Brazil is ranked position 22nd across the globe as the largest export economy as per Economic Complexity index. The country’s top exports are Soybeans, Iron Ore, Crude petroleum, Raw Sugar as well as cars. The major exporting countries are China, United States, Argentina, Netherlands and Japan. It’s main importing nations are China, United States, Argentina, Korea among other nations. The country experienced a 20% shrinking in the trade surplus to a tune of $ 46.67 billion for financial year 2019.
The recent shrank in international trading between Brazil and other nations was driven by strengthening domestic demand hence boosting the country’s economic growth rate to 2.3%. Consequently, the country has had higher imports compared to the exports in the recent times. The nation’s minister of Trade Ferraz allude confidence a balance between imports and exports would be attained.
The surplus were weakest in 2015 standing at $ 19.5 billion as a result of adverse economic recession in the country. In 2019, the demand for the Brazilian commodities faced the slowest global growth within the decade, several uncertainintites concerning the United States- China trade disputes. Moreover, the trading activity experienced political as well as economic turmoil in the latin America.
Argentina had a renewed slide into the economic as well as political crisis that significantly reduced the exports for manutactured goods to a tune of $ 5.2 billion in 2019. The trade actibity was also slowed by the outbreak of t6he African swine fever in the China market hence reducing the soy exports to a tune of $ 6.7 billion.
Brazil enjoys a comparative advantage in the international trade compared to other countries. For instance, United States has an absolute advantage in the production of the computers but Brazil enjoys a competitive advantage in the sector. Brazil has offered subsides to the computers manufactures to close to two-thirds the costs of producing in the United States. Consequently, the favorable terms attract potential investors to produce computers for ultimate export at a relatively cheaper costs of production.
The Brazilian foreign trade policy allows for increased imports while reducing on exportable products. At the beginning of 1990s, the country marked a significant shift in the foreign trade policy which included the liberation of the foreign trade attained through the reduction in import tariffs as well as the full implementation of MERCOSUR with primary objective of tackling globalization related problems. Consequently, the country was to increase the imports while attaining the balance of trade in 1996 of $ 5.5 billion and in 1997 at $ 8.4 billion. The country through the ministry of trade seeks not only to attain the bal.
This article aims to demonstrate that the stagflation that affects the Brazilian economy will only be overcome with the end of Brazil's dependence on imports of inputs, components and products whose rising prices are mainly responsible for the increase in inflation in the country. The term stagflation comes from the combination of the words “stagnation” and “inflation”. In Brazil, high inflation and the stagnation of economic activity characterize this situation well. Brazil's general economic activity is too weak to be the main driver of pressures on domestic prices and generate inflation. In Brazil, inflation is not due to internal demand but to costs because it is being caused by shocks in the global supply of inputs, components and imported products whose prices interfere with domestic prices in Brazil. The lack of control of inflation in Brazil today is basically the result of the strong presence in the Brazilian economy of foreign companies that are closely linked to global suppliers linked to them of inputs, components and products whose price inflation is transferred to the Brazilian domestic market. This situation calls into question the logic of trying to control inflation by raising interest rates, which would only apply in an economy without external interference, which is not the case in the Brazilian economy. All of this leads to the conclusion that, not only will inflation not be controlled, but also the Brazilian government will not be able to promote the country's economic and social development without overcoming its economic and technological dependence on the outside world.

How to Approach the Case Study Paper (Module 6)
In light of the background reading from Wright, you need to consider the primary sources on African Americans. I’ve provided three guided questions to assist you with your analysis:
1. 2. 3.
You don’t need answer each of these questions in turn in your paper (this isn’t a worksheet to complete), but overall are the things you should consider in your paper.
Here are some suggestions for successful papers:
1. Identify the central question of the case study (see above).
2. Use the primary sources (not the secondary background) to answer the central question.
3. Use the secondary source (Wright) to provide context for the primary sources, where needed. Wright can help fill in the gaps between the primary sources or to help explain issues that might appear in the primary sources, but the strongest papers will use “primarily” the primary sources to build their argument.
4. Make sure your paper is well organized. It should have an introduction that addresses the central question. It should have organized paragraphs that address each central issue in turn and uses the primary sources as evidence. And it should have a conclusion.
5. Don’t summarize the primary sources, beginning at the beginning and moving forward, but use the primary sources to answer the question and make an argument.
Overall, what impressions do African Americans and European American
express about each other in the readings and portraits?
What factors represent dominance or submission, respect or contempt, trust
or distrust between black and white colonists?
How did enslaved Africans and European colonists adapt to the insistent

Brazil’s International Trade Regulations
The international trade patterns and compositions started to witness many shifts at the dawn of the 21ST Century, especially due to the evolution in the process of economic evolution. Consequently, the scope of cross-border trading has become more complex and wider. The implication is a multi-layered relational framework that links foreign direct investment, the support services of core activities of companies, and international trade as a result of fragmentation of production in terms of tasks and its global value chains’ geographic dispersion.
Consequently, the traditionally more closed Brazil’s economic policies have begun to shift. Brazil began to open its trade and investment regime policies since its last economic depression and recession about six years ago (Oliveira, 2017). The result include a decentralized but more market-driven environment via prices and state monopolies deregulation, privatization and privatization, and liberalization of investments.

However, it is not the highest internet in South America. It is said that the average cost of 20 hours of Internet access is twenty-two dollars with fifty cents. It is very cheap compared to the United States. The senior IT education administrator in Honduras quoted, “The future depends on technology, and if we don’t lead our students toward it, we would be failing”. Honduras does a great job on trying to promote technology and try to innovate through the years.

Exporters are not sure, however, that this time road conditions will be much better.

The coronavirus crisis reveals the importance of national self sufficiencyFernando Alcoforado
The coronavirus crisis finds Brazil devastated as a country threatened with having collapsed its health system and unable to produce inputs for the manufacture of drugs, respirators and even masks to protect health professionals and the population. Even the United States today is a good example of the scarcity that many countries face because it transferred many of its industries to China. In New York, where the situation of the epidemic is dramatic, everything from personal protective equipment to respirators is lacking. Today, as in much of the world, many governments lament the lack of development projects that make the country self-sufficient because they have left the free market to make decisions such as closing factories in the country and taking them to places where profit margins would be higher, such as China, India and Southeast Asian countries. This stance was dictated by the vision that started to prevail in the world from 1990 onwards, that of globalization and the opening of markets according to the neoliberal ideology.

2.3 - CASE ANALYSIS: FUNDING THE RAILROADS

Abstract
Funding the Transcontinental Railroad in the 19th century was a major issue for the United States
Government. There were several possible courses of action. Two of these are included here as
well as the problems and advantages of each. In conclusion, the rationale for government funding
is presented.

2.3 - Case Analysis: Funding the Railroads
I. Summary
The speculative benefits of a transcontinental railroad were easy enough to articulate:
there was fertile land out west for migrants to farm, gold and silver to be mined in California,
and of course it was a matter of national pride (Ambrose, 2000). According to Ambrose (2000),
the whole country was clamoring for it to be done, yet few were crazy enough to invest as “the
risks of financial failure and ruin were huge” (Union Pacific, n.d. para. 3). Ultimately, funding
was provided by the United States government via the Pacific Railroad Act of 1862, “mostly in
the form of land grants to the railroads; the railroads would sell the unused land to fund the
construction” (Ambrose, 2000, p. 47). Much of the land was all but worthless at the time, but it
was assumed that as transportation cost were reduced, the land would become more valuable
(Garrison & Levinson, 2014; Ambrose, 2000).
II. Problem
The problem is multifaceted. Unfortunately for the railroad companies, they could not
sell most of the land until after the railroad was built, and they could not build the railroad
without the proceeds of the land sales (Ambrose, 2000). Some relief came with the Pacific
Railroad Act of 1864 which doubled land grants and (more importantly) provided the ability to
borrow against the land grants by issuing bonds (Union Pacific, n.d.). However, even with
doubled bonds and the ability to borrow against them, the transcontinental railroad had major
financing difficulties (Ambrose, 2000; Union Pacific, n.d.).
On the other hand, Illinois representative E.B. Washburn (as quoted in Ambrose, 2000)
called the 1864 bill “the most monstrous and flagrant attempt to overreach the government and
2.3 - CASE ANALYSIS: FUNDING THE RAILROADS
4
the people…” (p. 94), charging that the Wall Street elites pushing for funding were only out to
profit off the public (Ambrose, 2000). Eglin Air Force Base Archaeologist Benjamin Aubuchon
(personal communication, August 17, 2016) affirms that while the Pacific Railroad Acts were
instrumental in building the transcontinental railroad, many railroad corporations in the
Southeastern U.S. were formed with no intention of following through.

Abstract
A concise summary of each section of your paper, using up to 250 words. Note that you do not
indent the first line.
50 CHARACTER VERSION OF TITLE IN CAPS 3
Title of Paper
Your first paragraph (or two) should be an introduction to the broad topic of your paper.
Many people write the introduction after writing the rest of the paper! Information in your
introduction should provide a foundation for the hypotheses of your experiment. In your
introduction, your goal is to convince readers that your research topic is (a) interesting and (b)
important. You may choose to begin your paper with a story, quotation, or relevant statistics
about your topic. You can think of your paper as a story about your dependent variable.
You generally will present broad background information about the topic in the first
paragraph of so. You will include at least two sections in the body of your paper. You will
summarize relevant information from prior research studies in the first section, which we refer to
as the “literature review” portion of a paper. You will present your detailed research proposal in
the second section (details are provided below). Some overall formatting rules to keep in mind
are: (a) use Times New Roman font, size 12; and (b) double-space the entire paper.
Information about the Literature-review Section
Content. In the first section of your paper, you should provide a literature review of prior
research and theory that relates to your experiment. The information you present should be from
diverse sources (e.g., journal articles, book chapters, web sites). Make sure it is clear to the
reader how information is related to your experimental hypotheses or procedure. So, if you are
using their method, then talk about their method; if they found similar results, talk about their
results; if they operationally defined their DV like you want to, then talk about that, etc. To make
this section of your paper effective, you should explicitly relate information from various sources
to each other and to your proposed research. After you discuss past research, you should make it
50 CHARACTER VERSION OF TITLE IN CAPS 4
clear how your study is the next logical one, that your study improves upon past studies, that
your study fills obvious holes left by the others.
Citation of sources. You should cite references throughout the body of your paper.
There are two ways to cite a source. The authors can be listed in the sentence, with the year in
parentheses: “The Davis (2001) web site presents information about American Psychological
Association (APA) style rules.” Alternatively, the citation can be entirely in parentheses: “The

After negotiating a path full of obstacles in 2012, mainly put up by the economic problems of the major world economies, Brazilian exporters have started the year hoping to recover the ground they lost last year, when foreign sales fell by 5.3% and the trade surplus plunged 34.7%. Exporters are not sure, however, that this time road conditions will be much better.

The coronavirus crisis reveals the importance of national self sufficiencyFernando Alcoforado
The coronavirus crisis finds Brazil devastated as a country threatened with having collapsed its health system and unable to produce inputs for the manufacture of drugs, respirators and even masks to protect health professionals and the population. Even the United States today is a good example of the scarcity that many countries face because it transferred many of its industries to China. In New York, where the situation of the epidemic is dramatic, everything from personal protective equipment to respirators is lacking. Today, as in much of the world, many governments lament the lack of development projects that make the country self-sufficient because they have left the free market to make decisions such as closing factories in the country and taking them to places where profit margins would be higher, such as China, India and Southeast Asian countries. This stance was dictated by the vision that started to prevail in the world from 1990 onwards, that of globalization and the opening of markets according to the neoliberal ideology.

Abstract
Funding the Transcontinental Railroad in the 19th century was a major issue for the United States
Government. There were several possible courses of action. Two of these are included here as
well as the problems and advantages of each. In conclusion, the rationale for government funding
is presented.

2.3 - Case Analysis: Funding the Railroads
I. Summary
The speculative benefits of a transcontinental railroad were easy enough to articulate:
there was fertile land out west for migrants to farm, gold and silver to be mined in California,
and of course it was a matter of national pride (Ambrose, 2000). According to Ambrose (2000),
the whole country was clamoring for it to be done, yet few were crazy enough to invest as “the
risks of financial failure and ruin were huge” (Union Pacific, n.d. para. 3). Ultimately, funding
was provided by the United States government via the Pacific Railroad Act of 1862, “mostly in
the form of land grants to the railroads; the railroads would sell the unused land to fund the
construction” (Ambrose, 2000, p. 47). Much of the land was all but worthless at the time, but it
was assumed that as transportation cost were reduced, the land would become more valuable
(Garrison & Levinson, 2014; Ambrose, 2000).
II. Problem
The problem is multifaceted. Unfortunately for the railroad companies, they could not
sell most of the land until after the railroad was built, and they could not build the railroad
without the proceeds of the land sales (Ambrose, 2000). Some relief came with the Pacific
Railroad Act of 1864 which doubled land grants and (more importantly) provided the ability to
borrow against the land grants by issuing bonds (Union Pacific, n.d.). However, even with
doubled bonds and the ability to borrow against them, the transcontinental railroad had major
financing difficulties (Ambrose, 2000; Union Pacific, n.d.).
On the other hand, Illinois representative E.B. Washburn (as quoted in Ambrose, 2000)
called the 1864 bill “the most monstrous and flagrant attempt to overreach the government and
2.3 - CASE ANALYSIS: FUNDING THE RAILROADS
4
the people…” (p. 94), charging that the Wall Street elites pushing for funding were only out to
profit off the public (Ambrose, 2000). Eglin Air Force Base Archaeologist Benjamin Aubuchon
(personal communication, August 17, 2016) affirms that while the Pacific Railroad Acts were
instrumental in building the transcontinental railroad, many railroad corporations in the
Southeastern U.S. were formed with no intention of following through.

Title of Paper
Your first paragraph (or two) should be an introduction to the broad topic of your paper.
Many people write the introduction after writing the rest of the paper! Information in your
introduction should provide a foundation for the hypotheses of your experiment. In your
introduction, your goal is to convince readers that your research topic is (a) interesting and (b)
important. You may choose to begin your paper with a story, quotation, or relevant statistics
about your topic. You can think of your paper as a story about your dependent variable.
You generally will present broad background information about the topic in the first
paragraph of so. You will include at least two sections in the body of your paper. You will
summarize relevant information from prior research studies in the first section, which we refer to
as the “literature review” portion of a paper. You will present your detailed research proposal in
the second section (details are provided below). Some overall formatting rules to keep in mind
are: (a) use Times New Roman font, size 12; and (b) double-space the entire paper.
Information about the Literature-review Section
Content. In the first section of your paper, you should provide a literature review of prior
research and theory that relates to your experiment. The information you present should be from
diverse sources (e.g., journal articles, book chapters, web sites). Make sure it is clear to the
reader how information is related to your experimental hypotheses or procedure. So, if you are
using their method, then talk about their method; if they found similar results, talk about their
results; if they operationally defined their DV like you want to, then talk about that, etc. To make
this section of your paper effective, you should explicitly relate information from various sources
to each other and to your proposed research. After you discuss past research, you should make it

Running Head: YOUTH IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM
YOUTH IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM 2
Introduction
Biblical point of view relies on the scriptures of God. The bible is a Christian holy book that gives the moral compass for what Christians engage in, whether in action or utterances. Through modern technologies and other methods, the secularized view of the criminal justice system in America has been influenced by the biblical concept.
Gaps and Omissions
Comprehending juvenile criminal justice, according to the biblical worldview, is to understand the leading cause of crime and human iniquities. Sin is a component of a biblical worldview. All crimes are treated as a sin, but not all sins are viewed as crimes. The juvenile criminal justice system would not exist if there were no crimes (Laurence, 2012). According to sinful human nature, crime always exists; hence the juvenile criminal justice system should be established to help in curbing crime.
The literature is mainly focused on the need to have a separate criminal justice system for juveniles but does not justify the punishment that juveniles ought to receive for crimes they commit. The literature gives detailed views on the topic, but it fails to conclusively articulate what should be done to reprimand crimes committed by youth. The bible is the book of Deuteronomy chapter 16:19 “do not pervert justice or show partiality ...” God is expecting impartiality those who serve distributive justice regardless of age, social status, or gender.
The biblical aim of justice is restoration, as illustrated in the stories such as Jacob and Esau. Human beings are equal in the eyes of the lord, meaning that justice has to be severed equally, although the literature focuses on separate justice for juveniles and adults. God created all human beings with equal value, but the literature seems to favor and try to treat juveniles who have committed similar crimes with adults differently. The literature does not mention that committing crimes against other people is committing a crime against God’s greatest creation.
Biblical Integration
Today youth are facing various risks of being involved in many forms of crimes that end up exposing them to the criminal justice system. Therefore, Christian adults are called upon to guide and bring significant transformation in the lives of the youth. Christians are called upon by God to exhibit unconditional love for juveniles. The church should advocate for fairness and justice for the young. Although some youth have a criminal record, the juvenile justice system's main goal should be to rehabilitate them. These youth can learn and grow from their mistakes. For Christians to create a just society, they should always restore a convicted offender back to society so that they can be integrat.

Seminar in Security Management (2XXX)
Vulnerability Assessment: Era Church, City, State
Site Selection and Rationale
This vulnerability assessment was conducted at Era Church (“Era”), 429 State Street, City, State 90909, on the dates of September 25 - 28, 2017, and was followed up with subsequent interviews of relevant church personnel. The site was chosen for multiple reasons including the potential for a violent incident such as a mass shooting, and the potential for fraud or other financial crime. A vulnerability is defined as “weakness[ ] or gap[ ] in a security program that can be exploited by threats to gain unauthorized access to an asset” (Threat Analysis Group, 2017). Threats are events or persons, such as a natural disaster, fire, criminal act, or terrorist incident, that can exploit a vulnerability (Threat Analysis Group, 2017). A vulnerability assessment “evaluates all opportunities that may be exploited by a threat” and through a detailed process identifies areas where vulnerabilities can be mitigated to lower the risk (DiMarino, 2017). Risk is defined as “the potential for loss, damage or destruction of an asset as a result of a threat exploiting a vulnerability” (Threat Analysis Group, 2017). The vulnerability assessment at Era Church covers multiple areas to include physical, operational, technological, and financial vulnerabilities. While Era has taken measures to mitigate vulnerabilities, there are some recommendations in each area that could further mitigate risk.
Religion is a contentious and polarizing topic in the United States, which makes churches prime targets for groups or individuals who want to make a statement. Perhaps the most infamous church shooting in recent memory is when white supremacist Dylann Roof shot and killed nine African-American church members of Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, SC, on June 17, 2015 (Blinder & Sack, 2017). Roof brought a .45-caliber semiautomatic handgun into the church in a waist pouch, and attended the Bible study for approximately 40 minutes before he shot and killed the members using seven magazines and over 70 rounds (Blinder & Sack, 2017). This incident is just one of many violent incidents at places of worship. There is no sure-fire way to completely avoid incidents such as this shooting, but there are steps that can be taken to help minimize or avoid a large-scale incident.
In addition to the threat of violence, churches are also prime targets for fraud, both from internal and external threats. For instance, the Center for the Study of Global Christianity reports that in 2014 churches lost an estimated $39 billion to internal financial fraud (Thomason, 2016). Theft and embezzlement of church funds are two significant risks faced by faith-based institutions. (Thomason, 2016). In addition to an ins.

The author note is typically used in manuscripts that will be submitted for publication. The author note may provide additional information regarding the affiliations of the authors. It is also used to acknowledge those who contributed to the study, but not at the level of authorship. Lastly, the author note typically includes contact information for at least one author (see APA guide p. 24, section 2.03 & sample paper on p. 41.)
Remember to format the author note using block format (no indents, left or right justification).
Abstract
The abstract is a brief (usually 100-150 words) summary of your experiment. What was your question? What did you do? What did you find? What is your conclusion/interpretation? Try taking the lead sentence or two (but not word-for-word) from your introduction, results and discussion and integrate them into your abstract. Additionally, add a sentence or two describing your procedure, especially if it differs from those typically used to study the phenomenon.
The abstract is page two. Nothing goes on this page except the abstract. Center the word "Abstract" on the page and format in bold-face type. Do not put the title of your paper on this page. Begin typing the abstract on the line directly below the heading.
Notice that the abstract is not indented, and is written in block format. It is also double-spaced. Typically, the abstract is one paragraph in length.
Keywords: type a few words (or phrases) that would be useful if someone was searching for a study similar to this one. For example, if you studied reaction time in a card sorting task your key words might be “card sorting,” “response time” and decision making. (Note: the word “keyword” is italicized and indented.)
Title
On the third page, you typically begin your introduction. Notice that the word "INTRODUCTION" does not appear at the top of the page as many of the other headings do. The title used is the same one that appears on the cover page.
The first paragraph should contain a description of the phenomena that you are studying. Make a general statement about the phenomenon and how it is typically measured. Also, talk about how one might manipulate or influence the outcome (i.e, what variables could potentially influence the results).
Subsequent research should describe previous research that examined the phenomena. These studies serve to provide the rationale for your study. What did the researchers do? What did they find? What did they conclude?
Do this for each study cited. Typically, one or more paragraphs are necessary to explain each study. Try to make the transition smooth from one paragraph to the next. Use transition words (see SIGNAL WORDS hand.

Virtual organizations refer to organizations whose employees are geographically spread and connect through phone, internet or email (Hebert, 2017). The concept of a virtual organization utilizes technology from a management perspective in which employees engage in different tasks to achieve the organization’s objectives. There are various benefits associated with virtual organizations. First, the owner of the business incurs lower overhead costs because a virtual organization needs no office space, furniture or paying for utilities (Shamsuzzoha & Helo, 2017). For example, an online education business only needs tutors and students. Secondly, employees are more satisfied due to the comfort of working from their own houses, for instance, tutors in a virtual institution can lecture students at the comfort of their homes. Lastly, the owner of the business can expand the business without having to worry about moving the many employees to a larger office.
However, a virtual organization is prone to many risks that hinder its effectiveness in terms of achieving its objectives. One of the risks is lack of cohesiveness in the organization. This is brought by the fact that the employees are spread and thus difficult to call for an emergency meeting in case an urgent need arises (Wohlers & Hertel, 2017). Secondly, there is a risk to reputation for customers may not perceive a virtual organization as a real company. Lastly, lack of social interaction discourages teamwork. Despite all these, there are various opportunities associated with virtual organizations such as the opportunity to reach the vast majority of the customers as well as an opportunity to change the strategy used by the business easily and for less cost.

In APA style, the introduction of the essay should begin here, followed by the body paragraphs. APA is typically a more formal style than most students are accustomed to using in a writing course. For the purposes of this course, the level of formality should be based on the assignment. For example: APA asks that students always write in third person (avoiding words such as I, me, we, our(s), you, your(s), etc). Certain rhetorical modes, however, don’t cater well to third person (narrative and reflection writing are two such examples). In these situations, first person (I, me, we, our(s)) may be, and should be employed; second person (you, your(s)) should be avoided in all academic writing unless an essay is specifically designed to relay instructions (there are few assignments that will employ second person).
Like any essay, students should make sure their essays are formatted with one inch margins, with their text exclusively in Times New Roman 12-point font, and students should double space their lines. This document can be downloaded and used as a template wherein students may simply replace names, titles, dates, and so on with their own information.
The final page of this document will demonstrate a References page. If a student uses information from any source, that source must be identified within the text and listed on a References page. These citations should be listed in alphabetical order and, opposite to the way a normal paragraph works, the first line should be flush left and each following line should be tabbed in. Though there is really no substitute for a good APA Style Manual, students can refer to a citation generator such as www.citationmachine.net to ensure proper formatting. Any further questions should be directed to the instructor of the course.

BUS 325: Global Human Resource Management

Onboarding process is a usual process in the recent past in many business organizations. Onboarding seeks to ensure that new employees are easily embedded into the systems as fast as possible. New employees can adjust much more comfortable when they have better employees to ease them in. It helps new employee recruits to adjust to the social and performances. It is mainly aimed at maximizing success. Various vital steps need to be followed in ensuring that new recruits are effectively realigned into the organizational structure.
This is an essential procedure in organizational performances it ensures that new recruits take the shortest time possible to settle and establish better relations with other employees. It is the best way that a business organization can ensure that new recruits concentrate on the primary purpose of the organization rather than focus on how they can settle in their new working environment and social environment.
The onboarding process is an exceptionally chronological process where a beginner follows a given order of events in the organization. The first step is to study the new employee characteristics. It involves understanding their character and their ability to be integrated into the company operations smoothly. This process is very significant because the company can know quite earlier the behavioral adjustment that a given new employee can make to become successful.
The next step in the process is the deployment of newcomer tactics. Within this stage, the new employee develops a relationship with the existing employees within the organization to have a conducive business environment. The next step in the onboarding process is the readjustment of new employee tactics and behavior to conform to organizational culture and be in a position to work effectively towards the achievement of the set organizational goals.
One of the most critical elements of onboarding in a global environment is studying and understanding the characteristics of the new hire to be in a position to know how easy the new recruit will be able to adjust to the organizational culture and its operations. Another vital element in onboarding is the creation of an understanding between new recruits and the already existing employees within the organization to formulate a formidable team that can propel the organization to new heights.

Abstract
This paper will discuss psychology and Christianity: Two disciplines that seem to be difficult subjects when discussing an integrated approach. There are some people who believe that, psychology has become one completely different subject than Christianity and both at times have lost all connection with the other. In addition, there are integrative models of disciplinary that think psychology is strictly a science and Christianity is solely based on faith and religion and the two cannot be integrated together. After further review of evidence, it seems that the integration approach for both disciplines are given by God and that they both should be integrated to create a more understanding of humanity. The focus of this paper is to describe the Allies” model and how it relates to integrating two disciplines; psychology and Christian faith. In addition, the strengths and limitations of the Allies model will be discussed. Also included are definitions of both subjects and views on different approaches towards this matter. Scriptures will be added that correspond with this approach, as well as, several factors that lead to the integration process of both disciplines. After further studies of the evidence of various disciplines, it seems like the “Allies” model best fits the relationship between psychology method and Christianity.
Integration between Christian faith and Psychology
Webster dictionary states that psychology is, “The science of mind and behavior and the study of mind and behavior in relation to a particular field of knowledge or activity” (Merriam-Webster, 2017). Whereas, Christianity is defined, “A religion based on the person and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, or its beliefs and practices” (Merriam-Webster, 2017). After the evidence from various disciplines of study, it seems that a person’s foundation is based on what we see and how we know. This leads a person to believe that it is crucial for Christian counseling to use both psychology and Christianity. There are several different methods that psychological theory and science use to gain knowledge. These are: “Logic,” “Empiricism,” “Revelation,” and “Hermeneutic” (Entwistle, 2015. P. 97). Whereas, experiments in psychology use deductive logic when testing a hypothesis. Inductive reasoning uses experiments that show a correlation by manipulating the variables. For instance, we use science to find out if a statement is true or false. An idea is a suggestion upon which an argument is based or from which a conclusion is drawn. For.

LETTER OF ADVICE 2
Dear Cassy and Jeremy,
Congratulations on your recent engagement. It’s such a great time in your life. My wife
and I have been married almost 8 years. I also just took a class on interpersonal communications
and would love to share with you some of what I learned in addition to some personal
experiences.2 Knowing how your partner communicates and uses verbal and non-verbal
communication is important in a relationship and will help in reducing miscommunications.
Know going in to your marriage that there will be conflict but learning how to manage or resolve
those conflicts will help in a successful marriage. I know you both love each other very much
and that will help get you through those difficult times.3
Interpersonal Relationships4
Interpersonal relationships are part of our everyday life. Getting married forms one of
the most important interpersonal relationships you will ever have. But with any relationship there
are barriers to effectively maintain those interactions. Our self-concept is developed through our
interpersonal relationships and changes over time. Emotional intelligence also has a great impact
on how effective a relationship will be. The amount an individual discloses of themselves in a
relationship can vary depending on the type of relationship and can have both negative and
positive effects. Interpersonal conflict is probably one of the most challenging aspects of a
relationship and managing these conflicts effectively is important to the relationship’s wellbeing.
2 While we usually discourage people from using the first person, this essay asks that the student write a personal

Executive Summary
As with any new technology, risks can arise in e-commerce that is not common to those traditional “brick-and-mortar” stores. A huge concern for e-commerce applications is credit/debit card use. Major damage can be done to an organization if the credit/debit card transactions are not secured in terms of financial fraud, loss of consumer confidence, identity theft, or legal regulations.
Online Goodies provides custom promotional gifts to corporate customers and is an Internet-based company. Some of their products include mugs, computer accessories, t-shirts, and office décor.

Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Brazil Historical Trade Patterns
Prof.: Dr. Kim, Rachel
Bruna Martins
Southern States University
Brazil is ranked position 22nd across the globe as the largest
export economy as per Economic Complexity index. The
country’s top exports are Soybeans, Iron Ore, Crude petroleum,
Raw Sugar as well as cars. The major exporting countries are
China, United States, Argentina, Netherlands and Japan. It’s
main importing nations are China, United States, Argentina,
Korea among other nations. The country experienced a 20%
shrinking in the trade surplus to a tune of $ 46.67 billion for
financial year 2019.
The recent shrank in international trading between Brazil and
other nations was driven by strengthening domestic demand
2. hence boosting the country’s economic growth rate to 2.3%.
Consequently, the country has had higher imports compared to
the exports in the recent times. The nation’s minister of Trade
Ferraz allude confidence a balance between imports and exports
would be attained.
The surplus were weakest in 2015 standing at $ 19.5 billion as a
result of adverse economic recession in the country. In 2019,
the demand for the Brazilian commodities faced the slowest
global growth within the decade, several uncertainintites
concerning the United States- China trade disputes. Moreover,
the trading activity experienced political as well as economic
turmoil in the latin America.
Argentina had a renewed slide into the economic as well as
political crisis that significantly reduced the exports for
manutactured goods to a tune of $ 5.2 billion in 2019. The trade
actibity was also slowed by the outbreak of t6he African swine
fever in the China market hence reducing the soy exports to a
tune of $ 6.7 billion.
Brazil enjoys a comparative advantage in the international trade
compared to other countries. For instance, United States has an
absolute advantage in the production of the computers but
Brazil enjoys a competitive advantage in the sector. Brazil has
offered subsides to the computers manufactures to close to two-
thirds the costs of producing in the United States. Consequently,
the favorable terms attract potential investors to produce
computers for ultimate export at a relatively cheaper costs of
production.
The Brazilian foreign trade policy allows for increased imports
while reducing on exportable products. At the beginning of
1990s, the country marked a significant shift in the foreign
trade policy which included the liberation of the foreign trade
attained through the reduction in import tariffs as well as the
full implementation of MERCOSUR with primary objective of
tackling globalization related problems. Consequently, the
country was to increase the imports while attaining the balance
of trade in 1996 of $ 5.5 billion and in 1997 at $ 8.4 billion.
3. The country through the ministry of trade seeks not only to
attain the balance of trade but also improve on the level of
imports and exports of raw materials as well as capital goods.
Therefore, the country geared on the selective imports to create
a modern industrial sector in the country.
The country has a significant volume of direct foreign
investment as evidenced in 1997 it was at $ 17 billion.
However, the county’s foreign investment increased by $ 9.3
billion as in December 2019.
The Brazil foreign market has its own challenges and
opportunities concerning the marketing of the products. The
Export trade does not receive adequate support to accelerate its
economic growth. The sector’s profitability reduced greatly as
well as lack of credit facilities to the traders. The country faces
adverse corruption activities hence hindering countries across
the globe such as U.S. among others trading with Brazil.
Brazil’s Currency fell in value hence assisted greatly in the
export growth in the country. Moreover, more firms are also
interested in investing in the country to drive the foreign
business sector.

ACOs are continuing to gain momentum as the model to be
implemented. As health care leaders, we will need to gain a
better understanding of this model and how it will impact all
5. parties (payers, providers, and other health care institutions).
More importantly, we will need to understand the mechanisms
of this model and the reimbursement models associated with
ACOs and their ability to mitigate risk.
What contracting methodology will likely be effective in an
ACO environment? How will this methodology mitigate risk to
ACO participants?

Brazil’s International Trade Regulations
The international trade patterns and compositions started to
witness many shifts at the dawn of the 21ST Century, especially
due to the evolution in the process of economic evolution.
Consequently, the scope of cross-border trading has become
more complex and wider. The implication is a multi-layered
relational framework that links foreign direct investment, the
support services of core activities of companies, and
international trade as a result of fragmentation of production in
terms of tasks and its global value chains’ geographic
dispersion.
Consequently, the traditionally more closed Brazil’s economic
policies have begun to shift. Brazil began to open its trade and
investment regime policies since its last economic depression
and recession about six years ago (Oliveira, 2017). The result
include a decentralized but more market-driven environment via
prices and state monopolies deregulation, privatization and
privatization, and liberalization of investments. Furthermore,
the World Trade Organization (WTO) reports that greater
flexibility and improved resource allocation have enabled the
Brazilian economy to deal with unfavorable internal and
external shocks thus facilitate a rapid financial recovery (World
Trade Organization, 2000).
The transformation has come with much opportunity. Market-set
exchange rate has enabled the country to decrease, or alleviate
measures that initially caused the restriction of supposed
exports or imports and create a definitive departure from all
forms of formerly protective trade policies. The progressive
policies have fostered an undistorted balance between export
and large domestic offer, and achieve and sustain greater
economic growth through its offer of a positive strategy towards
the realization of such opportunities.
The foreign direct investment (FDI) FOR Brazil has continued
to exponentially increase since1996, surpassing US$30 billion
7. in 1999 due to its stimulation of privatization (World Trade
Organization, 2000). Brazil’s internal market is very attractive,
has reflects a better share to MERCOSUR markets’ access, and
has an enhanced policy environments’ market orientation. Brazil
remains the largest country in Latin America, and the second
largest in the Western Hemisphere, only after the United States
of America. Furthermore, it remains the largest exporter of
several agricultural products and produce in the world,
including sugar, orange juice, and coffee. The European Union
(EU), MERCOSUR (including Argentina and Uruguay) are the
leading markets for Brazilian products, while the leading
suppliers to Brazilian markets include Argentina, United States,
and EU, in increasing order (World Bank Organization, 2020).
For instance, according to the US Census Bureau, Brazil has had
a net import and export totals of US$ 181,230,498.36 and
US$239,887,754.93, respectively, thus leading to a positive
trade balance of US$ 58,657,256.58 (in thousands), with the US
(United States Census Bureau, 2019).
Foreign trade in Brazil is governed by many resolutions,
decrees, provisional measures, and laws which are also
frequently amended. However, international trade regulations in
the country are very complex (Ayub, 2017; Novatrade, 2016).
Non-residents are exclusively taxed at source based in their
Brazilian-sourced income whereas residents the taxation of
residents is based on their worldwide income (International
Living, 2020). The main trade instrument in Brazil is tariffs
computed through a plan which converges or leans the Common
External Tariff (CET) of MERCOSUR (World Trade
Organization, 2000). Furthermore, the country adopted a
computerized system for customs clearance, or SISCOMEX to
simplify its custom clearance (Australian Trade and Investment
Commission, 2020). The other import policies include the
contingency measures like anti-dumping laws and automatic
import licenses for trade law monitoring and statistical
purposes.
Brazil regularly uses export promotion policies. The practice
8. aids the country to offset its domestic inefficiencies like
overvalued exchange rates, cascading tax system, inefficient
financial intermediation, and poor infrastructure. As a founding
member of the WTO, Brazil upholds the five basic principles of
global trading systems, including safety valves, transparency,
enforceable and binding commitments, reciprocity, and non-
discrimination. However, the European Commission has
recently reported that Brazil has resorted to several potentially
trade-restrictive measures.
Its domestic market is protected using applied customs duty
averaging at 13.5% (European Commission, 2019). The tariff
and non-tariff barriers inhibits open and stable regulatory
environment for foreign traders and investors. However, Brazil
sees the trade protection policies to cause the consumption of
Brazilian products and produce within the local market
(International Monetary Fund, 2019). The country is however
opening up and implementing newer international trade
regulations that would open up the Brazilian market to more
global trade.
