...caught up with Gerrit in person three months since the last appointment. Around a month after I last saw Gerrit, he ceased Symbicort due to a lack of benefit. Since that time, he has had further assessment with Andrew Teh and I note Andrew is happy with Gerrit’s cardiac status with a recent echocardiogram showing normal systolic function, no significant diastolic dysfunction and trivial mitral regurgitation. Gerrit has since undergone repeat lung function testing that demonstrates some deterioration comparing to the numbers from early last year and indicate a moderately-severe mixed obstructive/restrictive ventilatory defect without bronchodilator response. Gas transfer is relatively preserved. A CT chest scan does not reveal any notable change in the right lower lobe rounded atelectasis comparing back to 2015, although I do get a sense of increased pleural thickening bilaterally which is likely to be contributing to the...

...Liu Xingchen Spring14 BUS207 Chapter 12 Textbook Assignment 12-3. Intentional Torts against Property (a) Yes, Gerrit has committed torts. Although Steward tell two mechanics to throw him off the property, Gerrit grabs some tool valued at $800 and run away and refuse o return the tools. Whenever a person wrongfully possesses or uses the personal property of another without permission, the tort of conversion occurs. When conversion occurs, a trespass to personal property also occurs because the original taking of the personal property from the owner was a trespass, and wrongfully retaining it is conversion. Refusing to return the property may still be conversion. (b) An assault is any intentional and unexcused threat of immediate harmful or offensive contact, including words or acts that create in another person a reasonable apprehension of harmful contact. The completion of the act that caused the apprehension, if it results in harm to the plaintiff, is a battery. If the mechanics had thrown Gerrit off the property, ABC would not be guilty of assault and battery because Gerrit doesn't get injury and create a reasonable apprehension of harmful contact. 12-8.

I was at the point in my life were little girl’s just like me had life’s that were pure and innocent, loveable and enjoyable, and beautiful and unforgettable. Bike riding, hop-scotch, and playing dress up were what all the other little eight year old girls were doing, but not me. I was an eight year old girl, a voice crying out for help, and a victim of child molestation. “Those who commit child sexual abuse often know or have close relationships with the child they abuse” (Newton, Gerrtis 25). That is exactly what happened to me. It was my stepfather, and he did it. “Sweetie Pie” was he called me. I was a trouble free little girl with an older brother I admired. My parents had split up when I was 6, and my mother was always so unhappy, or so it seemed. My mother lacked love and affection, and it showed greatly through our eyes along with everyone else’s. Thus, when I was eight, my mother remarried and I instantly gained a father figure and a stepfather. It didn’t take very long…the molestation, I mean. I was never quite sure of why it happened; all I can remember was my step father taking me by the hand and making me watch pornographic movies with him. After a while or so, I was forced to...

...movement of the 19th through early 20th centuries, which focused mainly on women's suffrage, or right to vote. During the early part of the 19th century, agitation for equal suffrage was carried on by only a few individuals. The first of these was Frances Wright, a Scottish woman who came to the country in 1826 and advocated women's suffrage in an extensive series of lectures. In 1836 Ernestine Rose, a Polish woman, came to the country and carried on a similar campaign so effectively that she obtained a personal hearing before the New York Legislature, though her petition bore only five signatures. In 1840, Lucretia Mott and Margaret Fuller became active in Boston, the latter being the author of the book The Great Lawsuit; Man vs. Woman. Gerrit Smith, who was the Liberty Party's candidate for President in 1848, successfully championed a plank in his party's position calling for women's equal rights. Conventions and Resolutions The first women's rights convention was held in Seneca Falls, New York, in July of 1848. The Seneca Falls Convention was hosted by Lucretia Mott, Mary Ann M'Clintock and Elizabeth Cady Stanton (Figure 1); some three hundred attended including Frederick Douglass, who stood up to speak in favor of women's suffrage. After two days of discussion and debate, 68 women and 32 men signed a Declaration of Sentiments, which outlined grievances and set the agenda for the women's rights movement. A set of 12 resolutions was adopted, calling for equal treatment of women...

...Of the Hall’s 19th century inductees, whom most people associate with the rise of women’s rights, everyone has an anti-slavery activism story as well. Many were radical abolitionists: Angelina Grimké Weld and Sarah Grimké, South Carolina born women who left the south and became immediatist abolitionist speakers and writers, Quaker Minister Lucretia Mott, Harriet Tubman, Mrs. Stanton, Mrs. Bloomer, Sojourner Truth, the ‘notorious’ Fanny Wright, Lydia Maria Child, Susan B. Anthony, who did a stint on the paid agency circuit, a public speaking abolitionist firebrand in her own right, Ernestine Rose, Paulina Wright Davis, Josephine St. Pierre Ruffin. An extraordinary number of these women were either from upstate New York, were active here, spoke here, or chose, like Harriet Tubman, to settle in this region. They wove a 19th century web, an internet of allies and families. Imagine a great web from Maine to Philadelphia, encompassing Boston, New York City, and spanning west to the Ohio Valley and Michigan. They had no telephones, no radios, and no electronic communication. They did write voluminously, letters to one another, to newspapers, to conventions and gatherings. When anti-slavery activists began to speak at meetings, their words were written down, published and passed along. Those who were not literate such as Sojourner Truth and Harriet Tubman were read to by friends, relatives, and in later years as African-American literacy expanded, often by children.

...The work is called “The Milkmaid” by Johannes Vermeer. It was started in the year 1657, but not finished until the next year in 1658. The artwork looks very clean and blends very nicely from one layer to the next. The painting was created in Amsterdam. It was one of the first paintings as Vermeer began to mature with his artwork. This painting, as far as anyone knows, was never requested by any historical figure.The work was very typical of its period in time. Vermeer took under the influence of Anthony van Dych, Hendrick ter Brugghen, and Gerrit van Honthurst. The meaning of the work seems to be conveyed by the lady pouring the milk. The loaf of bread can also show the meaning. There is also an extra jug of milk. The details may tell their own story themselves, but together they create a bigger picture....

...There is a tendency that many companies are required to prepare their financial statement as set out by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), which their standards are generally principle-based. In the following paragraph, this paper attempts to evaluate the significances of principle-based stands first and some discussion of whether the Interpretation Committee is necessary in world with global principle-based standards. The Interpretation Committee would review on a timely basis widespread accounting issues that have arisen within the context of current IFRSs. The goal of Interpretation Committee is reaching consensus on the appropriate accounting treatment and providing authoritative guidance on those issues (IFRS, 2011). First of all, the fundamental benefit of principle-based standards is that its broad guidelines can be practical for a variety of circumstances. Broad principles may avoid the pitfalls with precise requirements which that allow contracts to be written specifically to control their intent. Besides, broad guidelines might improve the representational faithfulness of financial statements. Moreover, the principle-based standards are based primarily on the fundamentals of accounting with an appropriate level of specificity and implying extensive opportunities for professional judgment. At the same time, the professions of financial statement would be strengthened if people are required to utilize their judgment instead of relying on those detailed...

Gevoelens van onmacht, moedeloosheid, uitzichtloosheid vieren hoogtij: ‘veel ach en een beetje o’. 2.

...and Life and Times of Frederick Douglass in 1881. Each provided more details regarding his transition from bondage to liberty with the last one written after the liberation of American slaves following the Civil War.

An adventure of U.S. air cargo transportation– the story of Federal Express was beginning. Since it was founding at 1971, Federal Express choose a high-cost development way that was really uncommon at that time.

In 1627, Rembrandt began to accept students, among them Gerrit Dou.[12] In 1629 Rembrandt was discovered by the statesman Constantijn Huygens, the father of Christiaan Huygens, (the Dutch mathematician and physicist), who procured for Rembrandt important commissions from the court of The Hague.

Deze stijl is tegenwoordig een typische Nederlandse kunststrooming. Eigenlijk is dat heel grappig omdat de opzetters het eigenlijk een internationale stijl moest worden.
