    The Loyalty and Loss written by Margaret M. Storey is a well-written and persuasive book studying how the Unionists in Alabama, the Deep South state, confronted the Confederate authorities during the civil war and their life in the Reconstruction. The first interesting thing I found was that the diversity of the Unionists. The author tried to find the similarities among the different Unionists and surprisingly she found out that the Unionists were highly distributed. Some of them could from the infertile hill county and the others could from the rich Tennessee Valley. No matter how different their backgrounds were, all of them undertook great risks on defying the confederate authorities and fight for their belief.…

    Its business includes equity and fixed-income sales and trading, private equity investment banking, and private banking investment management (Leynse 2011). Lehman expanded quickly and became the fourth-largest investment bank in the US in 2000. However, in 2008, Lehman Brothers filed for the largest bankruptcy in history with $639 billion in assets and $619 billion in debt. The main reason for the bankruptcy was the high-growth business strategy. It switched to a high-risk capital-intensive banking model from a low-risk brokerage model at the beginning of 2008 (Lubben 2011). Since Lehman’s investments had more uncertain forecasts and were less liquid than its traditional investments, this strategy increased business risk by continuously rolling over its debt and hundreds of billions of dollars were borrowed on a daily basis. To make it worse, as the economic crisis in 2008, Lehman slid into financial distress and had to reduce its leverage. The Lehman Brothers Code of Ethics is a five-page document outlining the behaviors expected of employees. Without any ethics education and non-clear company code of ethics, CEO and CFO of Lehman Brothers decided to lie about the company’s situation with painting a misleading picture of its financial condition by employing an accounting manipulation called “Repo105”. Leverage Ratio is the ratio of…

    The world financial crisis began in 2006 in the United States housing and related mortgage markets. Soon it spread to the entire U.S. economy and then to the rest of the world. In August 2007, the turmoil moved from the securitized U.S. mortgage markets to the interbank lending market, causing it to freeze up. Before long people became concerned about the extent and distribution of the mortgage related losses, market participants lost confidence in one another’s credit-worthiness, and the market that provides U.S. banks and other financial institutions with their liquidity became illiquid as a result. Institutions such as large commercial banks, investment houses, and insurance companies are the base of the U.S. financial system and because of the crisis they lost the ability to borrow short-term from one another. The general macro economy had weakened causing debt deflation, falling asset prices, falling real estate prices, and falling commodity prices; feeding one another into a downward spiral. Finally in September 2008, the breakdown of the international banking system based on the dominance of the major U.S. investment banks, commercial banks and insurance companies amplified the turmoil, sending severe shocks through the world economy. The economic crash international in its reach was characterized by falling employment, income, and output across the globe. The entire U.S. banking and financial system collapsed as a social financial system similar to banking crisis of 1931. From this point forward, what at first appeared as a U.S. “subprime mortgage market crisis” revealed itself to be a world economic crisis of major proportions.…

    Medical assistants perform administrative and clinical tasks to keep the offices of physicians, podiatrist, chiropractors, and other health practitioners running smoothly. The duties of medical assistants depend on the location and size of the practice and the practitioner's specialty. In small practices, medical assistants usually do many different kinds of tasks, handling both administrative and clinical duties and reporting directly to an office manager, physician, or other health practitioner. Those in large practices tend to specialize in a particular area, under the supervision of department administrators. “Administrative” medical assistants update and file patients' medical records, fill out insurance forms, and arrange for hospital admissions and laboratory services. They also perform tasks less specific to medical settings, such as answering telephones, greeting patients, handling correspondence, scheduling appointments, and handling billing and bookkeeping.…
