Abstract
Noted as the most notable munity in the history of navigation, Mutiny on the Bounty descripts the voyages of Captain Bligh and subsequent mutiny of this crew. In 1787, William Bligh was appointed the captain of the Bounty. The mission of the trip was to travel to Tahiti to obtain breadfruit trees for transplanting in the West Indies for the purpose of producing food for the slaves owned by the English nobility. There where multiple reasons for the mutiny, however the main cause was the leadership style of Captain Bligh. He was viewed as a tyrant on the ship, acting more of a dictator than a leader. The second-in-command, Fletcher Christian had a participative or facilitator type leadership style that caused conflict. The different styles often caused strife among the two men, ultimately leading to the munity. (The Bounty 1984) This paper discusses the comparison and contract of Captain Bligh and Fletcher Christian leadership styles.

The Leaders
The two main characters of the voyage are Captain Bligh and his second –in-command, Fletcher Christian. The trip to the Tahiti was one of difficulty in regards to overcrowding, lack of food or water; also what the crew considers the tranny of Captain Bligh. The stay on the island was beneficial to the crew as they enjoyed the tropics and became friendly with the natives, especially with the women. Upon the announcement of the ship’s departure for the travel to the West Indies the crew realized the conditions would be the same or worse on the trip. They did not want to leave the comforts of the Tahiti. (The Bounty, 1984)
The crew’s fears became true with the overcrowding and Captain Bligh accusations and punishment due to the alleged stealing of food. The continued deterioration of conditions…...

Dog the Bounty Hunter is a reality television show on A&E that follows Duane “Dog” Chapman and his family on bounty hunts. When people miss court or try to bond jump; the judge puts out a bond revocation and then they must capture the criminal or they lose their money they put up to get the person out of jail. He encourages them to try to turn their lives around.
This is part of society that most shows don’t show. He started his career 27 years ago after he spent 18 months in a Texas prison. Now he is living on the right side of the law because he doesn’t ever want to go back to prison. Dog has helped catch the most dangerous people, and even a high-profile rapist. “He credits most of his success from getting the most out of his informants.” He says “70% of all his captures happen because some ol’ American has turned them in by giving him information.

...Some of the general characteristics of the “classic” film score are using music extensively and full range of orchestral colors, borrowing of familiar melodies, supporting mood and action, and melody-dominated post romantic style.
“Mutiny on the Bounty” (1935), was the first film that was shot on location instead of in a studio water tank. The movie is made up of three different locations, and each of plot features distinct film scores. For example, solo violin was used to depict sternness and dutifulness of Bligh’s ship. On the other hand, drumming, dancing, and singing were used to depict love and warmth in Tahiti. Importantly, the movie established a standard feature of exotic adventure stories by combining musical scores and natural scenery. Another famous film in 1935 is “The Informer.” In this movie, distinctive theme was used for each character so that a blind person could recognize which character was on the scene. Max Steiner, the composer of this film, used music to depict action, and linked the sound and mood. One of the most interesting films to me in 1935 is “The Bride of Frankenstein.” It is a horror movie, but Franz Waxman, the composer of the film, composed not only a great score that matched with the hyperbole of the film, but also the music accommodates a great sense of parody.
The film score used in “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” (1937) is absolutely delightful. The music was played in the movie continuously, and a lot of beautiful songs......

...B. The Indian Mutyni
The Indian Mutyni was a rebellion among native Indian soldiers who were against the British rule in India. The short story has therefore a historical meaning. The title of the whole story is symbolic cause of the army that Mr. Vello creates. Within the army there is a revolt and which is between Mr. Vellon and the boys.
The text”The Indian Mutyni”, is a short story written by Will Self. The short story is about how a former student at Creighton Comprehensive School, Fein a talk show host, who action as a child led to his supply teacher committing suicide. It’s about how he feels great guilt. Guilt about how he treated Mr. Vello haunts him.
The impression we as readers get of Fein, is that he was that kind of boy who was feared by all teachers. He knew that and he took advantage of it. In the first lesson with the class they were told to shut up by Mr. Vello, but class 4b didn’t follow that order. In class 4b, there were 3 minorities: There were “The Jews”, “The Gentiles” and “The Asians”. The ones who controlled the class, who had the power was the Gentiles and the Jews, who also called themselves “The Yids” and “The Yocks”, they fought about the power in the class. The Asians were different from the others. They were all first-generation immigrants. All the students except the Asians, was seen as the doomed dregs of the society. “Mr Vello saw the rest of us, immediately, for what we were: time-servers; time-wankers; boys full of nasty decadences.......

Mutiny on the Bounty
- The mutiny on the Bounty was a mutiny that occurred aboard the British Royal Navy ship HMS Bounty on 28 April 1789, and has been commemorated by several books, films, and popular songs, many of which take considerable liberties with the facts. The mutiny was led by Fletcher Christian against the commanding officer, William Bligh. According to most accounts, the sailors were attracted to the idyllic life on the Pacific island of Tahiti and repelled by the harsh treatment from their captain.
- Mutiny on the Bounty is the title of the 1932 novel by Charles Nordhoff and James Norman Hall, based on the mutiny against Lieutenant William Bligh, commanding officer of the Bounty in 1789. It has been made into several films and a musical. It was the first of what became "The Bounty Trilogy", which continues with Men Against the Sea, and concludes with Pitcairn's Island.

...and second laws that preserve human life and the command given to the robot by humans keeps the robots from ever reaching the state of fulfilling the belief that robots would take over. This shows that although the Frankenstein Complex does exist and is a legitimate fear, the threat of a robot rebellion is truly non-existent.
In Čapek’s R.U.R, he addresses how when faced with the threat that we all fear with the creation of manmade androids, we can easily fall into follow the nature of the Frankenstein Complex. He shows how man can stand on top of his creation and believe that he’ll always stand above all until the threat hits him in the face, that’s when the complex truly begins to shine through. When confronted by the idea of a robot mutiny against humankind, Domin, the director of the Rossum’s Universal Robots company, states, “A revolt among the Robots! You’d have better luck instigating a revolt among nuts and bolts than among our Robots!” (Čapek 30). This is Domin and his men’s initial view of the robots, they are ultimately no threat to the world. They are simply mindless servants just as the word “robot” hints at as the original Czech word “robota” means forced labor. It isn’t until the world was spinning into dystopia as the robots around the world actually revolt and decide to kill off all humans on the Earth do the characters display symptoms of the Frankenstein complex. This shift from the cheerful and comedic flirty banter between Helena, Domin, and his men......

...According to Fijian legend, the great chief Lutunasobasoba led his people across the seas to the new land of Fiji. Most authorities agree that people came into the Pacific from Southeast Asia via the Malay Peninsula. Here the Melanesians and the Polynesians mixed to create a highly developed society long before the arrival of the Europeans.
The European discoveries of the Fiji group were accidental. The first of these discoveries was made in 1643 by the Dutch explorer, Abel Tasman and English navigators, including Captain James Cook who sailed through in 1774, and made further explorations in the 18th century. Major credit for the discovery and recording of the islands went to Captain William Bligh who sailed through Fiji after the mutiny on the Bounty in 1789.
The first Europeans to land and live among the Fijians were shipwrecked sailors and runaway convicts from the Australian penal settlements. Sandalwood traders and missionaries came by the mid-19th century. European traders and missionaries arrived in the first half of the 19th century, and the resulting disruption led to increasingly serious wars among the native Fijian confederacies. One Ratu (chief), Cakobau, gained limited control over the western islands by the 1850s. Cannibalism practiced in Fiji at that time quickly disappeared as missionaries gained influence. When Ratu Seru Cakobau accepted Christianity in 1854, the rest of the country soon followed and tribal warfare came to an end. Although tribal......

...For this assignment I chose to do bounty hunters. There are a lot of people that are in this profession that like to be called fugitive recovery agents rather than bounty hunters. This is because when people hear bounty hunter, it tends to automatically make most think about negative things, or the first thing that comes to mind is something from the old days when people use to post dead or alive posters with an award on it. Some of the more accepted titles other than bounty hunter are bail bond recovery agent as mentioned before, bail officer, fugitive recovery officer, bail agent, bail enforcement agent, and fugitive recovery agent. Private investigators and bounty hunters have some of the same job duties in common which include, conducting interviews, performing surveillance, getting in contact with the subject, skip tracing which is when they track somebody to a current resident or location, and if a subject is located, some form of paperwork might be served. The private investigator could serve the individual legal papers and the bounty hunter could serve a warrant. The bounty hunter works with the bail bondsman in order to re-arrest the individual and place them in jail. This is usually because the bail bondsman’s client has not followed his or her bail contract. Usually the offense is when the individual fails to appear in court after promising to go.
The first bounty hunter is Pat Garrett, and he is the one responsible for hunting down Billy the Kid. His......

...nearly account for that small enhancement of price which seems to have taken place in them.) These, however, though the highest, are by no means the only high prices which seem to have been occasioned by the civil wars. The second event was the bounty upon the exportation of corn, granted in 1688. The bounty, it has been thought by many people, by encouraging tillage, may, in a long course of years, have occasioned a greater abundance, and, consequently, a greater cheapness of corn in the home market, than what would otherwise have taken place there. How far the bounty could produce this effect at any time I shall examine hereafter: I shall only observe at present, that between 1688 and 1700, it had not time to produce any such effect. During this short period, its only effect must have been, by encouraging the exportation of the surplus produce of every year, and thereby hindering the abundance of one year from compensating the scarcity of another, to raise the price in the home market. The scarcity which prevailed in England, from 1693 to 1699, both inclusive, though no doubt principally owing to the badness of the seasons, and, therefore, extending through a considerable part of Europe, must have been somewhat enhanced by the bounty. In 1699, accordingly, the further exportation of corn was prohibited for nine months. There was a third event which occurred in the course of the same period, and which, though it could not occasion any scarcity of corn, nor, perhaps, any......

...Bounty hunting began in England in the 1200s when bail was not money but an actual person. At that time in English history, a custodian was designated by the court to keep track of the accused and to present him at trial. If the custodian failed to present the accused, the custodian would be forced to stand trial in place of the accused. In 1679, a structured bail system was formed, and the British Parliament created and passed the Habeas Corpus Act which allowed defendants to be released on monetary bail. The United States Constitution later adopted the Habeas Corpus Act of the Eighth Amendment (ratified December 15, 1791), which prohibited the setting of excessive bail, and the Judiciary Act of 1789, which served to identify bailable offenses, but it is also the foundation of what we now know as the U.S. judicial court system. The U.S. Supreme Court case, Taylor v. Taintor, in 1873, gave bounty hunters the authority to act as agents of bail bondsmen. This court ruling also allowed bounty hunters a number of overarching rights, such as the right to pursue fugitives in other states and, if necessary, break into a fugitive’s house, without a warrant, for the purpose of returning them on revoked bonds. It wasn’t until the passage of the Bail Reform Act of 1966 that laws relating to bail really began to take their current shape. The Bail Reform Act of 1966 included verbiage that permitted prisoners to be released on as little bail as possible to ensure a return for trail. The......

...The Indian Mutiny should be renamed the ‘First Indian War of Independence’, How far do you agree?
Before one can answer the question, was the Indian Mutiny a war of independence it would be best to define what a war of independence actually is. The oxford dictionary defines independence as “Free from outside control; not subject to another’s authority”. From this we can extrapolate that a war for independence would be a war to remove the authority currently governing India, the British, and to garner the ability to govern themselves, essentially freedom from those ruling them. This would imply that the revolt would be a unified nationalistic cause under a single leader or a group of leaders co-operating. However India’s mutiny lacks a clear cut leader or coherence between those who were proclaimed to be leading the rebellion. Lastly the mutiny was not on a national scale, only parts of the country revolted subsequently throwing the identification of the Indian mutiny as a war of independence into disarray.
One interpretation of the 1857 Indian Mutiny claims that the incident was a direct reaction to company insensitivities and the forceful imposition of British culture in preceding years, and was, clearly, by virtue of this, ‘a war of independence’. The first 50 years of the 19th century saw company rulers take an active foothold in attempting to liberalize Indian society with traditional, British Judeo-Christian values, to manufacture, in the words of Thomas Macauley, ‘a......

...classical film score include an extensive use of music, exploitation of the full range of orchestral colors, reliance upon the melody-dominated postromantic style, establishment of the principal themes and moods during the opening title and credits, musical support for dramatic moods, settings, characters, and action, frequent borrowing of familiar melodies, and unity through leitmotifs and thematic transformation. Films that provide prefect examples of Classic Hollywood film score include Gone with the Wind, Mutiny on the Bounty, The Informer, and The Bride of Frankenstein.
Max Steiner is the composer for Gone with the Wind. This film has a postromantic style. Music follows the ever-changing moods of Scarlett, her emotions, and emotions of other characters. Themes are used for different characters and relationships amongst them, such as Scarlett and Ashley’s love theme. The music is written for a full symphony orchestra.
Herbett Stothart is the composer for Mutiny on the Bounty. This film’s success is due to the musical scores used. The music reflects the opposing moods of the plot. Distinct music is played for the different English portions of the film and the Tahitian portions of the film. Marches and navy tunes indicate the English location and lush string sound indicate Tahitian scenes.
Max Steiner is the composer for The Informer. This film heavily integrates music into the drama. Each character has a theme, source music is used to set the location, the music......

...Are the Dodd Frank Act Whistleblowing Measures Effective?
Whistleblowing in the Financial Markets:
Name:
Professor:
Course:
Date:
In the wake of the Global-Financial Crisis there have been various strategies employed to improve corporate governance, but the main question to ask will they work? The expansion of whistleblower bounties under s.992 of the Dodd-Frank Act 2010 (Dodd-Frank Act) has been one such measure. This measure has been identified as significantly controversial, because it is superseding the traditional internal reporting processes (Schuman & Keating, 2011). The Dodd-Frank Amendment Act that was introduced in 2011 was an attempt to mitigate the potential harm that offering bounties to whistleblowers may have; albeit it seems to be side-lined through consultation processes. Thus, the following research will explore if the bounty provisions are a necessary and effective tool to increase supervision within financial institutions.
The concept of “Whistleblower” needs to be identified before moving on in this discussion. The concept relates to a company insider reporting to an appropriate body when there are actions that are breaching the law or acting unethically (Kohn, 2011). Thus, whistleblowing and corporate governance are intrinsically linked. The indications are that the use of monetary incentives is not the most effective model to enforce whistleblowing as an effective deterrent, which can be supported by the poor statistical reception under the...

17. MACAULAY ON THE FIRST INDIAN WAR OF INDEPENDENCE: SEPOY MUTINY IN 1857
The last few years of his life were years of discontent, momentous changes, and uprising in India. The First War of Indian Independence, often called the Sepoy Mutiny, would shock Macaulay. He was not now part of the Indian landscape, living in far away England. And he left India nearly twenty years before the start of the "mutiny" or "rebellion." However he kept himself in touch with the developments in India.
On June 29, 1857 Macaulay wrote in his diary, "Horrible news from India; massacre of Europeans at Delhi, and mutiny. I have no apprehensions for our Indian Empire; but it is a frightful event. … I cannot settle to work while the Delhi affair is undecided" (Trevelyan 1876: 358, Second Volume).
Macaulay also wrote,
The cruelties of the sepoys have inflamed the nation to a degree unprecedented within my memory. Peace Societies, and Aborigines Protection Societies, and Societies for the Reformation of Criminals, are silenced. There is one terrible cry for revenge. The account of that dreadful military execution at Peshawur,--forty men blown at once from the mouths of cannon,--their heads, legs, arms flying in all directions,--was read with delight by people who three weeks ago were against all capital punishment. Bright himself declares for the vigorous suppression of the mutiny. The almost universal feeling is that not a single sepoy within the walls of Delhi......
