...On April 9, 1865, the Civil War officially ended with both the North and South in debt, and with most of the South in ruins. The condition of the South was in a poorer condition than the North, attributable to the fact that the South was agrarian-base, most battles took place on their soil, and the North used total war in order to completely destroy the South. As a result of the post-Civil War condition of the United States, the Reconstruction became necessary to patch the country up and reunite the nation as one again. However, because of the death of Abraham Lincoln, the Reconstruction had only few successes with considerable failures. In the Reconstruction, there were only a few parts and aspects that were successful. For one, the Reconstruction...

David Cameron in the manifesto said that they would increase the personal allowance for income tax to help lower and middle income earners. A series of increases from 2014 to 2015 in the tax-free personal allowance to £10,000 means that ver 26 million people , the vast majority of working people will have benefited from the personal allowance increases over the past 4 years. This year’s rise means that the typical taxpayer is now paying £705 less income tax than they were in 2010. On the same topic of taxation the coalition have actually frozen council tax prices for the second year running, this has achieved a total funding package of £5 billion. Freezes since 2010 mean a saving of up to £1,075 for an average household over the course of this Parliament. In terms of medical issues the coalition granted better access to cancer drugs. They introduced a £200 million per year Cancer Drugs Fund which has already given over 5,000 patients access to the life-extending cancer drugs they need, this issue is controversial as Labour’s First Minister in Wales has called the fund ‘political’ and ruled out any introduction in Wales this leaves some Welsh cancer patients and their families suffering.

...There are many technology companies in the world today, all are fighting to be innovative and gain market-share. Each company has successes and failures, one such company, Apple, has risen above most others. Apple has had many successes and failures, many of its success have related directly back to its culture and have driven technological innovation. Three of Apple’s biggest successes are the iPod, iTunes, and iPhone. Introduced in 2001 the iPod offered consumers and easy interface to house up to 1000 “on the go” songs. For Apple, the iPod offered a monopoly type product with high margins. The iTunes application also rolled out in 2001 and offered users and easy interface to search and download music and movies.

Product Development was in control...

...Commonalities and Success Commonalities and Successes Human service organizations are unique from other general businesses. Yes, they both provide services to others, but what makes Human Service agencies different is that they offer help with social development for an individual. Human service organizations provide resources such as therapy, counseling, education and training. Human service programs provide direct and indirect services for people who need help for their well-being. Central Focus of all Human Service Programs In Human Service programs individuals can find that their central focus of an agency focuses on seven categories, planning, designing, developing human resources, supervising, managing finances, monitoring and evaluating. These seven are the major components that are followed. Planning is the development of a strategy with goals for the client in need. Designing is the component where a human service provider coordinates the plan and resources that will be necessary. Then there is developing human resources stage where the caseworker makes sure that the client has access to programs that will help their productivity in reaching their goals.

...Commonalities and Successes Paper Glenta Glass BSHS 425 May 4, 2015 Jennifer Hance Commonalities and Successes Paper Human service organizations vary in the nature of the populations they serve, the methods they use, and the exact services they provide; however, these groups share the same common goal, values, and purpose. The human service organizations strive to facilitate human development and to enhance the quality of life for their clients. The central focus is determined to be the well-being of the clients that are served and assisting them with satisfying their basic needs, concentration on prevention and resolutions for current and possible future problems. All of these areas help to bring about positive change in individual lives, families, and communities. Organizations are best defined as an organized body of people on a particular purpose regardless if it is in the business world or a human service field. The significant difference between the two is the concentration of purpose and the nature of the services the organization offers to the community. Human service organizations are unique in the manner in which they are designed to assist the public with a set of services such as, mental health, or child and family services. These organizations operate under the guidelines of a particular mission and other organizations such as schools, courts, jails, and hospitals have primary purposes other than providing human services but they do offer the provision of...

...Case Analysis 1: Apple Computer NETW583 – Strategic Management of Tech For this brief paper I have been asked to answer the following three questions about the company Apple Inc. : What were some of Apple's biggest successes and failures? How much of Apple's success can be linked directly back to its culture? How do the actions of Apple apply to the TCOs? The best way I can most effetely answer these questions is to start with the second question, How much of Apple's success can be linked directly back to its culture? I think that a Apples success can be significantly linked directly back to its culture. This question is easily supported by what happened when Apple hired John Sculley as their President and CEO in 1983 and pressured Steve Jobs to resign in 1985. During this period of time Sculley brought a corporate culture from Pepsi into Apple which was a significant change from what the company had been used to with Jobs leading the company. During the time that Sculley was at the realm Apple saw significant failures in which I will outline when answering the next question and he changed business models which adversely affected Apple to the extent that some say he almost drove Apple into the ground for good. After Jobs return in 1997 he immediately started driving the businesses culture in a completely different direction in which he focused on the experience his products gave the user and went on to inspire others in the company to be creative and come up with...

...Successes and Failures Of Water Privatization Is It Time to Throw the Baby Out With the Bath Water? Jill M. Prince EEMT-666 Major Individual Assignment Word Count: 2056 July 23, 2011 Rodney Beard EXECUTIVE SUMMARY As the world struggles to find solutions to water shortages and water pollution, an ever-greater number of people are stepping forward with proposed answers to the problems. Some efforts succeed and others fail, but in the face of it all, the human race must work diligently to be proactive rather than reactive. Water privatization has become a key driver in solving the water crisis around the world. Economists have convinced many that treating water as an economic resource rather than a human right is the only solution to the problem. After several decades of trial and error, it has been proven they may be correct, but unfortunately, in many cases, perceived Draconian behaviour by many stakeholders has caused considerable damage to privatization efforts. In many cases, the different stakeholders, have drawn lines in the sand and chosen sides. However, regardless of the seemingly altruistic positions of all the major players, it is time for everyone to take a step back and seriously examine not only what goes wrong in water privatization contracts, but also what goes right. If the human race in the 21st century is going to avoid the same fate as our predecessors in the Mayan culture and on Easter Island (Tietenberg and Lewis, 2010) we are going...

...How would you evaluate what are the potential successes of the Boeing 787 for the American aviation industry in the next five years? In particular, what data would you need? You may wish to focus on one aspect in particular (e.g., market share); however, you need to ensure your answer covers the wider issues too. Before we begin the analysis we must first understand the industry. If not a practitioner it would be reasonable to research by asking questions targeted at Industry leaders, friends in the business, etc. Locating and reading books, articles, and journals on the U.S. Airline industry’s rivals, consumer preferences, air carrier route dominance, threat of substitutes, and threat of new entrants into the market. Understanding the Boeing Company and its 787 Dreamliner would be next on the agenda, all done with the goal of becoming as fully informed as possible. In researching the Boeing Company, I would need to know their strengths and weaknesses. What other business ventures are they associated with, e.g., aerospace, defense, or exporter? I would also want to know the funding method for research and development (R&D). An over reliance on Internal Research and Development (IRAD) could cause stress on any planned modifications or on the normal manufacturing process itself. It would make sound financial sense to acquire funds from the requesting customer or investors prior to beginning any R&D efforts. Researching Boeing’s R&D funding methodology would be...

...The Benefits and Successes of Community Policing February 8, 2015 Community policing requires that approaches to serious crimes be done in creative and innovative ways to ensure that there is long-term improvement in terms of security. In community policing, all crimes are treated as serious social problems and are dealt with accordingly. This kind of policing is not concerned about eradicating crime. Furthermore, number of arrests or crime rates is not the measure of success (Kappeler & Gaines, p. 89). It is concerned about ensuring that society provides opportunities for people to engage in meaningful business. Community policing is a police strategy imposed to create a better relationship between the police and the community. Community policing is defined as “a collaborative effort between the police and the community that identifies problems of crime and disorder and involves all elements of the community in the search for solutions to these problems” (Lorain County Sheriff’s Office, 2009). Does community-based policing reach societies desired outcome and expectations? This is one of many questions that has been raised about the fairly new and controversial subject of community policing. But first, we must better understand exactly what community policing is. Community policing is a philosophy that rests on the belief that people deserve input into the police process, in exchange for their participation and support. It also rests on the belief that solutions...

...Synopsis Sam Walton the founder of Walmart passed away in 1992. He had founded Walmart Stores with the concept of discount stores in small towns and brought the concept to the lofty stature of the biggest retailer in the US and then the world. In 2001, Walmart knocked off ExxonMobil to become the world’s biggest firm in revenues, with sales of $217.8 billion to ExxonMobil’s $187.5 billion. Walmart continued an aggressive expansion worldwide but some of its effort were not very successful. More than 80% of its revenue came from Canada, Mexico, and the U.K. The ingredients of success of Walmart were the management style and employee orientation. Mr. Walton cultivated a management style that emphasized individual initiative and autonomy over close supervision. To controlling costs and always keep the sticker price down, the corporation uses the state-of-the-art technology in its warehouses and distribution centers. Their attempt to expand to the banking business has encountered opposition from the banking industry, unions and consumer groups. However, the pharmaceutical side was a blast of success. The $4 drug program has forced all competitors to cut down on their price too. They achieve quickly what the US governments have striven for decades to accomplish unsuccessfully. That is a significant benefit to consumers. Questions 1.a – I would have diverse my stocks by selling different brands and having all kinds of items available.
