\"1 Tait and the Lawrence County petitioners spoke of inflated prices and manipulated markets, but they failed to mention how Mississippi stocks completed the violent dispossession of Native Americans' land and the forceful relocation of African Americans. Over time, the most dominant anti-Yazoo argument to emerge focused on how the sale was unconstitutional because it violated sacred republican principles that demanded the interests of the people be put before that of speculating companies and government officials. [...]this line of reasoning saw corruption as nullifying any legislative act. [...]the urgency of settling domestic disputes dampened in the face of increasingly tense international circumstances and a stagnant economy. [...]Native Americans from the Ohio Valley through the Tennessee Valley united in an effort to drive whites east during 1810.

Though published vocal scores of Broadway musicals imply sole musical authorship the archives reveal a more complex picture. Five case studies illustrate different approaches to the compositional process in the 1940s and 1950s: Richard Rodgers, who produced fair copies in piano-vocal score for each of his songs; Cole Porter, who regularly used an amanuensis but sometimes produced fair copies; Frank Loesser, who initially used an amanuensis but later in his career produced detailed fragments of music for his arrangers to turn into performance scores; Frederick Loewe, who worked closely with an arranger to produce fair copies; and Robert Wright and George Forrest, who went through a complicated process of selecting and adapting the work of composers of art music such as Borodin and Rachmaninov. Detailed study of the available manuscripts makes clear that score production was nearly always a collaborative activity on Broadway, whether it involved amanuenses, copyists, arrangers, or orchestrators. Although in each of these cases the named composer retains an authorial role, in practical terms the archives reveal them to be “collaborators” rather than “authors,” working as a member of a team to create each performance score. As such, their aims were to facilitate performance events rather than to produce fixed works.

Low-income consumers were the fastest-growing segment of the population, but P&G’s global premium products were too expensive for this market segment. Star performers are individuals who produce disproportionately large amounts of cumulative output compared to their peers (Aguinis and Bradley, 2015). Because of their outsized contributions, these individuals have a large positive influence on key outcomes such as firm survival, retention of clients, new product development, and many other outcomes success criteria that are important to organizations. In other words, we analyze how individuals experience CSR by taking an active role in searching for and finding meaningfulness. Because CSR expands the notion of work to go outside of one’s particular job and organization, and beyond an exclusive profit-focused perspective, it is an ideal conduit for individuals to make sense of and find meaningfulness through work.

What people think they know is shaped by statements that they hear over and over until they become convinced that they must be true. Of the American business corporation, we often hear the following statements. The corporation is a legal person, with rights and obligations like those possessed by other persons such as us. Unlike us, the corporation has perpetual life. Its owner-shareholders have limited liability. Each share is entitled to one vote in the governance process that elects directors and makes other shareholder decisions. The purpose of the corporation is to produce and market goods and services in such a way as to maximize profits and share price, or what is often termed shareholder value or shareholder wealth. The largest of all the early US corporations were the two Banks of the US (BUS) chartered by Congress. The first BUS, the brainchild of Alexander Hamilton in 1790, was particularly influential because many features of its charter were copied in many later bank and some non-bank charters.

The jury on Friday decided Jake Fairest, Georgia Fields and Warwick Toovey murdered Robert Wright, who was also deaf. During the special hearing, an Auslan interpreter gave evidence about CCTV footage from a train that showed the trio telling each other it would be \"easy\" to make Mr Wright fall to his death and \"splatter\". Prosecutor Christopher Dane QC told the jury that [Toohey] and Fairest grabbed Mr Wright and pushed him over the balcony railing as [Fields] looked on.

Jake Fairest, Warwick Toohey and Georgia Fields have been found unfit to stand trial but are subject to a special hearing over the 2015 alleged murder of Robert Wright. Mr Wright, who was also deaf, died of catastrophic head injuries after falling from the balcony of the second-floor Ringwood unit he shared with Toohey on January 15 last year.

From ratification of the Constitution until the U.S. Civil War, private enterprise radically improved the nation's transportation infrastructure, specifically through the incorporation and subsequent physical creation of toll bridges and roads, canals, railroads, and transportation companies. Private transportation investment exceeded that of the state and national governments combined, primarily because private ventures, especially for-profit, joint stock corporations, provided transportation goods more efficiently than early governments could. Although the antebellum transportation system was imperfect, it greatly reduced travel times and freight costs and thus helped to make commodity and financial markets more efficient and the nation more politically unified than it otherwise would have been.

The majority of Canadians embraced nationalist ideals and many historians posit that Trudeau’s term was the ‘Golden Age’ of Canadian nationalism. 1 Historian Robert Wright attributes this boom in nationalism with the fact that young Canadians were vocal participants in the development of state programs and they reaped the benefits of its development. 2 They similarly saw the benefits of the leftist protectionism of Canadian content, which helped spur the solidification of national identity and encourage active involvement. 3 In 1972 Trudeau was asked about what he thought of the large number of young people, “hitchhiking around the country… instead of taking a job,” he responded, I think it’s great. The mockumentary is critical of the responsibility of the documentary team, led by McDonald, while similarly reveals the struggle between Canadian cultural identity and the U.S. The film follows Hard Core Logo, a punk band reunited for one last tour to support an injured punk icon. Choosing to stay in Canada is choosing to remain true to punk rock ideals, to focus on music and eschew the trappings of fame, if only because there are no trappings to be famous within the country”.20 Near the end of the film Billy Talent decides to return to Jenifur and shares this information with McDonald. The author marks how as a culture Canadians are now trying to formulate a singular identity but are too aware of the multiple perspectives, genders, races and classes to formulate singular national identity. 34 Wright agrees that the Canadian identity is fractured but instead blames globalisation for the lack of a unified national image.
