Remember; remember the cultural history of Guy Fawkes Day is a volume that was written by Sharpe James in 2005. The book which is 230 pages explores the 2005 anniversary of Fawkes gun powders plot as one of the most famous plots in world history. Even though the book is written colorfully, there are myriad implications worth noting. [1] For instance, the 1605 plot has a great resonance in today’s history in an era when there is religious fanaticism, terrorism, and ideological conflicts. The volume illustrates how on 5th November 1605, Fawkes was found under the cellars of parliament house guarding gun powder. Guys Fawkes is usually remembered for his tyranny act in the 1500s whereby hundreds of Roman Catholics were killed during Queen Elizabeth’s reign. It further examines how The Roman Catholics had great hopes that after the death of Queen Elizabeth, King James who took power would be more tolerant to the Roman Catholics. However, their hopes were not realized and as a result, a group of anarchists was formed. The groups came up with the gunpowder plot to put an end to the violence that was meted against Roman Catholics. In the process, they wanted to eliminate king James 1 and parliament. The set date was November 5th but part of the group felt that the explosion would result in innocent people being injured including parliament members who were not against the Catholics. Hence, a member of the group wrote to a friend to warn him of the impending plan and thus the plot was exposed. Finally, the book illustrates how on the same night, a search party found Fawkes guarding the gun powder. He was then arrested and charged with treason and presently, guy Fawkes is one of the most notorious historical figures in the world.[2] The book was published in 1987. It introduces English-speaking readers to the theories of Kung”s works on the future of Christology by tackling issues such as deism and theism. The author discusses an existing duality in the religious lives of people. According to Hans Kung, grassroots Christianity and the Christian denomination of the believers have pietism. On the other hand, government officials and politicians’ religions are all about deism flavor. The book gives an illustration of how individuals rationally talk about the blessings of God without necessarily mentioning the name of Jesus Christ or salvation or sin. According to the works of Hans Kung, these individuals merely practice experiential religion not only in their churches but also in their private lives.[3] “Inventing the sacred: imposture, inquisition, and the boundaries of the supernatural in golden age Spain” was written by Andrew Keitt and published by Brill in 2005. The book examines the issue of Seventeenth-century rationalism (1600-1699). The author explores the inquisition of Spanish to individuals who are self-proclaimed, miracle-working, and holy.[4] The 229 pages book
Terms like police misconduct and corruption are used to describe the situation when police officers abuse their authority, driven by greed, desire for personal gain, ignorance, prejudice, and malicious intent. These terms are often used interchangeably. They refer to a large number of violations of procedural, criminal, and civil nature. The word “Misconduct” is used to describe the broadest category of police violations. Common examples of misconduct are (Police corruption and misconduct, 2016):   * Excessive use of physical or deadly force when handling or apprehending a suspect.   * Discriminatory arrest based on race, gender, age, and social group.   * Harassment, whether of physical or verbal nature   * Selective enforcement of the law based on personal preferences and prejudices.   * Police brutality   * False arrest and detention   * Malicious prosecution   * Wrongful death Police corruption, on the other hand, refers only to crimes and abuse committed by the officers with the intention of personal gain. The most common examples of police corruption are bribery, extortion, purchasing and selling stolen goods and illegal merchandise, and drug dealing (Police corruption and misconduct, 2016). In prisons, corruption and misconduct occur in a variety of forms. Due to the closed-system nature of prisons in the US, the correctional facilities provide plenty of opportunities for abuse of authority. Prison guards and officials are known for accepting bribes and sexual favors in return for weapons, drugs, mobile phones, and other commodities prohibited in prisons ( Prison corruption, 2016). Other, more complicated examples of corruption are related to high-level prison officials. These include organ and blood trafficking ( The right to bleed, 2013), patronized drug dealing, covering up crimes and human rights abuses, and other violations. Many of these incidents are associated with the notorious lack of transparency in the American prison system, particularly in
IT projects are some of the most crucial projects in business management. The projects have become important due to the need to adapt to the advancements in technology (Schwalbe, 2004) . This study therefore looks that installation of Virtual Private Network (VPN) by SAP Inc. The project will involve the acquisition and procurement of various materials. Company Background SAP Inc is a German based ICT company that offers software products to consumers in the global market. The company produces business management software products such as ERP, CRM, and SCM. The organization also develops cloud computing technology for various companies in the global market. The organization was founded in the year 1972 when five managers who had left IBM came together to start a software development business for companies in Germany. Later on the organization expanded its operations to markets outside Germany due to increasing demands of its products. Despite the organization’s success in the industry, data and network security issues have greatly affected its operations. SAP has lost some of its products rights due network invasion from unauthorized intruders. Network security issues therefore raised the need to establish a Virtual Private Network, which could be used to protect the organization’s data and eliminate intrusion by strangers. Goals and Objectives Based on the above information, the goals and objectives of the VPN project will include the following:   * To improve network security   * To enhance network performance   * To improve customer service   * To improve efficiency and effectiveness in data management Security and performance of the network are some of the key issues that will be solved by the establishment of the project. Consequently, these two objectives will improve data management and customer service. Project Scope SAP’s VPN project will involve all the mentioned objectives. Moreover, the project will also include the establishment of reliable and efficient network hardware and components, recruitment and training of employees to manage the network, and construction of more buildings within the premises of the organization to house the server of the network and the data management center. The project will also involve training of the employees and other members of the organization on how to manage the new network and ensure data security. Procurement initiatives will involve acquisition of hardware devices such as computers, network bridges, cables, modems, and network routers. Moreover, procurement activities will also be extended during the bidding process to select the best supplier who will provide reliable network software and programs (Schwalbe, 2004) . On the other hand, human resources activities will involve of the required labor force that will be involved in the management of the network. The human resource department of the organization will work with the project managers to identify and design appropriate job description for the individuals who will be
Introduction Crisis Management which was limited at the corporate level has now been extended to the National and International level, after the outburst of terrorist attacks in the US, UK, and India and also the spread of bird flu and other related epidemics throughout the world. The advancement in information technology has brought nations together and one nation alone cannot handle these disasters independently. Management experts have drawn up different plans of crisis management to meet this new environment. We will examine the general aspects of traditional crisis management and how Pandemic crisis management is different from traditional crisis management and also how each Pandemic is planned differently. How does Crisis Management work in an organization? Corporate level crisis, Site related crisis, Product related crisis, and People related crisis are the chief areas of concern for the Top Management. Corporate level crises include an attack on brand, attack on management, competitor allegation, and political interference. Site-related crisis includes industrial accidents, production and distribution problems, labor disputes, etc. Product-related crisis failure of product quality, accidental contamination. People related crisis includes a threat to an employee, accidents, corruption, etc. Safety of the employees and transparent, fast communication are the guiding principles for any crisis management philosophy. There will be a crisis management team in any orga
Introduction Diaspora is the concept of migration or dispersion regardless of the time spent on its creation or the time of its existence. Diaspora may be characterized by two different states as it is both a process and a condition. It is a process since it is constantly in the creation, and as a condition, it is located within the universal sexual category and hierarchies. Diaspora as a process is continuously being transformed trough movements, exodus journeys and in the imaginary thought patterns as well as political struggle and cultural creation. As a condition, it is constrained to the procedure by which it is prepared and remade. Diaspora can be reversed just the same way it was made. This calls for examination of various Diasporas from various historical backgrounds and locations. The extensive based conceptualization of African Diaspora is augmented by its long history. The process of creation of this particular Diaspora was influenced by racial capitalism, imperialism, and colonialism. In essence, the African Diaspora exists within the framework of gender hierarchies and global race which are made along legal, cultural, economic, imperial and social lines. Effects of slave trade on definition of Diaspora The aspect of slave trade directly affected the African Diaspora. The groups of slaves were sailed across the Atlantic while their concentration in the African culture remained intact. The groups never became unified or monolithic. Differences of gender and class were integral and deeply entrenched in social relations to Central and West Africa. Imperial structures and wars brought together the Soyinka and Wolof due to their closeness to each other in location and common trade routes. Black labor migration brought about by slave trade was basically triggered by the need for capital, labor policies and ideologies. This made the migrants to work in mines, plantations, and rail works of the Europeans (Patterson and Kelley, 2000, p.13). Major political dimensions and developments with regard to industrialization were shaped by revolutions, violence, famines and international wars. The revolutions yielded immigrants some of whom were dispersed in the U.S. Therefore, Black Nationalism has not necessary been originated from Africa. It is linked to international movements like socialism, feminism, communi
Introduction The Coping Cat Program (CCP) is an interventionist program that was established to treat children with anxiety disorders. The program is managed under the Children, Youth and Family Mental Health Evidence-Based Practice Project under the collaborative partnership between the New York State Office of Mental Health and the University at Buffalo School of Social Work. The project began in the year 2002 to assist in assessment, training and consultation to over 400 affiliate agencies across nineteen countries in western region. Its main goal is to, through the agencies, provide guidelines in increasing awareness, establish plans and institute widely recognizable evidenced –based practices aimed at improving the mental status of children and families at large. (Promising Practices Network, 2006). Project description The program is established under a joint partnership between the school of social work and New York State Office of Mental Health to assess and implement the following:  1. Staff training in countries of western region and agencies to the Office of Mental Health in regard to evidence based practices to assist children, adolescents and families.  2. A project website that provides Western New York mental health practitioners with access to current evidence- based practice information and resources for children, adolescents and their families (Promising Practices Network, 2006). This program is administered to children aged between eight and thirteen years under the coping Cat plan and also adolescents aged between fourteen and seventeen years through the CAT plan. This program is established on the premise that children under this age bracket encounter challenges of coping with their anxieties in their prime age of learning. On the other hand, adolescents are also a vulnerable group of children who are undergoing challenges during developmental changes which immensely contribute to anxiety disorders. It is within this context that anxiety therapies are necessary so as to assist children and youth in overcoming their anxiety problems while turning these challenges into learning experiences. Families are also another facet that must not be left out. Since they are the primary host of children, they are the immediate consumers of the impacts of anxiety in children. The program thus seeks to engage families in understanding and helping children to cope with their anxiety complexes through parent involvement. Validity and Fidelity of Data Studies conducted by Kendall and Hedtke (2007), have widely been employed in an attempt to showcase the validity of the empirically supported treatment (EST) as applied by the coping Cat program. This is used as supportive evidence to demonstrate the flexibility concept in the context of fidelity. Since flexibility under fidelity focuses on the use of ESTs as well as considering the individual participant presentation, Kendall proposes the use of the Coping Cat with younge
Summary President Barack Obama signed the Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as Obamacare into law on March 23, 2010. It was a health reform bill that he had promised to Americans a year earlier during the presidential campaigns. This happened after a protracted period of discussions, lobbying, backlash, and negotiations that at one point, put his legacy at risk because of a possible failure. The world was not privy to the level of lobbying that
The recruitment process is a critical component of the practice of human resource management. It encompasses the process of ensuring that as many qualified people are attracted to the job being offered, they are adequately screened and that the best qualified candidates are selected. Developing a productive and competent must always start with a recruitment process which guarantees that the best job seekers are considered for appointment even before the other processes of human resource development can kick off. Ensuring the right people are hired has great benefits to the company as it not only improves productivity but it also reduces on the cost of training as well as the recurrence of costly errors committed by employees. Therefore a good recruitment process should guarantee the hiring of quality staff. This paper discusses the application of information technology in the recruitment process. It explains how e-recruitment has developed over time and the general views concerning the process in terms of how well it suites the recruitment process for companies. As mentioned above, e-recruitment involves the use of information technology in the recruitment process. The modern day advent of information technology has offered many solutions to a myriad of problems facing organizations across the globe. Before the start of application of information technology in the recruitment process, firms had to go through an elaborate and often lengthy and inefficient process in trying to recruit members of staff who best suit the positions. Advertisements had to be placed mainly in the print media to attract suitable applicants who would have to either post their applications or hand deliver them to the company’s offices. At the recruitment offices, the staff would have to manually scrutinize the candidates before contacting them for interviews and finally posting (Beardwell, Holden & Claydon, 2004, p45). E-recruitment has come in to offer a different and more efficient platform on which the recruitment process can be done. The process has developed from the very basic form to the more sophisticated and intelligent systems applied in the big corporations today. In the initial stages of application of e-recruitment, companies mainly used their own websites to advertise for vacant positions as opposed to rushing to the print media. Job sites and other social websites were also developing fast and offered a wider audience as opposed to restraining to the company websites. These platforms were either used to filter the candidates eligible for the positions or were used as additional alternatives to the traditional job advertisements done on the print media (Searle, 2003, p32). As internet usage spread, applications could now be sent to the employers through the email rather than hand delivery or postage. The employers could now deal with applications in a more systematic manner. As this development took root in the e-recruitment process, it became apparent that some of the information required by the employers was not being effectively communicated by the employee. This prompted the need to develop the concept of online completion of application
IKEA is one of the most profitable companies which specialize in designing and selling furniture and accessories for houses and households in the world. IKEA was founded in 1943, and today the company operates all over the world while having the stores in 42 countries and opening a number of new stores in different countries annually. In the United Arab Emirates (UAE), there are two IKEA stores which are opened and operated according to the franchise business principles ( IKEA , 2014). To guarantee that IKEA stores in the UAE can develop according to the idea of the long-term growth, it is necessary to refer to the estimation of the Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) in order to examine the issue of profitability ( Customer Lifetime Value Calculator , 2007). Following the CLV calculated for IKEA stores in the UAE, it is important to note that the average contribution before mailing costs per customer per year is expected to be $200; the one-time acquisition cost per customer is $350; the average contribution per purchase is $200; and the profit per customer in year is $600 ( Customer Lifetime Value Calculator , 2007). Customer Lifetime Value Calculator, 2007. The two benefits which IKEA would gain while embracing the concept of the CLV are the following ones: (1) the reduction of expenses associated with the promotion of the new products depending on the target audience’s interests because of improving the target marketing approaches with references to the CLV; and (2) the opportunity to focus on the appropriate service level to respond to the customers’ needs while concentrating on different groups of customers as a result of analyzing the CLV ( Customer Lifetime Value Calculator , 2007; IKEA , 2014).
What do you think are the main reasons people join gangs? Teens notoriously join a criminal lot to gain esteem and identification either in school or within their social circles. This is mostly combined with individuals who are seeking consideration or lack the joint closeness at home. They contend that it enables them fit in the neighborhood, and gives a rationale in life. People join banned gangs early in life when they are probing for self. Joining a gang thus gives them an opportunity to find out more about themselves and showcase their abilities. Unfortunately, there are some who connect to it as a form of rebellion against parents or the administration, while some are plainly curios. There are other children who are threatened, or are weak and so join such organizations to achieve security. Racism and poverty have also coerced kids to join such groups. Poverty may designate an individual to adhere to a criminal union in order to make money. This will enable them meet their corporeal and emotional needs, hence develop delight. When a section of the society is denied some privileges, they resort to forming traditional unions, which will uphold their cause. Do you believe the Juvenile Justice system should support gang summits that claim to be working toward peaceful, lawful ways to improve the situation of gang members? It is tolerable to allow children join such groups as long as their ambitions are constructive. Some groups encourage their members and bring out the best of their talents. Such groups help juveniles develop in a healthy environment in which they can discover their potentials. Gang summits which employ prevention and intrusion approaches to improve the situation of gang members should be supported. Such organizations take a stand in reducing the patterns and levels of gang activities. They identify the reasons why kids think of joining such groups, for example, substandard parenting or poverty, and formulate necessary measures to stop them. The established gang members, who may be in such associations because they are broke, are offered substitute sources of pay and rehabilitative measures which better their future Should the police be in the schools as a crime prevention method? Why or why not? The. presence of justice enforces reduces temptations to commit a crime to a certain extent. Crime prevention basically entails the police being aware that a crime would occur, predict its form, know its location, and take measures to reduce its incidence. A wrong-doer must have the craving, aptitude and opportunity to commit an offense. While the enthusiasm and talent of one may not be barricaded, having no opportunity significantly reduces misdeeds. However, there are other methods of preventing crime in schools. Effective methods ca
