...with one another. At this point in time, people were migrating to larger cities and Hammurabi suggested that these people were to be accepted and if anyone were to disregard the code, they would be dealt with accordingly with severe punishments including death. Draco’s Law: Draco created a law which more or less followed the guidelines of democracy. Under Draco’s law, the King had limited powers and could not pass additional laws as he saw fit. Instead the laws would have to be presented before a chosen body of governing officials for evaluation and they would decide from there if the laws were justified. Also a lot of the guidelines within the law were direction proportional to the code that Hammurabi had set forth. Law of the Twelve Tables: “Lex Duodecim Tabularum” (Latin) was the basis for Roman law and the Roman Constitution. The law primarily dealt with the general public or Rome. People were tied together in ethical bounds and they were granted several rights in regards to property and economic rights, similar to the foundation of the United States Constitution. Justinian Code: The Justinian Code was another form of guidance which was intended to be an addition to the Roman Constitution and codes that had been set forth in previous eras. Justinian I had made this addition primarily to deal with a larger, more circuitous population since many of the previous writings didn’t take into consideration a vast population. Also a lot of the Justinian Code was based off of...

...International Business & Economics Research Journal – January/February 2014 Volume 13, Number 1 The Monthly Barometer Of The Indian Stock Market Jayen B. Patel, Adelphi University, USA ABSTRACT The January Barometer or the Other January effect suggests that January returns can predict future performance of the stock market. In this study, it is examined if any particular calendar month return can effectively be used as a monthly barometer to accurately predict future direction of the Indian stock market. The results indicate none of the calendar month returns has consistent ability to accurately predict the performance of the Indian stock market over the next twelve months. The accuracy of prediction did not substantially improve whether the predictor month had generated positive or negative returns. The results continue to remain remarkably consistent when the predictability accuracy was analyzed over time by examining the effect separately over years. The findings of this study clearly demonstrate that the Indian stock market does not possess a monthly barometer that can accurately predict future direction of the stock market. Keywords: January Barometer; Indian Stock Market; Monthly Barometer; Other January Effect INTRODUCTION A number of researchers have recently reported an intriguing phenomenon in stock returns that they refer as the January Barometer or the other January effect. According to this effect, the January returns are the barometer of the stock...

Submitted to: Prof. Mary Easter Claire P. Torres November 17, 2014 I. Abstract This experiment looks at the simple reaction time of an individual. The experiment is used to measure a person’s reaction time during two situations (when the person is preoccupied or focused on a thing). The experiment was made out of an Experimenter and a Subject and it was partitioned into two parts. The subject is requested to do forty five trials in both section one and section two. Amid the first part, the subject is asked to do free association while assessing twelve seconds on his mind, without looking the timer. On the second piece of the experiment, the subject was again asked to perform forty five trials but for this time, there is no free association included and he is just focused on the timer. This experiment was carried out the other way around however the experimenter just performed 10 trials. II. Introduction The speed with which a response is made to a stimulus, is technically known as ‘Reaction Time’. It is the period between the onset of a stimulus and beginning of the responses. Reaction time being one of the classical experiments of any psychological laboratory has proved as a sensitive measure of the readiness of an organism to response to change in the environment. The amount...

...positions held. The two consuls would then only serve for a certain period of time, usually a year. They were the cores of power in the republic because they led the roman army, which was very dominant. Polybius summarizes the consul’s role by saying; “The Consuls, before leading out the legions, remain in Rome and are supreme masters of the administration. All other magistrates, except the Tribunes, are under them and take their orders.” (Polybius, 1). If the consuls were then occupied in battle, then a dictator or praetor would serve for a period of time, for a maximum of six months. But because the constant restrictions of the plebeians, the council of decemviri was put in place to create laws. This lead to the establishment of the Twelve Tables published around 450 B.C., which only extended the tension...

...American Criminal Court System Kabie Goss CJA/224 July 14, 2014 Samyra Hicks American Criminal Court System When thinking about the American Criminal Court System, there is a lot to think about. Most cases are not just opened and closed in one day like they are on television, and there are different courts to handle different situations. In this paper I will be describing what a court is and its purpose, as well as defining what the dual court system is. I will also describe the role that early codes, common law, and precedent played in the development of courts. Lastly, I will identify the role of the courts in criminal justice today. Court and its Purpose Merriam-Webster defines a court in three different ways, but they all seem to intertwine. The first definition is; “a formal legal meeting in which evidence about crimes, disagreements, etc., is presented to a judge and often a jury so that decisions can be made according to the law.” The second being, “a place where legal cases are heard.” The third definition states, “An official group of people (such as a judge and jury) who listen to evidence and make decisions about legal cases.” There are many different types of courts at the local, state, and federal level. Courts can hear both civil and criminal cases. The purpose of the court is to settle legal disputes whether civil or criminal, through a legal process, while protecting the rights and liberties of everyone involved, and to administer justice...

...Historical Laws and Security Jenelle Velarde May 7, 2014 When it comes to historical laws and security, I have found that we tend to have the same kind of laws that they did back in time. However they also maybe revised to meet today’s society. We will be talking about six different historical laws which are The Code of Hammurabi, Draco’s Law, and Law of the Twelve Tables, Justinian Code, Magna Carta, and Statute of Westminster. The Law Code of Hammurabi (1750 B.C.) created by King Hammurabi, which was discovered in 1901. Also the quote “an eye for an eye” symbolizes the Hammurabi code. Which consist with the crimes that we have that gets disobeyed such as: slavery, marriage, theft, debts and commerce. Second law that I would like to tell a little about would be Draco’s law. Draco’s Law (621 B.C.) was named by the Greek citizen who they chosen to write the laws for Athens. Which consist of the death penalty, when someone has stolen anything from someone or murder someone Draco’s Law was given. Law of the twelve tables (450 B.C.) includes ten laws, then two more added later on. Law of the twelve tables came from ten men that were from Roman was given the power to write the laws. Which help form public and private laws foundation? Along helping to organize the prosecution where the victims could seek justice on whatever the person on trial done to them. However the law didn’t allow interclass marriages, severe punished thieves and given fathers to have rights...

...THE SIXTH AND SEVENTH BOOKS OF MOSES; OR, MOSES' MAGICAL SPIRIT-ART KNOWN AS THE WONDERFUL ARTS OF THE WISE OLD HEBREWS, TAKEN FROM THE MOSAIC BOOKS OF THE CABALA AND THE TALMUD, FOR THE GOOD OF MANKIND. Translated from the German, Word for Word, according to Old Writings. WITH NUMEROUS ENGRAVINGS EGYPTIAN PUBLISHING CO. 609 STAR BUILDING 356 DEARBORN ST CHICAGO, ILL. Preface The first edition of this volume has been commended and criticized by the public. It was admitted to be a valuable compendium of the curiosities of literature generally, and especially of that pertaining to magic, but that it was at the same time calculated to foster superstition, and thereby promote evil -- a repitition of the charge made against the honorable HORST, the publisher of a magical library. In our enlightened age, the unprejudiced will observe in the publication of such a work, only what the author claims, namely, a contribution in reference to the aforesaid literature and culture of no trifling merit; but in regard to the believer also, the issue of a cheap edition will be more serviceable than the formerly expensive propductions on sorcery, which were only circulated in abstract forms and sold at extortionate rates. What other practical value the above named edition may possess is not the question. Let us not, therefore, underrate this branch of popular literature; the authors wrote in accordance with a system which was, or at least, seemed clear to them, and...

...A 3 X 2 X 2 between-subjects experimental design was carried out. The two manipulations were: (1) ad content: personal benefit and environmental benefit, and (2) brand familiarity: familiar brand and non-familiar brand. The stimuli were twelve advertisements that featured three product categories: bottled water, hybrid cars and toilet paper; and two real brands for each category: familiar and non-familiar. Table 2 summarizes their selection and combinations. The treatment condition ads were created as full-color print ads that included equal background and font size within the same product category, but the content of the copy emphasized the personal or environmental benefit with the presence of the familiar or non-familiar brand. The message of the personal or environmental benefit was exactly the same in either familiar or non-familiar brand. Print advertising was well-suited for the purposes of this research because it is considered as a medium frequently related to obtaining information about environmental issues by consumers (Lafferty and Edmondson, 2009; Iyer, Banerjee and Gulas, 1993). In addition, it was used in previous studies to assess green advertising...

...level judicial systems. A dual court system separates federal and state courts. According to the book a dual court system is advantageous and desirable because it is parallel to federalism. Federalism is a system of government where power is constitutionally divided between central governing body and various constituent units. In the United States, the federal government makes laws, but federalism also gives the states power to make their own laws(Siegel, Schmalleger, & Worral, 2011). Early legal codes also known as the Code of Hammurabi is known as the earliest example of formal written codes. The Early Codes were very harsh and stated basically, “eye for an eye”. Another formally codified legal principle is known as the Twelve Tables. The Twelve Tables were of Roman law, it was the...

...Historical Laws and Security Hope Washington CJS/250 02/21/2013 John Adams Historical Laws and Security In a brief description, here you will find the following laws in which they were originated. Civilizations throughout time have found it necessary to establish a set of laws dependent on their society's religious beliefs, social structure, setting, and other variables. Magna Carta (Latin for Great Charter, literally "Great Paper"), also called Magna Carta Libertatum (Great Charter of Freedoms), is an English legal charter, originally issued in the year 1215. It was written in Latin. Magna Carta required King John of England to proclaim certain rights (pertaining to nobles and barons), respect certain legal procedures, and accept that his will could be bound by the law. It explicitly protected certain rights of the King's subjects, whether free or fettered most notably the writ of habeas corpus, allowing appeal against unlawful imprisonment that led to the rule of constitutional law today in the English speaking world. The earliest legal system known in its entirety is the Code of Hammurabi which was established in ancient Babylonia nearly 4000 years ago. The Code of Hammurabi was compiled by King Hammurabi himself. Hammurabi was the most notable ruler of the first Babylonian dynasty, and unified Mesopotamia under one central government. Hammurabi's life is unknown, it is predicted that he established his reign around 1792-1750 B.C., thus dating the Code to approximately this...

Both white and African American women share similarities in their fear for rape, murder, being threatened with a knife, club, or gun.

...Court History and Purpose Paper Damon G Walton CJA/224 7-01-2013 Nolson Philippe Court History and Purpose Paper Court History and Purpose Paper The U.S. court system is an integral to our justice system which provides a legal framework to mete out justice. Courts is defined by the book as, “An agency or unit of the judicial branch of government, authorized or established by statute or constitution, and consisting of one or more judicial officers, which has authority to decide upon cases, controversies in law, and disputed matters of fact brought before it.” (Siegel, Schmalleger, & Worral, 2011). The purpose or the function of the courts can be narrowed down to four important things: 1. Courts are to uphold the law; 2. Protect individuals; 3.Resolve disputes; 4. reinforcing the social norms. Even though our court system is similar to the British system some of its aspects were borrowed from it is unique in the fact that it enshrines a basic tenet of being innocent until proven guilty. It allows for a person to have their “day in court’ and to face their accuser. However in the United States we have what is referred to as a dual court system. A dual court system can be defined as a judicial system comprising federal- and state- level judicial systems. A dual court system separates federal and state courts. According to the book a dual court system is advantageous and desirable because it is parallel to federalism. Federalism is a system of government where power is constitutionally...

The Romans are so the first to use Mechanical engineering and corn grinding by animals and the road that were built in Rome kept and made its empire so powerful. The third important that the Romans did to have a powerful empire would be its laws that included the 12 tables and was similar to the Greek law. The twelve tables were put up for the public to see and to follow them which contributed to the Roman Empire as an all-powerful civilization. This twelve laws were a variety of different laws. Some of this laws included “If anyone summon a man before a magistrate, he must go. If the man summoned does not go, let the summoning him call the bystander to witness and take him by force.” Another interesting law “If he shirks or runs away, let the summoner lay hand on him.” In table four the first law was if A dreadfully deformed child shall be quickly killed”. Also in table four was “If a father sell his son three times, the son shall be free from his father”. Another great that helped Rome become powerful is also in table four law number 4 “If one is mad but has no guardian, the power over him and his money shall belong to his agents and the member of his gens”.
