...was on contrasting indigenous and white perspectives, sources that were a blend of the two were examined extra closely (see: Phebe Jewell Nichols, a scholar that spent years documenting the Menominee’s legal fights against the government and Henry Baird, a white lawyer who concentrated on civil law relating to Native Americans). With more research, hopefully more Menominee centric perspectives can be added to the sources consulted, as right now the best resources to represent Menominee perspectives is an interview with David Grignon (the Menominee Historical Officer), Phebe Nichols’ writing, and a transcribed speech from Chief Oshkosh the Brave. Obviously none of these sources capture the modern Menominee conception of Oshkosh’s legacy, so a book or article by a...

...considerations permit, undertaking outreach programs aimed at informing potential users of their content and availability, and actively encouraging the exploitation of archives as a means of bettering society therefore this essay is designed to discuss the statement that archives are old documents which have no value to society, this will be done by looking at the importance of archives it will first start by defining the key term which is archive. Existed since ancient times, According to James O’Toole (1990), the term “archives” was originally used to “designate all collections of written records”. In the modern world, however, the word “archives” is commonly used in three different senses. First, archives are documents that are created or accumulated by an individual or an organization in the normal course of business. Second, archives are the independent agencies or programs within institutions that are responsible for selecting, preserving, and providing access to archival documents. Finally, archives are the buildings or repositories that house collections of archival documents. Archival institutions select, preserve, and make their records accessible for a number of reasons, including legal, financial, and administrative purposes.

...that determine events.[3][4] Historians debate the nature of history and its usefulness. This includes discussing the study of the discipline as an end in itself and as a way of providing "perspective" on the problems of the present.[3][5][6][7] The stories common to a particular culture, but not supported by external sources (such as the legends surrounding King Arthur) are usually classified as cultural heritage rather than the "disinterested investigation" needed by the discipline of history.[8][9] Events of the past prior to written record are considered prehistory. Amongst scholars, the 5th-century BC Greek historian Herodotus is considered to be the "father of history", and, along with his contemporary Thucydides, forms the foundations for the modern study of history. Their influence, along with other historical traditions in other parts of their world, have spawned many different interpretations of the nature of history which has evolved over the centuries and are continuing to change. The modern study of history has many different fields including those that focus on certain regions and those which focus on certain topical or thematical elements of historical investigation. Often history is taught as part of primary and secondary education, and the academic study of history is a major discipline in University studies. Contents [hide] 1 Etymology 2 Description 3...

(2005). Revisiting Transportation Planning. Public Works Management & Policy, 9(4), 270-277. The author revisits the contextual reality surrounding the U.S. transportation planning. Ankner (2005) examines the existing transportation planning models as well as decision-making tools, in supporting the view that the U.S. urban planning framework is either too divided or too limited in scope, thus, incapable of attaining the intended transportation goals. The source will inform the study by availing analytical context of the U.S. transportation system, and the legal and environmental frameworks which influences the planning decisions. Also, the source will avail recommendation on how the governments, at local, federal or state level, would capitalize on transportation system as informed by technological, demographics, and globalization issues affecting urban regions.

...The Friedel text is a work created in 1740 by German Pastor, Johann Paul Friedel. He resides in the village Oberweißbach, which is part of the larger municipality of Königsee, located near the rugged Thuringian Forest. The work combines a strange collection of issues, including how to rear and educate Christian children, basic information for the common man, and a history of the perfume trade in the local community. The beginning of the book is intended to assist in the rearing, education and disciplining of children. It illustrates the necessity of raising children in the Christian faith, and references the importance of learning such items as the Deuteronomy and the Lutheran Catechisms. Both of which give us reference into the historical period of the piece. Friedel also greatly advocates that the “fear of God” should be instilled into people’s lives, and furthermore that the “fear of Lord is the genesis of wisdom”. He states that both parents and children must use this fear to rule their decision making and lifestyle choices, and if so will be rewarded with an honourable, joyful life. The book is created to give both parents and teachers a reference guide of subjects that children should learn in order to develop into a knowledgeable honest adult, including reading and writing skills, and basic arithmetic. The piece uses common sense logic and aims to teach the basic skills such as proper greetings, common letter writing techniques and basic mathematic requirements...

...Riordan Manufacturing Business System Proposal Paul Belanger, Aaron Ledger, Dacia Faulk, Ian Westerfield, Jennifer Gallaway University of Phoenix Introduction Being the industry leader in polymer materials and per our mission statement, Riordan Manufacturing must remain in step with industry trends. In order to effectively attain this objective, we must acclimatize, embrace, and take advantage of new and innovative technologies. In addition to identifying existing systems employed within the company that are in need of upgrades, the remainder of this paper will also address new systems as well as sub-systems needed and present a brief summary of why these systems would be advantageous to the future of Riordan Manufacturing. Finance and Accounting Overview Riordan manufacturing employs nine basic finance and accounting subsystems globally and three additional subsystems at the San Jose, California corporate headquarters. The atmosphere of interoperability between each of Riordan’s offices (California, Georgia, Michigan, and China) is at best hostile. At present, each operating entity has its own finance and accounting system resulting in a number of inefficiencies due to company-wide systems incompatibility, a lot of which stems from the Michigan and Georgia acquisition. To better establish potential interoperability between existing subsystems, it is first necessary to define the current subsystems of each Riordan office, existing software solutions, and how these...

Furthermore, the domain of business ethics also analyzes the controversies that keep arises from time to time. These controversies are generally multidimensional such as violation of employees’ rights, discrimination in the job, whistle blowing and questionable activities by corporate officials. Ethics and the importance of ethical decision making have become increasingly important because of the pressure on corporate executives by shareholders, creditors and other parties affected by financial performances. It is therefore not new that a study of management companies found that nearly three-quarters of respondents felt that the unethical behavior such as personal trading, insider trading and fraudulent financial reporting are areas of high interest. Expectations of high standards of ethical business behavior are rising; companies are exposed to legal and economic sanctions for the continuation of immoral and illegal behavior. Indeed, some companies have ethical leadership in the market as a central part of their business strategy. They believe...

...For other uses, see Constitution (disambiguation). A constitution is a set of fundamental principles or established precedents according to which a state or other organization is governed.[1] These rules together make up, i.e. constitute, what the entity is. When these principles are written down into a single document or set of legal documents, those documents may be said to embody a written constitution; if they are written down in a single comprehensive document, it is said to embody a codified constitution. Constitutions concern different levels of organizations, from sovereign states to companies and unincorporated associations. A treaty which establishes an international organization is also its constitution, in that it would define how that organization is constituted. Within states, a constitution defines the principles upon which the state is based, the procedure in which laws are made and by whom. Some constitutions, especially codified constitutions, also act as limiters of state power, by establishing lines which a state's rulers cannot cross, such as fundamental rights. An example is the constitution of the United States of America. George Washington at Constitutional Convention of 1787 signing of the U.S. Constitution. The Constitution of India is the longest written constitution of any sovereign country in the world,[2] containing 444 articles in 22 parts,[3][4] 12 schedules and 118 amendments, with 117,369 words in its English-language translation,[5]...

...Computer College Effectivity: SY 2014-2015 Document Reference: QR-AAD-013 Life and Works of Jose Rizal (SSCI 111) Revision No: 00 Issue No: 01 Date Issued: LEARNING MODULE TITLE The Historical Background of the Rizal Law and 19th Century Philippines LEARNING MODULE RATIONALE In this module, we will discuss the historical context of the Rizal Law. Before we tackle Jose Rizal’s life and works, it is important discuss its legal basis and the issues surrounding it for us to understand why we need to study this course and what we must achieve in studying it. Historians agree that every historical actor is a product of his time, therefore it is equally important and beneficial for our study to learn the historical context of Jose Rizal – the social, economic and political milieu of his time in order to contextualize our study of his life and works. Doing away with historical context, might mislead us from a genuine reading and understanding of Jose Rizal’s life and works. In order to achieve this, we will start our study by having a glimpse of the 19th century Philippines or the last century of Spanish colonial regime in the Philippine. LEARNING OUTCOMES The following are the learning outcomes we are expected to achieve at the end of the lesson: Understand the historical background and rationale of the Rizal Law and the Historical context of 19th Century Philippines • Explain the rationale of the Rizal Law • Discuss the historical context of the Rizal Law • Describe the Spanish...
