...Unit 6 – Assignment 02/23/2014 Statutory citation: Mass. Gen. Laws Ann. Ch. 244, §§ 14, 17B, 18, and 35A (Ch. 183C, §9 for high cost home mortgages), and it was amended on August 3, 2012. Title Theory is a property law doctrine that a mortgage transfers titles to a property to the mortgagee, who holds it until the mortgage has been paid off. In other hand, the Lien Theory provides that a mortgagee of property holds only a lien, and not a title to the property until such time the mortgage is fully paid. The difference between these two theories are that in a Lien Theory the buyer retains the deed to the property, and in the title theory, the bank or finance company is the one issues the loan will hold the title until the loan is satisfied. While this difference is little at the time of the closing, it can make a big difference if there is ever a possibility of foreclosure. The State of Massachusetts used the Title Theory, and the foreclosure process has many steps. Under this process, the Lender must file a complaint under the service member’s civil relief act in a land court or superior court, stating the intent of the foreclosure. Homeowners must be served with a copy of the complaint and has 20 days to file an answer. The following steps are included in this process: 1) Default and Right to Cure Notice – Homeowner falls behind on mortgage payments, it may receive collection calls or letters from the lender.

...not Abraham Lincoln was great leader has he had clarity of vision. He was the 16th president of United States in 19th century. During his tenure, he did many things as a president. For example, he helped in the “Civil War”, delivered many important speeches and letters to try to unite the Union. However, he is highly remembered as the president who freed the slaves from slavery (Foner 70). There is argument whether Abraham Lincoln deserves the title “The Great Emancipator?” To many the question is very controversial especially among the historians as some support that he deserve the tittle and others dispute that he do not (Foner 82).

...was properly recorded in the cash receipts journal and subsidiary accounts receivable ledger. 4) The auditor should check the date in which the payment was made. If it was around when the confirmations were sent out, then probably there’s a normal lag in the recording of cash receipts. However, if the auditors determine the balance has been paid for months, then employees might be engaged in fraudulent activities. The auditor should trace the payment to cash records. 5) As of September 30th tittle has not transferred since shipping agreement was FOB destination, which means that tittle transfers when the goods arrived to the customer’s warehouse on October 5th.

...The second class of micro-level origin theories, control theories, explores the causes of deviance from an altogether different perspective. Control theories take for granted the existence of a cohesive set of norms shared by most persons in the society and reason that most persons want to and will typically conform to these prevailing social norms. The emphasis in these theories, unlike learning theories, is on the factors that bond individuals to conforming lifestyles. The bonds act as social and psychological constraints on the individual, binding persons to normative conformity (Toby 1957; Hirschi 1969). People deviate from norms when these bonds to conventional lifestyles are weak, and hence, when they have little restraining influence over the individual. Among control theorists, Travis Hirschi (1969) has made the greatest contributions to our knowledge about bonding processes and deviant behavior. Writing on the causes of delinquency, he argued that four aspects of bonding are especially relevant to control theory: emotional attachments to conforming others, psychological commitments to conformity, involvements in conventional activities, and beliefs consistent with conformity to prevailing norms. Among the most important of the bonding elements are emotional attachments individuals may have to conforming others and commitments to conformity—psychological investments or stakes people hold in a conforming lifestyle. Those having weak attachments—that is, people who are...

...San Francisco 49ers LEGENDS—The Golden Age of Pro Football, is a new 6" X 9," 305-page book, with 36 pages of photos. The book is essentially the definitive story of the 49ers' football team from their swirling tales of the old All-American Football Conference rivalries, and throughout the 1950s' decade in the National Football League. It's told personally by perhaps the team's most faithful follower - Martin Jacobs. It could be the book about the team's beginnings that most 49ers' fans will ultimately have on their shelves. Other books written about the 49ers dwell on facts, while not tapping into the personal devotion that Jacobs passionately express. Keep in mind there is, nor ever will be a book about the team's history which showcases a personal historic overview of the team's emerging years as this one. The book tells a story about the 49ers’ players we read about in...
