The changes in marriage, divorce, and fertility rates since the 1960s have been inextricably linked with changes in attitudes towards work and, in particular, with changes in women's work patterns both in and out of the household. In that same time period, economists have come to realize that standard economic theory can be applied to many aspects of family life including marriage, fertility, divorce, and the division of work and leisure within the household. In this course we will use economic theory, both neo-classical and feminist, to explore how gender differences lead to different economic outcomes for men and women, both within families and in the marketplace. Course Prerequisite: Economics 119, Principles of Economics, is a necessary prerequisite, since we will make use of concepts, vocabulary, analytical skills and other tools developed in the Principles course. Course Readings: The following texts are required and can be purchased at the Macalester Bookstore or online. Additional readings will be made available...

According to Turban & Volonino (2011): “DMS can help a business to become more efficient and productive by the: enabling the company to access and use the content contained in the documents, reducing the time and effort required to locate information the business needs to support decision making, improving the security of the content and thereby reducing the risk of intellectual property theft.” (p.68) The DMS transformed the way that businesses operate, a part of the cost reduction can work more efficiently simply by accessing a database and avoid losing information as often happens in the papers. Spring Street Company should implement the DMS system. If the company decided to implement the major first step is figure out the workflows and processes to make that system meet its potential, and maximize its adoption. Also entered most of the old data and new data will be entered electronically. SSC will continue using paper but less than before the implement the new system. Document Management System ensures that the company will be able to perform better and work efficiently within this environment. SSC should adopt the new system and rapidly make the transition over to a fully digital workflow. 2. Using the data collected by Sam, create a spreadsheet that calculates the costs of handling paper at SSC based on average hourly rates per employee...

...Mapping the Supply Chain for Deodorant Soap James Brown MKT/421 May 08, 2014 Ken Metz Mapping the Supply Chain for Deodorant Soap In 1970 Colgate-Palmolive marketed Irish Spring deodorant bar soap for the first time (Colgate-Palmolive Company, 2015). Irish Spring is one of many products produced by the 200 year old maker of personal care products. This paper will examine and map the supply chain used to produce, distribute, and sell deodorant soap. Manufacturer Colgate-Palmolive Company (CPC) uses outside manufacturers to provide the raw materials necessary to produce Irish Spring and its other deodorant soap products. According to CPC’s 2013 form 10-K, it spent $267 million on research and development (R&D). The R&D element is the beginning of the supply chain process for deodorant soap. CPC developed a compatible combination of ingredients necessary to create Irish Spring bar soap. The two major raw materials necessary to manufacture deodorant bar soap are animal fat and alkali ("How Soap Is Made", 2015). CPC acquires these two chemicals, as well as the raw materials necessary for adding fragrance from other companies. The suppliers send CPC the raw materials to manufacture and package the deodorant soap for shipment through its supply chain. CPC maintains its own marketing department, which responsibilities can include creating an innovation pipeline for each product, developing enticing packaging, and advertising the product to consumers on...

...Executive Summary The aim of the research was to answer the main research question: ‘What caused the Arab Spring’ In order to tackle this question; desk research, case studies and an interview with Mr Farrid Benkaddour have been conducted. Farrid Benkaddour is a Moroccan sociologist, he started his career in Morocco after obtaining his baccalaureate in 1984. Since then he has been a teacher in Morocco, afterwards he went to the Netherlands to teach Dutch people about Moroccan culture. He currently works for Arabika, a company that specializes in legal assistance, translations, language trainings and intercultural communications. The desk research revealed the opinions of the Arab spring’s countries inhabitants. Inflation, unemployment and poor housing conditions prevailed as a direct consequence of insufficient dictatorial regimes. Freshly graduated youth was left jobless with no sign of improvement in the near future. People became more and more aware of the lack of political influence they had and started idealizing the western political democratic models. The interview and case studies showed there have been negative thoughts about the dictatorial regimes ever since their instalment. Protests have been seen throughout the history of the Arab world. The difference, however, between those protests and the Arab Spring is the modern age. Where earlier protests failed due to lack of support, the modern age tools such as (social-)media carried the Arab spring’s unfolding...

...When classes resumed the week after spring break, I had more time to work on my service learning project because I have finished my midterms and research papers the week before spring break started. When I arrived at the CSUN archaeology lab I continued to organize and catalog the geology collection into different piles. Most of the items in the collection are textbooks, Department of Water and Power reports, court cases files on L.A. County properties, and other miscellaneous items. I noticed that many of the items in the geology collection do not have any spatial relationship between them. I found old candy bars, empty toothpaste tubes, and old unpaid bills scattered all over the geology collection. Based on the theory of post processual archaeology, I hypothesized that the donor of a geology collection did not care how he organized the items inside the boxes and I believe that the donor might be a...

However just to pin- prick your pride here is Wikipedia's article on 'Hin'glish. Don't make the silly mistakes pointed here. BTW as I said, poets are chauvinistic; if you prick my pride with a pin. Ouch! It swells! 2.) Intern in every possible break. Intern after college hours, if possible. There are also online internships possible. The online internships offered by the National Judicial Academy, Bhopal and the Volintern program of Nishith Desai Associates are doable. 3.) Research. Write papers. Write professional blogs. If you want to get into a corporate firm write on corporate law. If you IP is your field get cracking on IP topics. Look for call for papers here. (In your comments you may thank me for this link). 4.) In summers do summer courses. In winters do winter courses. With all this workload you will not remain a SPRING CHICKEN. But still, try doing a SPRING course. Soon from a chicken you will turn into a hen. An egg laying hen actually. If you do not change, you still will be a productive chick.
