...FEES AND CHARGES FOR 2011 Web Page www.ru.ac.za/fees (1) GENERAL INFORMATION Liability for fees Liability for all fees begins as soon as completed application forms are submitted to the University and the student is accepted. The signing of the application form establishes the legal liability of the student and his/her other funder for the payment of all fees as determined by the Council. This can vary according to the student's circumstances. These fees are published in the annual Rhodes University Calendar, and are available on the WEB. In any discussions or negotiations about fees, it will be assumed that a student and his/her other funder have made themselves aware of the provisions of this section and of the equivalent fees schedule. While the University attempts to keep fees as low as possible, student fees usually increase annually by approximately 10% per annum. Ignorance of the fees payable does not provide grounds for avoiding liability for any fees due and payable. Alteration of fees The University Council reserves the right to alter all fees payable to the University, or to impose a fees surcharge if circumstances require it. In the case of an alteration of fees...

...by the CPA are enforceable under the AICPA bylaws. These bylaws enforced by the Joint Ethics Enforcement Program which is sponsored by the AICPA and individual state societies for CPA’s. For the sake of this paper we will be looking at four individual case studies pertaining to rule 102 – integrity and objectivity, rule 201 – general standards, rule 202 – compliance with standards, and rule 501 – acts discreditable. Each case covers a violation of one or more of the rules and the enforcement actions taken against the individuals in violation. In 2005, David C Volpe of Stoughton, MA, acting chief financial officer and consultant of Chancellor Corp was found in violation of this rule as well as rule 501, acts discreditable. His actions pertaining to rule 102 were “directly or indirectly made or caused to be made materially false or misleading statements, or omitted to state or caused another to omit or to state material facts necessary in order to make Chancellor Corp’s financial statements not misleading to the outside auditors” (AICPA, 2005). These actions pertain to Chancellor’s financial statements filed with the SEC on forms 10-KSB and 10-QSB for the year ended December 31, 1998 and quarter ended March 31, 1999. The first case pertains to rule 102 of the code. Rule 102 states “In the performance of any professional service, a member shall maintain objectivity and integrity, shall be free from conflicts of interest, and shall not knowingly misrepresent facts or subordinate...

...80's Music vs. New aged Music Chelsey Stafford COM/170 January 10, 2013 Tameka Winston In today's society our music comes from a different era than it was in the 80's. The genre and style of the generation will follow. Music comes from the Ancient Greek muses, who were the nine goddesses of art and science. Music actually began around 500 B.C. when Pythagoras experimented with acoustics and how math related to tones formed from plucking strings. The main form of music during the middle Ages was the Gregorian chant, named for Pope Gregory I. This music was used in the Catholic Churches to enhance the services. It consisted of a sacred Latin text sung by monks without instrumentation. The chant is sung in a monophonic texture, which means there is only one line of music. It has a free-flowing rhythm with little or no set beat. The chants were originally all passed through oral tradition, but the chants became so numerous that the monks began to notate them. Towards the end of the Middle Ages, about the 12th and 13th centuries, music began to move outside of the church. French nobles called troubadours and trouveres were among the first to have written secular songs. Music of this time was contained among the nobility, with court minstrels performing for them. There were also wandering minstrels who would perform music and acrobatics in castles, taverns, and town squares. These people were among the lowest social class, along with prostitutes and slaves, but...

...Joan Manlangit ENG-102-15 Professor Lena Valencia Research Paper Draft 1 The Religious Feminist There is undeniable doubt that there is a sense of inequality towards women in terms of religion. The purpose of this research paper is to discover and understand feminist views on religion, as well as define the term “religious feminist.” In my findings, I have yet to conclude whether being a feminist and being a full devote, faithful follower to a religion can coexist. Although, when researching on the topic of “religion and feminism,” sites such as religionandfeminism.com are full of commentators and scholars who believe otherwise: that there can be such a thing as the religious feminist. However, it seems as though equality within religion is a never-ending battle. Author of Bad Feminist: Take One/ Take Two, Roxanne Gay, describes her favorite definition of feminism as “just women who don’t want to be treated like shit.” (303). Like others, Gay feels as if she falls short of what a true feminist is. The online dictionary describes a feminist as one who advocates social, political, legal, and economic rights for women equal to those of men. So what does it mean when one claims to be a “bad” feminist? Gay goes on in her excerpt about how some feminist public speakers often contradict themselves when advocating the ideal feminist. Does being a religious feminist mean you are a contradictory? In Kristin Aune’s Why Feminists Are Less Religious, she tries to...

Bello, Chair, Dept. of Economics The College of Economics and Management (CEM) was formally created in the 996th UP-BOR meeting, February 1987. However, the College traces its roots to the Institute of Agricultural Development and Administration (IADA)which was established in 1975, with three departments – Agricultural Economics (DAE), Economics (DE), and Management (DM), and was elevated to the College of Economics and Management from the merger of IADA with the Agricultural Credit and Cooperative Studies and the Agrarian Reform Institute in 1978. At present, CEM is composed of three departments – the Department of Agricultural Economics, the Department of Economics and the Department of Agribusiness Management. The college sees itself as a center of excellence in undergraduate and graduate instruction, research and extension in economics, agricultural and applied economics, and agribusiness management in Asia. It envisions to be an institution of higher learning that can serve as an active catalyst for economic and social transformation.

Data covering the period 1980-2011 was collected from the Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin, and transparency international Agency annual publications and analyzed using econometric approach. The stationary status of the time series data was examined using Augmented Dickey Fuller test. The regressand is Real Gross Domestic Product (RGDP), The regressors are Foreign direct investment (FDI), Oil revenue (OIL), Corruption index (CI), External debt (EXDEBT). The series attained stationary after differencing. The Johansen cointegration test was conducted to ascertain the long run equilibrium condition of the variables in the model. The variables were cointegrated because four cointegrating equations were found. The Parsimonous model was established to account for the short run dynamic adjustments required for stable long run equilibrium. It was discovered that the variables: oil revenue and corruption index impacts negatively on Real GDP, while FDI and EXDEBT have positive impact on the growth of the economy. This means that the resource curse theory is proven to be true in Nigeria. The...

...Introduction Food Intake I was born to a father with the history of Diabetic mellitus and on my mother’s side; there is a history of High Blood Pressure. Although my father is not diabetic, my mother has been diagnosed with blood pressure. Blood pressure has been a steady disease in my household which has affected four out my five uncles. In 2010, after a seven year long battle with infertility, I was diagnosed with High Blood Pressure which I was given medication for and shortly thereafter, I had a son after my aggressive treatment. Ever since, I have always link most diseases with food intake and I strongly believe that my nutrition and my health work hand in hand. According to Grodner, Roth &Walkingshaw (2012), “The presence in the American diet of too much fat is directly related to several chronic diseases such as CAD and certain types of cancer. High-fat diets are indirectly related to type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension” (p.110). In order for me to remain in good health and to eliminate my disease, my daily food intake calorie should go to 2200 meal plan which includes breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner according to the super tracker web site . The purpose of this paper is to teach me how to eat healthy and to accomplish my goal of maintaining a healthy eating habit which includes an excellent food intake .

...In this paper, I am going to address gender stratification in relation to Marriage, Sexuality, and Reproductive health issues. I am going to use Monique and the Mango Rains written by Kri Holloway as ethnographic data, which she collected in Mali. My interpretations of gender stratification in Mali are women did not have the rights to choose their husband; women did not have ways to control the sex life and do not have ways to do birth control; women had to face extremely hard reproductive health issues. To start with, I would like to give some background analysis about gender norms and stratification in Mali. Mali is landlocked in the West Africa and it is one of the poorest countries in the world. According to the book, there was even no toilet paper in the Malian villages. I couldn’t imagine how poor this country is, but I think the fact of “The right hand is considered clean, the left dirty” is quiet shocking (page. 7). In Mali, the social systems are Patrilocal and Patrilinieal. When people get married in Mali, the wife joins the husband in his father’s home or compound, where they form a family and raise their children. Normally, the household has a senior member to lead the family in terms of allocate resources and direct labors. Also, the descent follows the father’s line in Mali. According to the book, “The Minianka were patrilineal, where the woman becomes part of the husband’s family, and children carry on their father’s name and ancestral history of taboos...

... yet polar opposites of one another. Scenarios such as this pose the question of what makes a person who they are, their environment, or their genes. For centuries the controversy between nature and nurture has been argued among experts. The debate is whether environmental influences or genetic inheritance is responsible for our human makeup. History of Nature versus Nurture From the thirteenth century researcher to present day, the nature nurture controversy is anything but a new topic, although techniques and biases may differ throughout the centuries. In the Beginning In 1874, Francis Galton, published his book English Men of Science: Their Nature and Nurture, which “lays partial claim to the nature versus nurture phrase” (Groff, 1998, para.1). Galton states nature and nurture, “separates under two distinct heads the innumerable elements of which personality is composed. Nature is all that a man brings with him into the world; nurture is every influence from without that affects him after his birth” (Galton, 1874). However, in 1911 a manuscript was found dating back to the thirteenth century which suggested the terms of nature and nurture as well. Previous to this, the philosophers Aristotle and Plato make the assertion of nature and nurture in the period between 428 B.C and 322 B.C. It is hard to speculate when this debate truly began. As the Pendulum Swings Though nature and nurture were speculated on, the debate did not become widely known until the 1800’s...
