Book excerpt: High school is always the most happening time in an individual’s life. Sometimes, we find friends and relationships that stay with us forever, and sometimes we somehow begin finding solace in the loneliness that comes with the shift from middle school to high school as some friends move away. Where the former consisted of people like Oliver, Ashley, Seth and Emily, the latter consisted of people like Evan. Evan, after Justin and Kev left had been distraught and alone again, but that didn’t change anyone else’s experience around him. High schoolers often live a life of their own, fighting their own demons, and battling their own struggles. Most times, their parents too, are oblivious to the changes of the skies upon their children. The skies certainly changed over the Castle Rock High School in the year 2009 for everyone where there were some old promotions from middle school, while there were some new entrants, with new stories, and new passions. Oliver, coming from the children’s home was just settling into his adoptive parent’s home and was admitted into the Castle Rock High School. On the very first day he made friends with Seth, who was a Canadian-turned-Denver boy. Seth only loved two things before high school. Sports, and Music. That changed when he began falling for a transitioning woman, Ashley. Ashley was a girl, who previously identified as a boy in middle school, and with that change, came bullying and low self-esteem. This led for her to not just have body-image issues but also dwell into harming herself with razor-cuts. Amidst this chaos and bullying came her knight in shining armor in Seth, who accepted her for who she was. Through all of this, Oliver stuck by the two of them, as they formed a band together and began jamming sessions and also involved Oliver’s love interest, Emily. Trouble hit paradise when the Medicine Man came into the picture.

Download or read book Bribery and Corruption written by Michael J. Comer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 942 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Politicians and regulators do not run businesses. Bribery and Corruption is for managers who do. It will help you transform uncertainties and problems created via legislation and regulations (such as The UK Bribery Act, The Proceeds of Crime Act, The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, Sarbanes-Oxley) into opportunities to: ¢ Maintain entrepreneurial, profitable, and enjoyable working environments while easily surpassing compliance standards ¢ Control incoming, internal, outgoing, competitive corruption and fraud ¢ Take decisions in grey areas, confidently Bribery and Corruption frames control and compliance in an entirely different way: not as a brake on your company’s forward motion but as essential protective equipment enabling you to go faster and further in safety. Written by the world’s leading practitioners in the fields of fraud prevention, detection and investigation with massive practical experience in both commercial and governmental sectors, Bribery and Corruption exposes the misconceptions, myths and corruption of the word bribery and suggests effective solutions that go well beyond simple compliance. It commits to assertive managerial rather than timorous legal solutions to anti-bribery and other laws. It explains how processes can be tested - using automated fraud detection software - to expose current cases of fraud and corruption or to provide assurance that controls are functioning optimally. It tackles the usually ignored problems of stratospheric, political, academic and media corruption, which often motivate commercial bribery. It exposes the dangers of employee to employee corruption; skulduggery by blue collar workers and lots more. Over the last 25 years, Mike Comer, occasionally writing with Tim Stephens, has been responsible for some of the most readable and influential books on fraud. Bribery and Corruption is another tour de force, complete, authoritative and yet a great pleasure to read.
