaign of 2012 one of the greatest issues of concern for the democrats and republicans is; should abortion be legal? During the presidential debate of 2012 each candidates expressed their concerns about abortion. It boils down to moral reasoning and core values. Logic gives the ability to decide what we believe to be true based on premise and conclusion. We use logic to decide whether an argument it is ethical or justifiable. Often times these decisions are formed by the media, religious affiliation and family values. These arguments come from many areas. Most commonly they are from the politics/law, science and women’s rights. The question is should abortion be legal? The Democratic Party supports Roe v. Wade and a woman's right to make decisions regarding her pregnancy, including a safe and legal abortion, regardless of ability to pay. Roe v. Wade has been a monumental case associated with a woman’s right to choose. With the Democratic Party in favor of women right to make her own decision on the basis of sanctity of life many people on this side of the spectrum voted in favor of a democratic president that represents their own core values. This particular issue affects people in the here and now along with people that are yet to come. Republicans oppose Roe vs. Wade because of the sanctity of human life. They believe that the unborn child has a fundamental individual right to life which cannot be infringed upon...

...A. Components 1 and 2 Revisions I did not receive the revisions at my mailing address, I emailed you last week and you informed me no revisions were necessary and that you mailed them out. I fear it got lost, and still have not received them. B. Annotated Bibliography of 5 Articles 1.) Strickler, Jennifer and Nicholas L. Danigelis. 2002. Changing Frameworks in Attitudes Toward Abortion. Sociological Forum, Vol. 17, No. 2, 187-201. The article looks at the issue of legal abortion, and attitudes have changed over the years. The researchers examine how the determinants of abortion attitudes have changed between 1977 and 1996, using data from the General Social Surveys. There are several reasons to explain how the approval of abortion has increased between 1977 and 1996. By the 90s, abortion had been legal for two decades, the population had become more educated and more secular, and other sociodemographic trends were consistent with increasing desire for contraceptive methods. For the study, the 20 years are divided into four periods of relatively equal duration and subsample size: 1977–80, 1982–85, 1987–91, and 1993–96. From this, it is noted that early time periods, whites were more approving of abortion than blacks, that pattern had reversed by the late 1980s. As part of their research study, they used weights to control for the effects of over sampling blacks in 1982 and 1987. The dependent variable was a summated Abortion Approval Scale based on the number of “yes”...
