Mission: Macronutrients (N-P-K) Quayshaun Bailey the Motto of The Mission: Macronutrients (N-P-K) Quayshaun Bailey The motto of the United States Army and the god of its members is to “be all you can be.” However, as a soldier in the war being waged on black people in America my goal is to make my country all that it should be. A place where freedom, justice, and liberty for all is more than just a slogan and is an actual reality. Unfortunately, in the current state that we’re in we have a long way to go. Especially with what our great nation has in store for us next. Oh, and just in case you forgot who I am allow me to reintroduce myself. My name is Alaka and this is the mission: Macronutrients (N-P-K). There’s been a lot going on since my last mission. For instance, next year the U.S. government will be restricting countless people from government assistance; specifically, link card benefits. The worse part is that many of the people that will be affected are elderly and unemployed. It seems that things are being designed for my people to struggle and starve. However, every action has an equal but opposite reaction and what I have up my sleeves is going to rock the world. The boom heard in ghettos everywhere. I don’t think the world is ready for this. “Damn, its hot,” I say to myself as another sweat bead rolls down my face. An urge to wipe it away comes over me, but I know any attempt would be futile. I look up to see my reflection in the glass of a nearby window. I look like a mad scientist wearing the white hazmat suit, gasmask, rubber gloves and boots. The large sprayer on the table before me just adds on to the sinister appearance. Its fitting considering the circumstances, though, because after the government implements this new law I’m about to strike back. I take a bottle filled with a chemical formula and I pour the solution into the sprayer’s tank. The solution consists of seventeen different elements. The most important three being nitrogen (N), phosphorous (P), and potassium (K). All of which can be deadly if ingested and very harmful in other cases. After sealing the tank I grab it and head into the next room. As soon as I cross the threshold the room temperature raises another ten degrees, high powered lights hanging all throughout the room. Beneath them are rows of large plastic clothing bins. Each one is filled with perlite (volcanic ash), peat moss, and dirt. Although you may not be familiar with this mixture you will soon come to see its relevance. Lending no time to procrastination I instantly start zig-zagging from bin to bin saturating the contents with my sprayer. To the naked eye it appears to just be moist dirt, but on a molecular level it has undergone several chemical changes. All of which are necessary to accomplish the overall goal but are separately caused by the individual components. I know all of this might sound complex, so let me break it down for you. After I sprayed the mix of all of the elements in the solution was absorbed into and will await the moment they can be put to use. The nitrogen will lie dormant until it is utilized to create proteins and enzymes. This will occur when the nitrate binds to sugar fragments to form amino acids. The phosphorous will remain fixed until it is used to form ATP, which is the primary molecule for the transfer of biological energy. (That’s right, its not just chemical anymore. We’ve advanced to biological warfare). As for the potassium, it will await the moment it will be used to stimulate cell expansion. Without it the bioorganism, or this mission would never grow. After several minutes of work, I finally make it to the last bin. However, as I approach it I suddenly hear a hissing sound coming from the sprayer. When I remove the strap from my shoulder, I sense that something is terribly wrong. I toss the sprayer and take cover. BOWWW!!! A few moments pass and I approach the scene again. My sprayer is ruined; the entire tank is busted rendering it useless. Nevertheless, I would much rather it be the sprayer than me. I’ve come too far in this struggle to go out like that. After cleaning up the mess I start to wrap up for the day. As I step out of my hazmat suit an awkward feeling comes over me. The close call I had with the explosion has my mind flooded with thoughts of mortality. I know that there’s a chance that this mission might go terribly wrong; many of my predecessors have been assassinated for attempting to do less than what I’ve set out to do. Yet, despite the butterflies in my stomach nothing is going to stop me from going through with this. They’re just going to have to do what they have to do with me, but before I go I guarantee they bear witness to my power. On my way out of the facility I approach the light switch. I take a moment to look back at my creation as I hold it in my hand. Then right before I send the room into darkness, I utter two prophetic words. “Watch this.” Three months later Peoria, IL - Public Affairs Office - January Crowds of people line the street in protest. Picket signs are being waved, people are shouting at the top of their lungs, and there is a small shoving match between them and the police. As usual the officers are trying to restrict the protest to a certain area. In this case, away from the public aide building. Tension rises as a young boy is knocked to the ground by mistake. The boy’s mother helps him to his feet and then gets in the officer’s face that is responsible. She calls him every slur imaginable, spit particles inadvertently flying all over his face and for a moment I thought he might hit her. A part of me wishes I was beside her just in case, but I’m not even a part of the protest. Not this time. As I observe everything from my car, which is parked a block away, I can’t help but to think about how frivolous their actions seem. I understand that people are upset but asking for their Link back is like begging a robber to give them their money back. It’s not going to happen. That’s why I’m not wasting my breath. I turn around and pat my hand on the large boxes stacked on my back seat. They can plead all they want, but I’m going to do something about it. I’ve got something for them. Beep! Beep! Pulled from my thoughts I look up to see a car idling beside mines. My sister, Alnisha, locks eyes with me from the driver’s seat and nods her head. I return the gesture in confirmation and three men simultaneously exit her car. They remove the boxes from my back seat as Alnisha pulls away to park. I pull down my sun visor and examine myself in the mirror as I wrap my mind around the moment. Mustering up all the strength I have I pull my skull cap down low and once again it’s on. I open the box and remove the contents and people start scrambling. Everyone is moving so fast the police are unsure what to do. I take what’s in my hand and I toss it. Time seems to stand still as I watch it soar through the air. It lands in the hands of a smiling elderly woman with a small grey afro. A light flickers in her eyes as she peers into the bag of fresh fruit and vegetables. Within moments the boxes that say free produce are wiped clean and that same light can be seen in eyes all around . Yeah, yeah, I already know what you’re thinking - here I go with this again. When I said biological warfare, you were probably expecting me to infect everyone with ebola. Well, that's what you get for thinking so negatively of me. I told you I’m just trying to make my country everything that it should be, and I don’t need to hurt people to do it. Now, let me break down what was really happening in that facility. The perlite, peat moss, and dirt come together to form soil media. A mixture that will allow for aeration, water retention, and the storage of nutrients to be made possible in the soil. Basically, this is the perfect environment to grow a plant. As for the nitrogen (N), phosphorous (P), and potassium (K) - they’re the three main elements (macronutrients) needed to produce a plant life and that’s what all of their functions I mentioned relate to. So, in case you haven’t figured it out by now the solution I was spraying was just fertilizer and it helped me feed all of those people. I know it’s not much, but this is only the beginning. As I stated before, the marathon continues. In memory of Nipsey Hustle. .

  • “Clean Hands” Doctrine
    Announcing the “Clean Hands” Doctrine T. Leigh Anenson, J.D., LL.M, Ph.D.* This Article offers an analysis of the “clean hands” doctrine (unclean hands), a defense that traditionally bars the equitable relief otherwise available in litigation. The doctrine spans every conceivable controversy and effectively eliminates rights. A number of state and federal courts no longer restrict unclean hands to equitable remedies or preserve the substantive version of the defense. It has also been assimilated into statutory law. The defense is additionally reproducing and multiplying into more distinctive doctrines, thus magnifying its impact. Despite its approval in the courts, the equitable defense of unclean hands has been largely disregarded or simply disparaged since the last century. Prior research on unclean hands divided the defense into topical areas of the law. Consistent with this approach, the conclusion reached was that it lacked cohesion and shared properties. This study sees things differently. It offers a common language to help avoid compartmentalization along with a unified framework to provide a more precise way of understanding the defense. Advancing an overarching theory and structure of the defense should better clarify not only when the doctrine should be allowed, but also why it may be applied differently in different circumstances.

    April 2007 Se Habla Lawsuit? By Edward Blum Though an understanding of English is a requirement for U.S. citizenship, Section 203 of the Voting Rights Act mandates that “language assistance” be available to voters in districts with non-native speaker popula- tions that meet certain criteria. The enforcement of Section 203, however, costs taxpayers tens of thou- sands of dollars, and there is no evidence it helps non-native speakers vote. The experiences of Springfield, Massachusetts, illustrate these problems. “A City of Homes . A City for Business . Springfield, like hundreds of other towns and On the Issues A City Rich with History and Multi-cultural counties around the country, is subject to Section Diversity”—so reads the motto of Springfield, 203 of the Voting Rights Act because, among Massachusetts (pop. 150,000), halfway between many other complex criteria, more than 5 percent New York and Boston.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, ET AL., Defendants-Appellees. No. 17-3221 Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division. No. 17 C 3417—Amy J. St. Eve, Judge. Before: WOOD, Chief Judge, MANION, and ROVNER, Circuit Judges. WOOD, Chief Judge. Kenneth Mayle, an adherent of what he calls non- theistic Satanism, sued the United States and officials from the United States Mint, Department of the Treasury, and Bureau of Engraving and Printing, to enjoin the printing of the national motto, "In God We Trust," on United States currency. The district court dismissed his complaint, and we affirm. App. 2a Mayle asserts that the motto amounts to a gov- ernment endorsement of a "monotheistic concept of God." Because Satanists practice a religion that rejects monotheism, they regard the motto as "an attack on their very right to exist." Possessing and using currency, Mayle complains, forces him (and his fellow Satanists) to affirm and spread a religious message "committed to the very opposite ideals that he es- pouses." In addition, Mayle characterizes the printing of the motto as a form of discrimination against adher- ents to minority religions because it favors practition- ers of monotheistic religions.

  • Fraudulent Financial Reporting Practices: Case Study of Satyam Computer Limited
    Madan Lal Bhasin, / Journal of Economics, Marketing, and Management 4(3), pp.12-24. ISSN: 2288-7709 © 2016 EABEA. http://www.icma.or.kr doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.13106/jemm.2016.vol4.no3.12 Fraudulent Financial Reporting Practices: Case Study of Satyam Computer Limited Madan Lal Bhasin Professor, School of Accountancy, College of Business, Universiti Utara Malaysia, Sintok, Kedah Darul Aman, Malaysia. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Fraudulent financial reporting practices can have significant consequences for organizations and all stakeholders, as well as, for public confidence in the capital and security markets. In fact, comprehensive, accurate and reliable financial reporting is the bedrock upon which our markets are based. Keen to project a rosy picture of the Satyam to investors, employees and analysts, Mr. Raju (CEO and Chairman) fudged the account books so that it appeared to be a far bigger enterprise, with high profits and fast growth rate, than it actually was. The Satyam fraud has shattered the dreams of different categories of investors, shocked the government and regulators alike, and led to questioning of the accounting practices of statutory auditors and corporate governance norms in India. This is an exploratory study based on secondary sources of information. An attempt has been made to provide an explanation for various intriguing questions about Satyam scam. After thorough investigations by the CBI and SEBI, they have unveiled the methodology by which Satyam fraud was engineered. Finally, we recommend “Fraudulent reporting practices should be considered as a serious crime, and accounting bodies, courts and other regulatory authorities in India need to adopt very strict punitive measures to stop such unethical practices.” Keywords: Fraudulent Financial Reporting Practices, Satyam Computer, Modus-Operandi, Financial Statements, Corporate Governance, Auditors, Forensic Accounting, Corporate Culture and Ethics, SEBI, SFIO, CID, India.

  • The Following Remarks Were Delivered to the Staff of the Texas State
    The following remarks were delivered to the staff of the Texas State Library and Archives Commission on the occasion of the second Learning Engagement Opportunities Day, November 8, 2019. Nor Is This All The Spirit of the Texas State Library and Archives Introduction--Motto Do you remember your senior year in high school? What about the little saying or motto you contributed to the yearbook with your picture? In my wife’s and my senior yearbooks, I found this variety with advice, reflection, philosophy: One, never let your parents get the upper hand. I had the world on a string. .until I woke up. No one knows the value of victory better than the one who has suffered defeat And, perhaps the one that both tickles and perplexes me the most: Yes, dear. Not just high school seniors, but public entities these days need a motto—that is: “a phrase meant to formally summarize the agency’s general motivation or intention” Of the mottos of the 174-plus Texas state agencies in the TRAIL list on your website, some are just lengthy, grinding mission statements. Some are brief maxims designed to capture the imagination. Perhaps the motto heard most frequently in these parts is: UT-Austin’s: What starts here changes the world. So, do you know the TSLA agency motto—the one on the website? Maybe you think it is or should be “Yes, dear.” No, that’s not it. It is: “preserving yesterday, informing today and inspiring tomorrow.” Yes, that’s good. But in studying the first century and a half of the TSLA history, I found that the agency has an informal motto that predates even the 1909 enactment of the statute under which the agency functions today, 110 years later.
