Bates Letter, 1902
No full textF. L. Bates was an author on the Lincoln assassination and a lawyer. He believed Booth escaped the Garrett Farm barn. In the bulk of this letter Bates explains, at least to his satisfaction, that he has a tintype of a man he believes to be Booth, which can prove his belief about Booth's escape to others.As a young man in Granbury, Texas, Bates met local barkeep John St. Helen, who claimed to be John Wilkes Booth, long a fugitive following his murder of Abraham Lincoln. Bates believed St. Helen's story. Years later when another would-be Booth, David George, committed suicide in Oklahoma, Bates viewed the body and decided it was that of his old acquaintance St. Helen. Bates acquired the corpse and for years he and his heirs exhibited the mummified remains throughout the South. Bates promoted his contention in "Escape and Suicide of John Wilkes Booth," published in 1907, which included a purported confession

Influence of density-dependent food consumption, foraging and stacking behaviour on the growth rate of the Northern abalone, Haliotis kamtschatkana
No full textGrowth of abalone in the wild and hatchery is density-dependent in response to intraspecific competition for food and/or space. To determine if a candidate aquaculture species, Haliotis kamtschatkana, exhibits density-dependent growth we raised animals at three density levels and two food treatments: unlimited (ad libitum) and rationed (individual portions were the same among density treatments). We also tested for differences in food consumption, foraging patterns and stacking behaviour among the density levels. We observed density-dependent growth in the rationed treatments, indicating that relatively high growth rates at lower densities are driven, in part, by factors other than differences in food consumption. However, overall the quantity of food consumed related directly to growth; treatments fed ad libitum had higher growth rates. Furthermore, even when food was provided in excess, foraging was restricted to ~ 2 h after sunset in all treatments and the amount consumed per abalone was significantly lower at high densities. This is probably because high density animals could not access the food provided: fewer were observed foraging and they had to move from prominent stacks. Our results indicate that both temporal and spatial access to food are critical and that managers can observe foraging and stacking by abalone in tanks to determine if a specific design will limit food consumption, and ultimately growth

DISCOVER YOUR CEO BRAND : Secrets to Embracing and Maximizing Your Unique Value as a Leader by Suzanne Bates.
No full textWhat do Oprah Winfrey, Mary Kay Ash and Michael Dell all have in common? They’re some of the most inspirational entrepreneurs of our era. Their personal brands, which are highly regarded around the world, are also some of the case studies in best-selling author Suzanne Bates’ most recent book, Discover Your CEO Brand.
Bates’ gripping third book shows that, just as every notable leader has had a distinctive path to success, you too will also have unique goals and dreams for your own personal brand. From leading CEOs to new entrepreneurs, Discover Your CEO Brand is relevant to any businessperson and has the potential to change the way that you see your personal brand.
Creating a personal brand is not just important to the upper echelons of the business world; branding yourself can also help your small business or enhance your experiences in community and personal interactions. Over 12 chapters, Bates takes an assortment of outstanding entrepreneurs from different backgrounds and companies and examines their accomplishments, as well offering some valuable tools for increasing the visibility of any brand.
One of the reasons that Discover Your CEO Brand is so valuable is that the information is current; Bates understands the changing dynamics of the business world. An entire chapter is devoted to the growing attention to the recent social media phenomenon. Successful CEOs from the computing industry like Mark Zuckerberg and Steve Jobs reinforce Bates’ discussion as real-life examples.
What’s more is that Bates’ life experiences have helped to make Discover Your CEO Brand clear and easy to read. Her background as the CEO of her own company, an executive coach and a television personality means that she can communicate the steps to building a reputable brand in an effective way. This clear, yet comprehensive approach is one of the common points of praise for Bates’ book.

Die waardasie en meting van ontasbare bates.
No full textIn praktyk word daar talle probleme met die rekeningkundige verantwoording van ontasbare bates ervaar. Hierdie probleme kan in vier hoof kategorieë verdeel word naamlik die identifikasie, erkenning, tydsgaping en meting van ontasbare bates (sien hoofstuk 2). Van al hierdie probleme is die metingsprobleem die grootste, m.a.w behoort ontasbare bates teen koste of teen billike waarde gemeet en in die state ingesluit te word? Daar is talle argumente teen die gebruik van beide en díe word in detail in hoofstuk 2 uiteengesit. Dit is die skrywer se mening dat billike waarde ‘n baie beter maatstaf vir sodaninge bates is, omdat koste gebaseerde maatstawwe nie altyd relevant is nie. Die grootste kritiek teen die gebruik van billike waarde -maatstawwe is egter dat dit onbetroubaar, ingewikkeld, duur en wisselvallig kan wees. Daar is ook vrese dat die openbaarmaking daarvan nadelig vir maatskappye se kompeterende voordeel kan wees.Die probleem wat rekeningkundiges in die gesig staar is dus eerstens om die kwalitatiewe eienskappe van relevantheid en betroubaarheid teen mekaar op te weeg. Indien hulle tot die gevolgtrekking kom dat relevantheid in hierdie geval belangriker is as betroubaarheid moet die kwessies van koste, ingewikkeldheid en wisselvalligheid steeds aangespreek word. Hierdie studie bestudeer benaderings en metodes om ontasbare bates teen hulle billike waarde te meet, ten einde te bepaal of sodanige metodes wel die kritiek daarteen kan oorkom, m.a.w. kan sodanige billike waarde -metodes wel ‘n betroubare, koste-effektiewe, verstaanbare en stabiele aanwysing van waarde verskaf?Prof. D Coetse
John Bates Clark a jövedelemelosztást meghatározó természeti törvényekről = John Bates Clark on the netural laws determining the distribution of income
No full textA könyvben, melynek bevezetőjét és első fejezetét közöljük az alábbiakban, a szerző John
Bates Clark bizonyítani kívánja, hogy társadalomban a jövedelemeloszlást a természeti
törvények határozzák meg, amelyek a termelés különböző funkcióinak a teljes termékhez
való hozzájárulásán alapulnak a határelemzésnek megfelelően. Ezzel összefüggésben nagy
hangsúlyt fektet az igazságosság kérdésére a bérek mennyisége, a profitráta és a járadék
erkölcsi igazolhatóságának szempontjából. Ebben a tekintetben a bérek kialakulására fókuszál, mivel ez a központi kérdése azoknak a vitáknak, amelyek a kizsákmányolás létezéséről, illetve a szocializmusról, mint a kizsákmányolás lehetséges megoldásáról szólnak.

In the book the Introduction and the first chapter of which can be found below, the author
John Bates Clark intends to prove that the distribution of income in a society is determined
by natural laws, which are based on the contribution of the various functions of production to the total product in compliance with marginal analysis. In connection with this he
also places much emphasis upon the question of justice, on the problem as to whether the
magnitudes of wages, profits interests and rents are morally justifiable. In this context he
focuses on wage determination because this is the core issue of the debate on whether exploitation exists at all and, if it does, whether socialism could be a possible remedy for that
