Born in June 11th 1880, Rankin is in history as the first woman to clinch the congressional seat in America. Rankin, even though later joined politics was a graduate from Missoula State University where she graduated in 1902 with Bachelor of Science in Biology (Amer, 2008). When in Harvard for a visit, Rankin got touched with plights of the slum dwellers and decided to become a social worker, a task she engaged in for a period of four months. (Amer, 2008) After the completion of these, Rankin joined philanthropic school in New York after which she again worked as a social worker in children’s home in Washington Rankin also was in the forefront in agitating for the rights of women in America, one of the rights she fought for was the discrimination of women during voting (Schultz & Assendelft, 1999). Women were not allowed to exercise their voting rights and this is what Rankin wanted to be reversed such that elections were to be based on universal suffrage. (Schultz & Assendelft, 1999)In New York, Rankin teamed up with other fellows like Katherine Anthony infighting for the women rights. In 1912, she was elected the secretary of the National American Women Suffrage Association (NAWSA) a body that spearheaded the 1913 suffrage march during the official inauguration of Woodrow Wilson in Washington, D.C. In 1914, she relinquished her position as the secretary of the NAWSA so as to enable her stage a similar protest in her home town in Montana (Smith, 2002). In 1916, there were every indications that the war in the west was in the offing, Rankin then embarked on a peace building initiative. The looming war necessitated her quest for the congressional seat of Montana (Smith, 2002). She vied for the position on a republican ticket and won the elections becoming the first ever congress woman to be elected on a universal suffrage. No form of western democracy had culminated into a woman winning a congressional position (Amer, 2008). Rankin used her position to champion for the women‘s rights and labor abuses especially in children, she was also a columnist in one of the news papers were she articulated the grievances of the society (Schultz & Assendelft, 1999). Rankin being a believer of non violent ways of going about issues, voted against the motion supporting American entry into the First World War, she vehemently opposed the move and even went against the law by giving a speech as to why she would not support her country entry into the war (Smith, 2002). Following her comments were sharp criticisms from other legislatures who attributed the occurrences to be the results of universal suffrage, during her tenure as the congress, she proposed several bills that mainly targeted children’s welfare, wage increment, civil liberties and suffrage bills (Smith, 2002). Despite the enormous tasks the congress endeavored to deliver, her first impression to the people of not supporting a decision by the legislature that America should join the First World War ruined her political career. When she l
Subcontracting is the entrusting of partial or all of the contractors’ duties or responsibilities to a subcontractor. Subcontractors are regarded independent and answerable to their own subcontractors. In this case, Foodmart is likely to win for the breach of contract that has been committed by their contractor Masterpiece. In a contract, the main contractor should acquaint the client with all the information and necessary details that may be required by the client (McGuinness 2007). Before final decisions are made with regard to a contract, the essentials of a valid contract like offer, acceptance, consideration, and capacity must be in existence (Killion & Dempski 2000). The decision to make Masterpiece construction liable is informed by the following reasons. To begin with, the failure by Masterpiece to disclose the subcontractor to Foodmart was not in itself in good spirit. In contract law, the subcontractor is supposed to be approved by Foodmart to help facilitate payment and other communication that may be necessary (McGuinness 2007). To make the matters serious Builder construction failed to adhere to the required standards of the client making the work below quality. The client will therefore have the right to repudiate the contract on the basis that the terms of the agreements have not been upheld (McGuinness 2007). Another reason why the plaintiff is likely to win the case is the fact that the client has delayed. The defense of commercial impracticability may only be valid in instances where there are frustrating factors like substantial price increase or natural factors like weather that might have frustrated the process (Killion & Dempski 2000). Foodmart can argue that the period has lapsed and are therefore not obliged to honor the contract. The fact that Masterpiece construction was in a position to secure more contracts is not sufficient to make the company subcontract to another that cannot ensure quality standards. Foodmark can therefore peg their argument on this and claim compensation for the losses suffered. Foodmark’s case file for an injunction is likely to be administered in the court ruling as a means of ensuring that the contract breach is terminated. An injunction is also likely to be made to stop the subcontractor from further doing a poor-quality work (McGuinness 2007). The remedy of specific performance is instituted in instance that other monetary damages cannot restore all the parties to their pre-contract period. The court therefore is likely to rule in favor of the plaintiff
Introduction Media and the Internet are powerful tools that can connect and educate people. However, these tools can also affect people negatively, such as through misconduct with information and online interactions. UAE privacy laws impact the conduct of media and private individuals in many ways. The areas in which UAE privacy laws are excised include photographs and videos, information, and even emojis used on social media. That interactions and behaviors in online media are controlled and monitored is imperative for a safe and secure social environment. However, the extent to which control is exercised should not infringe upon the verification of truth and freedom of speech. UAE Privacy Laws Privacy laws protect and regulate how people’s personal information is managed. Privacy laws consider not only individuals’ information and well-being but also the security and reputation of the government. UAE media laws that have the most importance are UAE Penal Code, Publications & Publishing Law, and Cybercrime Law. Cybercrime Law is the most recent of these acts and considers online communication and activities. Punishments for breaking privacy laws vary depending on the committed misconduct and usually include fines and/or prison sentences (Duffy, 2018). In addition, privacy laws uphold authenticity within the realm of legal justice. The posts and interactions online or in media can affect court prosecutions, so this area of public conduct is also regulated. For example, taking pictures or filming violations of the law is prohibited lest the photographs or videos are made to be presented to the authorities (Sherouk, 2022). This prevents the evidence from reaching the public and therefore influences the matters in court. UAE Privacy Laws’ Impacts The purpose of any law is to prevent misconduct, protect citizens from it, and provide a consequence for causing it. Privacy laws possess these features and also have a profound impact on the social life of the country. On the one hand, it protects the citizens and their government from defamation and invasion of privacy and aims to keep peace and composure in times of distress. For example, videos and pictures taken during the terror attack on Abu Dhabi were prohibited from sharing because that could endanger military and other vital functional systems (“Houthi terror attack on Abu Dhabi: Residents urged not to share videos of missiles being intercepted, destroyed,” 2022). In addition, these laws are potent prevention agents. Defam
Abstract Performance assessments have always been used as a rationale to gauge the profitability of an organisation. This included use of strategic plans and other set objectives as a measure of achievement. The qualitative and quantitative aspects of the products and services offered by an organisation were not of any significance as long as they could meet the demands of the consumers. ISO is the current tool of measuring the performance of a company since it is all inclusive and focuses on all the aspects of an organisation at the same time focusing on the treatment of the company’s employees. The purpose of this study is to check and validate the quality of the services and the wholesome performance of one of the fire brigade companies. Various strategies of Quality Assurance (QA) in this field such as the legal stipulations have been outlined and used as score-cards to find out on the quality performance of the company. It is true that every field has their own rules and therefore the rules of the jungle must be followed to the latter. The study therefore focuses on all the areas of the Fire Brigade Company and reports on the proper training regimes, rating and performance, regular feedback as well as all the relevant statistical analysis. This ensues from appropriate methods of statistics and legally approved interpretations of the data available in order to make conclusions that appertains to QA (Maidment 59). Introduction Quality Assurance Quality assurance (QA) is defined as a systematic procedure of monitoring and evaluating the various facets of a service, project, or a facility with the intention of optimizing the probability of adherence to the minimum standards used to measure quality and their achievement at the process of service execution. Despite the fact that QA does not guarantee quality products, it helps in regulating assemblies, raw materials, products and components, production related services, inspection, production processes and management. For our case QA has two main dimensions; the services offered should fit to intended objectives and the elimination of errors. The determinants of quality are the recipients of the services through their satisfaction. Overview of Cleveland Fire Brigade Cleveland Fire Brigade is the organization under focus in this study. This is a legal fire and rescue service whose area of jurisdiction includes; Stockton-on-Tees, M
History is one of the key aspects of human life, and a lot can be learned from past interactions between people. The way they treat each other reflects on everything that surrounds them and causes changes in the world and how future generations turn out. Racism and segregation amongst different people existed for a long time. It is especially noticeable when land is colonized, and the local population is alienated and exterminated. This was the case with Native Americans, which is remembered as a sad chapter in the history books. The settlers that came from Europe and built a new world which was called the United States was an entity separate from the lives and traditions of the Native People who populated North America. In “Oneida Headmen” and “Speech of the Onondaga Council,” it is clearly stated how the treatment of Natives was overshadowed by the Europeans’ superior thinking and belief in their greatness. The whole population of residents of North America was disgracefully and unreasonably disvalued in their traditions and beliefs, and people were forced to move out from the land that belonged to them in the first place. The newly introduced European culture was so dominant and overwhelming that Native Americans fixated on the dependence. Alcohol and goods which were used for trading became their major focus, and so, Natives were overtaken by the treaties and influences of the Old World. One of the Natives remembers that previously, they lived in a land where people were free, who lived as one and did not depend on others. With the arrival of Europeans, they became “slaves” not only physically but morally as well. The new colonists used this dependence and were mistreating Natives without any respect and honor. But at the same time, there were instances when unions were formed between Natives and settlers, as together they could provide mutual protection from a common enemy, while Natives possessed local knowledge of geography. Land treaties that were drafted were a very unfamiliar business to the Natives, and often, misunderstandings came up. Europeans arrived and forced their education onto natives, as well as the Christian religion. This was particularly detrimental because the new education was convincing, while the new religion was supported by real-life examples. This was very confusing to the Natives, and their world was being slowly taken apart and replaced with something foreign and unknown. The segregation that took place happened on several levels. One was moral where people were degraded, and even the name they were called “Indians” was politically incorrect. Natives could not choose their land by law and could not participate in any policymaking. The ability and right to move were taken away as well, and all the available resources were used for the needs of colonizers. A cultural and social division was the major
Investing $1,000,000 through stocks Amazon Investment in common stocks worth $ 400,000 The majority of the stock market is made up of common stocks. Preferred stocks, on the other hand, have no voting rights and are the polar opposite of common stock. Typical stocks provide a dividend and give voting rights to long-term investors, but they do not use those rights in most cases (Vinodkumar & Khalid AlJasser, 2020). Walt Disney’s investment in ETFs (Exchange Traded Fund) worth $300,000 Bonds, commodities, indexes, and assets are all tracked by exchange-traded funds or ETFs. They are traded on stock markets in the same way as common stocks. ETFs with a higher trading volume and cheaper fees than mutual funds have higher and lower prices (Vinodkumar & Khalid AlJasser, 2020).

Amazon Profile, History, and What They Produce Jeff Bezos created Amazon.com to sell books over the Internet. The website was launched in 1995 and immediately rose to the top of the Internet book-related sites. Amazon aims to provide the World with the Largest Selection and be the Most Customer-Centered Company, allowing customers to find and discover everything they wish to buy online. Amazon is an e-commerce platform, which connects buyers, merchants, and content creators. It sells items and material that has been purchased for resale from vendors as well as third-party sellers. Filmmakers, singers, app developers, authors, and others can use the website of the company, which is already branded, to publish and sell their work (Jackson & Orebaugh,2018). Amazon financial information Amazon experienced a 72% increase in the operating cash flow, equivalent to $ 66.1 billion in 2019 compared to the previous ending of December 31. The cash flow increased by $31 billion, a good profit margin (Al-Marzooqi & Nobanee 2020).In addition, based on the analysis, the payments of the principal are less than the cash flow and other financial obligations, a growth of approximately $ 20.3 billion compared to the pre
Introduction Being the most important aspect in microeconomics, production entails the process of product engineering to yield valuable economic outputs (Markovits, 2008). To increase efficiency in production, according to Markovits, a firm has to manipulate a variety of variables and factors of production that include land, labor, and capital. The aim of the research is to determine how a firm can achieve efficiency at a fixed cost of production, which economists refer to as the short run. The study focuses on an Aerospace engineering company in Singapore specializing in the production of aircraft seat-brackets. With a market share in the range of 30-40 percent, the company is determined to know how a monthly fixed cost would influence the production of brackets. Having performed a research and collected relevant data, exploitation of the production function and other related economic analysis functions are necessary to achieve the company’s goal. Being in the Aerospace sector, the company in focus is committed in maximizing in profits, therefore this research will assist the firm in economic planning and strategy. The paper employs different microeconomic models to achieve the purpose of analyzing how a fixed cost influences the production of brackets and the corresponding impact on the economy (Cohen, 2000). With an aim of achieving its mandate, the paper employs the Quadratic Average Cost Function with data from regression analysis. The aim is to analyze results of regression with algebraic parameters, which is possible to achieve with the calculation of output based on the market prices of each bracket. Thereafter, the study gives an economic forecast of the firm and advising appropriately based on the results and analysis of firm production. Analysis of Results from the Regression Output The table below is a compilation of the regression output.

The Average Variable Cost Curve is a positive U-shaped curve because in most instances AVC decreases when output rises with a decline in input levels, and then it increases as the output levels rise (Cohen, 2000).

Introduction Power play is the intense painstaking activities undertaken in order to realize specific laid down objectives. Atari and Nintendo were among the major companies that ventured in home video game system business. Previously, Atari was a major power to reckon with in the industry but was later toppled by Nintendo. This paper is generally about Nintendo’s power play in the video game industry. Nintendo’s product enhancement Nintendo’s power play of displacing Atari, an earlier entrant in the industry, was by various tactics. The first tactic included by Nintendo in the earlier stages was to advance its product by extracting the performance from the 8-bit processor into an enhanced powerful home machine with superior graphics and fast action. Secondly, Nintendo’s policy of incorporating security chip among other microchips in the console made sure that only their approved cartridges played on their system. Why? According to my personal view, it was a measure to ensure their cartridges were selling, since Nintendo was also in cartridge manufacturing business. In addition, insulating its dedicated R&D team from sales team, guaranteed better chances of getting truly fresh game concepts in line with Nintendo’s third President, Hiroshi Yamauchi. The team emerged with several successful hit games such as Donkey Kong, Famicom and Game Boy among others. Pricing and Subcontracting Part of Yamauchi’s vision was to introduce new and cheaper video games in the market than the competitors. Nintendo games become cheap than those of its competitors due to several factors. Nintendo subcontracted manufacturing of its cartridges, chipsets and later on games. This gave the company room to concentrate more on crucial matters such as marketing. Cartridges and chips were obtained at a rock bottom prices and were later retailed to Nintendo game producers at very profitable margins. These measures by Nintendo were essential in displacing Atari and ensuring impeccable sales and revenue. Atari’s troubles On the other hand, Atari was facing it own problems, which included rampant counterfeiting of its products, poor sales and production of low quality software which subsequently lead to lack
Any Shakespearian comedy is timeless as these works reveal eternal issues which all generations have to solve. The Twelfth Night , for instance, concentrates on such issues as love, friendship, relationships between the man and the woman as well as the distribution of gender roles in the society. Of course, these are issues which can hardly be solved. Besides, each generation has specific views on the matter. Thus, people of the twenty-first century tend to see concepts other generations did not pay attention to. At present, lots of researchers focus on such concepts as gender roles and homosexuality as well as such conventional topics as the significance of the plot and subplots, analysis of characters, analysis of literary devises and so on. In this paper, I will consider distribution of gender roles in the Elizabethan era and contemporary world through analysis of the play. In the first place, it is necessary to note that it is quite irrelevant to try to understand what Shakespeare wanted to stress. It is possible to contemplate about his desire to show women’s underprivileged position in the society (Lindheim 680). The playwright could have tried to say that a female could hardly exist in the society without a male. Nonetheless, these contemplations will be rather groundless as it is impossible to find any information on this matter. At the same time, it is possible to trace the way people see the society through their appreciation and evaluation of the play. It is a well-known fact that any literary work (as well as the way people perceive it) reflects characteristics of the society. The Twelfth Night reveals major characteristics of the Elizabethan society where males were powerful and decisive and where women had to be submissive and gentle. One of characteristic features of that time was people’s striving to adhere to conventions of Platonic love of Italian Renaissance. Thus, noble men used to create an image of their perfect lady who was idealized and worshiped (Schalkwyk 82). Duke Orsino’s decision to marry Olivia is an illustration of this practice. Obviously, Duke Orsino does not really love Olivia as the real Olivia and the one the noble man created in his mind are totally different women. However, it could not bother the duke as he was absorbed by his affection, “O, when mine eyes did see Olivia first, / Methought she purged the air of pestilence! / That instant was I turn’d into a hart;” (Shakespeare 1). The man is lovesick and he is willing to reveal his feelings. Apparently, Shakespeare depicts an example of men who had the same love ideals. The fact that this relationship never starts can suggest that people of that period did not believe in such love any more. The fact that Duke Orsino chooses a woman he knows (even though she w
