...School photocopy room, and on his way home purchased a lottery ticket. He won big and bought a business, called Abdo ’s Diamond Cutting Works. Quentin places an order with Abdo ’s cousin in Damascus, Syria, Mussa, to buy 3 newest model diamond cutting machines at a price of $150,000 per machine “Delivered Duty Paid” at Darling Harbour, Sydney. (At the time of the order, Abdo only had one machine.) These cutting machines can only be purchased in Syria. Each new machine is to be delivered at Darling Harbour, Sydney, at the end of each month commencing June 2011. The Mussa Machines Ltd purchase order form that Quentin signs says in relevant part: “13. Time is of the essence for payment. 14. Delivery must occur within 30 days of scheduled delivery dates.”” After delivering in June, Mussa tells Quentin that he will deliver no more machines. Mussa says that because Syria has cut off diplomatic relations with Australia because the Australian Government has unlawfully interfered in Syria’s internal affairs, and he has been ordered by the Syrian Government to deliver all goods destined for Australia to the Syrian Government stores in Damascus instead. He says that the Syrian secret police are already investigating him, and he cannot say any more about it. Quentin does not want to pay for any of the machines at all. He tells you he has decided to keep using Abdo ’s old diamond cutting machine instead. Quentin tells you also that last week, he realised he only needed one new...

Introduction 2 Although health care facilities are designed to ensure people are safe, they remain a dangerous place to be (Mitchell, Gardner, & McGregor, 2012). The sources of risks in the hospital include medical errors, falls, and health care associated infections (HAIs). The World Health Assembly (WHA) held on 18th May 2012 passed a resolution that addressed the issue of patient safety and quality in health care (Briš & Keclíková, 2012). WHA called for continued improvements in health care quality and patient safety (Briš & Keclíková, 2012). Therefore, there is a need to evaluate the existent health care systems in order to identify the causes of risks and come up with a plan that can improve health care standards. The plan should also aim at improving the safety techniques applied in other high risk industries, such as the mass transportation, chemical engineering, and nuclear power generation sectors (Shillito, Arfanis, & Smith, 2010). According to the accident causation model developed by Reason in 1990, accidents are caused by many factors that work in concert (Shillito, Arfanis, & Smith, 2010).

...0 Term Paper Discourses of Standpoint Feminism in International Relations Shipra Shukla M.Phil Student Subject: Advanced International Relations Theories Department of Political Science University of Delhi 1 1. 1 Introduction Feminism can be simply defined as the study of and movement for women not as subjects but as subjects of knowledge. During the 1980s, feminism and the role of gender have gained entry in the study of international relations. Prior to this feminism was greatly ignored. However, over the last decade, feminism has emerged as a key critical perspective within the study of international relations. The initial thrust of this critique was to challenge the fundamental biases of the discipline and to highlight the ways in which women were excluded from analyses of the state, international political economy, and international security. According to O'Callaghan (2002) feminism in international relations can be framed in two main domains. The first wave of feminist scholarship in the 1980s is now called feminist empiricism; in which international relations scholars have sought to reclaim women’s hidden voices and to expose the multiplicity of roles that women play in sustaining global economic forces and state interactions. For example, women’s participation and involvement facilitate tourism, colonialism, and economically powerful states’ domination of weak states. The maintenance of the international political economy depends upon stable political and...

...Student’s Name Lecturer’s Name Course Name and Number Date Submitted Marijuana Legalization Marijuana, commonly known as bhang, weed, stone and pot is produced from the plant called Cannabis Sativa. It remains illegal in many countries while others are fighting to legalize it. Some states in the U.S.A such as Colorado and Washington have already won the battle to legalize marijuana yet in other African countries it remains illegal yet it is used as a drug (Earleywine 12). Marijuana is speculated to have many clinical trials and medical benefits have been done to prove the hypothesis. According to my point of view, the purpose marijuana legalization should only be medicinal use. All other reasons for legalization should be abolished and prohibited. Marijuana over a long time has been used as medicine in the ancient ages. Many individuals benefit from the therapeutic use of marijuana. Over decades, marijuana has been embraced for its power to relieve pain. Legalization of marijuana for medical purposes has showed several advantages in health fitness. Currently, it is said that most of international health organizations in the world grant their patients the legal access and use of marijuana but under physician supervision. In Canadian Medical Association, there have been suggestions that there should be broad public health approach to evaluating and discuss the use marijuana. It is correct to conclude that legalization of marijuana should only be for medical purposes but not other...

...Name Tutor Course Date Dred Scott v. Sandford The United States Supreme Court in March 1857 ruled that free blacks and black slaves were never citizens and would never gain citizenship in the United States. Additionally, the Supreme Court led by Chief Justice Roger B. Taney made a declaration that 1820 Missouri Compromise was unconstitutional thereby legalizing slavery countrywide. The Plaintiff Dred Scott had appealed to the Supreme Court to gain his freedom after living in the Free States of Illinois and Wisconsin before moving to the slave state of Missouri (Van and Maltz, p.144). The Judge Taney, who staunchly supported slavery, wrote that because Scott was black which nullified his citizenship had no right to sue in the federal courts. This ruling was in agreement with the Court's majority opinion. In his writing, he emphasized how the Negro belonged to the white man as of property, and the white man could reduce him to slavery as he wished (O'Connor, and Yanus, p.120). He further wrote that the black man had no protection from the Declaration of Independence that justifies all men to be equal because the intent of the Declaration of Independence was not to include the enslaved African race. Scott had sued in a state court in 1846 for his freedom because he had sojourned in a free state for a surmountable amount of time. In 1840, the state court made a declaration that Scott was free. Mr. Sanford appealed this decision to the Missouri Supreme Court (Cromwell, p.165)...

...Fordman Foundation supports standardized testing under No Child Left Behind (NCLB). The No Child Left Behind (NCLB) is a federal law that provides for extra educational assistance for poor children in return for improvements in their academic progress. The NCLB (No Child Left Behind) is the most recent version of the 1965 elementary and secondary act. In conclusion, Standardized testing should not be allowed in public schools because kids don't take the tests seriously, kids cheat on the tests and schools get punished for lower scores.

...The “Iron Triangle” The “Iron Triangle” is defined as “a concept that focuses on the balance of three factors: quality, cost, and accessibility to healthcare (Niles, 2011).” These three factors play a key role in making this concept work. Quality is “character with respect to fineness, or grade of excellence (“Quality,” 2010).” Cost is “the price paid to acquire, produce, accomplish, or maintain anything (“Cost”, 2010).” Accessibility means “obtainable; attainable ("Accessibility," 2010).” Although the “Iron Triangle” consist of three important factors, it is hard to have a balance between the three. In order for a healthcare system to work there has to be a balance between all three factors. Each factor in the triangle can affect the other factors. Meaning it is hard to make all three factors equal without losing a factor. “If one factor is emphasized, such as cost reduction, it may create an inequality of quality and access because costs are being cut. Because lack of access is a problem in the United States, healthcare systems may focus on increasing access, which could increase costs. In order to assess the success of a healthcare delivery, it is vital that consumers assess their health care by analyzing the balance between cost, access, and quality” (Niles, 2011). For example, if I hospital needed some new medical equipment they would probably want the best quality they could get. The equipment would be of great quality but they would end up spending a lot...

...ANSWER TO QUESTIONS: 1. How would a consumer’s level of involvement, need for cognition, and level of information search affect the purchase of a new car? THEORY: The consumer buying decision process is a five-stage purchase decision process which includes problem recognition, information search, evaluation of alternatives, purchase, and post-purchase evaluation. The problem recognition occurs when a buyer becomes aware of a difference between a desired state and an actual condition.After the consumer becomes aware of the problem or need, he or she searches for information about products that will help resolve the problem or satisfy the need. Repetition, a technique well known to advertisers, increases consumers’ learning. Repetition eventually may cause wear-out, meaning consumers pay less attention to the commercial and respond to it lessfavourably than they did at first. A successful information search within a product category yields a consideration set (aka evoked set), which is a group of brands that the buyer views as possible alternatives.Purchase selection is based on the outcome of the evaluation stage and other dimensions.After purchase, the buyer begins to evaluate the product to ascertain if the actual performance meets expected levels. Cognitive dissonance is a buyer’s doubts that arise shortly after a purchase about whether it was the right decision. REALISTIC: During the daily using a car or a public transportation, he will realize if he need to buy a new...

It contains historic and academic leading works designated for readers. The account of this article is written by Stephen L. Hardin. He is a history professor at the University of McMurry in Abilene. The author of this account is an experienced academic writer. In his account he describes the account of the battle of Alamo where the Texan defense falls under the Santa Anna’s forces at the earliest hours of the 6th day of March 1836. Hardin involves various broad perspectives of views and writing styles, which are exhibited in the writing of this account. The Battle of Alamo account by Dela Pena is an historic firsthand account of what the author considers to be the truth of what happen during the war and after the war. The author of the account was a soldier on the Mexican side during the war. The account contains a record of the events that occurred during the war and after the war. The account presents information different from the so far story of the war that circulated for over 150 years (Hardin, 1994 p. 78). The two accounts are similar in that they report about the events that proceeded the morning of March 6th 1836. Hardin presents the account of the war from the beginning to the end capturing information from a wider perspective and considering views of various historians and...
