Early lifeeditHe is first recorded in 1812 as one of the chieftains living at the Pottawatomie settlement known as Indiantown (or Tiskilwa). [1] During the 1820s and 30s, he was second only to the great chieftain Autuckee and well-known among early settlers, particularly for his ability to speak in english. [2] In February 1832, he was present at a war council held between the Pottawatomie, Winnebago, Sauk and Fox at Indiantown. One of several chieftains representing the Pottawatomie, others in the delegation included Shaubena, Waba, Shick Shack, Waseaw, Sheatee, Kalto, Waubonsie and Autuckee. They were again visited by Little Bear when the Sauk and Fox crossed the Mississippi River two months later, although he and Autuckee declined a proposed alliance with Black Hawk. [3] Murder of Amentedit
Meommuse and his band, consisting of ten or twelve lodges, were located west of settler John L. Ament's farm. Although the area was claimed by Ament, Meommuse's tribe had collected sugar at the site for 42 years. Meommuse and the others stayed only during the winter and spring season, however the camp was used as a headquarters and meeting place. Neither Meommuse or Ament appreciated the presence of each other and conditions steadily grew worse as time when on. The situation came to a head after Ament shot and killed one of the Pottawatomie's hunting dogs. On June 17 or 18, a number of his Pottawatomie warriors approached Ament's home where the landowner and other local settlers were staying. Mike Girty, the war chief, and others had planned to attack the settlers during the night. Girty and the others had intended to set the cabin on fire while they slept, however heavy rain forced them to wait until morning where they killed settler Elijah Phillips before retreating. Meommuse's role in the raid is not fully known, however his son was among those in the raiding party. [4] This same group was accused of the Indian Creek massacre, which occurred the previous month.

Agent S (a.k.a. Selena)editWell, to start off with, Agent S is a nerdy girl. Well, not really, but maybe a little. (Because she IS in high school math even though we are in middle school.) Her favourite colour is blue and she plays softball, volleyball, and field hockey. She is the only other person I know here that plays field hockey. Exept, we cant play it now because they dont have a hockey team in this town. :P I dont know what her faavorite subject is because I havent asked her yet, but maybe later when we edit this page we will find out. We made a web page for some random science project earlier this year so if you want to learn all about Jean-Michel Cousteau you should visit it. It has pictures!

Human Resource Accounting (HRA) procedures are the first step towards developing sophisticated measurement and valuation procedures to enable a company to report accurately the worth of the organization’s human assets. The question here is what is the most important set of assets in your organization? The answer to this question may vary across organization depending on how labor intensive operations are with regards to different business units. The economic value of Human Resources is derived from their service rendering ability which can be expensive to acquire, retain and develop. Definition: American Accounting Association’s Committee defines Human Resource Accounting as the process of identifying and measuring data about human resources and communicating this information to interested parties. History According to Frey & Buhofer (1986), the genesis of human resource valuation can be traced back to the medieval European wars in 1642. During this period a prisoner was conceived of as the general property of the capturing soldier. A quick decision had to be reached on the battlefield whether to kill or spare the prisoner’s life depending on the costs of keeping the prisoner as compared with expected future income. The modern concept of human resource accounting was originally developed by Rensis Liker (1966) at the University of Michigan, Institute of Social Research. Although HRA is a fairly new concept its development has passed through several stages: Stage 1(1960 – 1966): The first stage of development could be marked by interest in HRA and derivation of basic HRA concepts. Stage 2 (1966 – 1971): This period involved basic academic research to develop and assess the validity of models for the measurement of human resource cost and value. It also included a few experimental applications of HRA in actual organizations. Stage 3 (1971 – 1976): This was a period of rapid growth of interest in human resource accounting. The academic interest spread across the western countries and also in Australia and Japan. Attempts were made to apply HRA in business organizations. During this stage the American Accounting Association established committees on human resource accounting which published reports on the development of HRA. In the year 1974, a book presenting the state of the art of HRA was published by the American Accounting Association’s Committee on Human Resource Accounting. Stage 4 (1976 – 1980): A period when declining interest in HRA was seen both in academia and in the corporate world. Stage 5(1980 – present): This period involves the beginning of a resurgence of interest in the theory and practice of Human resource accounting. During this period one of the significant events that served as a catalyst to the renewal of the interest in HRA was a decision by the U.S. office of Naval Research to sponsor a research project dealing with the feasibility of the application of HRA to naval human management issues.
Historical cost approach: This was the first attempt towards employee valuation made by R. G. Barry Corporation of Columbus, Ohio in the year 1967. This method measures the organization’s investment in employees using the five parameters: recruiting, acquisition; formal training and familiarization; informal training, Informal familiarization; experience; and development. The costs were amortized over the expected working lives of individuals and unamortized costs (for example, when an individual left the firm) were written off. Limitations: • The valuation method is based on false assumption that the dollar is stable. • Since the assets cannot be sold there is no independent check of valuation. • This method measures only the costs to the organization but ignores completely any measure of the value of the employee to the organization (Cascio 3). Replacement Cost Approach This approach measures the cost of replacing an employee. According to Flamholtz (1985) replacement cost include recruitment, selection, compensation, and training cost (including the income foregone during the training period). The data derived from this method could be useful in deciding whether to dismiss or replace the staff. Limitations: • Substitution of replacement cost method for historical cost method does little more than update the valuation, at the expense of importing considerably more subjectivity into the measure. • This method may also lead to an upwardly biased estimate because an inefficient firm may incur greater cost to replace an employee (Cascio 3-4).
Lev and Schwartz (1971) proposed an economic valuation of employees based on the present value of future earnings, adjusted for the probability of employees’ death. This method helps in determining what an employee’s future contribution is worth today. Limitations: • The measure is an objective one because it uses widely based statistics such as census income return and mortality tables. • The measure assigns more weight to averages than to the value of any specific group or individual (Cascio 4-5). Value to the organization Hekimian and Jones (1967) proposed that where an organization had several divisions seeking the same employee, the employee should be allocated to the highest bidder and the bid price incorporated into that division’s investment base. For example a value of a professional athlete’s service is often determined by how much money a particular team, acting in an open competitive market is willing to pay him or her. Limitations: • The soundness of the valuation depends wholly on the information, judgment, and impartiality of the bidder (Cascio 5). Expense Model According to Mirvis and Mac, (1976) this model focuses on attaching dollar estimates to the behavioral outcomes produced by working in an organization. Criteria such as absenteeism, turnover, and job performance are measured using traditional organizational tools, and then costs are estimated for each criterion. For example, in costing labor turnover, dollar figures are attached to separation costs, replacement costs, and training costs. Conclusion HRA has a potential to contribute to an organization’s culture and make management believe that people are valuable resources and manifest this belief in their decisions and policies. We are at the forefront of what is still an unpopular accounting and measurement technique that will have a profound effect on the way people are managed and valued in an organization.

Striking and darkly emotive, Cedric Van Eenoo's abstract acrylic paintings are impressive expressionistic works painted in a deep, rich palette of midnight blues, somber reds, lush purples, and illuminated by cool, lucid whites. The colors are profound and brooding as a stormy firmament or the fertile textures of earth. Expansive color fields are bounded by coarse but definitive lines - beautiful imperfections, threads of light, scars and fissures of accumulated time - scratched into the surface of layered medium. Dark landscapes, thickly painted with vigorous, dynamic brushstrokes, Cedric Van Eenoo's works are at once sensuous and somber in hue, arcane and wonderfully raw in style. Cedric Van Eenoo is an artist with the gift of an improvisational mind and the talent for the delicate balancing of structure and aesthetic latitude. SourceseditDokumenta Kassel 2008

A covenant not to sue is a legal term referring to a legally binding contract between two or more parties that prevents the covenant issuer from sueing the other parties. In patent law, this term has recently been extended by a relatively new concept in Intellectual Property licensing, first developed by Sun Microsystems as a "license-less license". Other companies followed suit, such as Microsoft and IBM. The basic idea behind a covenant not to sue is that a licensor irrevocably covenants that it will not sue an implementor of the intellectual property, so long as various conditions are met. This novel concept allows an intellectual property owner to retain control over it's works without actually specifying a list of claims or requiring an implementor to actually aquire a license.

Human Resource AccountingeditHuman Resource Accounting (HRA) procedures are the first step towards developing sophisticated measurement and valuation procedures to enable a company to report accurately the worth of the organization’s human assets. The question here is what is the most important set of assets in your organization? The answer to this question may vary across organization depending on how labor intensive operations are with regards to different business units. The economic value of Human Resources is derived from their service rendering ability which can be expensive to acquire, retain and develop. Definition:editAmerican Accounting Association’s Committee defines Human Resource Accounting as the process of identifying and measuring data about human resources and communicating this information to interested parties. HistoryeditAccording to Frey & Buhofer (1986), the genesis of human resource valuation can be traced back to the medieval European wars in 1642. During this period a prisoner was conceived of as the general property of the capturing soldier. A quick decision had to be reached on the battlefield whether to kill or spare the prisoner’s life depending on the costs of keeping the prisoner as compared with expected future income. The modern concept of human resource accounting was originally developed by Rensis Liker (1966) at the University of Michigan, Institute of Social Research. Although HRA is a fairly new concept its development has passed through several stages: Stage 1(1960 – 1966): The first stage of development could be marked by interest in HRA and derivation of basic HRA concepts. Stage 2 (1966 – 1971): This period involved basic academic research to develop and assess the validity of models for the measurement of human resource cost and value. It also included a few experimental applications of HRA in actual organizations. Stage 3 (1971 – 1976): This was a period of rapid growth of interest in human resource accounting. The academic interest spread across the western countries and also in Australia and Japan. Attempts were made to apply HRA in business organizations. During this stage the American Accounting Association established committees on human resource accounting which published reports on the development of HRA. In the year 1974, a book presenting the state of the art of HRA was published by the American Accounting Association’s Committee on Human Resource Accounting. Stage 4 (1976 – 1980): A period when declining interest in HRA was seen both in academia and in the corporate world. Stage 5(1980 – present): This period involves the beginning of a resurgence of interest in the theory and practice of Human resource accounting. During this period one of the significant events that served as a catalyst to the renewal of the interest in HRA was a decision by the U.S. office of Naval Research to sponsor a research project dealing with the feasibility of the application of HRA to naval human management issues.
Human Resource Valuation MethodologieseditHistorical cost approach:editThis was the first attempt towards employee valuation made by R. G. Barry Corporation of Columbus, Ohio in the year 1967. This method measures the organization’s investment in employees using the five parameters: recruiting, acquisition; formal training and familiarization; informal training, Informal familiarization; experience; and development. The costs were amortized over the expected working lives of individuals and unamortized costs (for example, when an individual left the firm) were written off. Limitations:edit• The valuation method is based on false assumption that the dollar is stable. • Since the assets cannot be sold there is no independent check of valuation. • This method measures only the costs to the organization but ignores completely any measure of the value of the employee to the organization (Cascio 3). Replacement Cost ApproacheditThis approach measures the cost of replacing an employee. According to Flamholtz (1985) replacement cost include recruitment, selection, compensation, and training cost (including the income foregone during the training period). The data derived from this method could be useful in deciding whether to dismiss or replace the staff. Limitations:edit• Substitution of replacement cost method for historical cost method does little more than update the valuation, at the expense of importing considerably more subjectivity into the measure. • This method may also lead to an upwardly biased estimate because an inefficient firm may incur greater cost to replace an employee (Cascio 3-4). Present Value of Future EarningseditLev and Schwartz (1971) proposed an economic valuation of employees based on the present value of future earnings, adjusted for the probability of employees’ death. This method helps in determining what an employee’s future contribution is worth today. Limitations:edit• The measure is an objective one because it uses widely based statistics such as census income return and mortality tables. • The measure assigns more weight to averages than to the value of any specific group or individual (Cascio 4-5). Value to the organizationeditHekimian and Jones (1967) proposed that where an organization had several divisions seeking the same employee, the employee should be allocated to the highest bidder and the bid price incorporated into that division’s investment base. For example a value of a professional athlete’s service is often determined by how much money a particular team, acting in an open competitive market is willing to pay him or her. Limitations:edit• The soundness of the valuation depends wholly on the information, judgment, and impartiality of the bidder (Cascio 5). Expense ModeleditAccording to Mirvis and Mac, (1976) this model focuses on attaching dollar estimates to the behavioral outcomes produced by working in an organization. Criteria such as absenteeism, turnover, and job performance are measured using traditional organizational tools, and then costs are estimated for each criterion. For example, in costing labor turnover, dollar figures are attached to separation costs, replacement costs, and training costs. ConclusioneditHRA has a potential to contribute to an organization’s culture and make management believe that people are valuable resources and manifest this belief in their decisions and policies. We are at the forefront of what is still an unpopular accounting and measurement technique that will have a profound effect on the way people are managed and valued in an organization.

Removing libel paragraph As a teen, Ralph dabbled in the world of acting and theatre, and managed to get a brief walk-on role in the hit US TV series Baywatch (specifically, during the episode ‘Sharks, Lies and Videotape’). As a consequence of this, Jay decided to start taking his acting more seriously, and auditioned for his favourite show – Buffy the Vampire Slayer. After nerves caused his acting skills to fail him, Ralph was laughed at by the casting director and this caused him to lose all confidence in his talent. He instead took what he now describes as ‘the cowards way out’ – and went into the porn industry. Jay is also renowned for his musical talent (and frequently works alongside (and in perfect harmony (excuse the pun) with) the Music staff at Stanchester School. However, although he is commonly mistaken for musician ‘J. Ralph’, he is evidently not – the ‘J’ in ‘J. Ralph’ stands for ‘Joshua’, and should not be mistaken for ‘Jay’. Removing libel comments From 2004, Jay was taking a break from his jet set lifestyle, and was working as a Media Arts Technician in a small Somerset school in the UK, called Stanchester[10]. However, all of this was changed in 2007 as he took on some filming work on the blockbuster film ‘28 Weeks Later’ – and he has been slowly adjusting to the work since, and has had other notable jobs such as some post-production work on the (at time of writing) unreleased film ‘Inkheart’[11]. Removing paragraph that is almost entirely libel
