Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been bothering many people for many years. Each country wants to get the best of the situation and does not want to give way another one. Many years have passed from the beginning of the conflict, a lot of wars have been held and the negotiations conducted, still, neither Israel nor Palestine wants to compromise (Judge and Langdon 869). Nevertheless, it does not mean that the solution does not exist. A lot of programs and initiatives have been developed which are aimed at settling the conflict. Having conducted a research, having reviewed those initiatives and programs, we have created a plan which should reflect the main steps each of the sides should make in order to arrange peace.  1. The commission should be created which should follow the lawful leading of the negotiations between Israel and Palestine (Bassiouni and Ben-Ami 177).  2. The initiative directed at the elimination of terrorism in the region should be created. It is important to cut off both group and individual assistance of terrorism in the countries (Golan 224).  3. Two states should be recognized Israel (with Jewish character) and Palestine (with non-Jewish character). It is important to negotiate the status and the constitutional rights of each country to declare the independence and territory inviolableness.  4. Considering the territory problems, it is important to understand that for many years, the Israel settlements have been created. According to the current situation, these settlements are located on the territory of Palestine and they create a number of problems. The “dunam-for-dunam land exchange” (Burston n.p.) should be held. Thus, Israel should give Palestine the land which corresponds to the area of the settlements.  5. The regulations should be settled about carrying weapon in both countries, especially in Israel. Such actions may help the battle with the terrorism and faster solving of the problem.  6. Jerusalem is a milestone for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This city should become a shared one. In other words, Palestinians should be allowed an official presence in the city. Moreover, to guarantee the lawful behavior from both countries, the Palestinian-Israeli police should be present.  7. The embassies should be established in the two states to make sure that the further conflicts are solved with the help of the law and negotiations.  8. The wall should be broken. This will help to normalize the relatio
Victorian literature referred to the literature written during the reign of Queen Victoria of England (Baugh 1967). This was from 1837-1901. This type of literature mainly focused on strict social, political, and sexual conservatism of the time. During this period, England experienced a series of changes and upheavals unseen before in the earlier eras. Every institution was undergoing an unpredictable change that swept throughout England. There were improvements in steam engine technology, which resulted in greater factory production (Fletcher, 1987). The economies of Europe were growing at an accelerated rate, and, as a result, there was the creation of large amounts of wealth (Fletcher, 1987). However, this newly created wealth could only benefit the “middle class.” The sacred and indisputable truth propagated by the church was seriously challenged by scientific advancement. It was at this period that Charles Darwin came up with his theory of natural selection, where life got reduced to a bloody struggle for one to survive. Furthermore, the new market economy, which favored industrial development discouraged agriculture and, as a result, large numbers of farmers and peasants lost their livelihoods and had to move to the cities in search of employment. This resulted in congestion in towns and cities and saw them coming up of slums and shantytowns, where the majority of the working class lived (Maidment 1987). These rapid changes appeared as a source of hope and optimism by other writers, but many of the literary writers of that period were against this and spoke out in opposition to the unfair treatment of the masses. One of the most prominent traits of Victorian poetry was that most poems portrayed the themes of isolation, alienation, and the distinction between love and life. The poem ‘Ulysses’ by Tennyson is a monologue which reflects on his isolation and hunger to explore the world. His poem talks about a range of issues from political to historical and even scientific matters. Another feature of Victorian poetry was that most of the literary writings had a moral purpose. The poems intended to oppose and speak against the unfair social and political systems in England during the Victorian era. Through his poems, Tennyson tackled issues that were of social and political concern to the Victorian society. He gave voice to the poor and reforms on the society in which he lived. His university life exposed him to the policies faced by the masses and he became part of the most important issue in the Victorian society at that time, namely enactment of parliamentary reform. Another important characteristic of the Victorian poetry was that it was highly idealistic and tackled issues of truth, love and justice. Many of the poems of this era dealt with problems like women repression in the society and corruption by those in authority. The poem “Goblin Market” by Christina Rosetta reflects the role of women in the society and especially their role in building the economy. In the poe
Our project will focus on scheduling and forecasting. Consequently, the Dubai Islamic Bank will be used as the basis for this study. The operations management exercise will focus on one aspect of scheduling and forecasting namely teller scheduling. On the other hand, forecasting for Dubai Islamic Bank will take into account long, short, and medium term factors. Teller Scheduling Sequencing Jobs In the course of their operations, Dubai Islamic Bank tellers utilize the ‘first come, first served’ approach of customer service. In addition, the bank tellers carry out six distinct jobs that include:  1. Providing high levels of customer service through the bank teller functions and making sure that all bank functions are efficient through the handling process.  2. Counting the money that is given to and received from customers and ensuring that all notes and denominations are accurately represented.  3. Tellers are also expected to conduct an accurate reconciliation of cash balances in the course of banking activities. At the end of every banking session, it is the responsibility of bank tellers to ensure that all cash balances are reconciled.  4. Being responsible for guiding customers when they are seeking safekeeping of both assets and highly valuable items. For instance, the customers should be able to access their safe deposit boxes at all times.  5. Acting as custodians in the approval of banking transactions that are beyond the normal limits.  6. Ensuring that other bank departments are able to maintain a viable cash balance at all times. For inst
One of the most notable aspects of post-industrial modernity is that, as of today, the pace of the ongoing technological progress attained a clearly defined exponential momentum, which in turn challenges the validity of people’s conventional outlooks on what the notions of ‘privacy’ and ‘journalism’ stand for. The soundness of this suggestion can be illustrated, in regards to the fact that it now became possible for private citizens to be in the position to take aerial shots/videos of the important events in the making (newsgathering), as well as to spy on others (surveillance). The development in question has been brought about by the recent breakthroughs in the field of avionics technology, which dramatically increased the affordability of the so-called ‘unmanned aerial vehicles’ (UAVs), or as they are informally referred to – drones. The term in question applies to the autonomously flown aircraft, as well as to those that fly in the remotely controlled mode. However, the newly emerged newsgathering/surveillance opportunities, in this respect, appear to stir much of a public controversy – the direct consequence of the fact that the practice of drone-based newsgathering can be defined; as such that violates the provisions of the U.S. Constitution’s Fourth Amendment. As Schlag (2013) aptly pointed out, “Under the Fourth Amendment, Americans are guaranteed a certain degree of privacy through the right ‘to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effect against unreasonable searches and seizures’” (p. 12). At the same time, forbidding citizens to use drones, as the mean of gathering and publicizing information of a social significance, would clearly transgress the Constitution’s First Amendment, concerned with protecting freedom of speech, as the fundamental principle of how American society functions. Therefore, it does not come as a particular surprise that during the course of recent years, there have been published a number of analytical articles that discuss the pros and cons of legitimizing the concerned practice from a variety of different perspectives. Among the main advantages of using drones to gather information is being usually mentioned the sheer cost-effectiveness of the practice in question. According to Holton, Lawson and Love (2015), “Even the most effective UAVs available for journalistic purposes cost less than $1000 and can be operated at a fraction of the cost of their heavier and less reliable helicopter counterparts” (p. 638). The advocates of drone-based newsgathering also point out to the fact that drones allow the types of live news-coverage that used to be considered impossible earlier (such as providing people with the aerial glimpse of a natural disaster in making, for example). After all, due to being unmanned, drones can be flown even under the circumstances that most pilots would have found intolerable, “Drones… allow journalists access to places that are dangerous or unreachable, and they provide an aerial view that captures images in ways that photographs taken from the ground cannot” (McIntyre, 2015, p. 160). Finally, there is a good rationale in believing that drones can help the law
End the Fed written by Ron Paul who is Congressman from Texas published in 2009 is a book about the inefficiencies and ineffectiveness of the Federal Reserve Bank (Fed) in the US. This essay is a chapter wise summary of the book. Chapter 1, “Why You Should Care”, asserts that the Fed’s policies were the key to the economic recession of the US. The chapter asks the question “What is the Fed and what does it do?” Paul states that all popular references of Fed viz. Books, journals, websites, etc. will show how Fed has helped in stabilizing the economy and business cycle, control inflation, etc. However, clearly Paul disagrees to it. He states that he agrees to one point asserted by this popular information medium on Fed that Fed can make money almost out of thin air using its unique power to print money, use open market operations, or change reserve ratio to increase or decrease the supply of money into the economy. He argues that the US government intends to go back to the days of economic prosperity, which Paul believes is nothing but a mirage created by the Fed. He exemplifies it’s by the Fed’s stance of reducing the interest rate to near zero level and pumping in money in the economy without showing any solid step to solve the core issue. Thus, he explains why he has written this book – End the Fed . He intends to demonstrate the system of domination of the Fed and the reason for supporting its closure. Then he goes on to present a historical overview of how there has been political as well as social movement in the US to end the Fed and other notable figures like Nobel Laureate F.A. Hayek. Paul begins chapter 2, “Origin of the Fed”, by showing that we see the composed and always in control picture of the Fed but are often unaware of what goes on inside it. This chapter describes the inside story. He states that the “public relation game” played by the chairman of the Fed shows that they are an essential part of our system. He explains the historic background of the power and centralization of the banking system historically. He puts forth arguments made by other economists like Jesús Huerta de Soto to demonstrate the historical support for his argument that instability is the problem of the operations of the central banking system. He goes on to state that the Keynesian concept of free-market banking system is nothing but an illusory concept to keep the customers happy. Thus, he claims that Fed has been established on the principles of public and private enterprise and has been given more freedom than he deserves. Chapter 3 provides a personal history of Paul, which is titles “My Intellectual Influences”. Here he states the 1970s policy of Nixon to end gold reserve for dollar has been a great influence on him. Thus, Paul asserts the need to move towards a sound monetary system. This chapter provides the theoretical background of his personal belief and economic ideas. This chapter contains sections with non fictitious people and events, which has led to the formation of the present fiat money system. I
Sean Cadigan describes the artisans as a political and economic fraternity of labor aristocrats and petite bourgeoisie struggling against the interest of the great merchants in staple trade. He also describes them as those capable of becoming other than workers, industrialists, or petty producers locked into conflict with staple merchants. In his thesis, he is right in the way he describes or defines the merchants because from his article we can see the artisans constantly locked in a tussle or in a battle of supremacy with the merchants over control of trade. This can be seen when he talks about the building of the Anglican Church in which John Sawer, an artisan, is blamed by the merchants for underestimating the building expense. Governor Waldegrave on the other hand blames the merchants for their over-pricing of the building materials. This highlights the conflict between the merchants and the artisans in their quest for actualization and Sean’s definition of the artisans best captures this. In this discussion, the author talks about the rise of the artisans, their struggle to make ends meet and to succeed in their trade. The artisan’s labor under economic disparities comes from the way in which fishery dominated the economy. They employed most of the labor force leaving little for the artisans. He also mentions the high pricing of goods and raw materials by merchants as problems that affected the artisans which is definitely an economic truth. The increase in economic activities and administration, the increased growth in population not forgetting the Napoleonic war which generated demand for artisans and the need to increase buildings are some of the factors he mentioned as having contributed to the growth of the artisans. This is definitely a true fact considering the town and its opportunities. Sean Cadigan’s discussion of artisans in a town is very detailed and idea-based whilst informative and well researched. For example, is when he talks about the problems faced by the artisans he gives evidence of these problems. For instance, when he talks about economic problems facing the artisans like homeownership, he depicts how few artisans owned homes and he gives a number that is 139 out of 591 households in the town. This coupled with other evidence like the court cases he mentions that faced the artisans clearly gives evidence or clearly describes the lives of the artisans. It will be untrue or unrealistic to conclude or surmise that all of Cadigan’s evidence is tangible or factual. Some are clearly speculative thus undermining the credibility of this thesis. For instance, he says that “Little evidence exists to allow an assessment of the place of the place of the artisans within the social and economic structure of St.Johns although artisa
Introduction Created by Federal Law No. (4) of 2000, Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA) of the UAE is a governmental body that provides the legislative regulations and instructions meant for the protection and development of investment, improvement of the UAE markets’ efficiency, promotion of sound relevant practices, and improvement of legal awareness (“About SCA” par. 1-4; “Vision, Mission and Values” par. 2). Apart from that, the Authority performs licensing and supervision and provides support and organizational services. SCA is of supreme importance for the financial activities in the UAE. Financial Disclosure Transparency is one of the fundamental values of SCA (“Vision, Mission and Values” par. 5). “Decision No. (3R) of 2001″ demands the timely disclosure of necessary financial information as a mandatory condition of market functioning (4). The most recent update on the disclosure policy that was provided by the Authority is contained in the “The Authority’s Board of Directors’ Decision No (16) of 2014” (1). Auditing Practices SCA licenses auditors and provides rules and instructions for their practices. All the requirements and procedures for the licensing of various kinds of financial consultancy and auditing services are presented on the website of the Authority. Apart from competence and qualifications, SCA demands that the applicants have a good reputation (have never committed a crime against honor) and requires that they are full-timers, although this condition may apply to the manager or CEO of a company (“Licensing of Financial Consultation and Financial Analysis” par. 16-18). SCA has issued a number of regulations meant for auditing practices. The most recent one (“Board of Directors’ Decision No. (25) of 2015″) updated the requirements and procedures for the registration of “Auditors of Public Shareholding Companies and Mutual Funds” (1-9). The “Ministerial Resolution No. (518) of 2009″ created by the Minister of Economy and the Authority states the rules and regulations for the creation and functioning of Audit Committees and the nomination of External Auditor as well as defining the scope of their activities (13-17). For example, Audit Committees must consist of at least three members, and at least one of them is supposed to be an expert in finance and accounting. The majority of them is supposed to be Independent Board Members. In a similar manner, all the possible aspects of auditing are regulated by relevant instructions. Financial Market The development and regulation of the UAE financial market are the primary mission and goals of SCA (“Vision, Mission and Values” par. 2). Dubai Financial Market and Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange are supervised by this governmental body (Paltrinieri 369). According to the Authority, it regulates the “markets for trading in securities and commodities [that] have been set up in the UAE” (“About SCA” par. 3). SCA states that all the markets must be SCA-licensed local public establishments; apart from that, they are all supposed to
Introduction Health service organizations are corporations which are established to carry out health service operations; for people in different regions. These organizations are large in size, and may even cover more than one country; making their operations world wide. Most of the health organizations are non governmental and non profit oriented; and that service delivery oriented. Based on this aspect, most health organizations are funded by business organizations and other large wealthy organizations; as well as by various governments in the form of donations or grants. An example of a health organization is the St. John’s Ambulance, which operates in different countries. In this health organization, various aspects have been investigated to determine how they operate and how their operations are influenced by various factors world wide (Richmond & Fein, 2003). Key players in St. John’ Ambulance The key players at St. John’s Ambulance are the medical officers, who are involved in various health provision activities; who deal with the clients directly. According to the human resource manager of this health organization, it was clearly revealed that clinical officers in this organization are the most crucial people in ensuring that the company meets both its internal and external objectives. Based on this it should also be noted that, the other contributors in the organization are still equally important as they determine the success and the achievement of the general laid goals and objectives. Among these other key players forming this organization include, the clients, donors and drivers among others. As it was learnt, there is a very strong correlation between the clinical heath officers in this organization; and the other supporters within this organization (Richmond & Fein, 2003). Donors for both financial and medical resources are of a crucial importance as without them, the clinical officers would find it difficult to render health services in the organization. At St. John’s Ambulance, most health kits and medical resources are usually donated by the coca cola company. It was therefore noted that Coca Cola Company played a crucial role in ensuring that the company had enough medical resources; which would then be used by the clinical officers to offer medical services effectively (H R M, St. John’s Ambulance). Coordination of activities at St. John’s ambulance St. John’s Ambulance is one of those health organizations whose activities are well coordinated, ensuring efficiency in the offering of its services. As it was learnt fro
