United States v Karen Fletcher (2006)

Fletcher’s Lawyers

Indeed it is our contention that the actions in this charge do not in substance amount to obscenity. It is our contention, which we humbly submit, that the contents of the Red Rose Website in their entirety do not constitute any form of obscenity. In seeking to convince the court of our contention we wish to rely on the celebrated ruling of Miller v California. Indeed, the Miller test was muted with the intention of phasing out the previous bad law. The Miller test classifies obscene material as that which lacks serious literary, ...

Simultaneously, heroines are the ones who enjoy the symbolic protection of the fairy tale universe and it is this that proves to be their salvation, and not their own survival skills. However, one heroine rises above all of these passive damsels in distress and takes her fate into her own hands. At first, Gretel is obedient and passive, listening to her brother’s ...

Theoretically, a fund manager has an option of selecting a portfolio with a pin where the efficient market hypothesis is true. The argument is that prices of a portfolio are known with certainty meaning that the pin risk in a portfolio is mitigated. However, this is always not so because, under this hypothesis, the price of a portfolio is equal to the fundamental value of the same portfolio. This means that the returns are equal to the opportunity cost of capital, which is not attractive to investors.

In addition to unattractive returns, fund managers may not opt to invest in a portfolio by considering the efficient ...

Anchoring also known as pivoting or focalism may be defined as a cognitive prejudice capturing the human propensity to rely, rather too heavily or as the word calls, anchor, on a single characteristic, angle, or piece of information when arriving at decisions. It’s more evident when children make decisions about their surroundings and how they take a ‘monoperspective’ on the same. Adjustment on the other hand involves articulating the information one has into reaching a plausible estimate[ CITATION Rei09 \l 1033 ].

Anchoring and adjustment therefore describe the art of basing heavily on a piece of information then bending it into a realistic estimate to ...
