Finansal kiralama.
. ÖNSÖZ Leasing kavrami, bir mala sahip olma yolundaki geleneksel düsüncenin, çagimiz ekonomik anlayisina uygun olarak degisimi sonucu ortaya çikmistir. Asirlar boyunca insanlar varliklarini devam ettirebilmek için mal edinmek yoluyla güçlü olmak zorunlulugunu hissetmisler, mülkiyetin zenginlige, zenginligin güce yol açtigina inanmislar ve dolayisiyla tüm gayretlerini daha çok mal edinmeye yönlendirmislerdir. Çagimizda, daha çok üretim daha fazla kar slogani ile hareket eden mütesebbisler artik mala sahip olma olgusunun yalniz basina yeterli olmadigina, üretim yoluyla kar elde etmenin daha geçerli olduguna inanmaktadirlar. Böylece, yillar önce Aristo'nun " zenginlik bir seye sahip olmaktan çok, onu kullanmakta yatar" düsüncesi, günümüzde dogrulanarak, "bir malin mülkiyeti degil, fakat kullanimi verim getirir" ilkesi biçiminde uygulama alanina aktarilmistir. Mülkiyet ile zenginlik arasindaki münasebetin zayiflamasi, belli üretim araçlarinin mülkiyetine sahip olmadan yalnizca bunlarin kullanim imkanlarina kavusabilme sayesinde üretim yapilabilecegi ve kar temin edilebilecegi, sonuçta zenginlige ulasilabilecegi anlamina gelmektedir. Isletmeler, piyasadaki rakipleriyle mücadelenin yanisira varliklarinin devami için gelisen teknolojiyi de izlemek zorundadirlar. Isletmelerin öz kaynaklari ile karlarinin bir bölümünün, makine ve
The Veil; Reasons Behind Its Removal
Sarah El Tarzi 900010574 The Veil; Reasons Behind Its Removal Dr. Chad Haines Anthropology 380 Research paper Introduction: Having seen the contradicting opinions regarding the concept of the veiled teenager, I have always been interested in the stories behind why a teenage girl, 20 years or younger, would decide to be veiled and a few months later decide that she should not be. The issue of being veiled at such an early (in my personal opinion) age was one that was frequently visited in several classes and among my friends, and I saw this as an opportunity to research the topic further. I study psychology at the American University in Cairo, and since I am immensely interested in how a person comes to decisions and behaves certain ways. I never understood the idea behind being veiled at such an early age, not only because no one in my family is veiled, but actually because some people who I was acquainted with got veiled (later removing it). Choosing to be veiled is a serious and sensitive subject that requires the person to be fully certain of their beliefs since they are choosing to conduct their lives in a different way than they had before. The magnitude of faith that is involved in this decision is something that impressed me, but was shattered when almost 70% of the people that I was familiar with ended up taking the veil off later. I decided that perhaps
Dependency on Technology - Negative Impact on Human Communication
Dependency on Technology: Negative Impacts on Human Communication Quazi Mohammad Faisal North South University Tuesday, December 22, 2009 Abstract Technology has indeed made tremendous impact to society as well as on the quantity and manner by which we communicate with each other. The ease of communication may have been improved, but our lives have become more impersonal as a result. The research was focused on the area of technology's application on our lives and how it is affecting our interpersonal communication. The research was initiated in the belief that the abundant use of technology might be influencing the real human communication. The primary research was performed by questioning certain individuals regarding their usage of various technologies and how this made impressions on their lives. The findings showed that the increasing dependency on technology is actually hindering the interpersonal communication. Furthermore, the secondary research on the topic also provided various data and information that also suggests that this technology dependency is also creating impediments for the real human communication. The findings of both form of researches eventually confirms the hypothesis.

Rule-based vs. SMT: Idiomatic expressions and collocations
Rule-based vs. SMT: Idiomatic expressions and collocations 7 juin 2011 Abstract Languages complexity is reinforced by the use of elements such as collocations and idiomatic expressions. Since the creation of Machine Translation systems (MT), those collocations and idioms generate complications in translating data, due to their syntax as well as their omnipresence. In this paper, we describe how two different commercial MT Systems are managing them and the results arising from their methods. The procedures examined will be the rule-based approach (Systran) and the statistical one (Google) for the language pair French-English. The obtained results show evidence concerning the influence of adjacency and insertion of alien elements in segments, in the achievement of a quality output as much as the impact of colorful and metaphorical elements. INTRODUCTION E. Wehrli and D. Anastasiou pointed out that current Machine Translation systems are facing difficulties both rule-based systems and statistical ones, in tackling the issue of idioms and collocations. The key element for a proper translation is the identification of those elements, their extraction in the source-text in order to propose a correct output. As they fail to do so, the target text is often too literal, compositional-like (the term’s meaning are summed up to form a sentence) and sound unnatural. As a

We face an important and difficult challenge: getting America to recognize the importance of developing a drug policy that does not rely on force but is consistent with public health, limited government, individual rights, and personal responsibility.
We face an important and difficult challenge: getting America to recognize the importance of developing a drug policy that does not rely on force but is consistent with public health, limited government, individual rights, and personal responsibility. In fact, even the people who wrote the Harrison Act and the Marijuana Tax Act in 1937 agreed that a general prohibition on what people could put into their own bodies was plainly an unconstitutional infringement on personal liberties. For comparison, see the history of the constitutional amendment which was required to prohibit alcohol. There is no logical reasoning for a constitutional amendment that prohibits one chemical and not another. according to conservative U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Alex Kozinski, frequent police perjury and prosecutorial misconduct used to secure convictions is "an open secret long shared by prosecutors, defense attorneys, and judges." Judge Kozinski's remarks were reported by the Los Angeles Times in a recent series of articles about the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) scandal in its Rampart Division. A former Rampart police officer, Rafael A. Perez, sparked the scandal when he told authorities about a host of alleged crimes committed by his fellow officers in the gang-suppression unit.

Transcript landscape of Shakyra.
INRODUCTION My client is Shakyra. She is 19 years old and is a 2nd year student reading B. Commerce at The University. She looked like a very relaxed client, dressed up casual/smart, in black trousers, a pair of heels, and a top. At the beginning she seemed to feel a bit awkward, but then when she got going she was very talkative, and in fact didn't hesitate much when presenting herself with the problem. She interrupted me very quickly at the beginning, and I left her free to talk and open up. Her voice is very strong, and this immediately made it evident to me that she is a very determined person. Although I have known the client for approximately a year, we never had the opportunity to speak much about this problem. The session is mainly based on a client who was accepted to go and study in Perugia, Italy for the duration of one semester (3/4 months). Only five students are accepted to go, and because she was accepted, she now doubts whether she should go or not go. She knows there are both advantages and disadvantages; however she can't make up her mind. The problem she presented herself with is that she is confused. Although she has a number of people who are pushing her to go, she feels they can't decide for her and that it's her decision in the end. She was very nervous about the whole problem, and her body language (non verbal communication) showed all this,
How to Speak Like a New Englander
Jennifer Chung (2005654208) ENGL2104 - Rowe 6 May 2008 Research Paper How to Speak Like a New Englander Many people assume that the New England accent is basically the Boston accent as the city is considered to be the life of the region, but this is a false assumption. There are in fact several accents and varieties which can be found and the Boston accent is only one of them. Granted, the famous accent in Massachusetts is the most prominent and influential accent but it does not completely represent the neighbouring five states which includes Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Connecticut and Rhode Island. This essay will delve into the history of New England and how it affected the phonological and lexical development of New England speech. . History and Geography of New England The New England expansion all started with Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1620. The English Puritans fled Lincolnshire due to religions persecution and sailed to the United States on the Mayflower. They were later joined by the English Separatists who situated themselves in the Massachusetts Bay Colony about a decade later. The population then was only around a few hundred. By the second half of the nineteenth century, masses of immigrants flooded New England. The Irish fled to Boston because of the potato famine and they were soon joined by Italians, Russian, Polish, Lithuanians, Greeks, Armenians
What do you understand by Pidgins and Creoles? Discuss with examples why these languages are not corrupt or ungrammatical.
Holmes (2001) states that, ‘a pidgin is a language which has no native speakers’ and that ‘pidgins develop as a means of communication between people who do not have a common language.’ (Holmes, J. 2001:81) The main endeavour for speakers of a pidgin language is to enable effective communication, rather than to gain knowledge of additional languages. Pidgins are contact vernaculars and are used for specific purpose; each having its own ‘describable and distinctive linguistic structure.’ (Holmes, J. 2001:81) On Caribbean slave plantations throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, West African people were purposely separated from those who spoke the same language as themselves, so as to condense the possibility of their plotting escape or a revolt against authority. As a means of communicating with one another, they developed pidgins based on the language of their superiors as well as their own languages. (Holmes, J. 2001:81) In terms of structure, pidgins do not share any similitude to any of the languages in contact; however they do draw vocabulary items from these languages. Therefore, the term ‘pidgin’ accordingly indicates ‘a simple form of language showing signs of language mixing, which no one speaks as their first language.’ (Mesthrie et al, 2000:280) Creolist Peter Mühlhausler (1986:5) puts forward the following definition: ‘Pidgins
Autobiographical piece and reflective commentary. December 5th, 2009. I am standing in the freezing wind on the doorstep of a womens refuge in Plymouth.
The Refuge December 5th, 2009. I am standing in the freezing wind on the doorstep of a women’s refuge in Plymouth. Three weeks till Christmas, and there I am, no suitcases, no belongings, just the clothes I am standing in. I ring the bell and the door is opened by Estelle, the woman I had spoken to on the phone earlier. She takes me through to the office and sits me down. I feel as if I am not there, there is a sort of transcendental feeling to all this. It is as if I am not in my body, I am listening to someone else answer her questions. How many times had he been violent? What were my current injuries? Did I have a police crime number for the latest incident? These are the questions I think she asked me, though I cannot be sure; I think I was in shock. Not so much shock of the latest incident, but shock that I was there. A new recruit so to speak; the latest guest at the home for battered women (this is how my current boyfriend describes it when he speaks of it; not very PC I know, but then he isn’t the PC type). How had it come to this? I had such hopes when I moved to Plymouth, such dreams. We had the odd tiff even then, but it’s funny how the mind forgets the bad sometimes in order to paint a more romantic picture. I think I wanted him so badly, I didn’t want to see the signs that all was not well. We never do, do we? Maybe broken relationships don’t all end
