He accepted a plea deal and was convicted of being party to first-degree reckless endangerment and one count of perjury. When he made the plea deal he had been scheduled for trial that week for two counts of perjury and one count of first-degree intentional homicide. According to the defendant he believes that without the plea bargain if he would have gone to trial it would not have been a fair trial. If he is denied parole before his sentence is up he will be given an automatic release date at the year mark with three years of parole afterwards. The third case that I found is about a man who was a convicted sex offender and became a millionaire with a...

Tip: You could review and then write down all the similar statements you make. Then in that list, cross out the ones that don’t empower, writing next to them the opposite of your previous disempowering commands.

...In 1996 a best-selling book entitled The Millionaire Next Door caused a minor sensation. In contrast to the popular perception of millionaire lifestyles, this book reveals that most millionaires live frugal lives--buying used cars, purchasing their suits at JC Penney, and shopping for bargains. These very wealthy people feel no need to let the world know they can afford to live much better than their neighbors. Millions of other Americans, on the other hand, have a different relationship with spending. What they acquire and own is tightly bound to their personal identity. Driving a certain type of car, wearing particular designer labels, living in a certain kind of home, and ordering the right bottle of wine create and support a particular image of themselves to present to the world. This is not to say that most Americans make consumer purchases solely to fool others about who they really are. It is not to say that we are a nation of crass status-seekers. Or that people who purchase more than they need are simply demonstrating a base materialism, in the sense of valuing material possessions above all else. But it is to say that, unlike the millionaires next door, who are not driven to use their wealth to create an attractive image of themselves, many of us are continually comparing our own lifestyle and possessions to those of a select group of people we respect and want to be like, people whose sense of what's important in life seems close to our own. ...

...Giulio Grassi 01/15/2015 P. 6^ The Roaring 1920s World War I which was known as a war that ended all the other wars and as the Great War finally came to an end in 1918 changing life in many countries, it had devastating effects on Europe. The Great War demolished the Austria-Hungary Empire and the Russian Empire. New states were established out of these former empires. However, the effects of the war were also felt across the Atlantic Ocean in America. Due to the war industry in the USA grew, the women’s movement progressed, and the government adopted new diplomatic policies. The Great War affected all areas of life in America, and continued to have its effect for many years to come. The decade that came right after was called “The roaring 1920s”. It was a time where Americans were living the American dream. Was the first time in American history that people could afford to buy in abundance and buy anything they pleased. The roaring 1920’s was effected by many inventions and a new life that Americans were adapting to. The introduction of cars, planes, Sports and Prohibition effected the 1920s. Americans were learning how to live their lives. One of the biggest changes probably also the one the influenced the most all the Americans were the new forms of transportation.

CONCLUSION………………………………………………………………………… 21 LIQUOR INDUSTRY IN INDIA INTRODUCTION The Indian alcoholic beverages market is gradually opening up as quantitative restrictions are being lifted, import duties are being lowered and domestic regulations are being simplified. These developments are attracting the attention of foreign players, who are faced with a slowdown in developed markets. According to some recent reports, by 2005, the total supply of liquor in the world will be close to 282 hl but consumption will be only about 198 hl. In such a scenario, India would be an attractive market for international players. An estimated 10 million people consume alcohol in India, out of a population of about 1.2 billion. The liquor industry in India is highly government regulated in terms of constraints on manufacturing, storage as well as distribution. The industry faces threat of prohibition in several states, high taxes, restrictions on advertising, restrictions on inter-state movement, etc. However, the deep-rooted social conditioning against alcohol consumption is gradually starting to...

...THE SUCCESS PRINCIPLES by Jack Canfield Jack Canfield’s book is considered a fundamental in the field of personal growth. I first heard about it from Brian Tracy. He cited Seven Habits and The Success Principles as two books he would highly recommend from beyond his own books. When I later saw some promotional material from Jack Canfield himself, I took a look. He provides a series of short lessons based on the book, and I took those combination of written and audio lessons and decided on the book. I also ordered and read the teen version of the book as a sort of primer for this book. The book is 473 pages including the index, plus an additional thirty or so pages in the introduction. Once you get into the meat of the book, there are 64 Principles covered in a relatively short chapters (some really short, some a little longer than others). All in all, it takes only a few minutes to read a given chapter. I think this would make a really good study for a group for more than a year – with weekly meetings. There is also a teen version of the book that only deals with versions of the first 21 principles. I. THE FUNDAMENTALS OF SUCCESS 1. Take 100% Responsibility for Your Life This is the only way to have power: be 100% responsible for your own life. This does not mean you always have control over outside circumstances, but you take full responsibility to take control of yourself in those situations. You have to give up all your excuses. E+R=O.
