Stuffed the channels
The SEC believed Bristol-Myers (BM) first engaged in channel stuffing (filling distribution channels with excess inventory to inflate sales and earnings figures) in the first quarter of 2000 through the fourth quarter of 2001. In addition to channel stuffing, BM also attempted an improper deal with Apotex Inc. and used "cookie jar" reserves to meet targets. The marketing programs "Double Double" and "Mega-Double" helped drive the need for channel stuffing. In total, BM paid $1.701 billion in fines and penalties for its fraudulent schemes. Revenue recognition frauds are a frequent problem for the SEC because they often result in large market capitalization drops and costly restatements.
Memo on ethical issue of deceiving accounting practices faced by bristol myer...
Bristol-Myers Squibb engaged in unethical accounting practices between 1999-2003 to inflate revenues and meet targets. They used channel stuffing and cookie jar accounting to overstate revenues by $2.5 billion and profits by $913 million. This misled investors by making the company seem consistently profitable when it was not. The scandal was discovered in 2003 when suppliers returned excess inventory, collapsing reported revenues. Bristol-Myers Squibb paid $150 million in civil penalties and $839 million to shareholders without admitting guilt. Top executives were also personally tried for their roles in the deception.

ACCT Enron
Enron was formed in 1985 through the merger of two energy companies and grew rapidly, reaching $100 billion in annual revenue by 2000. In 1997, Enron's CFO started hiding debts and inflating profits to misrepresent the company's financials. Both the CFO, Jeff Skilling, and CEO, Kenneth Lay, were later charged with fraud for using deceptive accounting practices to mislead shareholders and regulators about Enron's true performance. To avoid similar issues, companies need boards that provide close oversight of management behavior, finances, and business ethics to prevent deception.

Ch4 q13
The document discusses several examples of companies responding to product issues and how their responses impacted sales and reputation. It describes how Suzuki denied issues with its Samurai rolling over, which led to plummeting sales, while Daimler-Benz admitted a rolling issue with its A-class, quickly addressed it, and retained most of its orders. WorldCom admitted to intentionally hiding $4 billion in expenses, leading to bankruptcy, while insider trading cases resulted in costly charges against Martha Stewart and others who illegally profited from non-public information. Acting ethically and with social responsibility benefits companies and investors in the long run compared to unethical behavior seeking short-term gains.

GLOBAL DIMENSIONS OF WHITE-COLLAR CRIME
A midst the turmoil and fallout of the Enron scandal that led to the company’s declaration of bankruptcy, a number of former Enron officials faced charges for various offenses. One such official was former CEO Jeffrey Skilling, who was ultimately found guilty of 19 fraud related charges, including conspiracy, insider trading, securities fraud, and making false statements to auditors. As punishment for his misdeeds, the 52-year-old Skilling was sentenced in 2006 to 24 years and 4 months in a federal prison. In addition, he was fined $45 million, which was to be put into a fund to benefit those who had been harmed by Enron’s collapse. While servining his sentence in 2010, he won a minor victory when the U.S. Supreme Court found that instructions to the jury with respect to one of the charges were inaccurate, and threw out the conviction on that charge. The case was then sent back to the trial court judge to determine whether the inaccurate instructions regarding the one charge tainted the convictions on the other charges. In 2013, the case was finally resolved as he was resentenced to 14 years in a federal prison as part of a court ordered reduction and a separate plea agreement with the prosecution. Unfortunately, this story is just one of many recent large and complex white-collar crime scandals. During 2009, Internet crime resulted in losses in the United States of $559.7 million, more than two times as much as in 2008.1 At the end of 2008, the FBI was investigating 545 corporate fraud cases each of which involved investor losses that exceeded $1 billion.2

International accounting scandals
Accounting scandals typically involve executives misusing funds, overstating revenues or assets, or underreporting expenses or liabilities. This can amount to fraud. Common causes include executives temporarily reducing stock prices to facilitate company takeovers for personal gain or feeling pressured to alter financials for personal benefit. Some of the largest corporate accounting scandals include Enron inflating assets by $11 billion, WorldCom overstating assets by $3.8 billion, and Tyco executives stealing $150 million and inflating income by $500 million. These scandals often result in bankruptcy, large fines, and executive prison sentences.

Crafty Lawyers Feed Off Craft Foods
Plaintiffs' lawyers have been filing more class action lawsuits against large food and beverage companies that use terms like "craft", "handmade", or "artisanal" in their labeling and marketing. These lawsuits claim consumer deception since the products are mass produced, not made through unique processes as implied. While the lawsuits result in settlements, most of the money goes to the lawyers' fees, with consumers receiving little. Regulators need clearer standards for labeling terms, and courts should ensure settlements truly benefit consumers rather than just lawyers.
Walmart lobbying in India 2014
The document discusses lobbying in India, specifically regarding Walmart's activities in the country. It provides background on India's growing retail sector and Walmart's plans to expand operations in India. In 2012, Walmart disclosed that it had spent $25 million on lobbying activities in India since 2008 related to foreign investment. This caused an uproar in India, as lobbying is seen negatively there. Opposition parties demanded an investigation into Walmart's lobbying. The disclosure highlighted issues with the lack of lobbying regulations in India. It increased resentment towards Walmart and was used by groups opposed to foreign investment. An independent committee was formed to investigate Walmart's lobbying activities in India.
Business ethics in finance
This document discusses the role of finance and accounting professionals in several major corporate accounting scandals, including Enron, Satyam, and Kingfisher. It notes that while some professionals were directly involved in fraudulent activities, many others failed to challenge known accounting issues and irregularities. The document argues that to create an ethical environment and avoid future scandals, companies must ensure employees are aware of their legal and ethical duties, provide whistleblower protections, and treat those who report issues fairly. Upholding high ethical standards within an organization is important to avoid major accounting frauds.

Conrad Hilton bought his first hotel property in 1919 in Cisco, Texas. Over the next 20 years, Hilton grew his small hotel business and expanded internationally. However, this global expansion came with great financial risk in the unstable post-war economy. By 2005, Hilton Hotels Corp bought Hilton International and the two entities merged. The Blackstone Group bought Hilton in 2007 and remains the largest hotel owner worldwide. Hilton has faced legal issues such as lawsuits over recording customer service calls without consent and allegations of corporate espionage against Starwood Hotels. It has also grappled with religious/ethics controversies like discrimination against same-sex marriages and workers' rights complaints.

Case 7-8
Diamond Foods
On November 14, 2012, Diamond Foods Inc. disclosed
restated financial statements tied to an accounting scandal
that reduced its earnings during the first three quarters
of 2012 as it took significant charges related to improper
accounting for payments to walnut growers. The restatements
cut Diamond’s earnings by 57 percent for FY2011, to
$29.7 million, and by 46 percent for FY2010, to $23.2 million.
By December 7, 2012, Diamond’s share price had declined
54 percent for the year. A press release issued by the company
explains in great detail the accounting and financial
reporting issues. 1
Diamond Foods, long-time maker of Emerald nuts and
subsequent purchaser of Pop Secret popcorn (2008) and
Kettle potato chips (2010), became the focus of an SEC
investigation after The Wall Street Journal raised questions
about the timing and accounting of Diamond’s payments to
walnut growers. The case focuses on the matching of costs
and revenues. At the heart of the investigation was the question
of whether Diamond senior management adjusted the
accounting for the grower payments on purpose to increase
profits for a given period.
The case arose in September 2011, when Douglas
Barnhill, an accountant who is also a farmer of 75 acres of
California walnut groves, got a mysterious check for nearly
$46,000 from Diamond. Barnhill contacted Eric Heidman,
the company’s director of field operations, on whether the
check was a final payment for his 2010 crop or prepayment
for the 2011 harvest. (Diamond growers are paid in installments,
with the final payment for the prior fall’s crops coming
late the following year.) Though it was September 2011,
Barnhill was still waiting for full payment for the walnuts that
he had sent Diamond in 2010. Heidman told Barnhill that the
payment was for the 2010 crop, part of FY2011, but that it
would be “budgeted into the next year.” The problem is under
accounting rules, you cannot legitimately record in a future
fiscal year an amount for a prior year’s c ...

- The Philippine economy faces challenges like low productivity, corruption and an unfavorable trade balance that hamper growth. However, the economy continues to grow slowly.
- Under a free market system, private businesses play a major role in providing goods and services, raising standards of living, and bringing new products to market. Their profit-making also motivates economic development.
- People engage in business for reasons like employment creation, profits, personal satisfaction and achieving power or influence. Successful entrepreneurs tend to be risk-takers

In this assignment, you will analyze Fiedler's Contingency Theory and learn to identify the most effective leadership style to use in different situations. Using the South University Online Library or the Internet, conduct research to gain a greater understanding of Fiedler's Contingency Theory.
Scenario:
Read the following scenario and analyze how this situation should be handled:
John, a health management student completing an internship at Memorial Hospital, has been appointed chair of a multidisciplinary clinical taskforce by the hospital's CEO. The taskforce will design a new operational system to reduce the waiting time of patients entering the hospital's emergency room (ER). Although John had no clinical experience, he had successfully completed a course in operations management prior to beginning his internship and was excited to apply his new knowledge for solving a "real" problem for the hospital.
The hospital CEO told John that when a patient entered the hospital's ER, it could take up to eight hours from the time the patient was initially triaged by a nurse to the time the patient was either discharged home or admitted as an inpatient by the physician. The CEO said, "Due to quality of patient care issues, this timeframe is unacceptable and the taskforce needs to come up with solutions to this problem. My goal is to reduce the "turnaround" time for the patient from eight hours to two hours."
Prior to being assigned as the chair of this taskforce, John had informally observed the operations of the hospital's ER and noted that many of the bottlenecks causing patient care delays were caused by operational issues such as nurses filling out duplicate forms and a lack of communication between the hospital departments (for example, radiology) when the ER physicians ordered tests or were waiting for test results to confirm their diagnoses. These bottlenecks caused a slow turnover of the ER's examination rooms and unnecessary paperwork resulting in the ineffective use of both the physicians' and nurses' time.
In addition to John, the CEO assigned Dr. Smith, the medical director of the hospital's ER, and Mary, the ER nurse manager, to the taskforce. As chair of the taskforce, John scheduled an initial meeting for 10:00 a.m., the following Monday. John was surprised that both Dr. Smith and Mary arrived twenty minutes late to the meeting saying that this was "taking valuable time away from their normal assignments." John started the meeting by first introducing himself. Before this meeting, he had no interactions with Dr. Smith and Mary. He then reviewed the current statistics of the average wait time for a patient presenting to the ER and the hospital's CEO desire to reduce this time. He then opened the meeting for comments and suggestions.
Dr. Smith spoke first, "In my opinion, the current operational systems that we have in place are just fine. We just need more ER physicians and examination rooms so that more patients can be seen." Dr. Smi.

The Case “Doe v. City of Intrusia”:
Trouble was brewing in the small, quiet city of Intrusia. Someone was selling methamphetamine to the local teenagers and a popular football player died after an overdose. The community was panicked and demanded that the police find the source of the meth and shut it down immediately. The police suspected that 20 year old Joe Doe was selling the meth but they didn’t have much evidence.
The state prosecutor advised the police department to talk with the local cell phone carrier about “cloning” Mr. Doe’s phone. The cell phone carrier created a “clone” phone which allowed the police to read text messages sent and received by Mr. Doe. In no time the police had evidence implicating Mr. Doe as a dealer and the location of the meth lab. Mr. Doe was convicted and the meth lab was closed.
Mr. Doe is appealing his conviction, claiming that the interception of text messages violated the unreasonable search and seizure protections of the Fourth Amendment. Furthermore, all evidence from the text messages should have been excluded from his trial.
The City of Intrusia argues that there was no physical intrusion into Mr. Doe’s space and that police were acting quickly in order to uphold their duty to protect the community’s safety.
Background:
In Silverman v. United States the Supreme Court held that that the Fourth Amendment does not protect conversations, therefore wiretapping does not constitute a search and seizure. The case was reversed in Katz v. United States, when Justice Harlan proposed a two pronged test of whether public actions should be considered private and therefore protected. 1) Has the person exhibited an expectation of privacy? and 2) is the expectation of privacy one that society is prepared to recognize as 'reasonable.'
In more recent decisions, the Supreme Court has found that society is not prepared to extend privacy rights to bank customers regarding their bank statements and that society was not prepared to recognize a privacy right-to grow a backyard crop of marijuana.
The Questions:
• Does the Fourth Amendment protect text messages sent over a cell phone?
• Is there a “reasonable expectation of privacy” when texts are sent?
o Did Mr. Doe exhibit an expectation of privacy when he sent the texts?
o Is there a societal expectation of privacy in the process of text messaging?
Related Supreme Court Decisions (each case is linked to a short description on Oyez.com):
Olmstead v. United States (1928)
Did the use of evidence disclosed in wiretapped private telephone conversations; violate the recorded party’s Fourth and Fifth Amendments?

Ch4 q13
The document discusses several examples of companies responding to product issues and how their responses impacted sales and reputation. It describes how Suzuki denied issues with its Samurai rolling over, which led to plummeting sales, while Daimler-Benz admitted a rolling issue with its A-class, quickly addressed it, and retained most of its orders. WorldCom admitted to intentionally hiding $4 billion in expenses, leading to bankruptcy, while insider trading cases resulted in costly charges against Martha Stewart and others who illegally profited from non-public information. Acting ethically and with social responsibility benefits companies and investors in the long run compared to unethical behavior seeking short-term gains.

GLOBAL DIMENSIONS OF WHITE-COLLAR CRIME
A midst the turmoil and fallout of the Enron scandal that led to the company’s declaration of bankruptcy, a number of former Enron officials faced charges for various offenses. One such official was former CEO Jeffrey Skilling, who was ultimately found guilty of 19 fraud related charges, including conspiracy, insider trading, securities fraud, and making false statements to auditors. As punishment for his misdeeds, the 52-year-old Skilling was sentenced in 2006 to 24 years and 4 months in a federal prison. In addition, he was fined $45 million, which was to be put into a fund to benefit those who had been harmed by Enron’s collapse. While servining his sentence in 2010, he won a minor victory when the U.S. Supreme Court found that instructions to the jury with respect to one of the charges were inaccurate, and threw out the conviction on that charge. The case was then sent back to the trial court judge to determine whether the inaccurate instructions regarding the one charge tainted the convictions on the other charges. In 2013, the case was finally resolved as he was resentenced to 14 years in a federal prison as part of a court ordered reduction and a separate plea agreement with the prosecution. Unfortunately, this story is just one of many recent large and complex white-collar crime scandals. During 2009, Internet crime resulted in losses in the United States of $559.7 million, more than two times as much as in 2008.1 At the end of 2008, the FBI was investigating 545 corporate fraud cases each of which involved investor losses that exceeded $1 billion.2

International accounting scandals
Accounting scandals typically involve executives misusing funds, overstating revenues or assets, or underreporting expenses or liabilities. This can amount to fraud. Common causes include executives temporarily reducing stock prices to facilitate company takeovers for personal gain or feeling pressured to alter financials for personal benefit. Some of the largest corporate accounting scandals include Enron inflating assets by $11 billion, WorldCom overstating assets by $3.8 billion, and Tyco executives stealing $150 million and inflating income by $500 million. These scandals often result in bankruptcy, large fines, and executive prison sentences.

Crafty Lawyers Feed Off Craft Foods
Plaintiffs' lawyers have been filing more class action lawsuits against large food and beverage companies that use terms like "craft", "handmade", or "artisanal" in their labeling and marketing. These lawsuits claim consumer deception since the products are mass produced, not made through unique processes as implied. While the lawsuits result in settlements, most of the money goes to the lawyers' fees, with consumers receiving little. Regulators need clearer standards for labeling terms, and courts should ensure settlements truly benefit consumers rather than just lawyers.
Walmart lobbying in India 2014
The document discusses lobbying in India, specifically regarding Walmart's activities in the country. It provides background on India's growing retail sector and Walmart's plans to expand operations in India. In 2012, Walmart disclosed that it had spent $25 million on lobbying activities in India since 2008 related to foreign investment. This caused an uproar in India, as lobbying is seen negatively there. Opposition parties demanded an investigation into Walmart's lobbying. The disclosure highlighted issues with the lack of lobbying regulations in India. It increased resentment towards Walmart and was used by groups opposed to foreign investment. An independent committee was formed to investigate Walmart's lobbying activities in India.
Business ethics in finance
This document discusses the role of finance and accounting professionals in several major corporate accounting scandals, including Enron, Satyam, and Kingfisher. It notes that while some professionals were directly involved in fraudulent activities, many others failed to challenge known accounting issues and irregularities. The document argues that to create an ethical environment and avoid future scandals, companies must ensure employees are aware of their legal and ethical duties, provide whistleblower protections, and treat those who report issues fairly. Upholding high ethical standards within an organization is important to avoid major accounting frauds.

Case 7-8
Diamond Foods
On November 14, 2012, Diamond Foods Inc. disclosed
restated financial statements tied to an accounting scandal
that reduced its earnings during the first three quarters
of 2012 as it took significant charges related to improper
accounting for payments to walnut growers. The restatements
cut Diamond’s earnings by 57 percent for FY2011, to
$29.7 million, and by 46 percent for FY2010, to $23.2 million.
By December 7, 2012, Diamond’s share price had declined
54 percent for the year. A press release issued by the company
explains in great detail the accounting and financial
reporting issues. 1
Diamond Foods, long-time maker of Emerald nuts and
subsequent purchaser of Pop Secret popcorn (2008) and
Kettle potato chips (2010), became the focus of an SEC
investigation after The Wall Street Journal raised questions
about the timing and accounting of Diamond’s payments to
walnut growers. The case focuses on the matching of costs
and revenues. At the heart of the investigation was the question
of whether Diamond senior management adjusted the
accounting for the grower payments on purpose to increase
profits for a given period.
The case arose in September 2011, when Douglas
Barnhill, an accountant who is also a farmer of 75 acres of
California walnut groves, got a mysterious check for nearly
$46,000 from Diamond. Barnhill contacted Eric Heidman,
the company’s director of field operations, on whether the
check was a final payment for his 2010 crop or prepayment
for the 2011 harvest. (Diamond growers are paid in installments,
with the final payment for the prior fall’s crops coming
late the following year.) Though it was September 2011,
Barnhill was still waiting for full payment for the walnuts that
he had sent Diamond in 2010. Heidman told Barnhill that the
payment was for the 2010 crop, part of FY2011, but that it
would be “budgeted into the next year.” The problem is under
accounting rules, you cannot legitimately record in a future
fiscal year an amount for a prior year’s c ...

This document provides an overview of business concepts including the Philippine economy, the role of business, reasons for engaging in business, entrepreneurship, business prospecting and promotion. Some key points:
- The Philippine economy faces challenges like low productivity, corruption and an unfavorable trade balance that hamper growth. However, the economy continues to grow slowly.
- Under a free market system, private businesses play a major role in providing goods and services, raising standards of living, and bringing new products to market. Their profit-making also motivates economic development.
- People engage in business for reasons like employment creation, profits, personal satisfaction and achieving power or influence. Successful entrepreneurs tend to be risk-takers

Scenario:
Read the following scenario and analyze how this situation should be handled:
John, a health management student completing an internship at Memorial Hospital, has been appointed chair of a multidisciplinary clinical taskforce by the hospital's CEO. The taskforce will design a new operational system to reduce the waiting time of patients entering the hospital's emergency room (ER). Although John had no clinical experience, he had successfully completed a course in operations management prior to beginning his internship and was excited to apply his new knowledge for solving a "real" problem for the hospital.
The hospital CEO told John that when a patient entered the hospital's ER, it could take up to eight hours from the time the patient was initially triaged by a nurse to the time the patient was either discharged home or admitted as an inpatient by the physician. The CEO said, "Due to quality of patient care issues, this timeframe is unacceptable and the taskforce needs to come up with solutions to this problem. My goal is to reduce the "turnaround" time for the patient from eight hours to two hours."
Prior to being assigned as the chair of this taskforce, John had informally observed the operations of the hospital's ER and noted that many of the bottlenecks causing patient care delays were caused by operational issues such as nurses filling out duplicate forms and a lack of communication between the hospital departments (for example, radiology) when the ER physicians ordered tests or were waiting for test results to confirm their diagnoses. These bottlenecks caused a slow turnover of the ER's examination rooms and unnecessary paperwork resulting in the ineffective use of both the physicians' and nurses' time.
In addition to John, the CEO assigned Dr. Smith, the medical director of the hospital's ER, and Mary, the ER nurse manager, to the taskforce. As chair of the taskforce, John scheduled an initial meeting for 10:00 a.m., the following Monday. John was surprised that both Dr. Smith and Mary arrived twenty minutes late to the meeting saying that this was "taking valuable time away from their normal assignments." John started the meeting by first introducing himself. Before this meeting, he had no interactions with Dr. Smith and Mary. He then reviewed the current statistics of the average wait time for a patient presenting to the ER and the hospital's CEO desire to reduce this time. He then opened the meeting for comments and suggestions.
Dr. Smith spoke first, "In my opinion, the current operational systems that we have in place are just fine. We just need more ER physicians and examination rooms so that more patients can be seen." Dr. Smi.

In this assignment, you will be a Supreme Court Justice deciding on a Fourth Amendment case. Carefully read about the case in question, the summaries of related Supreme Court decisions, and directions for the assignment.
The Case “Doe v. City of Intrusia”:
Trouble was brewing in the small, quiet city of Intrusia. Someone was selling methamphetamine to the local teenagers and a popular football player died after an overdose. The community was panicked and demanded that the police find the source of the meth and shut it down immediately. The police suspected that 20 year old Joe Doe was selling the meth but they didn’t have much evidence.
The state prosecutor advised the police department to talk with the local cell phone carrier about “cloning” Mr. Doe’s phone. The cell phone carrier created a “clone” phone which allowed the police to read text messages sent and received by Mr. Doe. In no time the police had evidence implicating Mr. Doe as a dealer and the location of the meth lab. Mr. Doe was convicted and the meth lab was closed.
Mr. Doe is appealing his conviction, claiming that the interception of text messages violated the unreasonable search and seizure protections of the Fourth Amendment. Furthermore, all evidence from the text messages should have been excluded from his trial.
The City of Intrusia argues that there was no physical intrusion into Mr. Doe’s space and that police were acting quickly in order to uphold their duty to protect the community’s safety.
Background:
In Silverman v. United States the Supreme Court held that that the Fourth Amendment does not protect conversations, therefore wiretapping does not constitute a search and seizure. The case was reversed in Katz v. United States, when Justice Harlan proposed a two pronged test of whether public actions should be considered private and therefore protected. 1) Has the person exhibited an expectation of privacy? and 2) is the expectation of privacy one that society is prepared to recognize as 'reasonable.'
In more recent decisions, the Supreme Court has found that society is not prepared to extend privacy rights to bank customers regarding their bank statements and that society was not prepared to recognize a privacy right-to grow a backyard crop of marijuana.
The Questions:
• Does the Fourth Amendment protect text messages sent over a cell phone?
• Is there a “reasonable expectation of privacy” when texts are sent?
o Did Mr. Doe exhibit an expectation of privacy when he sent the texts?
o Is there a societal expectation of privacy in the process of text messaging?

In the Wealth of Nations (1776) Smith describes the economy as a sel.docx
In the Wealth of Nations (1776) Smith describes the economy as a self-contained system functioning through an internal mechanism formed by division of labour and exchange. In this system the good of society (increasing wealth) is brought about through the actions of individual economic agents pursuing their own individual interests, interacting on the basis of the natural propensity to exchange. Thus the self-regulating character of the system depends on human nature; and on the actions of individuals who are isolated from one another in their pursuit of their own interests, but also dependent on one another for the realization of those interests. In the Lectures on Jurisprudence (1762-4) Smith explains the propensity to exchange (or "disposition to barter", etc.) as the result of the natural desire to persuade. He also makes it clear that the desire to persuade is not directed by economic self-interest, and does not have any necessary connection to exchange or economic activity. This argument is clearly connected to a line of thought in his earlier book, The Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759), in which he connects the desire to be believed, or to persuade, with the necessity of relations with other individuals as a condition for individuality (that is, for the characteristics necessary in order to be an individual). He also argues for the necessity of relations as a condition for individuality in saying that another basic human desire is that of being beloved. These, earlier, ideas suggest an idea of individuals and society in which relations among individuals are much more fundamental than those described in the Wealth of Nations, and in which the economy cannot be a self-contained, natural system in which the social good can only be realized because individuals are isolated from one another yet also inter-dependent. What would an economy based on these more fundamental relations among individuals look like? How would it differ from the economy described in the Wealth of Nations?

The Lady Or The Tiger?
In the very olden time there lived a semi-barbaric king, whose ideas, though somewhat polished and sharpened by the progressiveness of distant Latin neighbors, were still large, florid, and untrammeled, as became the half of him which was barbaric. He was a man of exuberant fancy, and, withal, of an authority so irresistible that, at his will, he turned his varied fancies into facts. He was greatly given to self-communing, and, when he and himself agreed upon anything, the thing was done. When every member of his domestic and political systems moved smoothly in its appointed course, his nature was bland and genial; but, whenever there was a little hitch, and some of his orbs got out of their orbits, he was blander and more genial still, for nothing pleased him so much as to make the crooked straight and crush down uneven places.
Among the borrowed notions by which his barbarism had become semified was that of the public arena, in which, by exhibitions of manly and beastly valor, the minds of his subjects were refined and cultured.
But even here the exuberant and barbaric fancy asserted itself. The arena of the king was built, not to give the people an opportunity of hearing the rhapsodies of dying gladiators, nor to enable them to view the inevitable conclusion of a conflict between religious opinions and hungry jaws, but for purposes far better adapted to widen and develop the mental energies of the people. This vast amphitheater, with its encircling galleries, its mysterious vaults, and its unseen passages, was an agent of poetic justice, in which crime was punished, or virtue rewarded, by the decrees of an impartial and incorruptible chance.
When a subject was accused of a crime of sufficient importance to interest the king, public notice was given that on an appointed day the fate of the accused person would be decided in the king's arena, a structure which well deserved its name, for, although its form and plan were borrowed from afar, its purpose emanated solely from the brain of this man, who, every barleycorn a king, knew no tradition to which he owed more allegiance than pleased his fancy, and who ingrafted on every adopted form of human thought and action the rich growth of his barbaric idealism.
When all the people had assembled in the galleries, and the king, surrounded by his court, sat high up on his throne of royal state on one side of the arena, he gave a signal, a door beneath him opened, and the accused subject stepped out into the amphitheater. Directly opposite him, on the other side of the enclosed space, were two doors, exactly alike and side by side. It was the duty and the privilege of the person on trial to walk directly to these doors and open one of them. He could open either door he pleased; he wa.

In “The Road Not Taken,” Robert Frost writes figuratively about the various choices we are compelled to make in life as well as how agonizing and/or regrettable these decisions may become as we progress through this journey.
In
The Bucket List
, Carter and Edward must make crucial decisions regarding how to live out the rest of their lives after their diagnosis.
Explore how these men chose to live life to the fullest during the limited time they had left on this earth, and how they both experienced a transformation of character in regard to the families they’d left behind.
What road(s) do they take throughout the movie, and how do their ‘travels’ reflect the notion that Frost is trying to portray in his poem?
Are they satisfied with the choices they’ve made, do they ‘sigh’ in regret of having taken the ‘road less travelled by,’ or have these options made ‘all the difference’ in a positive fashion.
Again, use examples from the movie and the poem to prove your point.

In the scenarios and resulting simulations, Robert Donovan, a Jurisv.docx
In the scenarios and resulting simulations, Robert Donovan, a Jurisville probation officer, discusses the intricacies of probation. Kris, the defendant, is offered an intensive supervised probation plan to follow. Brennan Brooke, a senior criminologist, discusses the tailoring of the inmate to the appropriate facility. Finally, Orlando Boyce, a sergeant at the fictional Deephall correctional facility, discusses measures that could conceivably make prison life effective and thus decrease the likelihood of recidivism.
Write a three to four (3-4) page paper in which you:
Outline your findings from your review of the file of Kris, for whom Robert is considering probation. State whether or not your results from the file review match Robert’s. Explain two (2) instances in which your views and those of Robert are both similar and different.
Develop a profile of the so-called perfect candidate to participate in an intensive supervised probation program. The profile should contain at least three (3) attributes that you believe make this defendant the perfect candidate for this type of probation.
Defend or critique the strategy of matching the inmate to the correctional facility as a response to the legal concept of cruel and unusual punishment. Provide a rationale for your position with concrete examples.
Defend or critique whether programs and amenities geared to making prison life effective—which run the gamut from hiring extra officers, to counseling and therapy, to building a garden—are time and taxpayer money well spent.
Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment.
Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

In the past weeks, students have learned about leaders and leaders.docx
In the past weeks, students have learned about leaders and leadership. Leaders are social architects who design an organizational environment that encourages a desired range of social behaviors in an effort to meet the organizational goals set forth. Social architects create vision and strategic direction, shape culture and values and lead change.
This assessment is designed in a way that students can demonstrate knowledge of the material covered in weeks 1 – 4 and apply leadership concepts and ideas to a real-world situation. Students will delve into the details of the case study and the course readings but must also look at the situation from a strategic point of view since Dunn wants a sustainable business.
Required Elements to include in Paper #1:
In this assessment, you will act as Joseph Dunn, the leader of Dunn’s Ski Emporium. You want to purchase The Deli, so there is a lot of work to do before entering into the possible addition of a business you know nothing about. As Dunn, you will develop a leadership plan (not a business plan) writing from a leader’s perspective. So, you ask, what it means to write from a leader’s perspective?
Writing from the leader’s perspective means you will approach Dunn’s vision through the people centric viewpoint of the leader. You are focused on how the two businesses will meet the vision through the decision making flow and grouping of people within the organizations. How do you best use the people to meet your vision? Even though it is tempting to write in the first person, a plan is written in the third person in which a story will unfold. Dunn is essentially telling a story of how he is going to purchase the Deli and bring George and the business in as part of the Dunn Ski Emporium. Dunn will need to figure out how he is going to combine these two businesses and use his leadership skills to do so. Remember, you are writing from the leader’s perspective and are not solving problems but literally creating and developing an environment in which problems will be resolved by those who make the business run.
Dunn plans on designing an organizational structure that fulfills his vision, one that he believes George has for The Deli, and one that will fulfill its mission. The organization must be open to change and possess a culture that empowers its employees to follow the vision created. Like all good social architects, the building must start with a design that suites the purpose of the business and seeks to make it the best building for the job. The entire paper is the plan. Students are expected to be creative but realistic in developing pieces of the plan. For example, feel free to assign names and roles to the people in the business. In being creative students may not change the facts in the plan. Dunn will provide the plan to George Atkins once Dunn sits down with him to begin negotiations, so the plan must be polished. Also to make sure questions can easily be addressed, Dunn is go.

In the midsized town of Centervale, there is no more crime than one .docx
In the midsized town of Centervale, there is no more crime than one might expect in a town of a similar size. However, one family found itself in a tough financial situation, which led them to a life of crime.
This was a middle-class family that got caught up in the immediate gratification of crime and cash.
One event led to another. Once the parents changed their lifestyle and range of morals, the children began to consider it the normal way of life. In their teens, the children decided to help their family and entered the life of crime they had become accustomed to.
Officer Matt Johnson met this multiethnic family, known for its criminal activities. He worked undercover for two years to build a relationship with the family. He learned that Rob, the father, began selling drugs because he had lost his job and was the sole wage earner for the family. Once Rob realized how lucrative this line of work was, he included his wife, Mary, in the crime business. They are in "tight" with the community and organized crime, and Mary solicits clients on the Internet for drug distribution.
Rob and Mary have two children, Lucy (aged fifteen) and Junior (aged seventeen), who were slowly incorporated as drug runners for the family. Officer Johnson continued to stay close to the family, and through his interactions with the children and Mary, learned why the family dynamics changed from a stable loving environment to a family full of negative behavior and criminal activity.
Their present life can be described as follows:
The stress of the "job" begins to affect the marital relationship between Rob and Mary as they try to make a living through criminal activities. Rob becomes volatile and begins to abuse Mary and Lucy. Junior watches the domestic violence and sees this as a means of gaining power over the opposite gender so that they do as told. He admires the control his father has over the family and the business.

In the mid-seventeenth century, Dutch scientist Jan Baptista van Hel.docx
In the mid-seventeenth century, Dutch scientist Jan Baptista van Helmont struggled to understand where plants get the material that allows them to grow larger. He planted a willow tree of a given weight in a fixed quantity of soil and then, five years later, weighed both the willow and the soil. He found that the tree had gained 164 pounds during the period but that the soil had lost very little weight. His conclusion was that the willow’s weight gain came solely from the water it absorbed through its roots. If you could be transported back to van Helmont’s time, what would you tell him about the source of the willow’s weight gain?
Your response should be at least 200 words in length. You are required to use at least your textbook as source material for your response. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations.

In the early 20th century, the specter of infectious disease lurke.docx
In the early 20th century, the specter of infectious disease lurked in every city of the world. In India, an estimated eight million people had died of cholera by 1920. The influenza pandemic of 1918–1919 was responsible for the loss of 50 million lives worldwide. In 1917, the average life expectancy in the United States was 51 years; by 1918 it was 39 years. By contrast, in the year 2020, the average U.S. life expectancy is projected to be 79.5 years. In addition to achievements in treating diseases and disseminating health information seen over the last 100 years, your grandparents and great grandparents may not have lived long enough to get the chronic diseases commonly seen in the early 21st century in industrialized nations.
For this Discussion, review the Learning Resources and the World Health Organization websites, and search the Internet for morbidity and mortality data. Consider the changes in causes of morbidity and mortality, both in the United States and globally, and how the application of theory might have influenced those changes.
With these thoughts in mind:
Post 3-4 pages of
explanation for the reversal in morbidity and mortality during the past century, either in the U.S. or globally. Then, explain how applying community health education theories might have contributed to the reduction in morbidity and mortality

In July 2004, the US government filed civil and criminal charges against four former executives of Netherlands based Abhold's subsidiary of US Food Service Inc., an operator of supermarkets such as Bi-Lo and Giant Food Stores. Two of the four executives have pleaded guilty, and the other two were indicted. The alleged widespread fraud included recording completely fictitious revenues for false promotions and persuading vendors to confirm to auditors the false promotional payments. US Attorney David Kelley suggested the fraud was motivated by greed of the executives to reap fat bonuses if the company met certain financial goals. The auditors did not uncover the fraud. Required: 1. Describe the parties who were harmed or helped by this fraud? 2. Explain how greed may have contributed to the fraud. 3. Why do you think the independent auditors failed to catch the fraud? MICROSOFT WORD 1-2 pages, cite APA format.
