Defendants were guilty of mail fraud and other violations. Why would they be convicted on multiple counts, rather than just one count for their illegal activity? Is that just piling on more punishment for the same event?

This case talks about a cattle rancher and Mc Connell who is an accountant. They are involved in many business related to cattle for more than 10 years. They had more assets than they represented. They took funds from banks and their clients to invest further. The situation arises when the price of cattle goes down in the year 2001 and they file a case of bankruptcy as they closed their business. The claim of cattle done by them is 343000 but they owned only 17000 of them. Banks lost $36 million and investors lost $147 million. Later on they admitted their mistake of claiming more. They were guilty of mail fraud and other violations. They should not be convicted for more multiple counts than one count for their illegal activity. Yes there is a piling on more punishment for the same event. Here in this case, sentencing guidelines are applied. Cattle rancher was sentenced to 108 months in prison and McConnell to 87 months. These sentences are imposed by the judges for criminal law violation. Earlier when these sentences were proposed, there were supporters as judges were easy on the punishment. Some judges were tough on punishment. It was unfair to treat the same crime with different punishments. Hence, later the Supreme Court made these guidelines advisory than mandatory. In this case also there is no proper application of the punishment. There is a piling of punishment for the same event.

The anti-apartheid movement that continued in South Africa for long had been explicitly projected in the movie, “Sarafina.” In terms of the anti-apartheid movement it can be said that, “The iconic struggle between the apartheid regime of South Africa and those who resisted it illustrates the complexity of some cases of civil resistance. Originally the use of civil resistance against apartheid was based on Gandhian ideas, which originated in South Africa in 1906 where Gandhi was a lawyer working for an Indian trading firm” (Kurtz, 2010).

I am compelled to express concern over pricing quote given to a new customer (Mr Wincey) in a new project. You should know that we are not able to meet our breakeven also for this project. You have undercharged Mr Wincey $429 which seems to be a loss for the company. As we know, it is very important and difficult to attract new customers but at the same time it is very important to finalise the deal at the right quote. It is great of you to crack a deal with him since we were trying for a new project from him over a long period of time. It is very important to price rightly to any new customer. We have to meet our breakeven at least and then charge him. I am concerned about how the recent situation was handled.

For Paper I, conduct research on local legends in Tennessee.You may not use the Bell Witch legend. To find a local legend to use in your paper, begin your research on the World Wide Web. You might try typing in key word like “Tennessee legends” or “Tennessee ghost stories.” If you cannot find a Tennessee legend that you wish to use on the Web, you may have to go to your local library. Many local libraries have Tennessee Rooms where books on Tennessee are kept. Other libraries will not have Tennessee Rooms, and you will need to use the electronic catalog to locate possible sources. Newspaper and magazine articles might also be excellent sources of legends. Be sure to check newspaper and magazine databases. After you have found a legend that you wish to use in your paper, photocopy or print it. You must turn in a copy of the original legend with your paper. (Do not just send the URL for the legend.)Now retell the story in your own words, embellishing it much like Irving did his tales. Feel free to add details to make the story longer and more interesting. Because legends are a part of the oral tradition, the original stories have already been altered greatly over the years.The minimum length of the paper is two typed pages. Be sure to turn in your original source with your paper. Be careful not to plagiarize your original source. Your paper must be in MLA style and include a Works Cited page. You will lose points for incorrect documentation.
