...The death penalty is not carried out enough. Until America gets the message death penalty should be carried out within six months after the first appeal. This gives the convicted time to get right with their god. In most case victim was not afforded the privilege of mercy. The right to a speedy trial is expressed in the U.S. Constitution on federal and state level. The Six amendment guarantee, among other things, that in all criminal prosecution cases, the accused may be allowed the right to a speed …trial. The death penalty was only used in most cases instituted at the federal level, it has since been incorporated on the state level via the fourteenth amendment. These amendments addressed the prolonged time for punishment. Punishment and executions varied from state to state based on appeals and the governor’s orders.

...issue in many countries, especially in the United States. The death penalty or the capital punishment is a sentence imposed by the law, which remove the legal life of the person who commit or is suspected of having committed a serious crime. The history of death penalty in the U.S is long and ruthless and the first recorded execution was in 1608. There are many kinds of death penalty which have been used in US such as shooting, electric chair, hanging, lethal injection. Some people believe that it is never ethical and justifiable to carry out the death penalty as means of punishment by the law. Nowadays, approximately 2/3 of all countries have banned the death penalty included 18 states of the United States. Most executions take place in the Southern states, according to this source, until 2008, 930 out of 1136 executions took place there, with Texas having carried out 422 (The pros and cons of the death penalty in the USA, n.d). This research will indicate whether the death penalty in the U.S should be abolished. Body Paragraph Reasons for the abolishment of Capital Punishment in the U.S It is possible to argue that the death penalty in the U.S should be eliminated because of inviolable human rights, unjust punishment and faint correlation between executions and crime rates. Firstly, inalienable human-rights are against the death penalty in all over the world because no one can decide who could be alive. Against Capital Punishment (n.d) argues that “everyone has a right...

...The case is about the new capital state Arena on the campus of Capital State University which will be mainly used for Basket ball and also be used for other sporting events. So the new Arena which takes the place of the St Patrick Arena will need new console lighting system . In order for this project to begin, it first must start with the purchasing department who contacted two suppliers via telephone and after searching for other sources by a re-view a possibility of a third supplier was uncovered. To decide among these three consoles some of the console features are to be considered. The console must be users-friendly, and expandable since eventually additional lights might be added.The purchasing department also wants to purchase a theatrical lighting system that can be easily upgraded, equipped with a warranty, maintenance, and the repair of parts.

The gymnasium is mainly used for basketball events, but will hold commencement exercises and other university sports in the future. That is the main reason the gymnasium is in need of enhancing its lighting system. The arena is overdue for some lighting adjustments because it has yet to be changed over the years. In order for this project to begin, it first must start with the purchasing department who has requests from two suppliers and a possibility of a third supplier. They have offered to make the renovation to the theatrical lighting system to have accommodated the different events. “The current technology was specified; the system will be leased out at a rate of $2000.00 per day plus operator expenses” (Benton, p.461). Some of the console features to consider is the lighting consoles needs are being users-friendly.

...pp. 1–25 The Effect of State Income Tax Apportionment and Tax Incentives on New Capital Expenditures Sanjay Gupta and Mary Ann Hofmann ABSTRACT: This study examines how variations in states’ corporate income tax regimes affect new capital investment by business. Using U.S. state-aggregated data from 1983 to 1996, we find in pooled and fixed-effects regressions that new capital expenditures by corporations in the manufacturing sector are decreasing in the income tax burden on property (measured as the product of the statutory tax rate and the property factor weight), and increasing at a decreasing rate in investment-related tax incentives. The effect of the income tax burden on property is more pronounced for states mandating unitary taxation or the throwback rule. Triangulating our empirical findings with prior analytical and simulation studies suggests the following hierarchy for the relative importance of major attributes of state corporate income tax regimes: the unitary or throwback requirement is most influential on incremental capital investment, followed by apportionment weights and tax rates, and, finally, investment-related incentives. Keywords: state taxation; apportionment formula; tax incentives, unitary business principle, throwback rule. JEL Classification: H20; H71. INTRODUCTION he purpose of this study is to provide empirical evidence on the effects of variations in states’ corporate income tax regimes on new capital investment by business. Specifically...

Hyperinflation…………………………………………………………..10. Demand and Supply…………………………………………………….11. Conclusion………………………………………………………………12 Introduction of Macro-economy It is perhaps mostly for this reason that macroeconomics, the study of these economy-wide phenomena, is so exciting. Macroeconomics is more than just headlines, however; it is a fascinating intellectual adventure. The breadth of issues it covers is evidence enough of its inherent complexity. All the same, we will see that simple economic reasoning can take us a long way. And it is often surprising how well a few simple ideas fit complex situations. Macroeconomics can also be useful. The economic well-being of all consumers, rich or poor, is afected by movements in interest rates, exchange rates, and the rate of inflation. Businesses stand to gain or lose considerable amounts of money when their economic environment changes, regardless of how well they are managed. Being prepared for such changes in fortunes can have considerable value; more generally, it makes us all better citizens able to grasp the complex challenges that our societies face. Macroeconomics is relevant to voters who wonder what their governments are up to, and can also help governments avoid the worst economic crises that have a7icted modern industrial...

...Define and Describe the Four Factors Of Production In every society there are so called 'factors of production,' that are used to manufacture goods and services. These are often referred to as limited resources: The first factor of production is land. This refers not just to land itself but to all natural resources - the surface of the earth, forests, mineral deposits etc... These resources can be split into two different types: non-renewable and renewable. Non-renewable resources are resources such as coal, oil, gold and copper which once used up can never be replaced as their formation took millions of years. Renewable resources include fish stocks, water and wind power and these can be renewed and replaced. However these sources require careful management as misuse can lead to destruction of the source. Some nations are endowed with natural resources and exploit this by specialising in the extraction and production of these resources LAND This category sometimes extends over all natural resources. It is intended to represent the contribution to production of nonhuman resources as found in their original, unimproved form. For the French physiocrats led by Francois Quesnay in the 1750s and 1760s, land was the only factor yielding a reliable gain to its owner. In their view, laborers and artisans were powerless and in excess supply, and hence they earned on average only a subsistence-level income; and in the same way what they produced outside of agriculture fetched enough to...

...01/28/2011 EH205 Essay 2 When and why did London grow so much faster than other early modern capitals? By examine the key differences among Paris, Madrid, and London, I argue that from1650 to1750, the reason why London boosted in terms of demographic expansion and market integrations is that -- instead of creating market disorder by demanding cheap supply of goods from other places, emphasizing social privileges and over consumptions, London attracted spontaneous business exchange in market among different groups of people. In section I, by doing a brief literature review on E. A. Wrigley, D. R. Ringrose and other important authors, we may have a basic understanding of the demand and supply market mechanism and its relationship with population, internal market and functions of capitals. In section II, we will analyze how the functions of capital, such as exercising political power to satisfy a particular interest, can affect the demand and supply of market and demographic composition. In section III, we study further how the functions of capital such as price determination can change the economic development of the capital itself and its surrounding industrial and agricultural areas. At the end, we should see that London did a better job integrating the urban-rural market during 1650-1750. Literature Review From 1650 to 1750, London grew much faster than other continental capital cities. There is little debate on the time as shown in table 1 and 2 below. Although the figures...

...Objective and Scope: 2. Introduction: Definitions: In order to assist understanding of this project scope and the resulting analysis, it is useful to define some terms: Tariff refers to a pricing option or pricing plan that includes a valid combination or set of pricing components. Price is cost/value per unit or item. Prices are usually fixed per time period (eg Rs/year, Rs/kW/year2 or Rs/day) or variable per quantity of electricity used (eg Rs/kWh, Rs/kW/year or Rs/kVA/year). Chargeable quantity is the number of units or items. Charge is the price multiplied by the chargeable quantity. Aggregate Revenue Requirement is the Revenue requirement of the Licensee for recovery of allowable expenses and return on capital, through tariffs, pertaining to his Licensed Business. 3. Costing The goal of the MERC regulations is to to regulate tariffs of power generation, transmission and distribution and to protect the interests of the consumers and other stakeholders. While MERC has designed regulations to handle tariffs for any kind of utility service, the focus here is on electricity distribution utilities within India. 4.2 What exactly is a Tariff? Rather than a list of prices, a tariff should be thought of as an algorithm that generates a customer's bill from information about their energy use. Given the necessary input data and the bill calculation algorithm, a variety of prices can be defined as needed. The key thing to remember is...
