Leadership [Name of the writer] [Name of the institution] Abstract Th? first ?ssue which must be clarified ?n approach?ng th? subject of local ?hur?h government ?s th? question of authority. All agree that Chr?st ?s th? Head ?nd that He rules through H?s Word. But what about authority on th? level of ?ndividual ?hur?h function, teach?ng, ?nd dec?sion mak?ng? Does Chr?st delegate authority to ?nyone else? M?ny ?hur?h groups ?re sure that He does not, that each m?n h?s equal authority before God by virtue of h?s ?ndividual priesthood. Our Americ?n spirit of democracy ?n th? ?hur?h ?nd its "one m?n one vote" leaves us ?ncl?ned to agree, at le?st ?n sentiment. We feel that we ?re ?nswerable to God alone, ?nd so authority over ?nyone ?n th? very personal realm of th? spiritual ?nd religious ?s out of th? question. Our beliefs ?nd practices ?re matters between God ?nd us ?ndividually, we tend to th?nk; ?nd ?n th? affairs of th? local ?hur?h collectively, th? majority rules. But does Chr?st rule by majority vote? ?s H?s will determ?ned by popular consent? Or ?s it given once ?nd for all ?n Holy Scripture to be faithfully m?n?stered to H?s people by spiritual l?aders with?n th? ?hur?h? Th?se questions state th? ?ssue clearly. Th? New Testament ?s clear ?n its teach?ng both by precept ?nd example that th?re ?re certa?n men ?n th? ?hur?h who ?re ?nvested with th? responsibility of

Sistemul de Plati Interbancare. n acest sens am ales s prezint sistemul de pli interbancare din Romnia n interconexiunea sa cu sistemele de pli folosite n Uniunea European, aa cum acesta funcioneaz

INTRODUCERE Schimbarile profunde care au aparut în structura si activitatea sistemelor de plati si decontari au reflectat îndeaproape transformarea industriei financiare la nivel global. Schimbarile tehnologice, dereglementarea si tendinta catre o sporita volatilitate a preturilor activelor au contribuit la expansiunea activitatii financiare si totodata a volumului si valorii fluxurilor de plati la nivel national si international. Toate aceste schimbari sunt evidente mai ales în plan individual-al persoanelor fizice-, cel al economiei reale si al pietelor financiare. În acest context, poate fi amintita larga paleta de instrumente destinate a facilita executarea platilor de catre persoanele fizice: distribuitoarele automate de numerar, ghiseele bancare automate, utilizarea cardurilor bancare d debit si de credit, o mai buna remunerare a depozitelor bancare, precum si introducerea unor forme din ce în ce mai explicite de comisionare a serviciilor sau chiar oferta de servicii gratuite în domeniul transferurilor de bani. Daca toate acestea sunt usor de remarcat în marea majoritate a tarilor dezvoltate si sunt direct legate de transferurile de fonduri cu valoare relative scazuta, schimbarile cele mai spectaculoase care au avut loc pot fi gasite în zona transferurilor de fonduri banesti cu valoare mare si foarte mare, adesea associate fie cu activitatea marilor agenti

Perceptions of wrongful convictions amongst Americans working in the criminal justice system.

ABSTRACT During the past several years the issue of wrongful conviction has received increasing attention from state legislators, the legal system, and researchers. Much of this attention has focused on death penalty convictions which have been set aside. As of February, 2003, postconviction DNA testing in the United States had led to the exoneration of 123 wrongfully-convicted individuals. To date, it is unknown how frequently wrongful conviction occurs in the United States. Also unknown is how frequently systemic errors occur which previous research has identified as being associated with the phenomenon wrongful conviction. The present research sought to address this deficiency of knowledge by asking professionals who work in the criminal justice system their perceptions regarding these issues. A 53-item survey questionnaire was administered to four groups of Ohio criminal justice professionals: law enforcement (sheriffs and chiefs of police), prosecutors (chief and assistant), defense attorneys (private and public defenders), and judges (common pleas, appellate, and Supreme Court). The 798 respondents indicate they believe wrongful conviction occurs in 1 to 3 percent of all felony convictions. With more than 2,000,000 individuals incarcerated in the nation’s prisons and jails, this error rate would signify that between 20,000 and 60,000 individuals are

This evaluation study will thoroughly study factors that influence teen pregnancy and parenting on the educational advancement of a girl child in Buea-Cameroon.

Problem statement         The numerous technological advancements in the field of healthcare and social sciences are providing new and improved procedures to treat pregnant adolescents and teenage mothers; but still many of these patients are left wanting and disappointed from the educational and healthcare system. Both depression and low self-esteem have been linked to lower levels of educational advancements amongst these adolescents. This evaluation study will thoroughly study factors that influence teen pregnancy and parenting on the educational advancement of a girl child in Buea-Cameroon. Background of the study         In the past 3 decades, there has been an ever increasing interest in the link between lower educational advancements and teenage mothers and adolescents who get pregnant. Numerous studies have confirmed that the higher the levels of teenage pregnancy is directly linked to higher levels of educational abandonment (Aneshensel and Huba, 1983; Braucht et al., 1973; Kaminer, 1991; Kaplan et al., 1980; Kaplan et al., 1984; Kennedy et al., 1987; Paton et al., 1977; Reinherz et al., 1991; Robins and Przybeck, 1985; Shiffman and Wills, 1985; Simons et al., 1991). This level of consistency has led many researchers to believe that there is a definite and interdependent relation
