One of the most important reasons why casinos are a good thing is the
fact that a number of jobs are created. In the past three years casinos have
created nearly 43,0001 jobs directly and indirectly. With today's job market,

How Well Did The English Exchequer Function In The Twelfth Century?
<view this essay>.... to his
`scholar'. Richard also presents himself as a well educated and intelligent man
through his grasp of Latin and his quotations from Biblical and classical texts
as well as alluding to philosophy through his talk of logic.
The interesting proposition therefore is who was interested in such a
complicated text and why was it produced. The system of the Exchequer was a
complex one that would have been understood by few at the time. By attempting
to describe this system in a way that presents it as equitable, it could have
convinced the Barons and others paying taxes of the validity and fairness of a
system of which they would have had little compre .....

Heavy Weather At American Airlines
<view this essay>.... Boeing. American says that having to pay higher pilot salaries and buy new
aircraft makes it an uneconomical investment, in other words they can not do
both and still stay in business. A strike could even threaten a purposed
alliance with British Airways. American in not alone though. With industry
profits on the constant rise, employees of other airlines are pushing for higher
pay also, but undeniably American is in the worst position right now.
It looks to me like the pilots were not very happy with the decision to

Collective Farms Of The Soviet Union
<view this essay>.... industrialization. Basically, this
meant the conversion of Russia from a state of tradesmen and family farms,
in which communism seemed implausible, to one of huge factories and large,
efficient farms. In theory, industrialization would increase the number and

of “sweatshop” labor. A sweatshop is a manufacturing facility that operates .....
