...included in the case, summarize how the closed-ended and open-ended questions provided valuable customer insight for FIR. The closed ended responses, when matched with customer demographics, confirmed that FIR customers were generally typical of internet banking customers. Most had high speed internet connections, were men, and were in medium to high socioeconomic categories and many were in technical occupations. In general the open ended questions support three main points, The potential users still have a need for traditional banking services. One of them being mail deposits, another is access to a local ATM. Security is a concern even among sophisticated users. (Respondents 3 and 137) The big concern is the lack of security with the customers receiving phishing-type emails from hackers which can lead to identity theft. There is also a concern to small businesses that they do not have a big enough protection policy when it comes to identity theft/hackers. The existing user base is happy with the convenience and the quality of service. Based on the surveys, the respondents believe FIR is simple and easy to use when viewing and paying bills. 2.

... According to A History of Ireland: From the Earliest Times to 1922, there were several semi-divine races that ruled over Ireland throughout Ireland’s ancient history. The Fomorians, the Tuatha De Danann and the fir blog were all people of mythical origin that controlled Ireland at one point. The Fomorians although did not live in Ireland always held interest in Ireland, trying to gain tributes from the people who were in control over Ireland. To really understand how these people became known as the fairy-folk, one must understand the invasions of Ireland. There were 6 invasions of Ireland which included Cessair, Partholon, Nemed, The Fir Bolg, The Tuatha De Danann, and the Milesians (the Gaels) who are the descendants of modern day Ireland. Even though the Milesians defeated the Tuatha De Danann, the Tuatha De Danann never left Ireland. They moved to enchanted places to live in areas now known as the Sidhe mounds. Many years after the said “death” of members of the Tuatha De Danann that still show back up in history showing signs of immortality. When Saint Patrick went back to Ireland to convert the Irish pagans to the catholic faith, he had dealings with the Tuatha De Danann. Even the Milesians knew of the Tuatha De Danann. Who and what are the Sidhe? The Sidhe were the mounds that the fairy-folk were having said to live in. These fairy-mounds or Sidhe are still protected by modern day Irish government in fear of invoking war with the fairy-folk. ...

...understand what it means. For questions requiring material from Statdisk, make sure to turn labels on, take a screen capture (CTRL-Print Screen on most Windows-based computers), and paste the image into the worksheet. Crop the image as appropriate. 1. Describe a normal distribution in no more than 100 words (5 point). Answer: A normal distribution is a continuous random variable distribution with a bell shape, and has only two parameters: the mean, and the variance. A normal distribution can be represented by the formula: y=e^(-1/2)(x-μ/σ)/(σ√2pi). The mean can be any positive number and variance can be any positive number, so there are an infinite number of normal distributions. The shape of the distribution when graphed is symmetrical and bell-shaped. Use this information to answer questions 2-4. Following a brushfire, a forester takes core samples from the ten surviving Bigcone Douglas-fir trees in a test plot within the burn area, and a dendrochronologist determines the age of the source trees to be as follows (in years): 15 38 48 67 81 83 94 102 135 167 2.

Her husband Vishwa Vijay too was similarly sentenced. The Judgement came exactly after the two had spent twenty seven months (two years and three months) in Naini Jail. This Judgement has once again exposed how the Indian Security Establishment, the Police and the Intelligence are working in tandem with a section of the Judiciary and that any arrest made in the name of Maoism and Terrorism can be justified by invoking the draconian laws like the UAPA and the colonial era security provisions of the Indian...

P E N M A N Universi(v of California, Berkeley, CA 94720, USA Received January 1988, final version received April 1989 This paper performs a financial statement analysis that combines a large set of financial statement items into one summary measure which indicates the direction of one-year-ahead earnings changes. Positions are taken in stocks on the basis of this measure during the period 1973-1983, which involve cancelling long and short positions with zero net investment. The two-year holding-period return to the long and short positions is in the order of 12.5%. After adjustment for 'size effects' the return is about 7.0%.

...Chit funds seem to be an easy way for fraudsters to make money. Most chit fund companies that are involved in scams have a similar story. The companies are started by fraudsters. They then rope in respectable people as directors in order to bring credibility to the company and attract investment. Once people invest money , they run away with all the money. Leaving the honest directors to face the lawsuits and the liabilities. This was the case with the directors of Realcon Ltd. Sometimes directors can land in trouble for smallest of mistakes. The directors of Shasun Chemicals and Drugs Ltd experienced that first hand when an FIR was slapped against them for a cheque dishonouring...

...Must one argue that America was built on the values of freedom? If this is true, which history has already proven it is, then why are we stripping the rights of our youth by requiring them to participate in mandatory volunteering? Before one can even begin to answer this they must also ask what is volunteering? In short it is offering to do something “freely”. Schools should not force our students to participate in volunteering, because they are inevitably causing the youth to be rebellious and devaluing the appreciation for true volunteering. While volunteering may be a seemingly good thing, mandatory volunteering causes young adolescents to rebel against community service and volunteer work. According to the Cognitive Evaluation Theory study, people tend to resist and lose interest in what is being asked of them when they feel they are being controlled by an outside source because of the human nature of individualism(Pearce 1).This is already seen in other school situations, such as with homework. Many children will often refuse to do rudimentary or simple homework assignments. Throughout history, volunteering has evolved into a cultural connection; a common characteristic of humans on a local, national, and global level is the desire to help one another. Although this statement is not necessarily true for every individual, most people feel an urgency to assist friends, family members, coworkers, and/or strangers in need or in crisis. Why should we volunteer? Many people...

...CLASSIFICATION AND REMEDIES OF TERMS GOH KAH LING* The writer has discussed that contract is a legally enforceable agreement that meets certain specified legal requirements between two or more parties. Terms of contract are statements that made by one party in order to encourage the other party to enter into the contract. It should be clear, promissory and capable of acceptance. Terms of contract can classified as conditions and warranties. Conditions terms are term of major importance which goes to the root of the contract. It entitles innocent party to terminate the contract and sue for damages. Warranties term is a subsidiary term of the contract. It will compensate the innocent party for any loss or inconvenience. It is a hybrid term, sometimes assuming the characteristics of a condition and at other times the characteristic of a warranty. Severity of breach of intermediate terms depends entirely on the legal consequences of the actual situation Breach occurs where a contract has come into being and one or other of the parties fails to perform all or some part of the obligations under it. There are four main remedies available to the wronged party: Specific performance, injunction, damages and restitution.
