...Perspective 1: "CSR is a waste of shareholder resources." 1. It is hard for companies to communicate their efforts in CSR to shareholders and investors. Although companies have progressed from only 20% of public companies publishing CSR reports to 72% from 2011 to 2013, there are still no universal standards established for reporting CSR information. Therefore, even the best CSR efforts can lose their value simply because the efforts are not communicated to users of financial statements. This is also in part due to CSR efforts being ill-defined. While some CSR ideas are universal many of the aspects of CSR are industry specific and hard to translate into meaningful disclosures for interested parties. 2. Many CSR projects are hard to project the actual effects and profitability of. This is because it is hard to project certain things such as the cost of energy such as in the case with some of the CSR projects proposed to Sierra Nevada. This has led to many companies putting a bare minimum amount of investment into CSR projects – it simply isn’t as important as other factors that affect shareholder value. Instead of being aggressive in their CSR efforts, they simply respond to CSR issues that arise. As Vogel states in the CFO Magazine article, “it will always remain…marginal and secondary… [unless] articles about companies in the mainstream business press would regularly or even occasionally mention some aspect of CSR in terms of… understanding a company’s past or future...

...What is cyber bullying? Bullying has always been a huge issue within and outside the school, but due to the advances in technology bullying has been taken to a whole other level. Nowadays bullies can reach almost anywhere they want and can also target almost anyone, this is the result of exposing children of early ages to the internet, and as the use of cell phones and social media gets more popular in children’s daily lives they become more susceptible to cyberbullying. By definition cyber bullying means the use of electronic communication to bully a person, typically by sending messages of an intimidating or threatening nature, but in reality its way more problematic then that, according to How is it controversial? Cyber bulling can easily...

...1. Introduction Transfer Pricing is becoming highly important as soon as a multicorporate enterprise or business is structured across borders. Transfer Pricing deals with structuring international transfer prices within a multicorporate enterprise or business, in particular the evaluation of tangible and intangible assets be-tween business entities within the same multicorporate organisation or, more specifically, the price one segment (subunit, department, division and so on) of one organisation charges for a product or service supplied to an-other segment of the same organisation. Every multicorporate enterprise or business aims at minimising its tax obligations in order to maximise its overall profits. In principal, multicorporate businesses have to pay tax in their respective host countries, based on the share of their profit which arises in (or is allotted to) the respective business in such host country. These host countries can be different in various respects e.g. tax systems, customs duties, currency exchange rates, legislation and so forth. As a result, Transfer Pricing also affects revenue and customs authorities, investors, creditors and alike. The obligation to comply with national and international tax regulations regularly conflicts with the goal of a tax-efficient allocation of profits within a multi-national entities on the one hand and the respective tax legislation which is primarily nationally-focused on the other hand. Thus, an anticipatory business...

...the omnipotent creator of man’s first breath Who will decide, who forever will be….. The audience for the fight of the ages was assembled and in place. The angels came in splendor from a star. The saints that had gone before were there, Jeremiah, Enoch, Job. They were singing the song of Zion on David’s harp. The demons arived, offensive and vile, cursing and blaspheming God Followed by their trophies dead and gone. Hitler, Napoleon, Pharoh, Capone, tormented, vexed, and grieved And waiting for their judgment from the throne. Then a chill swept through the mammoth crowd And the demons squealed with glee As a sorid, vulgar, repulsive essence was felt. Arrogantly prancing, hands held high, draped in a sparkling shroud, Trolled by demons, Satan ascended from Hell. Then Satan cringed, the sinners groaned, the demons reeled in pain As as swell of power like silent thunder rolled. With a surge of light beyond intense illuminating the universe, In resplendent glory appeared the Son of God. Then a persona, yes, extraordinaire appeared in center ring. God the Father will oversee the duel. Opening the Book of Life, each grand stand hushed in awe As majestically he said, “Now, here’s the rules: He’ll be wounded for their transgressions, bruised for iniquities.” When he said, “By His stripes they’re healed,” the devil shook. He said, “Sickness is my specialty – I hate that healing junk.” God said, “You shut your face – I wrote the book.” Then the Father...

...The Internet and social networking sites are both wonderful and educational resources, and for vulnerable trans people these online communities are a source of support and understanding. The reality is however they also contain hateful and damaging websites full of propaganda surrounding trans people, and legitimate trans community-based sites are often "trolled" by online bullies. Mainstream television is yet to get on board when it comes to transgender characters, with the majority of series being shown only on streaming sites such as Netflix or Showtime. Another perceived failing centres around the values of oppression and minority, and the notion that biology is not destiny - something that both trans activists and feminists should share as natural allies, however there are some feminists who actively fight against the inclusion of trans people in antipatriarchal and LGBT politics (Penny...

...heels and killer hairdos to be rightful weapons in our arsenal, as efficient, in their own way, as spears and batons. But ‘innovative’ feminists are unwavering to suck the fun from life and illuminate how dreadful it is to be a woman in the UK. Another obstacle girls quail at is trolling on the Internet. So let’s say you copped threats from some neurotic loser who disagrees with something you’ve said. Should you call the police? Abandon Facebook? Or perhaps relish the insults, in the manner of Margaret Thatcher, who said: ‘I always cheer up immensely if an attack is particularly wounding. It means they have not a single argument left.’ Instead, you could remain resistant to insult entirely, like Rock goddess Chrissie Hynde, who feminists trolled two years ago after admitting that she suffered a sex attack when she was 21 and ‘took full responsibility’ for it. Twitter lit up with the distasteful phenomenon of hundreds of women pounced on her for stating her honest opinion; until even the Guardian’s Julie Bindel had to state the obvious that Hynde herself was ‘not a rapist’. But when it comes to sex, feminists are unduly squeamish, so much so that one shy male, Samuel Fishwick, assembled a manual to romance in the era of equality. Approaching the Vagenda Blog for help, he was bluntly informed that a man must never ask a woman to meet him for a drink at a location near his humble abode: ‘It makes women think you’re going to turn their skin into a lampshade.’ Does it, though? Or are...

...Are Social Networking Sites Good for Our Society? 6/1/2012 | Are Social Networking sites good for our society? Abstract This analysis examines how people today use social networking for more than just staying in touch with friends and family. The data that was collected for this report was through multiple methods, such as surveys, online reading, and personal interviews. The data in this report represents how people start out using social networks just to keep in touch with friends and family only to realize that there are others out there that are using it for something more. Through research I have found that what starts out as something so innocent for most of us there are those out there that use it for personal gain and illegal activities. Introduction: What influences a person’s desires to start using social networking sites? Since the beginning people have believed that social networking was the best way to stay in touch with those you care about. While that may be true for most people it has become increasing obvious that it is not that way for some others. Nowadays people think that it’s okay to share what you are doing on a minute, hourly, or even a daily basis. Depending on who your “friends” are that can be just fine, but what happens when you share too much and with the wrong people? Are your “friends” the only one that can see what you’re sharing? How much of your personal information is available through these sites? Social networking...

...browser to go to an unintended/unwanted/ unknown/undesired web page) a person’s web browser to a webpage that is (phony and) malicious in nature, seeking only to execute commands that are for clandestine purposes. The typical outcome involves installation of some form of malware (keylogger, virus, trojan, browser hijacker, remote access backdoor, network and password sniffer, data extractor, ransom hijacker, and so much more) on the user’s computer (keeping in mind the user clicked on the link). In this case, it is likely that a remote access Trojan with keylogger capabilities at minimum, with possible network sniffing capabilities, was installed that captured the keystrokes of the user, thus obtaining user name and password, but also trolled through network activity to obtain potential accounts (username and password) that would have higher level administrative permissions in case this particular user did not have such robust access. Simply stated, the user was a victim of a social engineering attack whereby the user clicks on a compromised (as in malicious in nature) link that can cause serious network, data and information security intrusion to the entire organization, and not just that particular computer, for the remote access and data trolling...

...Trolling through Twitter hashtags Andrei Coste Context Internet Trolling has been around ever since there were means that users could communicate with each other over web protocols. It’s deeply rooted in the internet culture and is often considered to be a form of bullying (cyberbullying). The website Know Your Meme says that “the contemporary use of the term is alleged to have appeared on the Internet in the late 1980s, but the earliest known mention of the word “troll” on record can be found in a post on the Usenet newsgroup alt.folklore.urban from December 14th, 1992. The term continued to grow popular in the early 1990s through its usage in the Usenet group alt.folklore.urban and by the late 1990s, the alt.folklore.urban newsgroup had such heavy traffic and participation that acts of trolling became frowned upon. Prior to the widespread use of the term “trolling,” similar behaviors have been observed through “griefing,” the act of intentionally causing distress to other players in an online game, since the days of Multi-User Dungeons (MUDs) in the late 1980s and “flaming,” the act of instigating hostility or unpleasant exchanges in online forums, which also emerged through Usenet newsgroup discussions”. They also state that In the late 1980s, Internet users adopted the word “troll” to denote someone who intentionally disrupts online communities. Early trolling was relatively innocuous, taking place inside of small, single-topic Usenet groups. The trolls employed what...

...I was accused recently of believing things I don't believe about women as programmers and startup founders. So I thought I'd explain what I actually do believe. Some accused me of being sexist—of being biased against female founders. To anyone who knows Y Combinator that would seem a pretty implausible claim. It's hard to argue I'm biased against female founders when I have a female cofounder myself. And with 3 female partners out of 12, YC has slightly over 3x the venture industry average. While 3 out of 12 is not 50-50, it would be very hard to find another firm of our size in the venture business where women run the show to the degree they do at YC. I may be the public face of the company, but it's impossible to imagine YC doing something that Jessica, Kirsty, and Carolynn were against. More thoughtful people were willing to concede YC wasn't biased against women, but thought we should be actively working to increase the number of female founders. As one put it, instead of being a gatekeeper, we should be a gateway. But that is exactly what Y Combinator is. The people who caricature us as being only interested in funding young hotshots forget that when we started, in 2005, young founders were not a privileged group but a marginalized one. VCs didn't want to fund them, and when they did they often as not tried to replace them with "adult supervision." The fact that young founders seem a privileged group now is partly due to our efforts. We attacked the problem not by...

...Eddie Bjarko Apush Chapter 13 November 23rd, 2014 Expansion War and Sectional Crisis What ideas did the term Manifest Digest reflect? Did it cause historical events such as the new political supports for territorial expansion, or was it merely a description of events? * In 1845, John L. O’Sullivan coined the phrase Manifest Destiny; he felt that Americans had a right to develop the entire continent as they saw fit, which implied a sense of cultural and racial superiority. It was an idea that American settlers were destined to expand throughout the continent. This led to “Oregon fever” The Oregon country stretched along the Pacific coast from the border with Mexican California to the border with Russian Alaska and was claimed by both Great Britain and the United States. “Oregon fever” raged in 1843 as thousands, lured by reports of fine harbors, mild climate, and fertile soil, journeyed for months across the continent to the Willamette Valley. 250,000 Americans had braved the Oregon Trail by 1860; many died en route from disease and exposure, although relatively few died from Indian attacks. Some of those pioneers veered off and went down to California, namely Sacramento River. To promote California’s development, the Mexican government took over the California missions and liberated the 20,000 Indians who worked on them, many of whom intermarried with mestizos and worked as laborers and cowboys on large cattle ranches. The rise of cattle ranching created a new society...

...nasty troll asked. "I discovered the opening," the other one shouted as he plopped down and slurped up a bunch of the murky river water. "How'd you do that?" he asked. "I was walking through the woods one day and I spotted him and watched and noticed that right before he disappeared he was thinking about something. So I tried thinking about him and presto, there I was in his yard," he hissed and smiled hideously. "That's astounding --" the other one moaned. "I crawled into the tree and was back in our world and I went straight to Gordok and told him all about it. He insisted that I grab you and that we both go back through and snatch up the boy," he snapped. "What does he want with that scrawny bit of human flesh anyway?" the other trolled roared over the swishing of the river water. "Beats me!" he shrugged. "I thought he wanted him dead?" the ugly troll snarled. "Yeah, yeah, he did. Then he changed his mind. He said something about his pure heart." "Too bad I would've loved to watch him die!" he said snickering. "Yeah me too ..." the other one sighed. "Pure heart?" the wicked troll repeated, "what's that?" "Who knows? I'm hungry!" "I'm starved!" the other troll agreed, his red eyes glinting like garnets. I sat in a daze against the tree. Watching them and listening to their conversation. And then suddenly my foggy confusion lightened. I stretched, yawned, and felt drowsy like I was just waking up from a dream. I turned slightly and caught the two awful trolls...
