...the war, he knew how important it was to have secret agencies analyze and protect the new country. The use of secret agents, counterintelligence, and the clandestine paramilitary, have been used extensively to set up elaborate deceptions, gather sensitive information, and coordinate operations to cause sabotage towards other adversaries or countries that wished to cause us harm throughout the history of our country (Revolutionary Ideas, 2007). Although President Washington set a growing foundation of creating and fostering the need and use of foreign intelligence, it was President Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) that helped combined the efforts of the state and war departments to coordinate efforts on a combined government-wide level (History of the CIA, 2007). The events of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 prompted FDR to make a change to all government intelligence. FDR asked World War I veteran William J. Donovan to draft a new plan for an intelligence service that would combine all those departments’ efforts and make sure they were on the same levels of communication (History of the CIA, 2007). Donovan became the new Coordinator of Information (COI). This was the United States’ first peacetime, non-departmental intelligence organization. It was called the Office of Strategic Services, or, OSS. World War II changed some of OSS’s original abilities and strategic operations. When the war started, OSS was...

...Running Head: Welfare State in America Welfare State Abstract In 1977, then Budget Director for the state of New York, Peter Goldmark, offered his thoughts regarding social welfare programs. “Welfare”, he said, “is hated by those who administer it, mistrusted by those who pay for it and held in contempt by those that recieve it.” Goldmark was certainly not alone in his assessment of social welfare programs. Indeed while the notion of using public funds to help the destitue get back on their feet in a noble concept for left-leaning idealists, in practical application, it has generated more controversy from both sides of the American political aisle than it has addressed poverty in America. This contorvery has become more heated in light of the two recessions and the housing collapse of late 2009. For this research paper, I will be going the history of Welfare in America. The purpose of this research paper is to look at how and why welfare became a policy and how it has changed since its inception. The sources that I have used are from published literature. In conclusion, the reader will have better knowledge on welfare, the history and changes. I first became interested in the subject of Welfare after working for the Ohio Department of Jobs and Family services; where I met with families and processed their eligibilty for: Food Stamps, Ohio Works First (cash assistence) and Medicaid.

...The Great Depression of the United States was a key turning point in American history. Politicians on the right, businesses, and all of their supporters had failed to provide methods in which the majority of Americans could enjoy methods of prosperity and stability. The major economic slump that started in 1929 brought about massive social unrest among millions in the United States and in other industrialized nations. Because of the massive changes that people suddenly were experiencing in employment and economic stability, the political landscape and social thought on common rights in the United States naturally began down a course of liberal evolution. The citizens of the United States were able to personally experience the impact that social...

...Chapter-01 Introduction 1.1 Background of the study The term “Islamic banking” refers to a system of banking or banking activity that is consistent with Islamic law (Sharia) principles and guided by Islamic economics. In particular, Islamic law prohibits usury, the collection and payment of interest, also commonly called rib in Islamic discourse. In addition, Islamic law prohibits investing in businesses that are considered unlawful, or haram (such as businesses that sell alcohol or pork, or businesses that produce media such as gossip columns or pornography, which are contrary to Islamic values). Islamic banking has the same purpose as conventional banking to make money for the banking institute by lending out capital. But that is not the sole purpose either. The basic principle of Islamic banking is based on risk-sharing which is a component of trade rather than risk-transfer which is seen in conventional banking. Islamic banking introduces concepts such as profit sharing, safekeeping, joint venture, cost plus and leasing. There are three types of schedule commercial banks are in operation in our economy. They are Nationalized Commercial Banks, Local Private Commercial Banks and Foreign Private Commercial Banks.

...1. INTRODUCTION As globalization and international trade impact societies, non-government organizations have become increasingly influential in world affairs. Now, there are about twelve thousand NGOs in all over the world operating in most countries. These organizations are not directly affiliated with any national government, but often have a significant Impact on the social, economy and political activity of the country or region involved. So, we can say that NGOs have become major players in the field of international and national development. But Bangladesh has largely failed to assist the poor or reduce poverty because of limited resources and planning, while NGOs have grown dramatically, but it ostensibly fails to fill this gap. There are more and bigger NGOs here than in any other country of equivalent size. Here, NGOs have mainly functioned to service the needs of the landless, usually assisted by foreign donor funding as a counterpoint to the state's efforts. Besides all these, in the field of NGO, Financial Reporting process and application of accounting is disgraceful. NGOs in Bangladesh have increasingly become subject to question and criticism from the government, political parties, intellectuals and the public in genus for misuse of funds, gender discrimination, and nepotism. Absence of proper guidelines in preparing financial statements and reports makes it more complex. The government of Bangladesh doesn’t have any unique rules for preparing...

In Greek mythology, Atlas was a giant who carried the world on his shoulders. In Ayn Rand’s 1957 novel Atlas Shrugged, Atlas represents the “ prime movers” —the talented few who bear the weight of the world’s economy.1 In the novel, the prime movers go on strike against the oppressive burden of excessive regulation and taxation, leaving the world in disarray and demonstrating how indispensable they are to the rest of us (the “ second handers” ). Rand wrote in a world in which the top marginal federal income tax rate in the United States was 91% (beginning at taxable income of $400,000).2 This is an unimaginably high rate by today’s standards, when the dominant view in Washington is that a marginal rate of 39.6% (the top † Irwin I.

...Chapter One Introduction 1.1 Origin of the Report Non-Banking Financial Institutions represent one of the most important segments of the financial system of Bangladesh and play a very important role in mobilizing and channeling resources In the present day socio-economic scenario, the leasing companies have been continuously playing an increased role in financing industry, trade and commerce and housing, thereby contributing significantly to the economic development of the country. The leasing sector has contributed significantly over the years, despite several constraints. With the challenges of time, the overall growth of the leasing business achieved through diversification of products and services and aggressive marketing with special focus on the SME sector, is indicative of the industry’s contribution to our national economy. It is worth mentioning that, within two decades; the leasing companies have emerged as an alternative source of finance and well sought after arm for credit for SMEs. In order to catch up with the demands of time, most leasing companies have diversified their products and services into other areas like small loans, housing loans, start-up working capital and domestic factoring of accounts receivable. Further to reducing dependence on traditional borrowings from banks for meeting their working capital requirements, some of them have already introduced new financial instruments like Bonds, Securitization of Assets, Syndication...
