...How can a short, chubby, shy black girl lead an entire team at a JROTC Drill Competition? Seven months later, and I still don’t have the answer to that question. But maybe I’ll figure it out as I type this essay. It was still winter, so the air was cold and crisp as my vice drill team commander and I jumped out of my mother’s Exhibition. This is it. Months of intensive drilling, making them repeat the entire regulation if they weren’t aligned, begging Chief to not cancel the competition, that we were ready, has led up to this day. Stonewall High School JROTC Drill competition. As we finally settled down the gym, they started with opening remarks. This part is extremely boring, so I’ll skip to the scariest part of that morning. As I was fussing at my cadets to quiet down and be professional, a booming voice was saying “we need a cadet from Laurel High School.” Being in charge of the the team, I assumed they were telling us if there were any changes. Once I marched up to the podium, they commanded me to state the Pledge of Allegiance. Immediately I almost had a panic attack. Even though I’ve been reciting it for 16 years, in that moment it disappeared from my mind. I slowly walked up to the podium that came up to my neck. Over 500 pairs of eyes were now staring down at me, waiting for me to do anything (I wouldn’t be surprised if they also wanted me to mess up— it is a competition.). Heart pounding in my chest, I finally mumbled: “I pledge the allegiance to the flag…” When that...

...Few good man Time from time you may hear stories of abuse by the military justice "system". There are multiple destroyed and financially devastated families out there suffering heartbreak and loss at the hands of an uncaring, unfeeling and unjust process which makes a mockery of our Bill of Rights. Military justice for the majority is prefabricated according to the wishes of the local Commander, and the "trial" or "court-martial" is tantamount to a pre-ordained verdict of GUILTY. How could any court proceeding be considered fair when the "convening authority," by right of title, is given the power to select the judge, the jury and defense and prosecution attorneys? It may go "unsaid," but the implication is very clear - if the convening authority "sees fit" to bring about a court-martial, then the accused can be assumed to be guilty. What's special, or even topical, about A Few Good Men movie is it speaks to how military honor can be so readily suborned by the authoritarian impulse. And second, how the same honest pride - not to mention competence - is necessary to bring such posturing would-be tyrants to justice. The main issue the movie touches upon is military justice. A good marine abides by the following code: 1. Unit 2. Corps 3. God and 4. Country For this code to be at its effective best, it must be governed by truth and justice. What happens when truth and justice fail to be active participants of this code? Justice has been defined in many ways...

...This movie is about a lawyer who is assigned to defend a two marine who are accused of murdering they’re fellow marine. These movie leave us a question that everyone should know, should you follow an order from a superior even though you know that it is not right? My answer for this question is NO, because even if he is your superior he still can’t do something that is against the law. We people should know that we have the right to do what we think is right, because if we would only follow orders without thinking, we will all lost our honor. Because honor can be gained if you have a courage to fight for the right thing. This can be compared to the story of Antigone, who defied the law to give his brother Polyneices a proper burial even though he was a traitor to Thebes, Antigone still defied the law because he thinks that it is the right thing to give his brother a proper burial even if she knows that there would be some consequences just like the two defendant who received an order from a superior that is against the law but they still follow the orders because they think that it is right to follow orders. That’s why they refuse to fight for the case because they think that they just follow an order and will accept whatever punishment it will cost. But later on they realized that it is also their duty to protect and help Santiago that they failed to do. This movie can also be relate in Angelo Reyes case who become coward to reveal the truth just like Lt Col. Markinson who...

...of depositing money. They both sat at the reception area where one of them gave monies to the other who in turn walked to the teller point. They exchanged some few words then he walked towards the UT Life Rep. He asked to open an account for his father but upon giving the requirement he decided to go and bring the father himself. He walked out of the banking hall leaving the other gentleman seated at the reception.

Biologic drugs and products are more complex than most pharmaceutical drugs. Pharmaceutical drugs are typically produced by chemical synthesis, meaning specific reagents can be processed by chemical reactions to yield the same product every time. In contrast, biologic drugs are made by the genetic engineering of an organism’s cellular mechanisms to create the desired product. Being biologic means that the drugs are manufactured using living organisms rather than by chemical reactions. Biologic drugs are very large, complex proteins. Because of natural variability in living cells, uncontrollable small differences are inevitable in both the biological manufacturing processes and the resulting molecules. The biotechnology industry is a profitable industry; it is worth $200b and is growing...

Business need money for many reasons like start up, for this they will need money to pay for rent on a building or buy a building, new equipment and advertising. A business also needs money to be able to run the business for example having enough money to pay staff wages and suppliers without this the business cannot run.

This is why business need money but most new businesses find it difficult to raise finance because they usually have just a few customers, a low profit high debt and many competitors. Banks and people that loan are scared of the risk that the starting up a new business has as many fail within the first few years and very little make a profit in the first 3 years. Most new business need an external and internal finance to get going but I will be focusing on Costa who will mainly use internal finance sources as they are part of a bigger company group (Whitbread). What this means is that if Costa need more money to expand or something of that nature instead of looking for people to take a loan from or use money made by shares they will just move funds from Whitbread over to Costa...

...Antonio Raimundo Montana (“Tony”) was once the office manager of Captain Kirk, P.A. (“Firm”). A few of Tony’s duties involved client billing and managing the Firm’s accounts, both the operating and trust accounts. Tony had been at the Firm for over 20 years and was a trusted employee, so much so that the managing partner, Spock, rarely supervised Tony’s actions. When Tony first started at the Firm he would provide Spock a monthly report that detailed the activity of the trust account. Spock required this report as means to comply with the Florida Bar Rule 5-1.1, which mentions that a lawyer must maintain and supervise the trust account. However, as the Firm rapidly expanded and the workload increased, Tony asked Spock to eliminate such “busy” work like that of the monthly report of the trust account. Spock agreed to cease the monthly reports since he had developed a strong sense of trust and loyalty to Tony over the years. Also, Tony had never done anything in the past to make Spock suspicious of Tony’s actions. Spock had to go out of state for a month’s time for a trial. Before leaving, he asked that Tony be on the lookout for a $1 million dollar wire transfer that was expected to be coming in the next couple of days and is to be held within the Firm’s trust account. Tony obliged and said that everything would be taken care of and that the accounting records would be updated once received. While Spock was out of town, he emailed Tony on several occasions inquiring...

...stimulates creativity and imagination within a company, which generates new ideas for the company, those new ideas will hopefully generate more profits for the company. An entrepreneurial employee is always trying to make the workplace better, they are trying to improve the company they work for even though they are not an owner of that company. They come up with new and better ways to achieve the company’s business goals while saving money in the process. According to a 2013 Swiss-German study, the differences between an entrepreneurial employee and other employees lies in the disposition. Employees are specialists who work for others and whose talents are combined with those of other specialists (employees) by the entrepreneurs (Baer). Employees look at responsibility as everything they have been given to do, entrepreneurs embrace all aspects of responsibility and try to take on as much as they can in an effort to control and shape it. Many people are motivated by money, at least for a period of time but eventually the motivational power of money often wears off; Ultimately most people are motivated by the work they do and the environment that they work in. Compensation and rewards for entrepreneurial employees should include both monetary and non-monetary ideas. Profit-sharing, generous bonuses and additional time-off benefits are some of the monetary compensation and rewards that large businesses are giving to their top employees, however they frequently create unwanted consequences...
