...Constant threat of terrorism Constant threat of terrorism The terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001 on the World Trade Center (WTC) in New York and the Pentagon in Washington, showed the power of a terrorist network. International Network of Global Salafi Jihad and its department al-Qaeda unit al-Sulbah (Al-Qa'idah al-Sulbah) - the main organizers of large-scale terror attacks of the last fifteen years - are the most powerful terrorist and public organizations whose purpose is to establish a true Islamic government and the revival of Islam. The emergence of organizations such as the Global Salafi Jihad (Salafist movement) and the international terrorist network al - Qaeda - the International Islamic Front for Jihad against Jews and Christians – is a consequence of a single trend prevailing in the contemporary Muslim world - namely, rise of radical and militant Islamism. International terrorist organizations seek to acquire weapons of mass destruction and sabotage plans in the areas of oil and gas. In addition, according to some researchers, operating in Russia's North Caucasus militants are closely linked to the international terrorist network “Al Qaeda”. “Al-Qaeda” has transformed into a movement that brings together independent terrorist cells in the world on an ideological basis. It has established strong contacts with regional extremist organizations in the Islamic Maghreb, in south-east Asia - with a "JI", in Russia - the “Caucasus Emirate” (Bergen, 2006). In addition...

Study groups can help you in classes with huge reading lists, multiple writing assignments, lots of course specific jargon, and long problem sets. It’s helpful to recognize that everyone brings value to a group and to be aware of making assumptions or judgments. Studying in groups…refreshes my memory on course material, makes aware of information missed during class or didn’t quite understand, and gives new ideas and perspectives on class topics. On the other hand, Most of the students choose to enroll in independent study because they have educational needs and interests not covered by the standard curriculum. Others may only need an additional credit or two to fulfill a requirement, and it's more economical to choose an independent course with variable credit hours than to enroll in an elective course costing twice as much.

...Section A. A1. There are two types of statistics that are often referred to when making a statistical decision or working on a statistical problem. Descriptive statistics utilize numerical and graphical methods to look for patterns in data set, to summarize the information revealed in a data set and to present information in a convenient form that individuals can use to make decisions (Singpurwalla, 2013).Descriptive statistics main goal is to describe a data set, hence the class of descriptive statistics include both numerical measures and graphical displays of data. Inferential statistics utilizes sample data to make estimates, decisions, predictions, or other generalizations about a larger set of data (Singpurwalla, 2013).The main goal of inferential statistics is to make a conclusion about a population based off a sample of data from the population. A2. The population is the whole set of values, or individuals, that the information collector is interested in. The sample is a subset of the population, and is the set of values that are actually use in estimation. For example, if a person wants to know the average height of the residents of India, that will be the population, i.e., the population of India. As India population is quite large a number, and we wouldn't be able to get data for everyone there. So the collector draw a sample, to get some observations, or the height of some of the people in India (a subset of the population, the sample) and do the inference...

...Money laundering in football - lessons for the sports industry on Wednesday, 21 December 2011. Hits 2915 Written By Kevin Carpenter[->0] Money laundering in football is not a new phenomenon but the poor financial health of world football overall has lead to increased scrutiny in recent years by leading organisations such as Transparency International ('TI') (the world’s leading non-governmental anti-corruption organisation) and the Financial Action Task Force (‘FATF’) (an independent inter-governmental body that develops and promotes policies to protect the global financial system against money laundering and terrorist financing). Indeed TI has suggested that, ”Vulnerabilities in the sector's financing and due diligence practices, culture and structure are seen…as creating an environment conducive to money laundering by organised crime.“ The concerns have been compounded by two recent high profile cases in the UK then this makes it a good time to analyse this ever present threat. What is money laundering and why is football a target? Money laundering is the process by which proceeds of crime (so called "dirty money" or “criminal property”) are changed so that the proceeds appear to have come from a legitimate source. The proceeds of crime is money, or other assets, that have been acquired or generated through criminal activities in the UK or abroad.

...Dear American Intellectual Union: I am writing to provide you with the job satisfaction statistics using gender, tenure, position, department, age, intrinsic and extrinsic data. Evaluating 44 people at random selection from those your organization offered. Some of this information will be in numbers and some in percentages to help give better understanding of the overall satisfaction of employees. The dataset used is from the surveys that ask several questions to give answers in order to help understand job satisfaction at a deeper level. There are many variables that have been used; there was gender, department, position, tenure and job statistic, by using quantitative and qualitative in addition to intrinsic and extrinsic data. For instance, the department of Human Resource Management for the State of Virginia received data on statistics of workplace conflict and found that difficulties in the workplace that step from troubled relationships accounts for 60 to 80 percent of those issues and that managers are spending one to two days weekly on trying to manage them. They also found that employees believe that discrimination is a large problem with in business and that in 2001; about 50 percent of employers reported they had been sued by employees.

According to Coleman, the strong bond one shares with other individuals or entities grants one with supplementary opportunities, and significantly increases the likelihood of then achieving those opportunities (Brym and Lie 2012: 123). An example that demonstrates this concept is when my twelfth grade teacher wrote a reference letter on my behalf. This letter was compulsory in order to gain admission in post-secondary institutions in England, particularly to study L.L.B, and luckily I was accepted, upon to which...

...Term Paper: Project Managers and Ethics, Leadership, and Technology Jessica Tyra Dr. Russ White CIS517 May 17, 2015 The Different Organizational Structures There are three different organizational structures in regards to project management, and each has their specific pros and cons associated with their method. A functional organizational structure is one that is best when the focus is a single product. Functional structures aren’t designed to change quickly, and they are the most common type of design. These contain various specialized units that then report to top management, or the top tier of the structure. The grouping is based on similarities. It’s the top tier’s job to make sure that each individual tier below them is able to communicate and coordinate their efforts as one unit. Clustering the individuals with similar knowledge allows specialists to grow within their fields. (Griffin, 2015, p. 1) The main goal of functional structure is to place the human and informational resources in one place to maximize performance. A great example is the structure associated with a University. They have various faculty members who only teach a specific specialty or subject. These individuals are only supposed to teach their specific subject. (Schwalbe, 2013, p. 49) There are some disadvantages to functional organizational structures, with the biggest issue having to do with communication. Communication can be difficult in the decision-making...

...reporting system; minimal access to mental health facilities; lack of availability of trained staff for counseling; lack of awareness programs regarding mental health issues; and no separate system for the reporting of mental health disorders and incidences are the causes of under-reporting the cases in the area. In addition, due to the close family relations and small population size, the inhabitants of the district avoid stigmatization and they try to conceal suicide incidences. Thus, instead of the massive number of suicide cases, only few cases are reported to local media and police department. The reports in the health department only indicate the number of fatalities in the region, but not the cause of death (Lalani, Zafarullah, Sajid, Majeed, &Zahid, 2013). Beside the concern of every educated person about the highly occurring cases of suicide among women in Chitral, no systematic research seems to have been done to determine the rates and causes of self killing. Because of the burden of the issue in the community, it was important to know the reasons of self harming behaviors in Chitral, so that structured interventional programs, according to the need, could be established in the area. ...
