Introduction Due diligence has its origins in the Roman law concept of Diligentia. Like its original meaning of the term in Anglo-American legal system has evolved into a standard of care which a buyer must take "due care" in connection with such transfers‚ acquisitions and lending.

The study’s findings are a basis for decision

Environmental Determinism Naturally‚ you don’t expect that the early people who lived in the far north of the globe to be black skin color or the people who lived near the equator to be white skin color. As well as sea people to be skilled hunters and people living in the woodlands to be skilled fishers. Our social and cultural development is affected by the weather that surrounds us and also the geographical position that we live in‚ this is this belief is called environmental determinism. Although

Acceleration Due to Gravity Have you ever wondered why items always speed up when they are falling? Well it all has to do with acceleration due to gravity. Acceleration is the rate at which an object changes its velocity. Acceleration can be calculated by finding the change in velocity and dividing it over the time. The equation is: a= ∆v∆t (“Acceleration”) Acceleration is also a vector because it has a direction. The units of acceleration are typically m/s2. Gravity is the force that attracts

American judicial system ’s need for an effective strategy to combat crime has been a continuously debated issue. While employing the adversarial models of crime control and due process‚ America struggles to find balance on a pendulum between individual rights and social order. In this window of opportunity‚ crime control and due process are examined and reflected into the eyes of society. The primary goals of the American Criminal Justice system are simply to enforce the law and maintain social

Determination of the Acceleration Due to Gravity By A Good Student Abstract The acceleration due to gravity‚ g‚ was determined by dropping a metal bearing and measuring the free-fall time with a pendulum of known period. The measured value is 9.706 m/s2 with a standard deviation of 0.0317‚ which does not fall within the range of known terrestrial values. Centrifugal forces and altitude variations cannot account for the discrepancy. The calculation is very sensitive to the measured drop

Environmental Issues Environmental issues are indeed everyone’s concern. There have been a lot of efforts being put by the parties who are interested and concerned to limit the damage done to the environment around the world as well as to raise public awareness around the world. There are three major factors which contribute to the pollution in my city. These factors include the industrialization which is currently taking place‚ the development of the new townships in and around the city as well

Topic 11- Environmental approaches Assess the usefulness of environmental approaches in explaining the causes and extent of deviance in society. 21 marks Crimes of locality affect all urban areas throughout the world. Sociologists have tried to explain how and why these crimes occur and others have put forward theories to try and stop crimes from happening. Shaw and McKay of Chicago University used a system in which the city was seen as divided into five concentric circles radiating from the
